LAND OF NEW MOVIES

Created by Type-Moon founders Nasu Kinoko and illustrator Takeuchi Takashi, The Garden of Sinners (a.k.a. Kara no Kyoukai) started out in 1998 as an internet light novel. The supernatural fantasy attracted a huge online following and eventually made it to print form, selling over 500,000 copies. Set in the same world as Type-Moon's Tsukihime, The Garden of Sinners revolves around the investigation of paranormal incidents by the trio of sorceress and detective agency proprietor Aozaki Tohko, her assistant Kokuto Mikiya, and Ryogi Shiki, a detached teenage girl with the ability to see and kill death.
Starting in 2007, The Garden of Sinners began its life on the big screen as a seven-chapter animated film series with animation by ufotable, the studio behind the Tales of Symphonia OVA. Directed by Obunai Mitsuru, the third chapter, Tsukaku Zanryu, brings the leads closer to the present-day after the second chapter's flashback. Set a month before the events of the first chapter, the film begins with Mikiya's friend Fujino waking up in a bar, surrounded by the body parts of her unfortunate attackers. Shiki takes on the mysterious search for the killer which eventually leads her right back to Fujino and her deadly psychic powers. ~from yesasia~
