ik but I also understand. They've been together for a long time even before Kalafina was formed.

Well, only two of the four were together any time before the band was formed.

Yuki Kajiura is their backbone. When Yuki left Space Craft, that's also the time when some members left, leading the disbandment of the group.

Kalafina was specifically made for Kara no Kyoukai. Eventually, they branched out to make songs for other anime, like Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero

There was a time here in the Philippines where motorcycles with huge speakers were all the craze, I heard this song and it instantly stuck into my mind like a worm that dug itself too deep into my brain. Then I heard about Kara no Kyoukai from my Nasu-fan friends, those bastards pushed me into a hole I am too weak to climb up from.

[@maestromars8487]

Buti may kababayan na may gusto dito lalo na ang part 5 ng Knk. Overshadowed sya ng Fate/ franchise honestly at Demon slayer dahil lahat ng animation na ito ay gawa ng Ufotable and KnK ay ang unang paggamit ng cgi na nagpaangat sa kanila.(Tsukihime and original Stay Night adaptation when). English for random non-Filipinos: It's good that there's a fellow countryman who likes this especially the fifth part of KnK. It's overshadowed by the Fate/ franchise and Demon Slayer because they're all made by Ufotable and KnK is the 1st usage of cgi that elevated the studio to new heights.(Tsukihime and original Stay Night adaptation when).

Agree with you there.

[@komododragon740]

Is it underrated tho?

[@shensong8650]

@@komododragon740 definitely not underrated but probably not as well known.. Most people probably know more about the Fate series than KnK

[@OverAbsol410]

Mujun Rasen is just a masterpiece. I kinda like the seventh film more because it's more a about Kokutou, Shiki and their feelings and the end destroyed me. But this music makes it all even better.

[@TheSeeking2know]

I just rediscovered Maya's voice again watching this song. Listen to her solo from 0:57 and hear her "a" vowel at the end of the phrase "bokura ni dekiru koto wa tada" around 0:59. I have learned to listen even closer to vocals and I just noticed her technique (dynamics and vibrato) extending that last "a" in such a beautiful way and unique way. She had more skill than we were able to eventually hear unfortunately, especially as her voice would have matured. 😔😔😑 Even at 1:13 she added in emotion to the lyrics with going to that breathy tone on the lyric (romanji): "Zetsubou no amasa", which it seems talks about running but not catching up to someone, so she's expressing the tiredness / futile effort in her voice. That's the kind of thing Hikaru would do, so we would have had two word-painters in the group if she hadn't left. I can only imagine how we would have heard some of the emotional / epic songs like "Hikarifuru", "Serenato", "Sandpiper", "Magia", and so on, with Maya taking lead solos and all the expression she would add. Even song that would have Hikaru giving a brighter tone, and Maya a warmer tone, and they could even have juxtaposed Hikaru/Maya with Keiko/Wakana for some song ideas we will never know. 🤕 1:56 The difference in Keiko's last 3 notes here (because Wakana was coming in to pick up the lead and Keiko harmonized with her). 🥰 In lives post-Maya, Keiko takes the entire section as a solo (and so takes those 3 notes that Wakana originally took). All those little changes matter.

[@clown-chan989]

Just another layer of word-painting, at 1:13 she's singing about "the sweetness of despair", specifically when she's singing "amasa (sweetness)" she used the breathy tone to sound sweeter. But, yeah, same here. I can only imagine how Kalafina would have been if she didn't leave.

Kara no Kyoukai 5

[@Kriss_941]

Series* I mean you don't view each episode of Hellsing ultimate as their own movie just because they're 40-50 minutes long... I feel like alot of the bad ratings this show gets are from people watching it as 7 individual movies rather than 1 series consisting of 7 movies, which is what it actually is... people watch 1 movie and expect it to make complete sense on it's own, but you need to watch all the movies to fully understand... what they basically did was to make 7 really long episodes rather than 25-30(ish) short ones... anyway point was that the entire series is great, not just 1 movie in the series...

[@Kriss_941]

Code Talker you can but you wouldn't go ahead and say episode 1-3 of (insert amazing anime here) where bad without watching the rest of the show... at the end of the day it's a series and should be viewed as a series not as seperate movies...

[@Kriss_941]

Code Talker the point I'm making is that judging a single movie in a series of 7 movies where the story overlaps between the movies makes little sense... you can look objectively at the movie/episode individually and judge it based on many things but taken out of the context of the rest of the show a narrative that would make sense in the grand scheme of things may not make any sense at all when you look at it individually

[@Kriss_941]

Code Talker when it comes to Kara No Kyoukai it's a series where many of the movies make little sense on their own and to fully understand the plot you need to watch the entire series... if you watch the second star wars movie on it's own without seing the other two movies it will not be that good as it will have many plot holes etc... that again was my point, I feel like alot of people give Kara No Kyoukai bad bad rating because they can't make sense of it and then it turns out they never actually watched the entire series and they judged the movie as a standalone movie meant to be it's own story...
