| Created by Type-Moon founders Nasu Kinoko and illustrator Takeuchi Takashi, The Garden of Sinners (a.k.a. Kara no Kyoukai) started out in 1998 as an internet light novel. The supernatural fantasy attracted a huge online following and eventually made it to print form, selling over 500,000 copies. Set in the same world as Type-Moon's Tsukihime, The Garden of Sinners revolves around the investigation of paranormal incidents by the trio of sorceress and detective agency proprietor Aozaki Tohko, her assistant Kokuto Mikiya, and Ryogi Shiki, a detached teenage girl with the ability to see and kill death.
Starting in 2007, The Garden of Sinners began its life on the big screen as a seven-chapter animated film series with animation by ufotable, the studio behind the Tales of Symphonia OVA. Directed by Aoki Ei, the first chapter, Fukan Fukei ("The View From Above"), hit theaters on December 1, 2007. The series kicks off with the mysterious occurrence of high school girls suddenly jumping to their death from tall buildings. There are no indications of murder and yet no reasons for suicide. Tohko and Shiki muse that the view from above, being too close to the other world, can do strange things to your mind. Especially interested in the case, Mikiya investigates on his own, but he too gets drawn too close to the skies.
