Synopsis

During Koyomi Araragi's second year at Naoetsu Private High School, he has a chance encounter with Tsubasa Hanekawa, the top honor student in his class. When they strike up a conversation, Hanekawa mentions a shocking rumor: a vampire with beautiful blonde hair and freezing cold eyes has been seen lurking around town.

Happy to have made a new friend, Araragi writes off the rumor and goes about the rest of his evening in a carefree manner. However, on his way home, he stumbles across splatters of blood leading down the stairs to the subway. His curiosity pushes him to investigate further, so he follows the gruesome pools into the depths of the station.

When he arrives at the source of the blood, he is terrified by what he sees—the rumored blonde vampire herself, completely dismembered. After she calls for his help, Araragi must make a decision, one which carries the potential to change his life forever.

As an anime only starting the monogatari path. I was amazed by bakemonogatari but the magic I saw in bakemonogatari wasn't really here. I think the main issue is pacing without a doubt. The story is intriguing without a doubt but it only starts to get told towards the last 15 minutes. I enjoy the storytelling method of using quick flashes of text as well as animation to tell the story as opposed to simply dialogue, but it was just too slow this time around. I enjoy the careful pacing but this wasn't it for me. Regardless, the movie does many things well, the sound ...

Where do I even start dissecting this? The problem isn't that there is too much to say, it's that there isn't enough. For the hour that this movie lasted, there's maybe about 10 minutes of worthwhile content, all scattered in the second half. So, the first Kizumonogatari, as all prequels do, give a good deal of insight on one of 778's most famous works.

Sorry, the parallels were just so obvious I had to make the joke. But every masterpiece has its cheap copy, and the Yupiel doujin is no exception. With Shaft doing as it does with this anime and ...

Monogatari series were a great example of how to properly adapt a wall of text into degenerative cartoons. While still being "tell, don't show" — like a text — it made up for it with awesome background, awesome music and just the right amount of artsy shit like the slideshow, the camera angles, the architecture of protag's bathroom.

Kizumonogatari grabs this well-working formula and throws it out of the window. The music is loud and distracting, all the character reactions and actions are theatrical and unnatural, everything's very dragged out, very pretentious and very confusing since the inner monologue is cut completely and only the bare ...
