I could write a whole thesis on all the things which I appreciate about Kara no Kyoukai, from the soundtrack and visuals to the characterization, the representation of urban violence and decay and its vision of utilitarianism (and antiutilitarianism) but that would be far from asked for in such a place.

I would love to read something like that. Kara no Kyoukai is fantastic and there hasn't been much written about it in the blogging community. I've been tempted to do something like that for a while, but there's just so much to it that I never feel like I could do the series justice.

We have an editorial on the franchise going up this Friday.

but this is still the most affordable that The Garden of Sinners has ever been.

Not quite, remember when the movies were available for rent on the PlayStation Store?

That said, at it's core, this is a narrative on the conflict between the abnormal and the normal and a defense of the latter over the former. This is a recurring theme in Nasu's work (most notable, perhaps, in DDD) and a prety big reason for why he does so many seemingly pointles scenes like all those times Shirou is cooking and all the dumb but funny scenes in the novels.

Glad to hear there is a piece on GoS appearing soon. I really feel like my experience with the movies could be enhanced by some guidance.

I hadn't really heard of this before, sounds neat. So each episode is a film? How long does it take to watch the whole thing?

I've watched 1-8 and really enjoy this series. I have yet to watch 9 will need to locate it at some point.

No need for dub.. just sayin

At this point I think they'd have to continue to focus on spoiler[Mana] to do anything additional, but I'd definitely watch that.

At $2.99 per rental, a month of Prime + Anime Strike would still be about half the cost. Thus the statement is still valid.
