Kara no Kyoukai coming to the big screen
空の境界 (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.

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.
