Kyoukai no Kanata. The very name conjures cryptic mystery and fantastical wonder. The world is divided into humans, and youmu. Here's my personal review of this fast, strange experience.
Story: 7/10
The concept of humans and monsters struggling for control in the same world is not unseen. In fact, it's used extremely often. Kyoukai no Kanata is no stranger to this tradition. Touting a common concept and developing from it, Kyoukai takes us on a somewhat unique look towards a familiar yarn - losing some charm in the process.
Art: 10/10
Kyoto Animation's animation and art are not to be trifled with. Known for masterful eye-candy such as Free!,
...
Chuunibyou, K-ON and Haruhi, KyoAni has brought us another breathtaking piece of animated wizardry. The story may be overused, but watching this for the art is more than worth it.
Sound: 9/10
As with KyoAni's god par animation, sound is also extremely well done, captivating your ears for more than just twelve episodes. Not once, not twice, not thrice, but ten times have I attained eargasms.
Character: 8/10
Mirai is just adorable. There's no doubt about that. Akkey may be your average, sacrificial main character, but he's nothing compared to Hiroomi and his adorable imouto.
Enjoyment: 8/10
Most of the time I would watch this show for the animation. The animation, the animation, everything about it rocked my balls off. Once or twice, I got excited about the story, but this was a very enjoyable anime.
Overall: 8/10
Not your best monsters vs. humans anime, but the animation, sound, character and raw action take it away. Recommended to anyone who likes anything animated.
