空ã®å¢ƒç•Œ (kara no kyoukai), the popular two-part novel by Kinoko Nasu set in the same universe as Tsukihime, is being made into a movie. TYPEMOON fanboys rejoice!
According to Moon Phase Zakki, the animation production is by ufotable, production is by Aniplex and a commemorative Kara no Kyoukai shopping bag will be given away at TYPEMOON’s C71 booth.
Wo0t!!! This is the best news since… erm…
Well best thing since I watched KnM. ^^
YESSSSSSSSSSS.
To be excited or to not be excited… well, it’ll be cool seeing Ryougi Shiki on the big screen, but I’m not going to get excited over yet another TYPE-MOON adaptation.
zOMfG.
Please make it a 2-hr movie with a LOT of cool effects and as close to the original novel as it can get.
Now if only I can get around to finishing the novel… each book is damn thick >_> Shiki ftw \o/
I look at it this way. It will be extreme. Either extremely good like Futakoi Alternative and 2×2=Shinobuden, or extremely wasted like Coyote Ragtime Show.
I pray for the former.

I’m really looking forward to it :D
Type-Moon adaptations tend to go awry. Also, is it just me or is the trailer not working?

>Beowulf Lee: the trailer can be viewed through IE
Beowulf: It’s probably not up yet. You know how Japanese web admins are like…
It is up :D
View the site through Internet Explorer
Ah, so it’s some gay DRM ActiveX that only works in IE.
Anyway the trailer is lame. Don’t bother watching it. It’s just a few still illustrations from the novel with ugly text overlays and a BGM playing.
…which makes it unviewable on macs. Well, that sucks.
Thank god for the IE tab plugin for Firefox.
When is http://www.code-geass.com going to update??
Oh crap nevermind.
Sherman, the Ramni:”Please make it a 2-hr movie with a LOT of cool effects and as close to the original novel as it can get.”
If I were you I wouldn’t ask for that. It’s really long(2 books of ~500 pages, with only and image each chapter) and philosophical+it should be a dark theme so if they put too many cool effects it’d be bad. I want to see the Monster of the Blue Mage with cool effects though, that was my favorite part of the novels.
The only thing I don’t want them to do is turning Leo into a Smeagle type character, although he should be.
If they want to follow the story real close, it will have to be a 2 part movie of 2.5+ hours each, nahaha.
There’s no Kara no Kyoukai in English, so this and the drama CD (which I DO have) are my only way of getting an authentic experience. I’m really looking forward to this.
Try going to baka-tsuki’s translation project page. They have the first 3 chapters of KnK up in english.
