Kara no Kyokai movie #5 was like the most EPIC 2 HOUR film I've seen in a long time.
Not that I think it's good. At this point I think the writing/story is ^^; and the directing is done in a way to constantly make it as confusing as possible for no reason. But screw objectively thinking about it. That was just some
wowowowo shit.
I wish anime movie follow ups to franchises like Eden of East, or Kenshin/One Piece/Naruto, or Ghost in the Shell, etcetc had the ambition to do a movie as major and crazy over the top epic like this. I was wondering if these guys who'd been doing 50 min movies could pull of a full 120 minute film for #5, but goddamn, that was better than 90% of anime films. It was like Valkyrie Profile 2&3 in 120 mins coming from VP1.
Also I don't see why they blew their load with movie #5 in a 7 movie series. I could just walk away from this series now and be 100% satisfied. Whatever is in movie 6/7 I don't really care. The plot is over. I don't see how they can top that, especially if the last movie is a sequel to the prequel.
And man, that part where
