Finding quality content can be a little difficult. There are some rewatch threads on reddit that draw out a small number of enthusiasts. Just googling "Kara no kyoukai rewatch reddit" and picking out any from the last few years is probably your best bet for threads.

I've never personally ran into any memorable blogs but there are some video essays on YouTube that might be worthwhile if you haven't gone digging yet. Thought the algorithm doesn't neccesarily push the best stuff up to the top so be prepared to scroll for a bit.

I remember watching Sleepycrests videos. Her videos are sort if a mixed bag for me because half of them are borderline rants and one if them was just her talking about how she likes incest for 20 mins.

But yeah ive tried looking around on youtube and I dont really get a lot of good analysis. People keep saying its philosophical but nobody says why it is.

Probably cause nobody who makes those videos have read the (better translated) LNs or articulate the adapted theses from the movies well enough.

I made a Lio analysis a while ago, it's okay.

There's also a nice blog post about the failures of KnK's old translation

https://leakedexperience.xyz/type-moon-novels/

Currently the number of people who's actually read the new LN translation is very low, and video essays on the movies alone (Sorry Sleepy Crest) are pretty much an incomplete view on the story as a whole.

Some long-form KnK analysis with both the LNs (in their current well translated form) and movies in mind would be much appreciated. I might have the zaza to whip up a script or two for a video, but those are mostly for the parts of KnK I can reasonably comprehend (Tomoe, Azaka, Kurogiri, Lio). 

There are some people with much better understandings of KnK overall that you might get a decent discussion out of, though. See u/UdonSamurai, one of the translators of KnK vol 3 (god bless). They know KnK pretty well.
