Life of an Anime Addict #1 : Kara no Kyoukai
If you guys are into psychological thrillers, Kara no Kyoukai aka Garden of Sinners is definitely the anime for you. Based on the light novel series written by Kinoko Nasu in 1998, Kara no Kyoukai is a 7-part movie series animated by ufotable and part of the Type Moon series.

Those otakus out there who have watched Fate Zero, Fate Stay Night or Tsukihime would probably be familiar with this anime. Set in an alternate universe, Kara no Kyoukai tells a story of a Mikiya Kokutou and Ryougi Shiki who are both detectives at a Garan no Dou, a secret detective agency owned by a magus, Aozaki Tokou. Even though the different movies are about different distinctive cases, there is still a main story line that links all the 7 movies together - the story of Shiki's past and the love story of Shiki and Kokutou. But just a little warning to you readers, this anime is definitely not for the little kids out there.

I have to say, the storyline of this anime is really plotted out well. Even though each movie tells a different story, they all revolve around the past and future of the main protagonist, Ryougi Shiki. I also admire the author's method of not telling the story in a chronological order, by jumping back from the past and the future in all 7 movies, which allows viewers to put on their thinking cap. These type of animes really turns me on!!

To all my viewers out there, go watch Kara no Kyoukai right now!! Tell me what you think of the anime or if you have a better anime in mind by leaving your comment(s) here. Bye!
