“Kizumonogatari” Bakemonogatari Prequel Announced

The prequel novel to top-selling anime Bakemonogatari, titled Kizumonogatari, has received the long-sought confirmation for an animated adaptation.
The announcement comes attached in flyer form to the recently released novel, Nekomonogatari:
As can be gathered from the poster, the plot is set around Aya Hirano-voiced loli-vampire, Oshino Shinobu.
Fans of top-tier tsundere Senjougahara Hitagi or much-loved Sengoku Nadeko may be disappointed, as the story takes place before their encounters with protagonist Araragi Koyomi, likely preventing a more than passing appearance, if any.
With animation studio Shaft’s history with releasing episodes finished and on-time, expectations of numerous delays may be justified – in any case Shaft has yet to mock fans with further release details.

I really doubt it's a smart move to let Aya voice her now.
At the index of bake's official website there is another pic of adult shinobu with "kizumonogatari" title
http://www.bakemonogatari.com/
So we might see this in a few years?
Kizumonogatari is Bakemonogatari without LOLI.
And that's not relevant to my interests.
No Senjougahara or Suruga makes me sad.
They will probably get a cameo.
sankaku never fails i was starting to wonder if they will adapt the other novels and boom! i enter the site with the good news : )
What's with all this Shinbou/Aya stuff?
I don't recall Shinbou ever talking or making a noise in Bakemonogatari...
Fuckin' A!
I just finish Bakemonogatari (wrote about it on my blog) http://vzartanime.blogspot.com/2010/09/bakamonogatari-better-than-i-expected.html, so I'm anticipating this prequel.
This is so good i hope the sequel gets animated too.
SHAFT,my love for you has grown bigger and bigger :D
Unfortunately little chance that there'll be no Sengoku Nadeko on this one OTL
still waiting for Bakemonogatari to be licensed...
That aviator helmet makes her look kinda cute, all things considered.
awesome news :D now i really need to watch the series ^^
SWEET! Talk about the one anime I wanted to see most now!
Can't wait, Bakemonogatari is amongst my favorite anime :)
can anyone remind me if Shinobu actually had any lines in the series or the webcast?
I can't even recall her making the slightest sound in this
thank god. i have something to look forward to in 2060
err...your grave?
yeah!
Vampir Mode is gonna come
I was just wishing they'd make this into an anime. The few flashbacks we saw in Bakemonogatari were totally badass.
Dude, are you FUCTIONALLY ILLITERATE or something?
FUNCTIONALLY*
Oshino is So Hot!
Ugh say Shinobu, whenever I hear Oshino I think of the exorcist (for lack of a better term) guy.
Reminded me of Lain a bit.
You meant Oshino Meme?!
true dat. this looks promising.
Seems Aya Hirano is going to do some more voice acting.
But, it could be any seiyuu right?
I mean, I hardly hear Oshino/Aya saying anything apart from SFXs... =3
Not that it really matters though...
@Somewhatabasher00
You obviously didn't get what I'm saying or you lack a sarcastic bone.
Apart from compulsory drama/character album/radio or whatever audio cd that may be released, her character didn't do/say much, so why should this be any different?
She just has to look loli-pretty, and let Araragi/Meme do the talking like every time on bakemono, unless this new plot demands her to actually speak to get her pay...
Proved that you didn't even bother to listen to Hyakumonogatari Drama CD. Aya has voiced Shinobu in it.
Please SHAFT finish this one on time so you won't have to stream the last episodes months after the season is over.
@Reizo Amen to that!
they did it on purpose with the last episodes, the TV series ended properly, and the final episodes finished the arcs that were meant to be finished separately
I have read the novel and Kisshot turn from adult into a loli due to her lost arms and legs.
Then turn into 12 years old when she got one of her leg back... 18 when another leg is been retrive back and then hot 20 blonde when she got both her arms back...
Sounds like this will be full of loli goodness. ^_^
I might check if all volumes are out by the time my hair starts to get gray.
Same here.
I will die a happy old man.
I like what I see in the clips of kisshot whatever heart-under-blade. They make me happy.
but isn't shinobu still an adult vampire when kizumonogatari takes place? If there's lolis, it won't be her.
yeah, Kisshot goodness.
She's hot and better than Senjougahara.
i think it's better that they did the stream instead of compacting the various arcs to fit the 12 week block that they bought...
let's just hope that if they do decide to do it again they follow their schedule properly ... instead of the delay spam they previosly did
i dont care how many time they will take, it will be just epic like bakemonogatari =P
This is the best news i heard all day
Prepare for a shitstorm of DEEP trolls once this show comes out.
I like what i am seeing here.
unfortunately, its not the version of shinobu we are used to with beautiful dfc. its the grown up version
Don't worry, she will be loli after the scene Araragi saved her from the start.
I have a feeling I'm going to like the grown-up version.
So Oshino is finally gonna talk?
Why are people calling her Oshino? It would be better to call her Shinobu because her caretaker is also an Oshino (Meme).
Noooo! Give me Senjougahara Hitagi! Sobsob, i was waiting for a sequel about her. Nooooooooooooo!
kizumonogatari = bakemonogatari without senjougahara = FAIL.
not really a failure. Just read the novel damn it
Err.... I don't think you will like the new Hitagi after the Bakemonogatari.
i had faith...i had faith.
The positioning of that post >> Is she a trap?!?
Awesome.
Is this the part we saw in the beginning of episode 01? That will be great as long as I get to see more Hanekawa :3
And your wish will be come true because Hanekawa is indeed an another feature is the prequel.
yea it will definitly come out in time. its SHAFT!!
