Garden of Sinners

This`ll be short since I just finished it. I'll probably do a proper review once I rewatch it. Anyway,I watched the first two movies and then took a huuuuuge break between the 2nd and 3rd because my friend told me to finish mahoyo first, which I did many months later and then proceeded to continue watching. I like KnK. I enjoyed the relationship between Mikiya and Ryougi and how he sort of keeps her grounded in a way, as we see in the last film. I also find the reoccuring pattern of, girl with crazy power paired with relatively average guy that Type Moon seems to like.
The music is great and the main leitmotif for Ryougi's theme really grew on me as I continued watching. Animation is absolutely stellar given the time it came out. It is waaaaaaay ahead of its time in that regard and could have come out today without looking dated.
Out of all the 7 movies, movie 5 is defnitely my favourite. Just everything about it is so darn good. Seeing Tomoe figure out and eventually come to terms with the fact that he and his family have been dead for months and that he himself, as we see him in the movie, is effectively just a puppet that happened to break out of the cycle and even then, that was intended by Souren anyway but STILL after all that is thrown at him, even as he dies in vain, to be blunt, in the end he does it for himself and believes in his actions with own autonomy. But yeah, with movie 5 in particular I really enjoyed piecing together what was going on and it maaaaaaaaybe had the best action but I would tie it with 7. It was a bit weird seeing Touko again too, after Mahoyo. I'm glad she's doing alright I suppose.
