So now I've finished everything Kara no Kyoukai-related that was on the PDFs that What's-His-Name (The one now translating Witch on the Holy Night) gave out. Of course, I still have Mirai Fukuin to read. When I'm not busy doing other stuff, I'll get right on that.
Best parts were 5 and 7. Should be obvious. On my trusty 0 to 10 scale of quality, this series, depending on the scene, ranks anywhere from 7 to 9. At its best, I like it more than the Hisui route of Tsukihime and the Fate route of FSN. (I am always going to give Type-Moon shit for that.) And at its better moments, I liked it more than the first half of Fate/Zero. As I've said before, Shiki and Mikiya have great chemistry. And, well, I kind of liked Enjou too. And Leo, if only for how fucked up he got. There were a few good characters.
But, I just got back from Aniplex, and I checked the anime trailers again . . . I've changed my mind, I don't wanna watch them anymore. The animation isn't that good, and to be perfectly honest, Yuki Kajiura is not the "god-tier" composer everyone makes her out to be. And given what I've read was cut out, I think I'll manage.

Oh yes, remember how I was talking about how Nasu seems to write girls better than boys? Well, if I count the whole Nasuverse, my top five favorite characters are all females. It's not until you get to spot #6 that you finally see a penis wielder. Observe: #1: Arc. #2: Akiha. #3 Rin. #4 Ilya. #5 Shiki Ryougi. #6 4th War Rider. #7 Waver.

While I've been spending most of my writing time writing my next ebook for self-publication, I haven't given up on my Nasuverse fic yet. I have been working on the final chapter, and it will feature characters I haven't written in a fanfic of mine yet.
Oh yes, I have mentioned two so-called "plot bunnies" for future fanfics in the Nasuverse. In time, if I'm bored enough, I might actually get around to doing them eventually. Of course, the first one I'd do is the parody "Rider and Waver (Not a Porno)", which, in case you forgot, is basically retro 60s Batman, but with Rider playing Bats, and Waver being Robin. I still haven't decided on a Joker analogue yet . . . Gilgamesh, maybe?
I'd do that idea first, since my other concept, a redux of F/E, would require a lot more effort on my part. I have decided on one new thing for this other idea. I know there are AU versions of Fate characters in F/E. While my redux concept would focus mostly on OC Masters and Servants, I already know who the homeroom sensei is gonna be. Hint, it's someone who doesn't know how to use phones. That should be some good fanservice if I ever write this idea out.
