Kizumonogatari Koyomi Vamp is a three-film anime adaptation comprising edited footage from the trilogy of films of the same name previously released in 2016 and 2017 featuring animation produced by Shaft. The film will only be available in Japanese with English subtitles.
On July 27, Kizumonogatari Koyomi Vamp held its North American premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival as part of the Animation Plus Section, drawing in a large crowd of anime enthusiasts eager to experience the latest installment in the beloved series.
Kizumonogatari Koyomi Vamp centers around a high school student named Koyomi Araragi, who survives an encounter with a gorgeous yet helpless vampire, Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
It was one fateful evening when Koyomi Araragi encountered her – Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade: Legendary Vampire, Killer of Apparitions, and King of Apparitions. Her legs and arms were cruelly torn apart, her extravagant dress soaked in red; she’s a monster who finds herself in a tragic state, lying in a pool of her own blood. However, Koyomi finds her to be beautiful this way.
Written by Nisioisin and animated by Shaft, Kizumonogatari Koyomi Vamp takes you back to the beginning, the origin of the Monogatari story. Originally released as three separate movies, the upcoming film installment summarizes the Kizumonogatari trilogy and can be seen exclusively in theatres.
