Kyoukai no kanata

The first 9 episodes are great, they setup what appears to be a really intriguing plot, with a lot of mysteries that you're really looking forward to see what happens.

And then, disappoinment comes, you're left with more questions than answers, what unfolds barely makes sense, feels rushed and is uninspired.

It's the kind of ending that makes you frustrated, like a broken promise, you've got to grieve the loss of what you were hoping for and accept that when all is said and done, it was an incoherent story, that didn't hold in the end, even though it appeared to have a great premise and setup a series of event that would lead to some epic ending.

It's really too bad, because I still think the first 9 episodes are great, and that's why I'm still giving it a 7, since 9 out of 12 episodes I really enjoyed, just know that it'll leave you disappointed in the end, so be ready for that.

In a world where supernatural beings dwell among humans, young high school student Akihito Kanbara leads a pretty normal life by his standards. Because even if he looks like a human being at first glance, he too belongs in the world of the supernatural. Akihito is a half youmu, a being that grants him the ability to regenerate wounds so quickly that he is immortal. One day he sees that a young girl is about to throw herself off the school roof. But he successfully stops her and ends up in a dangerous situation. Because Mirai Kuriyama belongs to the bloodbenders, a very rare class of the spirit world who are hated and persecuted by other supernatural beings. So Akihito gets into this fight by rescuing Mirai and tries to protect her from then on.

I really liked "Beyond the Boundary".

It's not necessarily something new, but the relationships between the individual characters are very well managed, the characters are written quite well with a few exceptions, and the animation is also very well done.

This is so sad and beautiful that words cannot describe it, but emotions can. It's so emotional, like Violet Evergarden. I'm literally crying while writing this review, because I just finished the show 2 minutes ago.

This is the most tragic and beautiful anime I've ever watched, despite Fruits Basket being my 1st for such a long time... At first, I thought it's some stupid cringe romance and fighting, because Mirai was such an annoying girl and Akihito & Hiroomi are weirdos that are obsessed with cute girls wearing glasses, but I was completely fooled.

Some shows start out as a cringe comedy, but it starts to get darker and darker.

The last episode and the movie (future) was so emotional and tragic.

This show was so dark because of the blood and cruelty that makes you want to burst out tears because of the realisation of twisted humanity.

I recommend this show for people who are okay with blood and gore and dark fantasy.

I'm normally a little more liberal with my ratings. The animation in this show is great, and the action/fight sequences are top notch. That's why I wanted to give it 10, but..the story was a little too rushed, I never really felt emotionally attached to the characters or their stories, it was a more superficial feeling of connection. You ever watched something and thought "the writing isn't really bad or anything but for some reason it just feels a little wonky or off"? That's how I felt with this show. I make it sound like this show isn't worth watching with my semi harsh critics, but I def think this is something you should watch if you're into supernatural shonen drama. Love y'all, here's a hug 🤗
