Movie 6 is just OK yeah. 7 is mostly decent but 5 is the one with the actual big payoff/climax.

You also get two epilogues and another 1 hour extra movie. (I honestly liked Mirai Fukuin almost as much as Spiral Paradox.)

I really liked Movie 7, maybe even more than 5. I guess it all depends on how you feel about Mikiya/the villain though.

The licking/drooling thing was a bit much, as I recall it.

Also the first epilogue is kind of peak Nasu :words: and not that good IMO, at least as an ending since it was the last thing animated for a long while. It's not as bad with Future Gospel around.

Movie 5 is still my absolute favorite. I've gotten a fair few IRL people to check out KnK on the strength of the scene where Shiki tears through a shitload of zombies alone.

Movie 6 just didn't add anything to the series, really just felt like it's just there to help make 7

Pretty much. I'm okay with 6 though, it alludes to the Origins thing if you listen to Azaka's convo with Shiki. That and I kinda like Azaka despite her dumb bro love.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

It's widely considered the lowpoint of the entire series, and it certainly doesn't help matters that the director kind of completely changed the ending from the original (from what I understand). That said, when I recently rewatched it I couldn't help but have a massive grin on my face whenever the dog was on screen so that's always a plus.

Thankfully, Movies 7 and 8 are usually considered the best right after Movie 5, so it's all uphill from here... except for that epilogue if you choose to watch it.

The series has its low points, but overall it is memorable in a good way. And that's the only thing that matters really.

One's enjoyment of Movie 6 is pretty directly proportional to one's enjoyment of Azaka, and I have to say I like Azaka quite a bit. It's definitely the least KnK of all the movies, but I'd probably put it 2nd or 3rd (1 and 3 are tied for me).

I will watch the dub and only the dub. :smug:

I've never seen the Kara no Kyoukai movies. Think I'll fix that. Even though I hear they're not chronological, I just watch 1 > end right?



e- First movie watched. Pretty okay but kinda slow I wanna say?

Yeah, just watch the order in which they were released to get the full experience.

Lancer and Kirei were the only good voices.

The others were poo poo. Like...the Fate/Zero dub was pretty good (comparatively). Did they just get a different (shittier) voice director for this project or something?

The voice acting of the Zero dub trailer was really bad sounding and in no way reflected the quality of the actual dub. When the UBW dub comes out it will probably be very much the same, because I'm almost certain Oliver was the voice director of the Zero dub too.

In episode 3 of the dub, the voices all seemed too high pitched. Even Archer's.

Correcting a joke is probably too spergy even for this thread, but I'm gonna do it anyways. True Ancestors don't have Reality Marbles.

At least mention that Arcueid has a Marble Phantasm, instead.

Speaking of Reality Marbles, I've been wondering: Is "Grand Reality Marble" an actual term for the area where Gaia's physics apply, or is it just fanon?

Quick notes on the sequels: Fate/stay Night UBW completely Shat The Bed Oh My God You Don't Know You Just Don't Even Know, and it wouldn't be so bad except that Type-Moonies are the literal worst fandom in creation short of maybe bronies but I think they could give the bronies a run for it, because they made managing that show and its editorial a living hell from the beginning but became ten thousand times worse in its second half. Anyway, the second half of FSN UBW was so sanctimonious, anticlimactic, gross, and just plain un-fun that it totally soured the first half for me and a lot of other tentative fans of the new series. (But we're filthy secondaries, so we don't matter to the True Fans.)

There aren't enough :laffo:s in the world.

I remember staying up all night to sit in the hentai video room with about 20 fans as they got to see Night Shift Nurses uncut for the first time, and were jumping up and down screaming in giddy revulsion... It filled me with pride to be a New Yorker, and to be able to have a day to day life that, in a forced, juvenile way, could be thought of as a middle finger to the terrorists by simply continuing as normal.

It ended up being a healing weekend, after all.
