Kara no Kyoukai - 6

Oblivion Recording.

Kara no Kyoukai has reached its 6th installment. One more to go before its complete.
The only comment i can give after watching this instalment, is that its a bit of a lacklustre compared to its previous installments.

A brief storyline of what this arc about is below. Please highlight to read to avoid spoilers:

We finally get to see Azaka. Mikiya's sister, who is currently at the boarding school. she's also an 'apprentice' to Touko. At the school there is the mysterious 'fairy' incidents where someone apparently had been killed. Thus, Azaka as Touko's apprentice is out on the job to solve this. However, one problem is that Azaka can't see the fairies, but Shiki can. So Shiki goes undercover there to aid in the job.


As mentioned above, this installment is a tad bland. Yes, the artwork remains nice. but not as nice. Yes, the what little action scenes it has is alright, though its apparent that our main cast of Shiki, Tokuo and Mikiya are the side ones this time. Azaka looks like she can pack a punch. Kalafina still is doing the decent songs, and the bgm remains decent.

Despite all that, i reckon this is one of the slowest installments of Kara no Kyoukai, even compared to the first one. Albiet the action scene is refreshing.
