PURPLE ANIME LANDSCAPE SERIES

(artwork: Tomoyo Kamoi) The series takes a new turn by adapting the style of dark fantasy in a modern time era involving a group of students whom seems normal at first but contains a dark secret. Kyoukai no Kanata is an animated series based off the light novel of the same name written by Nagomu Torii. Instead, it presents a story that is almost laughable. This series is fails at various levels and if you’re expecting a deep engaging story with well developed characters, then look somewhere else. It’s something that Kyoto Animation haven’t tried before in the past so Kyoukai no Kanata should set its par high with this new style, right? Wrong. Don’t get me wrong, the show has quite an promising premise with the style of a dark fantasy genre. Watching Kyoukai no Kanata is like riding a train but as it moves, it goes down spiral, into the abyss, and finally reaches trainwreck at the shadow of the pit. Their misadventures will soon turn into a fight for survival as the inevitable release of the most powerful youmu, Beyond the Boundary, approaches. Eventually, Akihito also manages to convince her to join the Literary Club, which houses two other powerful Spirit World warriors, Hiroomi and Mitsuki Nase.Īs the group's bond strengthens, however, so does the tenacity of the youmu around them. From then on, the two form an impromptu friendship that revolves around Mirai constantly trying to kill Akihito, in an effort to boost her own wavering confidence as a Spirit World warrior.

In a panicked state, she plunges her blood saber into him only to realize that he's an immortal being. One day, while deep in thought on the school roof, Mirai comes across Akihito Kanbara, a rare half-breed of youmu in human form. As such, Mirai is tasked with hunting down and killing 'youmu'-creatures said to be the manifestation of negative human emotions. Mirai Kuriyama is the sole survivor of a clan of Spirit World warriors with the power to employ their blood as weapons.
