    The funniest thing happened in a game on Kalos league earlier. Master ball got Giratina on the water level... and the water instantly washed it off the stage.

    Sailor Beamspam Lyrical Nanoha is finally getting another anime season this April. Admittedly it's of ViVid, the way-lower-stakes spinoff/sequel, but still.

    I watched Kara no Kyoukai 2 last night. Enjoy this running diary: Spoiler We open on Specs walking uphill in the snow. For some reason, Shiki’s in a kimono/robe/whatever looking out at the snow. She has some thousand yard stare eyes. But that actually makes her smile look kinda sweet. And because every anime ever needs it, we have shots of a school- and Shiki’s in the kimono there while everyone else is in suits. The hell? Specs notices this and asks her if she has a moment. “You… who are you?” Ah, this must be a prologue type thing. Murder Speculation (First Half) Odd title. Shiki’s got a butler, and apparently a tendency to go for walks. Those are some cool bamboo trees. “As the night grows deeper, so does the darkness. I think I walk through the empty town because I want to be alone. Or is it because I want to think I’m alone?” Deep… and confusing. This music is beautiful. And then someone stumbles in front of a semi truck and gets pulped. Shiki is there and OH GOD she’s putting the blood on her face and using it as lipstick… at least I think it’s Shiki. Meanwhile at school, Specs is chatting with friends, and Shiki’s in her robe at school again. Specs attempts to flirt. She is having no part of it. However, his joke about a leather jacket sticks. So that’s where she got the red coat from. Enjoy an interlude of violent knife murder. And now Specs and Shiki talk about it. Also his name is Kokutou, which I’d forgotten. And the body was removed of all its limbs. Eep. An interlude with cops tells us we’re now on the fourth one. The school puts all extracurricular stuff on hold because murders. Shiki meets someone who accuses her of being the killer. Also he’s oddly friendly about it. Uh… Ufotable has a serious love for weather- it’s raining. Also Kokutou tries, yet again, to flirt with her, this time by offering an umbrella. And then he… leans against a pillar and starts humming? The hell? This is really, really weird. And apparently this is what gets Shiki to crack a smile. ASDFGHJKL what just happened that was a weird vision. Shiki makes that coat look seriously badass. Oh dammit, not another murder. Shiki’s practicing kendo with actual swords apparently. Who’s this old guy, and is he badass? The answer is yes when he smacks her into a wall for the win. Also that’s her dad. And she has a brother, but apparently she’s the only possible heir to the family. She does not want that. Shiki now says she has an inner personality. That… might explain the murders. Meanwhile, Kokutou and some jock guy are talking about Shiki. Jockbro is messing with him about the whole first-name basis thing. And the umbrella thing. And the whole “she’s kinda creepy” thing. And the “you’re totally crushing on her” thing. Kokutou doesn’t care. Speaking of, then he gets a letter from her. And when they meet at the mall, she’s… cheerful and flirty. This is throwing both him and me off. Date montage~! Shiki is outright telling him about the split personality- one’s SHIKI, the other’s Shiki. And SHIKI’s active currently. Ah. They’re mostly the same, but the difference is “priorities.” Stoic-Shiki doesn’t particularly want to talk to Kokutou, cheery one does. “Basically, I’m like Shiki’s rebellious impulse.” And Kokutou’s the target of those impulses. Fortunately, she says she won’t go nuts on him. However, there’s a bit of difficulty on the two being in sync- Shiki has control of the body even when SHIKI’s in control of the mind or something. Clever shot of orange soda bleeding through straw paper there- If it’s a metaphor for the personality thing, it’s a good one. SHIKI bids goodbye, and says they’ll meet again. Kokutou and - that’s the cop from earlier- are brothers, apparently. And they’re chatting over tangerines about the murders. Mikiya’s his first name, which I also forgot. Mikiya Kokutou. No apparent motive or pattern, but that just means it’s trickier to pin down. Cop bro found Mikiya’s school emblem at the scene of the fifth murder. Crap. Mikiya’s narrating now- Shiki’s isolating herself way more- also it’s January 1996. SHIKI has gold eyes and actual pupils when in control now. Apparently they’re out of sync more because Shiki wants to just deny the split personality. SHIKI enjoys killing. Uh-oh. Er… not literally, apparently. Shiki wants to “kill” SHIKI. Regular-Shiki is starting to get annoyed with Mikiya. He’s not really sure why, but he just likes spending time with her. Even with the weirdness. Shiki’s got a bandage on one arm. Got an injury “during the last kill." Also she warns Mikiya that she’ll probably end up killing him if this continues. Mikiya’s chatting with cop bro again, and the latest kill was three days ago. Crap. And the evidence points to the killer having an arm injury. Crap crap. Mikiya has/had a vision and goes running into the night. Shiki ain’t home. Crap crap crap. Mikiya meets with… some woman I don’t know. Long story short, he’s heading back through the bamboo. Dude would fail so hard at being in a horror movie. Oh hey, blood lining the cracks of the cobblesto-DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOON And yes, it’s Shiki. Jesus, that corpse is just spraying blood for like a good minute. “Be careful, Kokutou. A terrible premonition tends to attract a terrible reality.” Mikiya’s lying his ass off to the cops and saying he didn’t see anyone. However, he hint-drops about the Ryougi family. Also he’s not at school now. Faceless Shiki (gotta love art derps) has a flashback. Butler guy tells her that Mikiya’s hanging outside her house. Dude, you are the worst horror movie character ever. I love that he brought a tea thermos. Shiki says “eh let him stay there” and goes to sleep. Shiki wakes up and checks outside. Mikiya’s still there. Next day (?) he’s going back to school. A meeting in the halls… is averted when they walk right by each other. Okay then. They’re on the roof now, and Shiki asks why he didn’t tell anyone. “Well I didn’t see you kill them, so…” Are you kidding me? Now we’re in full on cold shoulder mode- literally, considering he spent every night hanging outside her house in winter. Time passes, stuff doesn’t happen, and after who-knows-how-many-nights Shiki decides to just talk to him in person. Shiki’s literally saying she’s a killer and he’s just saying “no you’re not.” Apparently people call him idiot a lot. So do I. Shiki: “Hey, Kokutou. Are you coming today?” Ominous. He’s there, though, in the rain with an umbrella. Oh hello, Shiki in a red kimono with a knife and swinging at Mikiya. “What’s wrong?” Oh my god. Bamboo trees make for a cool fight/chase scene. And by fight I mean it’s Shiki chasing an idiot with a knife. Mikiya trips and falls, and faceless Shiki is going to murder you now, you idiot. Twenty seconds of him breathing heavily with a knife to the throat later, and Shiki’s crying but doesn’t kill him. (Yet) “Kokutou, say something.” “I don’t want to die.” “I want to kill you.” JUNE 1998- hold on what? Mikiya’s headed home from an office now. Apparently he visits Shiki at the hospital every Saturday. So, uh… the hell happened? this is kind of an important factor, guys Is Shiki asleep or comatose? I’m guessing the latter, considering it’s midday. “April 1995. I met her.” Roll credits. I have no idea what's going on, but I like it. Also Ufotable is ace at animation.
