^ I believe it is safe to say the music for all movies thus far has been godly Whom do i need to abduct in order to get my hands on that soundtrack ...
This movie was once again a pretty delightful treat - Kara no Kyoukai continues to deliver a pretty memorable performance, atmosphere and mood being the strong points of it. (The excellent cinematography, visual quality and musical score contribute very nicely towards that goal). A rather 'slow' episode in a way, but it had some of the explanations about Shiki's character that we needed, character building and how she ended up working for Touko. I liked the detail how she literally saw things falling apart (flesh included), not just the lines - it isn't that surprising one would consider clawing out their own eyes at that. There is little to none i can complain about here, except the next one not being here soon enough The preview showed us some pretty interesting things, should be good once it gets here.

Though for a more related example, even though her eyes were initially "off" in Movie 3, Shiki still noticed Fujino's ruptured appendix. So long story short, Shiki probably always sees something, but she doesn't see the full extent of the lines nor can she trace them unless she turns her eyes "on". And since Shiki has a taste for murder and all that, she probably just doesn't mind. |

4th movie was great. I wasn't so big on the action for this one. But the void in the beginning....that was just amazing. And yes the whole character bits in this episode were great. It definitely shined alight on Shiki's despair.

Also, as for the eyes, while I can't provide an explanation if she's actually able to turn off her eyes completely or not, you gotta remember that Ryogi comes from a "special" family and she was being trained ever since she was born. So unlike Tohno, she's able to accept stuff like the lines way faster without getting too strained by it.

The setup and all are completely compatible, but Nasu weirdly restricted both stories as it will not happen at the same said "universe". You can say that Rakkyo and Tsukihime are spin off of each other.

So in order came to fix that Nasu came up with the previously mentioned "Mystic Eyes" clause.

I suppose, I don't ever remember hearing about Mystic Eyes as being only one person at once, considering the possibility behind them is open to anyone, it just takes unlocking the circuit in your brain. Its just an extremely rare occurrence. However no point in arguing with the authors call.

For Rakkyo, I put up a post here with some general info and several images, since they are hard to come by. |

Well, they'll touch more on this later, but to give you an explanation suggested by chapter 4 in the novel:
Spoiler for :
To get a basic idea for it in the movie, rewatch the section where Shiki and Touko are talking about how they'd classify Shiki's two personalities (composite individual personalities or whatever it was) or SHIKI's explanation of the two sides in movie 2. For simplicities sake: Because Shiki's head connected with a moving vehicle. |

omg, the 4th was awesome too, from the opening part to the end. The fighting scene alway can't get enough, I think the fighting part must match with that bgm, too short. and sad to see SHIKI gone too . After watching this episode, more understand to the story and working with her because can murder?
btw, the song as always, godly !!! and long hair shiki not bad too . looking forward to next, so far 4 episdoe also very nice.
