While the first Kara no Kyoukai movie sets up the series, the second film is where you really get an idea of what it's going to be like. It's primarily a character study, but it also introduces one of the major mysteries of the series. Mikaya was mostly missing in action in the last movie, but he gets plenty of focus here, and his scenes help give perspective to many of the moments that came before.
At times, the pacing can be so slow that you might wonder if you accidentally hit the pause button. Enormous amounts of time are dedicated to small, simple scenes. For some, the gorgeous scenery might be enough to keep them interested, but some folks will probably be bored. Just keep in mind that some of these little moments pay off later on.
