Why is there no thread on this! WHY? I demand more threadness considering the first volume of 7 was release today (2 days early <3)! I can't be the only Type-Moon fan that was waiting impatiently for this to come out due to the incredible hardcoreness of it, though I have a feeling I'm probably the only one who dished out the cold hard cash to pre-order the limited edition...

For those of you not Type-moon inclined, Kara no Kyoukai was Type-moon's doujin novel way back in the day, think of it as a prototype for nasuverse/Tsukihime (and so, eventually coming to your beloved Melty Blood). In general, think of Tsukihime, with the story changed a bit, and the main hero is now a heroine.

God I wish I could be in Japan right now...stupid stores giving away promotion stuff with the movie...free Häagen-Dazs/bottles water along with phonestraps, bookmarks and other misc stuff... *cries*

I thought about it, but in the end couldn't justify the cost even though I enjoyed the novels. I'm hoping a cheaper pack will come out once the entire series is released.

I'll wait for the box set....

there will be a box set right?

I know, was released two days early, I was totally psyched when I saw an email saying it was shipped yesterday! Not to sure why the change of the date, but well, not complaining, might hopefully receive it by Friday so...

*cough edit cough* Apparently I lied, it shipped yesterday, and it's already in Vancouver...that's only a day's drive...highly likely I might receive it in a day or two <3

I ordered the Comp-Ace Type-Moon magazine, it set me back roughly $40 with shipping, after that, it's not to hard to talk one self into dishing out $80 for the limited edition of the first volume (or second and third version for that matter...). Now what really hurts is when one turns to think that ordering this whole series is gonna set one back $570 for the whole series.

As for a box set, I'm sure there will be one, but you will be waiting a while, the next two volumes are being released a month apart from each other, and god knows how long for the other 4 (I don't believe the 4th has even hit theaters yet). Personally, because I'm obsessed over Type-moon, I couldn't pass up all the extra's the limited editions are passing out, especially since I'm getting the shaft for the theater and in store extras. I mean seriously, I'm still trying to hunt down the phonestrap they where giving out during volume one's theater release, but to no luck I'm afraid.

Now if they would just pump out a release date for the Tsukihime remake, and after that the long awaited sequel! Ok, I can dream can't I?

I'd rather see a Tsukihime 2 rather than a remake of Tsukihime, but at least the remake brings tidings of a Sacchin route. And yeah, the fourth will be hitting theaters soonish, but it's not quite out yet. I'll have to save up for later on and buy it as a box set, as I don't have the funds to go buying them as they release right now. =<

Sh1k1 · « **Reply #6 on:** May 20, 2008, 04:09:28 AM »

I needs me my Tsuki remake soon. I'm all for Kara no Kyoukai, but I'd rather have my Sacchin route and moar delicious flat chest Akiha sooner. >_>

abitofBaileys · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:32:17 AM »

Heh, this is awesome. The DVD trailer made me, like, high. I'm waiting for the Box Set, too and order it. Though, of course I get a RAW for the sake of epic pictures in my forum signatures in the interwebz.

llama_egg · « **Reply #8 on:** May 20, 2008, 03:47:16 PM »

So to my disappointment, my copy won't arrive till tomorrow. As for a raw, I personally might be getting on that if no one else does, as I know quite a few people looking lost as it's not out yet (either that or it's hidden on some Chinese site...).

And yes, I would much prefer to see a sequel to Tsukihime, but saying that, I'll take what I can get. Plus, with the release of KnK, Tsukihime remake and Witch on the Holy Night, one can only hope now that they have begun pumping out attention towards Tsukihime instead of Fate, we might finally see a sequel announced in a year. Or at least it's what alot of Type-moon fans such as myself am hoping for.

Oh, and I'm about to spoil the whole Sacchin route for everyone, in the end...she dies.

FireBearHero · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2008, 04:18:31 PM »

Witch on the Holy Night oh god yes

llama_egg · « **Reply #10 on:** May 20, 2008, 05:25:55 PM »

If you want I can take pictures of the concept art/renders of Aoko, Alice and Soujyuro that they show in the Comp-ace Type-moon magazine once I get my new camera...

And I swear to god, I shall be more then displeased if my order doesn't arrive by tomorrow. Shouldn't take that long to get through customs, seesh.

For those of you waiting to watch it, it's already been speed subbed. Geddit.

both happy and sad its subbed by gg, and takajun both decent groups, however they are fast as shit and have great vid quality.

abitofBaileys · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2008, 03:37:16 PM »

Me not like speed subs.

Btw, why isn't there a high quality version of the KnK DVD Trailer and only Youtube shit? =(

llama_egg · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2008, 07:36:43 PM »

Heh, I didn't think it was possible, but it exceeded my expectations. Wish I could have seen this in the theater's for sure, though wish it was longer. And seriously, the actual fight scene was down right gorgeous, I seriously want to see the jump across the two buildings multiple times.

No doubt about it, was easily worth the $80 to get volume 1.

Now, on a different note, volume 2 is going to make me cry, after watching the next episode portion, it's only part one of the episode. Meaning, we need to wait for the third volume. Ugh.

Also, I'm pretty sure their is a high quality version of the trailer, though I might be going crazy.

Yeah, I was rather impressed as well. There was a lot of little details that really portray the characters well and even something as simple as the color choices in each of the scenes was really nicely done. I felt that the pacing was a little quick, but that's to be expected when cramming the whole prologue into a single hour's worth of time. It just seemed that Mikiya's soul theft was rather sudden and very subtly noted. But that'd be my only complaint on the entire thing. The representation of Shiki's high level mystic eyes of death perception is really dope, as well as the death lines that she was seeing while fighting Kirie's ghosts. And yeah, that entire fight scene as a whole was so beautifully coreographed and animated.

Also, I heard that the next two DVD releases are supposedly going to be hitting shelves rather quickly, so hopefully we won't have to wait long in between parts 2 and 3. I can't wait to see more!

I'd mention that I wrote a review complete with about 20 screenshots, but I doubt anyone here will need it since I'm sure most of us have already seen it by now. =>

POST IT NAO. I'm still downloading it, the damn torrent refuses to finish. Stuck with 4.7kbps at 95.6%. ;____;

llama_egg · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2008, 11:16:20 AM »

Fairly quickly, but not quick enough. The current set dates are 2008/06/25 for volume two, and 2008/07/23 for volume three. So while it's only a month wait between the each of the three volumes, it's still way to long for me.

Im loving kara no kyoukai so far can't wait until the next one.

I really need to go through the novel again, as my timeline is so out of whack. Part II to the next volume is actually volume 7, not 3.

Sh1k1 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2008, 05:47:45 PM »

THIS IS EPIC WIN. WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT.

THREAD OVER.

llama_egg · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2008, 08:47:30 PM »

I told yeah it was something to look forward to. It's down right amazing, and to boot I've been arguing with someone elsewhere that's saying that the animation is low quality and the artists where cheaping out. I'm serious that they are standing by that.

Now on a different matter, my limited edition came in the mail today, I'm totally giddy, pictures shall come.
