"If it is alive, even if it is a God, I can kill it."
This is the story about a girl who unwillingly obtains the ability to see "death lines" - the seams of life - in all creation.
Her name is Ryogi Shiki. In the beginning, she accepts the state imposed on her indifferently. However, the moment she questions her life, she ironically falls into a coma for two years.
When she comes to, she finds that the world had changed… Or rather, the change is in herself.
So, wielding a shining knife, hunting monsters living on the borders of the normal and abnormal worlds becomes her only purpose to live… All the while knowing that there is someone keeping an eye on her.

Similar to Tsukihime? Of course.
This is Nasu Kinoko's first work, before Tsukihime and Fate/stay night. Originally, it was a novel series, and the universe of Kara no Kyoukai evolved into the same one as Tsukihime, including a link between two characters.
The anime is an adaptation, and rather than an anime per se, it's more cinematic. Each of the seven episodes is a good hour long, and the time that went into it shows.
The animation is stunning at times, making use of some obvious CG work. The music is also good.
Though like Tsukihime, the story is convoluted and might not make sense till the very last episode, or require a re-watch. It's still worth trying out, especially if you're a fan of TYPE-MOON's work.
