In short. Ufotable made up their own version of oblivion recorder. The movie only semi resembles the original.

Given how vital some details are I hope:
a: they include it in the finale (it could use some bulking up anyway)
b: Del Rey hurry their ass up with the books -_-

(Shiki screams but can’t do anything as Satsuki returns her memories. She’s has issues with her memories but hanging around Mikiya appears to cure that)

From what I gathered, Satsuki had been asked by Araya to help re-awaken Shiki’s lost memories, which were holding back his progress for some reason (I know a few spoilers about it, but not enough to get it). Araya had already died by the time Satsuki got there, but he fooled around to draw Shiki in and did his job anyway (getting her to realize that her missing memories still exist).

I’m expecting this to have big effects in the 7th movie.

Enjoyed the movie but I’m also really confused about the Shiki / Satsuki fight… does the novel explain what happened? The cut to Azaka in the middle of the fight and then seemingly skipping it was vexing.

Also wish Azaka had more opportunities to show off her magic.

Heh good production values can make any fight scene good. Azaka sure has flashy effects.
The God’s word Mayday part seemed to be too short and lacking in explanation. I had a little trouble understanding his role fully. Why was he causing trouble in the school anyway? Because Araya told him? I was also confused by the abrupt ending of the Shiki vs God’s Word confrontation. How did it end? Did he just retreat after saying some nonsensical words?
Shiki’s role was a bit lacking in this too. I thought she’d play a bigger role in finding out about the faeries with her eyes, or something. But she ended up being a cabinet opener haha. Although Shiki should have stuck the knife she liked into her robo-doll arm for good measure.
Well I really liked the Fujino cameo at the start too.

Hmmm… I enjoyed it as much as any of the others, but I can’t shake the feeling it needed some smoothing over and more introduction to the scenario.

Yeah, I agree, the main issue I had is how wedged-in the Satsuki part felt – you could completely cut it out and the plot would barely be impacted, it really didn’t seem connected to the rest.

Heh, was I the only one who thought that scene with Azaka running then more-or-less falling/stumbling down the church seats was great?

Felt largely blegh about this one. Everything that bothers me most about KnK is in here – siscons, Azaka(lots and lots of Azaka), Misaya, those horrendous uniforms – and very little of the stuff I actually enjoyed from the novel. But as you said, Paradox Spiral is a damn tough act to follow, and I imagine the next act’ll be significantly better. On the plus side of course, everything was smooth, the actors gave everything their all, and of course the action was fun.

Seriously, though. Am I the only one who finds those uniforms as flattering as religious-flavor burlap sacks? Gaaaah.

Thanks for the quick summary! Couldn’t resist and watched it raw. I also felt that Satsuki just seemed to be a random background character, and I didn’t really get the “problem” of the story which needed to be solved.

Maybe I just need to watch it a couple more times with subs to fully appreciate it like I did with the other movies.

Still, I was fully expecting the moe-fest, with Nana Mizuki playing Misaya. And I guess it was for budgetary reasons why they had to make this one only an hour long, but it would’ve been nice if they made it 2 hours like they did with Paradox Spiral.

Can’t wait for …not nothing heart.
