Off hand I can't really think of a single story that was made better by telling it out of sequence.

Haruhi was quiet popular for it's unique way of being aired, but there was no other advantage than that. So, it was useless and you may be right.
But for this series, it's really traping me, knowing the present (or future) whitout knowing how things started. Like Touka Gettan, it gives you the solution to a problem wich you still don't know, so the funny part of this order can be to discover the root of the problem and not it's development. But touka gettan still was hard to watch. Kara no Kyokay is a bit easier, since at least, it has clear dates hehe.

By the way... now I get why Shiki had a fake arm... who knew...

Spoiler for :

The starting was *cough*...

after that those blood screen was make me feel a bit like digusting, blood is a must in Kara I think.

After all, so Shinki see through her from the start, a very strong character with a super eyes, the bending power can be cut and even can cut the disease. Shinki become more kind because meeting Kokuto.

from this episode, her hand become useless because the bend? o.O" or?

Most important for me, this episode her smile was very nice, gorgeous.

Spoiler for Spoiler?:

Ok I watched it and I was totally speechless, I am totally a Type-moon fan now. After seeing level 3 直死の魔眼 in TOTAL action with PERFECT Animation and FABULOUS audio track, I never been so excited in my life. <3 Shiki. I was waiting FOREVER for this, thinking "Till when shall my 直死の魔眼 come?" Although I read the novel but the whole plot is still exciting and fresh.

~For those who are confused at the order of the story:

Spoiler for Spoiler:

It arrange not according to timeline, Episode 1 is sort of like present along with Episode 3. While episode 2 was in the past, BEFORE Shiki get the Mystic Eyes which requires someone to perceive death; such as by having the near-death experience. In Shiki's case, the coma. The next episode is going back to the past again but not going to spoil much about it.

Nuuuu Sakura ;~;

Spoiler for KnK Remaning Sense of Pain:

Damn, I thought I was going to cry if Fujino would have died.
Thank you Shiki! And hope the next movies talk more about Azaka, somehow I got some Akiha vibes from her

Just look at that rain! Awesome quality.

[vorpal83]

I wonder why?

Ahiha's based on her.

[Deathkillz]

Here are some of my thoughts on the 3rd movie ^^

Too bad Azaka won't get her turn till the 6th movie

[Eviltape]

I joined /jp/ and everyone in this thread right at the point where...

Spoiler:

...Shiki was rearing her arm. I'm sure we were yelling "FUNJINOOOOOOOOOOO! ;_;" If we were alone while watching.

And then after that,
WAIT WHAT. FUJINO!

Orgasmic, gratifying, etc. All very colorfully metaphorical. For better or worse, fans here aren't shy when it comes to expressing their true feelings.

The second episode still is the best among the 3 aired thus far.

Spoiler for :

at the end of the third chapter in the novel, she mentions killing it cause of the bend.

edit: it's in the movie as well.

Haha, I thought it was a little funny that no one seemed to mind too much that Shiki had just lost and killed one of her arms. "Shiki: no thanks, I think I'll just hang out with Kokutou. Yeah, my arm's twisted into a bloody mess, but it's not like it's going anywhere, so we'll worry about getting it replaced later."

Artificial arm, can always be replaced.

I love her level 3 Mystic Eye <3 <3 <3. I seem to like 七夜's clan better, although seems that Ryougi is trained killers as well; 七夜 just seems to be stronger.

[Deathkillz]

I seem to think that it is implied that the arm that was turned into a bloody mess wasn't artificial in the first place...or am I wrong? O.o

But this one is her real left arm.

You are absolutely right. Toko answers when Shiki asks for an replacement of arm which is killed by herself, "I already think you get great eyes but your flesh is too normal. Let me make you a new left arm which can seize spiritual beings." I think these lines clearly imply the arm Shiki kills this time is her real arm.

That is because we know already she will get an arm from Toko. Remember Toko said in first movie, "it's just around one month from Fujino incident, you should be more careful about using artificial arm."

Nevermind I totally missed this, Fujino's incident was before episode 1.

You aren't getting what I'm saying. That's her real arm (right?), and it's very, very mangled. That isn't something you can just put off. She should be going for treatment immediately, even if only to get it amputated.

And that reminds me. I also found Toko's "I will give you arm capable of grabbing spirits" line highly amusing. Good foresight, hmm?

These two are thinking what I'm thinking.

It was the way Shiki asked the question to Touko...

Spoiler:

It sounds to me she is asking a question that she "can" make an artificial limb meaning that this is the first time.

She killed it with her Mystic Eye, so its existence is basically been denied. Sort of like anywhere amputation. And yea, I totally mistaken. Episode 3/Fujino's incident is before she gets the artificial arm.

[KaneDragon]

And also, when they discussed getting Shiki a new arm, Toko shrugged and said that Shiki's body had always seemed too human anyway for those Mystic Eyes.
