story

"Kara no Kyoukai: Panoramic View 3D" is based on the fifth chapter of the original novel, "The Spiral of Contradiction." The story follows the protagonists, Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Mikiya, as they investigate the mystery of a series of murders and come to terms with their own existence and destiny. In particular, this work makes use of 3D images to successfully visually express Ryougi Shiki's "Demon Eyes of Death Perception."

The story centers around a phenomenon called "bird's-eye view" that Ryougi Shiki faces. This is her attempt to understand the truth of the world by contemplating her own death, and visual expression plays a vital role in this. The 3D images allow the audience to experience this "bird's-eye view," leading to a deeper understanding of the work's theme.

character

Ryougi Shiki: The main character, a girl with the mystic eyes of death perception. Her inner conflict and growth are at the center of the story. The 3D visuals allow you to see the world from her perspective, making her emotions and thoughts feel even more real.

Mikiya Kokuto: A friend of Ryougi Shiki and a supporter of her actions. From his calm and rational perspective, he is able to understand Ryougi Shiki's actions and the abnormality of the world. His presence eases Ryougi Shiki's sense of loneliness and adds depth to the story.

Kyotaro Tachibana: The perpetrator of the serial murders and the person who stands in the way of Ryougi Shiki. His presence is what triggers Ryougi Shiki's "demon eye of death perception" and "bird's-eye view". His character setting and acting heighten the tension of the story.

Visuals and Music

The most attractive feature of this work is ufotable's beautiful 3D visuals. In particular, the depiction of the world seen through Ryougi Shiki's "Dysfunction of Death Perception" has a strong visual impact and the power to draw the audience in. The 3D visuals also allow the audience to see the world from Ryougi Shiki's point of view, making her emotions and thoughts feel even more real.

Music is also an important element in enhancing the atmosphere of the story. Yuki Kajiura's music effectively expresses the inner conflict of Ryougi Shiki and the tension of the story. In particular, the music during the battle scenes, combined with the visual expression, leaves a strong impression on the audience.

Directed and produced

Director Ei Aoki has faithfully recreated the themes of the original work while also experimenting with new expressions using 3D images. His direction effectively conveys the inner conflict of Ryougi Shiki and the tension of the story. The production team at ufotable has also taken on technical challenges in order to realize beautiful 3D images. The result is a visually impactful film that draws the audience in.
