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,

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 10

ACT 20 - Crystal Tokyo -King Endymion-

King Endymion introduces himself to Usagi, Mamoru, and Minako... and he asks Small Lady to formally introduce herself.
... so... cute... she's embarrassed to at first, then goes through with it while blushing...
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a humble pleasure. I'm Usagi Small Lady Serenity, daughter of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion, and the First Princess of the Silver Millennium. I am honored to make your acquaintance."

the king explains that Chibiusa got the idea to come to ask for help in the past because of those stories about Sailor Moon he's told her of. He also explains that him and everyone on earth gained the power of living long lives from the Silver Millennium now being on their planet... theSilver Millennium is like the ultimate form of the Legendary Silver Crystal... an invincible crystal palace that gives positive energy to the rock it is planted on...

then suddenly a big purple crystal structure lands on earth right next to the silver millennium, and starts trying to destroy it... The delicate long lasting peace on this planet was broken... for the people of the 20th century, this is just like "so what it's just another day" for them...

it's just that... it's like the manga/smc story is like... so deep my stoned mind can barely contain it...

the energy given off by this dark foreign rock distorted the space around earth, and siphoned off energy from the planet, and people begun to vanish due to it...

the silver crystal could save them from this, but the only one who is able to use it, Neo Queen Serenity, is unconscious... so wait, that little silver crystal that Small Lady stole is the source of it, or just part of that whole palace? at the very least it's the part that Usagi always kept with her...

this rock came from the planet Nemesis, which was heading towards earth... this is like some Shadow Raiders beast planet shit...
oh and there's this detail I forgot... long ago the earth sent one of its criminals to this planet and left that planet alone, unchecked for centuries... could that be Prince Dimande? or maybe all of those human enemies?
"Then Nemesis was hijacked by the Black Moon"
That's obviously wiseman... and Endymion links that black crystal to this Black Moon group who attacked and committed mass murder...
"That monument is the Malefic Black Crystal, Artemis!"
even the small pieces of

Episode 6 - I'm With The Good-For-Nothing Types

Mikan runs into Natsume on her way to the combination class. Narumi explained the 4 (5) different alice ability types to her, and that she was in the good-for-nothing "Special" class... only Mikan called it the "good-for-nothing" class though. She heared from the mind reader that Natsume is in the "Dangerous" ability class...

Natsume grabs her and covers her mouth while hiding behind the bushes... he's hiding from this older masked guy... then some middle school students show up, they hate Natsume because they don't like that a dangerous guy like him is one of the privileged "principal students".. they mention that it's because he's Persona's favorite that he gets special treatment. Natsume gets mad and threatens to burn these guys if they tell Persona where he is... then one of them grabs Mikan's hair to threaten Natsume.

Then she meets Tsubasa, a middle school guy in the special class. He gets back at the bullies with his shadow manipulation alice, and then he introduces her to the rest of the special class who are mostly older students. They are all very friendly and hold a big celebration for Mikan joining them. Their teacher is a weirdo who frequently "trips" on his time travel powers, and the few times Mikan met him already, he vanished before he could explain who he is. This red haired girl, who I guess is Tsubasa's girlfriend? has a doppleganger ability.

Kara no Kyoukai movie 1 recap

- September 1998 -
- Overlooking View -

The mysterious Fujyou building suicides... none of them had any reason... Shiki goes on one of her late night walks and finds a bloodied corpse on the ground, looks up at the building, sees some flying ghostly figures... 8 of them. Shiki's mage employer, Toko Aozaki, explains her theory...

The Fujyou buildings were built during the economic boom of the 70's then later abandoned... The decision to demolish them was made years ago, but they weren't emptied out until just recently.

I don't know how to put it, but time is crooked there. You could perhaps say that the order is reversed? People's memory, no, records. The rate at which the records compile themselves is slower in that building. So the records from when they were alive haven't been brought up to date yet. As a result, their memories live on.

People don't just instantly turn into nothingness after they die, as long as people remember them. Just like how smoke doesn't suddenly disappear when the fire goes out.

Then she goes into that philisophical discussion about how a view from high up changes your feelings on the world.

A vision that's too large creates a boundary between you and the world. It's more correct for you to recognize the large world you see as the world you live in rather than as the small space around you. But you can't feel that you're living in this big world no matter how hard you try.

She also comments toward Mikiya Kokuto... "I wonder when he will return"... not sure what that's about... Mikiya hasn't talked at all since that scene at the beginning where he brought Shiki some ice cream... Shiki starts to freak out about Mikiya not being around... she here's someone fall off the building, and thinks it's Kokuto at first. She goes into the haunted building, and fights this laughing girl who starts beating Shiki up by controlling her fake arm... Shiki cuts her fake arm off and gets out of there...

While Toko is remaking Shiki's arm, she tells her about when she hired Mikiya... he learned about Toko's doll-making abilities and became fascinated enough with her that he managed to seek her out, even though her headquarters are well hidden and protected. She thinks that maybe Mikiya saw Shiki's former emptiness in these dolls.

Is that girl who Shiki's been talking to all this time, really Toko? She

ACT 17 - Secret -Sailor Jupiter-

Usagi is in her room crying... and she yells at Chibi-usa before realizing she was trying to cheer her up.

later, Chibiusa follows Usagi to the arcade, where the remaining senshi are having their secret meeting... Minako and Makoto get a message from the game center because someone was doing really well at the Sailor V game... it was Chibiusa... wow, Chibiusa and Usagi are practically indistinguishable in their personalities during this scene, it's really cute.

Usagi figures out from Makoto and Minako's deductions that the Black Moon is after Chibiusa...

then there's a really sad seen where Chibiusa gets memories of her parents from seeing Usagi's parents... then she runs away in a rainstorm... remembering Pluto's words cheer her up, and she turned her P ball into an umbrella and made pidgeons fly out of it, some kid saw it... Mamoru sees her, and comes up to ask what she's up to... he touches onto her shoulder as she's looking at the time key... and just then a terrible vision comes to both Chibiusa and him...

Meanwhile, Prince Demand talking with Wise Man.. he (correctly) theorizes that the Sailor Senshi all get their immortality from the silver crystal. he can't wait to crush it and see the look on their faces... Rubeus brings in Petz, the 3rd of the sisters, to avenge Koan and Berthier...

Mamoru tells Usagi that he can feel something really frightening Chibiusa whenever he touches her... and Mamoru's friend overhears the cat talking to them. This guy, Asanuma-chan... he refers to Makoto as "senpai"... Makoto seems to be coughing a lot. he touches her forehead and gets a shock...
"Apparently I get all statically charged when I'm not feeling well."

lemme guess, that storm that has been going on all episode has something to do with Makoto's illness, or Petz, or both...

Asanuma tells Makoto about how he overheard that cat, and something about Ami and Rei being taken...
she looks into his eyes and truthfully reassures him... "We are normal humans. One thing that's different is that we have a destiny to fight enemies. Rei and Ami, who share my destiny, were taken, and I want to save them. No matter what it takes."
then he runs away as Makoto starts coming onto him... he reassures her that he won't tell anyone.

just after he leaves, both Makoto and the storm start getting worse... she barely manages to call her teammates
