Let’s talk about “The Garden of Sinners” watch order. Kara No Kyoukai, also known as “The Garden of Sinners,” is a dark anime with a unique role of hope and light amidst the darkness. To add to the uniqueness, unlike other series, this anime is a movie series. Yes, the anime is not made into a series of 12 episodes with different seasons, rather it’s a series of movies. This way, the audience can connect and reflect better on the events that take place.
The overarching theme of the anime is action, mystery, supernatural, and thriller, but when delved deep, the anime seems very thought-provoking and introspective. It is the kind of anime that will make you think about your own actions and morals. The story is set in a parallel universe when disturbing events start taking over Japan in 1998. After a little investigation, there are found some connections between all the cases. The series follows the investigation of the cases as the mystery unfolds.
The light novel was written by Kinoko Nasu and later illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi. The studio that made the anime was Ufotable. Other notable animes from the same studio are Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, God Eater, Fate/Zero, etc.
