Kara no Kyoukai movie 4 recap

March 1996 - The Hollow Shrine

Shiki has been injured and is now in a coma... it shows a visualization of her accessing the "root" and learning to see death. Mikiya somehow meets Aozaki for the first time during this... Mikiya says she's different than she seemed like on the phone..

I'm switching my personality depending on how I view things.

Shiki is naked and is seeing hallucinations of her own body while floating in this endless void... suddenly she wakes up. She looks around and sees lines on everything... Touches a flower and kills it...

Mikiya and Toko comes to see Shiki, but only Toko is allowed to see her for some reason... Some nurses are saying something about how Toko is now in charge of this girl who Araya used to be in charge of... Shiki now has a blindfold on, I guess because she's still freaked out by her eyes. This is Aozaki Toko's first time meeting Shiki... She introduces herself as a sorcerer... Shiki says she has no need for one of those.

That's right... a sorcerer can't fill the whole in your chest. The only ones who can fill it are normal people... You've already realized that you're alone now, right?

Shiki is surprised about how much Toko knows...

That night, Shiki gets visited by some trippy looking figure that seems to be made up of the "Death" that only Shiki can see... it tries to go inside Shiki's body.

Was that just a hallucination or something? Next, Shiki is thinking to herself...

It's so beautiful here. It's so happy... but humans are so alone.

That woman who calls herself my councilor visited me every day. I realized that I had become dependent on my conversations with her.

Toko:

I see... So it's not that SHIKI-kun didn't have initiative over the body, but it's just that he didn't use it...
The two of you exist at the same time, each having their own experiences and will. And yet, the actions you take are the same. There isn't any other case of such a complex and bizarre dual personality.

Toko starts to wonder why SHIKI always sleeps, if they are essentially the same personality. Meanwhile Shiki is thinking about Mikiya... "His name is the only name I can't remember..."

Toko is talking to Mikiya about her...

She probably doesn't even have a sense that she's alive... but there will come a time when she'll realize that she's Shiki.

There's

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 12 (Black Moon finale)

ACT 25 - Showdown -Death Phantom-

Prince Demand now has posession of both silver crystals after getting them from wiseman and Sailor Moon... he's about to touch them together, which would create a paradox crash or something... Pluto comes in just in time to say "Stop"... the third taboo she must not commit...

If you were ever to commit such an act...

...and then the flashback ends.

King Endymion is the first to break through Pluto's power and find out she stopped time... the senshi and Mamoru all wake up soon too... then Black Lady...

Usagi comes up to Pluto... she explains that she committed the one thing that the queen warned would kill her if she did it...

I think I just figured out something about the manga story just now... Pluto dying and being reincarnated again so quickly by the end of s3... then doing the same for Saturn sort of... the outer Senshi, because of their connection to the time key holder, exist farther across in the 4th dimension and can freely travel through that fourth dimension...
okay whatever dunno where I was going with that random high thought.

Pluto yells at Usagi to grab the 2 crystals from Demande... she quickly snags them and runs back to her... does she even know which one is her's?

Pluto on her dying breath...

Sailor Moon... I beg of you, save Small Lady.

Next she brings Diana over with her warping magic she suddenly has? Oh yeah, I forgot she left Diana in charge of the door... She then looks at the king and recognizes how much she loves him as she passes away...

Oh gosh... These feels as soon as Usagi starts bawling her eyes out... and Chibiusa/Black Lady sits there, in total shock... as if time seemed to stop for her...

I am... black lady... I have no friends or allies... I am alone...

She remembers Pluto entrusting her to a very important time key...

And then it flashes back to when Small Lady went and stole a key from Pluto and ran off with it, before she became best friends with Pluto... She got in trouble by her mom for coming to see her even though she said Pluto is a close friend... Chibiusa asks Pluto:

I wonder if mama really loves me?

Hugging and kissing alone are not the only proof of love, Small Lady. Just thinking of someone, and quietly watching over them from afar is also a form of

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 11

ACT 23 - Covert Maneuvers -Wiseman-

Grown up Chibiusa takes Tuxedo Mask away... Pluto stops Moon from going after him...

In this place between space-time, where concepts such as distance or direction do not apply, there are places where pitfalls open up in the fearsome darkness.

But Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Mars say they'll go with Moon, and try to reassure Pluto... Pluto ends up going with them too... they found Chibiusa's P-ball... and the moment it dawns on her that Chibiusa is lost out there too just like Mamoru, she faints...

Meanwhile, Black Lady takes Demande and Sapphir to some firey surface...

Due to the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal and the explosion earlier, fires started on the surface of this planet, and the fusion reactions began.

This is the surface of Nemesis, I think?

The planet was able to grow like this because you built the reactor and set up the Malefic Black Crystal fusion reaction system. Now Nemesis is an unbeatable planet.

Demande notices the Black Moon mark on Black Lady's forehead... "Who are you?"

Then she takes them through a portal into this void world... to a little platform floating in it...

That will be your new castle. Wiseman's Castle of Darkness.

Shit is getting real here...

Demande:

Wiseman... does he come from this twisted space?

Demande really can't tell who this lady is... Then wiseman tells them... "Have you met my Rabbit?"
Chibiusa:

Wiseman's will is absolute. His will is the truth. All we have to do is follow him without going astray.

Then she explains to Saphir that Rubeus rebelled against Wiseman and attempted to escape...

Demande finally loses his allegance with wiseman completely...

Show me your true form. What the hell are you plotting?

My will is absolute! You must serve me. Act according to my will.

His brainwashing works against them... then Black Lady gives them upgraded Black Crystal earrings... these earrings are what Wiseman uses to control his henchmen...

Wiseman asks why the silver crystal isn't glowing like it was before... Black Lady explains that only the Queen can unleash its power...

Now he wants to capture both Neo Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon. He gives Black Lady the crystal... However Demande isn't convinced that silver crystal is the real thing, and that Rabbit could be tricking Wiseman.

Now Usagi is in some fake wakeup dream where the dream characters try to convince her everything is normal...

We used your Luna-P to erase everyone's memories. We left the 30th century temporarily

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
