Kara no Kyoukai is seven movies based around a series of light novels written back in the 90s by Kinoko Nasu.

There are no actual "episodes" though each movie could be considered an episode. There are seven total, with the last one concluding the story released earlier in 2009. They were aired in anachronistic order, so each movie doesn't necessarily lead into the next.

If you were to watch them in chronological order, you would watch:

#2 ~ Murder Speculation (First Half)
#4 ~ The Hollow Shrine
#3 ~ Remaining Sense of Pain
#1 ~ Overlooking View
#5 ~ Paradox Spiral
#6 ~ Oblivion Recorder
#7 ~ Murder Speculation (Second Half)

I really recommend them. They're all very good, some are more action-oriented than others--there's quite a lot of fighting in both Paradox Spiral and Murder Speculation (Second Half)--but every last one of them is worth watching.

Not to mention the artwork is gorgeous. Movie budgets are a wonderful thing.
