Beautiful Conclusion.

"the Garden of sinners Chapter 7: ……not nothing heart. (Murder Speculation Part B)", what a beautiful title. 7th movie of the Kara No Kyoukai series and my favorite out of the 8, is an amazing conclusion to the brilliant series and Ryougi Shiki, my favorite female character in anime.

This movie focuses on Shiki a lot more than anyone else, the build up from the first 6 movies gets a solid conclusion in this movie. The main element of her character, trying to find herself is the main part of this movie. Shiki and her counterpart SHIKI's characters are explained and the loose end left in the first 6 movies are mostly tied by the end of this movie and the view you have of Shiki will also change from the beginning to end of this movie. Her motives, actions everything is explained and her dealing with the loss of her other Shiki is shown here and those parts of the story had great delivery. Other than that, the relationship between Shiki and Kokuto also reaches a beautiful conclusion at the end of their story which I liked the most about the movie. There is a lot going on and rather than writing it here it's best to watch the movie because everything, starting from the characters to small details were very well presented.

Kara No Kyoukai I feel like is a story driven very much by it's characters. Shiki is the pivot of the story and as a result the quality and type of the story depends on her characterization. The way Shiki starts out as someone with someone else that let Kokutou Mikiya into her life and by the end of the story when she loses that part of herself she fears losing Kokutou

and her place in this world. Lio Shirazumi, the antagonist here stalks Shiki and tries to bring her counterpart back but through this it shows that part of her is gone for better and Kokutou being Kokutou would lend his hands to her and love her despite who she is/was. Surrounding Lio, I remember one strongly sexually charged scene. It is nothing like eroticism; rather, it is like watching a butterfly caught as prey as it is being overwhelmed and at the same time, strangely fascinated by its helplessness in facing a certain death which was the most captivating part of the scene. This series although shines when Shiki shines, it sort lacks in the antagonist department but not the aura of a good antagonistic presence somehow, I don't know how. I wanted more of Araya Souren, he seemed like a very interesting character after that movie 5 and having a big role over Shiki's character but sadly wasn't on the screen enough. At the end of the day, Shiki stole the show here and Kokuto was a great support.

The fight sequences were amazing, expected nothing less from Ufotable. The characters were designed very well, liked the art style and especially the dark and 'night' vibe the whole movie has to it that perfectly fits the atmosphere and premise of this movie. Since everything was so captivating, I really failed to notice a super noticeable OST but I usually liked some soundtracks when I listened to them on Youtube.

Now, after a long essay, something I wanna say is the score was really a hard choice for me, although it had the antagonist problem, other problems were not major or worthy of mentioning and as a result, the good parts of this movie heavily outshines the flaws. And despite being a fairly dark series, it has a happy ending. So I chose to give it a 10/10. Superb movie and amazing conclusion to one of my favourite franchises ever.
