This show needs more Touko action. If Aoko can kick so much ass in Melty Blood, onee-san should get some chance to show off her stuff too XD

Does anyone else feel funny that Kokutou and Tohno Shiki look and sound EXACTLY the same?

The first time I heard his voice and realised it was SuzuKen, I laughed so hard. Tak tahan XD

I'm a little hurt.

With all due respect, I'm quite well-versed in Nasuverse lore. Yes, I also know that Rakkyo is the prototype to Tsukihime. Yes, I read the first three novels [thanks, Mirrormoon]. Yes, I've combed through most of the articles in the Type-Moon wiki, and spoiled myself enough long before they even announced that there would be a movie adaptation of the novels.

I'm just pointing out that it's technically amusing for the same seiyuu to be matched with the same face again.

Fujou Kirie [creepy laughing girl who fought Shiki] + 8 flying girls = 9 floating objects.

The reason why there are 8 'ghosts' is because the girls have the ability to have out-of-body experiences. When that happens, Kirie saw them and wants to make friends with their 'spirits' but they ignore her. So, Kirie kinda made them suicide so they would see and talk to her. Shiki's first encounter with Kirie marks the 7th victim, I think. Before the 8th girl managed to suicide, Kirie had killed herself after Shiki stabbed her 'spirit'. Her suicide is the one that Azaka and Touko talk about at the epilogue.

Whether or not the 8th 'innocent' girl suicided, I'm not so sure.

7 episodes. DVD for Ep 5 should be out by 28th Jan. Not sure about the rest.

Actually, I think that's how the book was written. Nasu has a knack for swapping narrative viewpoints in the middle of the story - swapping flashbacks in between would come off as no surprise. I have to admit ep5 almost drove me insane but I think if ep5 was told in a linear fashion it wouldnt leave as much impact as it did. And yeah, perhaps it was arranged that way to get the audience to feel the kind of insanity Tomoe has been going through.

I actually appreciate they went through the trouble of turning the story into a puzzle. Instead of watching it and be done with it, KnK becomes something thats actually memorable.

Her tsundere mode went flaring because she doesn't want to admit that she's madly in love with Kokutou. This is one of the rare occasions where passionate love is displayed not by physical gestures but the strong irritation in the boyfriend's absence - and perhaps selfishness, since Kokutou only gave her since phone number and nothing else.

Shiki wants to be loved, she just doesn't want to admit it. And that's why her precious little dere dere moments are so fricking awsm.

One thing I found a bit quirky. Tomoe's mother. In the repeated cycles, she stabs her neck after she stabs Tomoe. Which would mean she'd die in Tomoe's room.

Yet her 'real' corpse is in the living room. A tiny plot hole, or the repeated cycles have a 'slight' variation to reality?

Added on February 8, 2009, 7:14 amSadly, I have to agree with the sound not being emphasized enough in the zombie fight. As far as the lore goes, KnK has always been a cult thing. I doubt it was actually targeted at mainstream audiences. The fact that it only derived a fandom from the light novels (and fans who simply gorge down anything type-moon makes - like me), and ludicrous amount of talk goes enough to say that it was purely intended for the fans.

A similar case would be the Ghost in the Shell franchise. You either be part of the fandom and read the lore yourself [like depthcharge], or you can choose to stay confused and feel ripped off. [well, those who paid to see it at the jap cinemas, that is]

/off topic

Come on, Gundam 00 ep17? You saw that coming MILES away. Calling that better than 2 hours of brainf***ing padarox is simply unjustified, lol.

Not really. Fate and KnK are related by the fact that both are created by Type-Moon. As for any connections, well, I suppose you can say the Nasuverse's rules of myth and magic applies in both series - each explored them in different directions.

In another note, I finished watching it this morning. I shed a tear and gave it an applause

Zeliard: Fate, Tsukihime, and KnK are all set in the Nasuverse. Same law of time, magic and creatures apply.

Tsukihime, of course, what with people calling KnK the prototype to Tsukihime and all. I just answered Lencent's question about the relations between Fate and KnK - which they are indeed set in the same universe. Not exactly what's getting you worked up though, lol.

Lio is a ronery junkie. So he wanted people who could be as crazy as he is. He tried selling the weed and bloodtip to street junkies but they died cos they were too weak against it. So since he stabbed Mikiya in the leg, he offered Mikiya a painkiller, the bloodtip. He hopes that if Mikiya takes the bloodtip, Mikiya will turn batshit insane like him, too.

So Aniplex announced the Bluray box, coming soon. It will have all 7 films, a TV special, a recap episode and the much-anticipated epilogue OVA (and an artbook). The best part is that the original Japanese release will come with ENGLISH SUBTITLES. It's due to be released 2/2/2011. Moonspeak announcement in the spoiler tag.




There's only one problem. It will cost JPY 52500, thats about RM 2000. Not including tax and shipping.
If I had a HDTV and PS3 I'd actually consider getting one myself...

I don't really need fancy subs to watch KnK. But I imagine if they would include english sub tracks they wouldn't Americanise it or anything (like what GG did). At this point, the only reason anyone would buy the BD is to enjoy the beautiful production - subs isn't really a priority anymore. At the moment I'm quite optimistic that they won't have engrish subs, lol.

(if all else fails, there's always a certain thunder god on the internet to depend on)

I heard something about free shipping from PlayAsia. Can anyone help confirm?

So the bluray box goes on sale today, but check out what I found.



Man,talk about upscaling and auto-sharping.

Let's hope that's just a photoshopped trolling attempt. But /a/ seems to provide quite a lot of nasty screenshots.

And here's something else i found!



illustrated by Tenkuu Sphere.

BTW, there were some manga shorts, 3 of em, illustrated by Takeuchi. Side stories, which were quite nice, too.

Koda pemalas. Also, the epilogue had a LOT of Nasuwords. But also a lot of scenes that would look great as wallpapers Its not often do you see an orange sky in a snowy scene.
