| This was really great. Heart-under-blade and Hanekawa were hella sexy and those fight scenes had my full undivided attention. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Without doubts, the best film/episode of all the saga...Action, more action, love and sensuality in a episode when Araragi endly his humanity for saves Hanekawa!!! |
| It was epic when Araragi went all out in the final scene. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Goddamn. Goddamn. Goddamn. This is like a thousand times better than the first, but the first one is still great. Jesus. Loved how Hanekawa knows that Araragi is not that kind of person who'll say that. I honestly loved her more throughout this movie and I sincerely wanted to ship Araragi with her because ohmygod Hanekawa, my best girl. ;-; You can see how hurt she was when Araragi said that, but glad she's so fucking intelligent that yeah she knows that's not really Araragi talking. Now, let's talk about the first fight scene with Dramaturgy. I wasn't expecting that it will end like that, but Araragi learning how to play baseball made sense. Pfffft. He's so ridiculous. Jesus Christ. Apparently, Dramaturgy is a vampire who gets rid of vampires. The fact that he gave up because he realized how fucked he is with Araragi having Kiss-Shot's powers. Goddamn. Araragi throwing baseballs at him made him realize that. I'm dyiiing. Apparently, when it comes to other vampires who are not like Kiss-Shot and Araragi, they can't recover instantly which explains Araragi's arms growing instantly. Goddamn. And the whole fight was witnessed by Hanekawa. When Araragi asked her to show him her panties, she fucking obliged. I'm dyiing at Araragi's reaction. Hahaha. THIS FUCKING FACE. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Y SO CUTE!?! WAAAH.  Hanekawa met Kiss-Shot and she brought Araragi his clothes (even his underwear) and goddamn Araragi that body then Hanekawa touching his body. Fuck fuck fuck! That scene was too much. Jesus Christ.   I honestly prefer this look of Araragi. I'm too weak. Hahaha! It's illegal to be this handsome, maaan. Who gave you the right? Lmfao.   Almost forgot about the lewd mag Araragi bought after having a boner when he saw Hanekawa's pantsu. Hahaha. At least, Hanekawa knows she turns Araragi on. Pfffft. Second fight with Episode (Hello, Irino-kun!), I literally screamed when he threw his big-ass cross at Hanekawa. Godfuckingdamn. I almost cried because I just love Hanekawa so much. She came there to help Araragi and seeing her dead was just too much. Fucking Kamiyan did a great job throughout that scene until Oshino arrived to calm him down. Without Hanekawa, there's no way Araragi will win against Episode. Hanekawa was healed by Araragi after Oshino told him that he can cure someone. Idk how many times I replayed that scene. It was so great. When Araragi was trying to take back her intestines in her stomach, maaan. This scene is so cute, alright. ;-;  Hanekawa is A-OK and omfg that scene in the grass while them two are chasing each other was so cute. ;-; I ship these two so much now. Waaah. B-but when Hanekawa gave Araragi her pantsu I freaking lost it. Hahahaha! I can't even. There's no way Araragi will give it back to you, Hanekawa. I wonder if he's still keeping it until Owari's time setting. Pffft. Tbh, I honestly felt Araragi's love for Hanekawa, and Hanekawa's love for Araragi throughout that scene, and it's making me melt. Waaaaah. ;-; So, this movie ended with Guillotinecutter abducted Hanekawa while she's on her way home (though it wasn't shown, but I bet it happened after Hanekawa said goodbye to Araragi). And Oshino told that Araragi has no choice but to lose his humanity to defeat Guillotinecutter. Goddamn, what the fuck is that arm of his? Jesus. The animation throughout that fight is goddamn. Guillotinecutter didn't manage to move. Damn. Araragi, slaaay! The whole movie is a masterpiece. I just wanna cry. I've watched a few anime before this which disappointed the fuck outta me, but this anime just goddamn saved anime for me. Lmao. 10/10 for this fucker! Ugh. <3 |

| First movie was alright, this movie though....straight garbage. What is even the point of Hanekawa in this arc? Fan service. And she was the focal point for the bulk of this film. For the vamp arc, I was expecting more Shinobu and less feeling like I'm just rewatching Neko. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... I know that I'm definitely not a fan of Hanekawa now.... What a bore. 6/10 |
| Absolutely fantastic! I wish they did all of the monogatari series in the same animation quality as this, but i guess we can't get nice things all the time heheheh. Shino- i mean, Kiss-shot fan service scenes were good, comedy hit the mark, and the storytelling was great. I'm giving this a 10, one of the best things i have seen. |
| Man Araragi looks so hot ni Kizu that it's gonna be the end of me. Almost felt like licking the screen lol xD And Hanekawa is so SO freakin' CUTE!! OMGGG THAT CAT FACE :3 Why are they both so perfect in these movies... Btw I still don't understand how could Araragi choose Senjougahara over Hanekawa |
 |
| this was way better than the first part.. this is more of what i had expected from the kizumonogatari movies. More intense action and drama.. Still not the biggest fan of this edgy art style. The zero shading works superb for fluid motion and thats totally fine, but all of the characters just look so much more edgy, i miss my normal hanekawa and araragi. Glad they toned down the cgi a bit. I would still prefer a all out budget movie production with sexy background animation. We had a tiny bit of background animation but it wasn't that satisfying. music was good, kiss-shot's teen form in that dress is absolutely gorgeous. Would have been an 8/10 if the last fight wasn't so underwhelming. Also the scene between Araragi and Hanekawa on the wheat field or whatever was hella long. The preview for the third part sounded intense, i have high expectations for the finally! |

| Own, Hanekawa is so kawaii in this trilogy... It's getting better and better, for sure... 10/10 |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| I was speechless after watching this movie. It really makes you wonder how the heck did Senjougahara won over Hanekawa? I mean sure in Bakemonogatari Senjougahara was superior and I really like her to be with Araragi but these recent prequels have made things hard. It's almost as if Hanekawa deserved to win more. 9/10 |
| Recommend me an anime |
| A little disappointed with how the fights turned out, but overall it was much better than the first movie. |
 |
| Much better than the first movie. Hanekawa's role in the movie is amazing. Besides the wonderful animation, every fight make sense. It seems that Araragi is very strong due to Kiss-Shot. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| "I dont want my soul to become tainted" - Sorry to say Araragi but future you disagrees :D Whelp, there goes his entire arm Damn, the whole action scene with Dramaturgy was epic! Gotta love the 2001: Soace Odessey reference. Lmao Shinobu eating her own leg with her heels still on. I'm glad they explained the whole thing about why Shinobu's leg disnt disappear and why she couldnt regenerate etc. And here we see Ararararagi's loli fetish start, Shinobu after wating her leg. Lmao, the whole scene with Araragi changing clothes ... Hanekawa just watching and touching ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Oh god, that scene with Shinobu reaching into her brain ... O_O The scene with Hanekawa was frightening ... absolutely brutal. Nice seeing him get back to her and heal her. Shinobu's transformations ... DAMN! Araragi's reaction to Hanekawa giving her panties to him was the same I had lol Damn even better than the previous movie, the fights were awesome, the dialogue was great and just all around great movie. Curiouis to see what they'll bring us with the final movie. 10/10 |
 |
| I must say Araragi was pretty dumb to not notice that Tsubasa likes him. Even here Tsubasa already failed at her virtuous act. Dat Episode Laughing scene. If it doesn't scare you it sure will make you laugh. Tsubasa should have been dead when her stomach is severed by the cross and her intestines coming out from her. So it's easier for Tsubasa to give her panties than let Araragi grope her? lol. So the fight with Gulliotine Cutter just ended like that? Pretty dissapointing. While Dramaturgy and Episode put up a better fight than him. I know, Araragi powered up and all but GC could at least dodge some of the attack. And he should have killed Tsubasa if Araragi decide to attack him. I still don't get why Araragi see Tsubasa as his savior. Well, if you're talking about his sexual frustation then, yes. By the sound of the preview, I guess Araragi will fight KSAOHUB next. tr25a3 said: "You owe her your life. Learn some gratitude." Why does Oshino say that when it was the other way around? When did she save his life? When she dragged him to the cramschool to do who knows what with him? Or the infinite burning loop, where he simply would have had to endure it until the sun went down? And for whatever reason, he was fine with sacrificing himself dying. He even blamed himself for what happened to her. Agreed. It's a must that KSAOHUB save him, otherwise she's just a douchebag. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Why are these movies getting so good... This 60-minute movie felt like it lasted maybe ten, fifteen minutes. It was fantastic. The animation quality was absolutely god tier, as was the soundtrack, direction, and pacing. The characters felt just as alive as they always do, and I was either laughing my ass off or on the edge of my seat the entire movie. Fucking amazing. I love how I thought I knew exactly how this movie was going to go from the last movie's preview, yet it still constantly surprised me, especially with Oshino telling Araragi to give up on being a human. The preview makes the next movie look like a blast, so I'm pretty pumped. Also "Araragi, please massage my braless breasts." I need context for this. |

| I never thought I'd say this but Araragi is fucking ripped when he takes off his shirt when Hanekawa brings a change of clothes. |
 |
| Great movie. Way better than the first. The CGI is toned down to a manageable level, the fights were impressive and the witty dialogue is back. Araragi’s relationship with Hanekawa deepens and her infatuation for him is obvious (only to be crushed in Bake and Neko Shiro, though. But it’s fine) Also, did you notice that Araragi doesn’t have a reflection?  |
 |
| Man Araragi just gets better with each new release of the monogatari series, he truly is one of my favorite anime characters of all time |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I still can't fucking believe Araragi chose Senjougahara over Hanekawa. They both have the greatest chemistry I've seen in most couples in anime. Hanekawa is so damn perfect. While Senjougahara has so many defects. In this movie, Araragi said something like Hanekawa being so perfect scared him and made him uncomfortable. Your damn loss Araragi. |
| I'm starting to worry that liking Hanekawa is a prerequisite for liking the rest of the Monogatari series .... I mean, I don't even dislike her, but she's the least interesting girl in Bake and is used pretty horribly here. |
| observing a woman's body |
| This movie was more amazing, in my opinion, than the prequel. As we know it's the continuation of the previous story, but the visualization, art, OSTs. The 2nd pantsu show was funny, because they used 2001: A Space of Odyssey as a reference. Just how the earth and solar system was created, aka. life, this is may have been symbolism for how the appearance of pantsu gave life to Araragi . The use of gore scenes was really brutal. Damn, long time I have seen an anime where everything spills out after being cut in the abdomen . Even seeing the intestine flowing out of her body. No wonder, I found the visualization amazing. This is definitely not an anime for kids or anyone under the age of 15. Amazing transformations Shinbou Oshino had. From loli to teen to a young adult. Her body became just more and more sexy. She need another limb to turn into the hot MILF we saw in the beginning of her entrance. Poor Araragi, seems like he understood that he had to give up on his humanity. Next movie, Araragi vs. Oshino. Looks like it's gonna be the fight we saw in the beginning of Bakemonogatari. Can't wait! xD |

TsukuyomiREKT said: Shinji said: the only good thing about this film was the 2001: a space odyssey reference pure said: was more talking about the fights than the actual plot. the fights through out the series/part two seem rushed and anticlimactic also it was unrealistic to me for araragi to defeat them so quickly. hence the rushed i've never read the novel nor plan to. it just seems like a shit adaptation to me You both should try actually watching the series in the correct order. I watch it in the recommended order (see my signature link) and I got to say it's quite enjoyable. Since I am newbie to this series, I think I did the correct decision to watch it between Bake and Nise. :) |
| |
I didn't notice, but thanks I guess. If I am not wrong vampires doesn't have a shadow/reflection, so that may be why. |
| |
| Hanekawa constantly showing up out of nowhere is pretty annoying/convenient. She's trying real hard to get that D. |
 |
| This one surpassed the previous film in every way for me. It felt like the quintessential monogatari series film. The quirky animation, the word play, the humor, the psychological games, all of it was there and woven together so beautifully. Being the second entry in a trilogy, it didn't pack the emotional punch I personally require for a 10/10, but it was damn near close. |
 |
| Hanekawa is quite interested in Araragi, it seems.. With ;3 face a lot of time.. Guess, she likes compliments of being smart and knowing things.. But still feels a bit odd, why she likes him, when he's just trying to ditch her in the moment.. Perhaps she has some kind of memory of him or something.. It's a bit strange, if she liked him only because he saw her panties.. I mean.. Is she into exhibitionism?.. It doesn't seem so?.. Though, what do I know.. Haven't seen any series, only Kizumonogatari first movie, not other Gataris.. Well, in the end he even rejected her.. Well, after talk about vampires, though.. Maybe it got him angry.. Maybe he wanted to protect Hanekawa like that by making her stay away from him.. Who knows.. To Hanekawa it certainly must have looked very strange, though.. First of all quite hurtful, though.. Hanekawa was very persistent to still be together with Araragi.. Be it like a pair or friends, or something.. Hanekawa really is doing a lot in this relationship.. I don't feel that Araragi does.. Though, he tried to reject her for her own sake.. But he'd also better start being warm person as well.. ;p I like second movie much more than first one so far, by the way.. Maybe Hanekawa got more time, so I better start feeling her as a character.. As well as Araragi did more things.. Mainly that controversial rejection of Hanekawa, which more portrays him maybe in positive light rather than negative.. Well, Hanekawa can be lewd sometimes.. Touching body and stuff.. But she doesn't look like a whore or something.. As well as she said herself, that she hasn't touched other boys' bodies.. She is only interested in Araragi, it seems.. Lucky guy.. ;p I mean, she's smart, dedicated, at times lewd, funny, cute - what more you need for waifu material?.. ;p I don't have waifus personally, though.. But she's a good pair for many men, probably.. It'll be hard for me, probably, to see other girls as waifus for Araragi, knowing the harem nature of anime.. Now that seeing how nice of a girlfriend/wife Hanekawa would be really.. ;p Did Hanekawa die?.. Damn.. Sad.. Glad that she's back.. But.. I'm not a fan really with their relationship not progressing further.. It seems like they're deciding to remain friends.. Close, but just friends.. I think it's done with idea that series would have even more waifus, who would get together with Araragi even more.. The essence of harem without really any romantic dedication.. But in the end, it's quite frustrating, really.. It's like relationship is a bit unrealistic.. And it is unrealistic, because lewd things were involved as well.. It's not like they're close only on platonic level or something.. It's just for the sake of harem sake, this lewd side is being unrealistic, really.. If Hanekawa was saved once, though.. Why wouldn't she be saved if that kidnapper would kill her?.. I mean, if it's not blood, but air.. Eh.. I'm pretty sure she was dead for some time, and it means without air as well for some time, when she got revived earlier in the episode.. It's just plot hole.. Not that it matters really much, though.. Overall, it was a great movie.. I really like Hanekawa after this, and this is enough for me, really.. She's just too good.. ;P |
| holy shit there was a TON to digest this time around. Ok, we've gotten around to the fighting parts! Now all the dialogue "this is your quest" things are over, time for the action to be rolled out. Personally the fights were very brutal and i liked all of them overall. Incredibly happy we are really shown a full powered Araragi, going all out, limit cap taken off, no shits at all really showing off what it's meant to be Kiss-Shots Kin. Dramaturgie's fight was great, gave us a preview i guess at what abilities Araragi has and i think my favourite fight of the 3 with the ending being very honourable and just. Right, i aignt gay, but OOooOoOOoH Araragi being fucking ripped af thanks to vampire conversion giving you literally a peak physical human body caught me SO off guard. God damn i won't lie if i was kinda in awe slightly. Episodes fight was also very good, Hanekawa suddenly getting hit with crossfire was, although a bad thing, was really the trigger for an all out Araragi and Episodes ability was also very interesting. Gullotine Cutter's fight was...hyped up a lot i guess? Sadly the dude looks like he's about to get shafted xD I know i've said this before, but the background for these movies are soooo fucking lovely . Scene with Araragi and Hanekawa talking after the episode fight, in the wheat field next to the river with the city across and the Gray skies. Something about how they all work together and compliment each other just makes it into that much more of a lovely scene. Even if they topic the two are talking about was very very... interesting ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Kiss-Shot was cute af this time around, interesting way to portray her getting her old self back through different phyisical stages of her body, but i must say sleeping pre-teen kiss-shot was cute as HECK and teen shinobu was, oh now that. thats hot. |
 "yabe." |
cayi said: Hanekawa's a top-tier anime girl. Like you, I don't have a waifu, but if I did, she'd probably be a top-tier candidate for that position. As for why Araragi was such a dick: think back to his first conversation with Hanekawa in the first film, along with what he says right before giving Kiss-Shot his blood. Basically, he's got no self-esteem. He's dealing with this whole inferiority complex and he's afraid to get close to people. When he lashed out at Hanekawa, it wasn't because he actually hated her. If anything, he hated himself. At least, that's how I interpreted it. On the topic of harems and unrealistic relationships: if that peeves you now, you should know that it gets "worse" in the rest of the series. The main saving grace is that the lack of realism is acknowledged numerous times, but if that kind of thing grinds your gears, then you should mentally prepare yourself. Hanekawa is indeed nice girl.. ;p Well, regarding why Araragi lashed out on Hanekawa - I'll stick to version that maybe he wanted to protect her, and that's it.. Well, he gets reminded of vampire stuff, and suddenly realizes that it's better, if she stays out of all this.. So says bad words, and stuff.. He also tries to convince Hanekawa to stay out of this several times later as well.. But I also guess that self-esteem explanation is possible as well.. It's not really explained to the end, and left to several possible interpretations, I guess.. Left for reader to decide himself, how he likes to see it.. That's how it seems to me anyway.. I don't really mind harems.. I like some harem shows actually.. A lot of anime actually has harem in one way or another.. But just that this lewdness thing in particular - it in particular felt unrealistic and just strange.. Like Hanekawa was all playful, using in words sexual teasings as well.. As well as she basically let Araragi to touch her breasts and stuff (if it wasn't his imagination), and afterwards got disappointed that he actually didn't grope her.. And after that they just agree on that let's still be sexual, but it's not about love relationship at all?.. It's just very strange.. Not even trying to date, maybe?.. So in the end this exact thing is feeling like it's done for the sake of harem.. I don't mind harems, even like some.. But in this exact point I don't think it was done well.. It's basically throwing any sexuality and lewdness between them under the bus, devalues it, really.. At least that's so to me.. Show just tells: we'll have these sexual scenes, but we also clearly tell that it won't go pass that, and they won't have a relationship.. Harems should not do that, lol.. ;p Why they even said this thing?.. It feels to me, really, that only for the sake of creating harem later.. I'd better prefer, if it'd be harem, where all girls are loved, for example, rather than noone.. Overall.. So far in this show relationships are the only thing that is really somehow interesting in this anime.. Well, besides nice girls, Hanekawa being one.. Paranormal stuff is alright, but not something I'm interested in - some side dish where characters and relationships between them happen.. I'm not interested in story or stuff like that usually anyway.. I watch anime for characters, really.. But it feels just strange, how Hanekawa is all lewd with Araragi, but also not with him.. It makes her strange as a character, I just can't enjoy this really.. Like what for this lewd comedy is done at all then?.. I better watch some series where there is both lewd comedy, and it's both remain that girls actually want to be with MC.. Like OniAi, Date a Live, for example, or many other harems, where girls do lewd things, because they like MC, not because of "no reason", as we arrive here in this anime.. What is the reason for them to be lewd, if they don't want MC?.. Or what is the reason for Hanekawa in particular?.. Just because she likes lewd things?.. She's not that type of character, she said that she didn't touch any other boys.. |
| Uau, apenas uau. Um dos apelos que me chamaram a atenção para Monogatari foi a existência da trilogia Kizumonogatari, eu havia assistido ao trailer e desde então aquele monumento havia se tornado um dos meus objetivos, eu tratava Monogatari como um deus e por causa disso demorei anos para entrar na história, era como se eu não fosse digno da sua complexidade. Quando finalmente tomei coragem para entrar nesse universo eu não me arrependi, cada sequência nunca chegou a me desapontar e sempre aumentava minha expectativa naquele grande monumento, eu pensei que se os títulos anteriores foram bons a trilogia dos filmes seria ainda melhor. Não me interprete mal, eu gostei do filme, foi um filme bom, mas esse é o problema, talvez eu tenha criado uma expectativa gigante em relação ao filme e esse tenha sido o resultado. Acredito que Kizumonogatari é um bom filme, mas não acredito que ele seja um título que consiga satisfazer as expectativas que venho alimentando desde Bakemonogatari, talvez eu devesse ter seguido a ordem de lançamento das novels, talvez eu tenha sonhado demais, porém no fim das contas tudo que me resta é a decepção. // Wow, just wow. One of the appeals that drew my attention to Monogatari was the existence of the Kizumonogatari trilogy, I had watched the trailer and since then that monument had become one of my goals, I treated Monogatari like a god and because of that it took me years to watch the anime, it was like I wasn’t prepared for all the complexity, like I wasn’t worthy. When I finally took the courage to enter the universe I did not regret it, each sequence never disappointed me and it always raised my expectations in that great monument, I thought that if the previous titles were good, the trilogy of the films would be even better. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, it was a good movie, but that's the problem, maybe I created a huge expectation about the movie and that was the result. I believe that Kizumonogatari is a good film, but I do not believe that it is a title that can satisfy the expectations that I have been feeding since Bakemonogatari, maybe I should have followed the order of the novels, maybe I dreamed too much, but in the end everything I have left is disappointment. (I'm sorry for my English, I'm just a Brazilian wanting to relieve my feelings) |
| Unlimited Rulebook, boku wa kimegao de sou itta. |
| Damn so the first movie was just an introduction? Holy shit that was an amazing animation there, all that scene really shocked me the same as when Hanekawa's gut got spilled. Well Shinobu got cuter when she ate her leg the gore in this anime was very good when Shinobu stick her hand on her brain was a genius. The hand tree was great this was better than the first one I can't wait to watch the third movie later and Hanekawa taking of her panties damnnn pink.... That's all I have to say so I'm giving this a 9/10 I enjoyed it the way I watched it was like a few minutes only. |
 |
| Out of all the Bake episodes and the first Kizu movie, I enjoyed this movie the most so far. I like the pacing and the balance between dialogue and action scenes. I LOVE the chemistry between Araragi and Hanekawa and think it’s much better than the chemistry between him and Senjougahara. |
| That was fantastic, I definitely like that more than the first movie since the first movie was basically just setup or an introduction. Man, I feel bad for Hanekawa now and I understand now why she was really stressed in Tsubasa Cat. She really didn't expect Senjougahara to come into Araragi's life and maybe she thought she's the only one Araragi had. Maybe if she had acted upon her feeling early maybe things could have been different, but it is what it is. I still love Senjougahara but I think as of right now Hanekawa is my favorite. Though I think as I go on my favorites will change lmao, since they're all great. Araragi was cool as fuck though, you can really see how he is developing into the man that we know in Bakemonogatari. 9/10 |
 |
| They really should have called this movie "How to Fall in Love with Hanekawa". I sure did. |
 |
| "Oh nooo, I grew tree arms to stop my not-waifu from being killed by some psycho priest. Now I'm nOt HuMaN aNyMoRe." Get over yourself Araragi - if you want us to care about that, try giving us a reason not being human is a bad thing. So far, everything we've seen a vampire on his level can do far outweighs the downsides of burning in sunlight and not having a shadow. It's not like his mindset or fundamental personality has been warped by becoming a vampire - he's just gained a bunch of superpowers but apparently that's a bad thing because not being human is bad for some reason? It doesn't make sense to me. Other than that and the gratuitous sexualisation synonymous with Monogatari, this was pretty good though. |
 |
If I'm being honest, I never really understood what people saw in Hanekawa when they call her best girl. But this scene right here... puts all those questions and doubts to rest, and then some. Senjougahara is still queen, but this really makes you wonder why Araragi ended up with her instead of Hanekawa. Anyway, have a screenshot dump just in case you enjoyed this whole scene as much as I did. Sponsored by: Coca Cola. Taste the Feeling. I understand now why people see Hanekawa as best girl And last but not least, just have some of Araragi being an absolute stud Making Araragi a hot vampire fuck boy and enlarging Hanekawa's already huge boobs to draw in new audiences who may be watching the Kizumonogatari movies as their first exposure and introduction to the monogatari series. Smart move. I think most people including myself would still recommend starting off with good old Bakemonogatari though. The sudden change in the art style and just overall writing and narrative style might put newcomers off. Starting off with Bakemonogatari easily lets you get a good idea of what the rest of the series is like; can't say the same for these Kizumonogatari movies which are quite different. ANYWAY, enough rambling on. I enjoyed this quite a bit more than the first movie. 7/10. Now onto the third and final one! |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Both loudest I've laughed but also plenty of crying throughout this whole film, absolutely incredible. Feel is more like the series compared to the first film but holds an incredibly cinematic feeling, as expected from Monogatari, this is pure cinema. Pace had me in the whole time and I'm really eager for the finale so I can say for sure, but I am pretty sure this will be my favourite of all trilogies of films. So many points where I'll go from crying heaps to laughing heaps however it's so natural in exchanges, cause y'know, Nisio Isin's fucking amazing. The puns were hilarious. Also Shaft, wonderful choices with how they deliver the comedy. The 2001 reference was perfect. Animation in general, incredible from beginning to end. Voice acting's amazing as always, like before, directing perfectly has you feeling where Araragi is at every point. Also, like since Second Season, I find Hanekawa's one of the most relatable characters for me, far out, will never get tired of this character. Probably missing some points but the film was filled with such greatness, beginning to end, that it's inevitable. Shinobutt was also perfect! End left me speechless. |

| Much more exciting than the previous film, this time, Ararararagi faces off against the three vampire slayers and also shows off his ripped body. Some pretty good character moments for Ruraragi, mostly involving Hanekawa, pretty much his only (human) friend at the moment. Makes me wonder how the hell he hasn't yet noticed that she has a crush on him. I mean, she literally gave him her panties. While watching, I also happened to strike gold.  |
