Kara no Kyoukai movie 3 recap

July, 1998: Remaining Sense of Pain

It starts off with this girl who can't feel pain, suddenly feels pain in her stomach after she gets raped/beaten up, and is really happy about it... Kokuto finds this girl and helps her out... next day Shiki gets assigned a new mission by Touko... she hears the description, and says she doesn't even need to look at the picture of the suspect this time.

She's my kind. We'll definitely try to kill each other the very moment we meet.

Kokuto borrows money from his friend in exchange for going to look for this missing person... That purple haired girl who can't feel pain is shown killing some random guy, asking where "Keita" is... she probably wants to see this guy again because he is the source of the lingering pain she felt that night...

Azaka is talking to that purple haired girl (Fujino) in a diner, and Shiki comes up to them to tell Azaka that her brother Kokuto stood her up... then Shiki notices something about Fujino... "Doesn't it.. hurt?"
She looks at her for a bit longer... "No... it's not you."
Azaka really seems to hate Shiki, and wants her to stop hanging around her brother.

The guy that Kokuto was asked to look for is "Keita"... he finds out that all of Keita's friends are being murdered one by one.

In the next scene where Fujino uses her mind powers to kill someone by bending their body... she says she needs to do this in order to become "like everyone else"... she doesn't really want to do it.

That's not true.

She criticizes her for how she goes about killing people...

A person who didn't end his life like a human isn't human anymore. A person removed from the boundary line is deprived of all his meaning. Common sense can't deal with things like that corpse, or you.

They're just about to start fighting, but then Fujino hesitates, and Shiki notices something is up with her again. She says..

Nevermind, it's worthless to kill you now. go home.

Fujino describes the time when she was a kid, and cut herself while playing with a knife... she didn't understand what her mom was saying about how "it must hurt"...
she never learned what pain feels like... until now.

I finally acquired pain, I'm alive.

Kokuto finds where Keita is hiding, and he freaks out when Kokuto plays the messages he got from Fujino.. he explains how she

Gakuen Alice manga recap/log part 1

I started reading this at 11/24/2015, before I started watching the anime while high.

Hotaru, Mikan's best friend, suddenly went away and transferred to Alice Academy in order to help out her home town/school's funding... she has a very useful power (called an "Alice") that allows her to instantly manifest inventions of thinks she is interested in. Mikan is miserable about this and eventually decides to try to get into Alice Academy herself to be with Hotaru.

Mikan meets a a very weird teacher, Mr. Narumi, who has the pheremone alice... he realizes right away that Mikan has a unique Alice because his power of attraction doesn't work on her...

Natsume, the fire conjurer is a bad kid who is rumored to have murdered people.. and when Mikan gets involved with him, he finds out that she can block his powers, and that makes him start to become tsundere about her... he also takes her panties off the first time they meet.

Luca, Natsume's friend who is secretly an animal lover, seems to be very loyal to Natsume out of empathy for his situation or something, but isn't really a bad guy.

I'm really loving the character personalities in this...

Got to the end of chapter 16... I'm still finding a lot of stuff is coming back to me. Mikan got assigned as a "no-star" rank by a jerk teacher who just hates the fact that she has the nullification alice. Then Mikan meets the students in her own alice class (the special leftover class that doesn't have a theme) who are a lot more laid back and rebellious...

There's this big plot where Natsume gets kidnapped by a celebrity who visits the school.. Mikan and that girl who Mikan calls "Curly Perm", who's the biggest Natsume/Luca fan, both see the kidnapping but the teachers don't believe them, so they escape school to try to rescue him themselves. It's revealed that Perm's alice lets her grow whiskers and gain the abilities of a cat and a dog. The kidnappers find out about Mikan's alice, and they conclude that she must be related to "that woman", and it seems like she's as important to them as Natsume... but they manage to escape by Natsume threatening to blow everyone up, and then Mikan comes back and tries to stop Natsume from killing himself, and later Mikan wakes up in the hospital and Narumi awards her with a 1-star rank upgrade.

Kara no Kyoukai movie 2 recap

- August 1995 -
- Murder Investigations Part 1 -

This starts out when Shiki and Kokuto are just starting high school... this one time he greets her, she has these dead eyes making it look like she's not herself...

Shiki lives in some big japanese style house with a fancy gate and everything... some servant guy is seeing her off as she goes on one of her late night walks...

As the night grows deeper, so does the darkness. I think I walk through the empty town because I want to be alone. Or at least I want to think I'm alone...

It shows some random dude get run over by a car, and then cuts to Shiki standing over this corpse and then kneeling down into the huge pool of blood, licking it...

Shiki tells Kokuto she'll still wear her kimono even when it's winter, and he gives her the idea to wear a jacket over it... it cuts to another scene where some guy gets stabbed by an unknown person. when Kokuto mentions the murder to her at lunch, she says that's not a very good thing to talk about while eating.

The investigators say that this is the 4th one... and they noticed a strange yin-yang symbol written in blood. Later, the school announcement is saying all after-school activities are shut down for now... Shiki meets some unknown student who knows that she's looking for Kokuto, and tells her "I know you're irratated, but isn't four times a bit too much?", and then he walks off...

This story is just as hard to follow as it is in the book... it's a very weird style of storytelling...

Kokuto comes and offers her an umbrella, but she says she's waiting to get picked up by her guardian, so he asks if she would mind if he waits with her... he's very chill about it when she doesn't respond, he takes it as a "I don't mind" and just stands there with her, not even trying to make bothersome small talk or anything... and starts humming to himself. Shiki enjoys it... and then some really good classical music plays in the background along with the humming...

I gotta find this theme... at around 0:14:00

Suddenly, something happens inside Shiki's mind, a bunch of the murder scenes flash in her mind, and then she yells out "Kokuto-kun!"

Did she just change to her other self? which self was the one from before,
