Into The Nasuverse | Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners (Full Series Retrospective)

Kara no Kyoukai is a name that either sounds like an old friend, or something completely alien. But if you’re familiar with terms like Type-Moon or Nasuverse, it probably rings a few bells.

Kara no Kyoukai was one of Nasu’s earliest works, and even though he wrote the novels as a young adult, these stories still hold up amazingly, And to make matters even better, the Ufotable adaptations remain just as awesome and beautiful as they were over a decade ago.

However, there’s no denying that Kara no Kyoukai is still fairly niche, especially compared to peers like Fate and Tsukihime. But not without reason either. The series is far from perfect, and even though the series is very well regarded by many fans (myself included), many things like the genre and story writing must have played a part in it’s lack of widespread appeal.

But while this video is going to be a more critical look at the series, make no mistake. I’m a huge fan of this series, and it’s THE reason I even got into Type-Moon as a whole. I love this series, flaws and all, and I’m excited to share that adoration with other fans.

Into the Nasuverse
So as I sort of implied in the video, this is going to be the start of an on-going series titled “Into the Nasuverse”. I expect most of the other projects will follow suit to this one, where they explore both the anime adaptations as well as the source material they drew from. I know the Nasuverse is absolutely gargantuan, so I don’t expect to “finish” this series, or even tackle each entry in a timely manner.

But this is what you can expect in the future for Nasuverse projects when they pop up:

-Into the Nasuverse: Fate/Zero

Fair warning, don’t expect this for a while. I want to take care of a few other projects before getting into another Nasuverse one.

-Into the Nasuverse: Fate/Stay Night 2006
-Into the Nasuverse: Fate Stay Night, Unlimited Blade Works, 2010
-Tsukihime, 2003
-The Ufotable adaptations, obviously

On the VNs, I’m still not sure how to approach it yet, but I do want to cover them as well. I think a "Why You Should Play/Read" could work, and maybe a full spoiler dissection as well.

…At least that's what I have planned. Obviously everything is subject to change, and I have no problem adding in something like Apocrypha or Strange Fake to the mix.

Anyways, I hope that made sense, and works as a general “roadmap”, in addition to other upcoming projects.
