The final episode of this series possesses a grandiose aura, offering a last enthralling mystery, followed by a lovely emotional wrap-up, however admittedly it didn't meet all my expectations in the end. As a whole, the tone of this episode felt quite different, maybe partially due to the artstyle change, but the entire presentation has a peculiar vibe, feeling very grand and ethereal on one hand, but also more tame and almost censored - which by itself isn't necessarily negative but unusual compared to the previous parts. I highly enjoyed the premise; the new case captivated me, especially in company with the exquisite art, and I got invested in the new characters. This story felt incredibly beautiful and artistic, the atmosphere is a combination of horrid, gentle and nearly magical at parts, with ornate prose and immaculate art and music. I found it interesting how the writing explicitly delves into the story's core themes (mainly obsession and relationships) and provides perspectives for various characters in this regard. While I can definitely praise the writing for its usual complex multilayered story and great characters, some decisions certainly disappointed me. Sadly upon finishing all content, I didn't receive that satisfying feeling where everything feels fully revealed and consummated. I mainly dislike the "lack of balance", how the pacing has certain focus points it nearly drags out too much and seems to neglect other elements. For example, certain character(s) got very relevant, although their story could've gotten concluded in the first episode already, or others that at least got an elaborate conclusion at all - while some other old characters seemingly stopped existing, and several new characters got filled with potential and intrigue, but then just abruptly went out of picture without getting any interesting plot relevance or development. Additionally, it felt like the author forced new ideas into a few characterizations while disregarding the lack of prior build-up, making certain actions/motives feel rather unprompted. Lastly, certain unfinished plotlines and relationships (partially even from the previous part) just didn't get expanded or developed at all, leaving too much up to interpretation than I'd like. Ironically, I don't think that most of those negatives are objectively bad, but the series has simply set very high expectations for me, hence I'm dramatic about every minor imperfection I perceived lol. Aside my aforementioned gripes however, I really loved this experience and this series will definitely remain as one of the most memorable VNs I've read so far! ૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა♡︎
Words can not describe what emotions I experienced from this part and especially from whole story. First of all, when got into the 1st part, I loved it immideately, the osts, characters and art especially are magnificent. However, I had some problems with it being an eroge, but whatever. 2nd part of Kara no shoujo, was a massive upgrade almost in every aspect of it, new characters, more depth and less of things that were not necessary. Finally, let's proceed to this magnificent, amazingly written story. I doubt I will mention every feeling i went through, there were just too many. The first thing I loved here, that it felt so real, precisely the dynamics between characters. Before this part, there were stuff that was made purely for "fan-service" (it' s an eroge, nevertheless). This was an exception, it was perfect, down to the last thing, nothing superfluous was added and I'm very grateful for that. In addition, I would like to mention how every scene in "Moon world" made me feel ethereal, there aren't enough words in my vocabulary to describe this. Every scene felt like it happened to me, I could every single emotion that those characters went through, like I was the part of the ship, simply wow. In the end, game really introduces new ways of seeing this world. Almost every single character went through a lot of things in their lives, some of them you can not wish to your swon enemy and I like the narrative where it says that to gain something, we first have to go through difficult times, only after that we can appreciate everything we have, otherwise "Emptiness" is the only feeling that lives. 私を探して。本当の私を。
This is arguably the best trilogy in the visual novel genre. The quality keeps increasing after each title, even though my favorite one is still the second game, but the third game improves on so much like art and music, and it gives a satisfying conclusion to Reiji's story, the man deserves some peace and happiness. I highly recommend this trilogy for people who are into murder mysteries and emotional stories.
Kara no Shoujo 3, the stunning, torturously good conclusion to one of the most uniquely compelling stories out there. Like a twisted obsession, much like Reiji and many of the other afflicted characters, It was almost impossible to stop reading. To see the fruit of the massive buildup in this series, presented so spectacularly in this game, was one of the greatest joys for me. You can finally see the entire picture, no longer obscured by things you don't know; A series that managed to tear my heart in half and crush it brutally underfoot in the last game, and did it again just as well, is a undeniably an impressive one. No one knows what they could possibly be getting into with the KnS series, and that's the way it should be. No amount of writing can convey my love for this series, and it certainly can't tell anyone how incredible it is. Kara no Shoujo is the grandmaster of toying with your feelings. It rips and tears your soul apart, patches in back up, and ruthlessly shatters it again. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why it's so captivating... but I can't help but appreciate how a perfect medley of song, sound and sights make the emotionally important scenes that much better; From seeing unspeakably gruesome murders to the most idyllic scenes, there is a wonderful balance here. KnS3 and its other games have great pacing, and it keeps you and your screen inseparable. To be completely honest, it made me feel things I've never felt from other games. It's really worth seeing something for yourself. At first, I wasn't used to seeing Sugina Miki's new art, but soon enough, it almost immediately felt just right. You're not shortchanged in the slightest with art in this game, since it has almost 10 full pages of CGs, and another fantastic soundtrack with some fancy vocal songs composed by MANYO. It really is a high quality game, one that broke and fixed me all at once, and I urge you to try the series for yourself, as it left me in complete peace and contentment.
