Moon Archive 46: Kara no Kyoukai: Thanatos. (Overlooking View)

NOTE: This episode has a lot of talk about suicide, as it’s the central topic of the first KNK movie. Please be advised!

We’re joined by first-time guest Ina to open up our ride through Kara no Kyoukai (The Garden of Sinners), a Ufotable anime adaptation of the series of novels released by Type-Moon before Tsukihime. We skipped the actual novels due to an inconsistent translation, but we can’t wait any longer to get more, different Shikis in our lives. We talk about some stuff from the novels as well, but not exhaustively.

Next time we’ll be covering Kara no Kyoukai: …And Nothing Heart. (Murder Speculation Part A). For yuri teatime, we’ll be discussing some of our favorite media from last year, as well as the first few chapters of Shards of Honor by Lois Bujold.
