It has been announced that the highly anticipated Bakemonogatari prequel Kizumonogatari will take on the form of a 3-part animated trilogy, finally revealing Koyomi’s origin story and his initial encounter with lovable loli vampiress Shinobu, along with possibly an even greater abundance of Shinobu service than ever before.
The announcement PV, which aired after Owarimonogatari’s first episode:

Kizumonogatari I Tekketsu-hen will make its way to theaters on January 8th; advance tickets however can be purchased October 9th, with a clear file thrown in as an added bonus.
I’ll wait for the 15 minute version. Is a shortened version where the story and the action of the movie are exactly the same, but the random-still-image scenes are removed so the total length of the film is between 1/20 and 1/10 of the actual lenght of the regular film.
I guess if it’s the last of the monogatari series they wanted to go with a bang. A blu-ray bang to be exact
That’s some high production values. Everything they’ve shown so far looks freaking amazing.
Well, now we know why it’s taking so long… How long has this thing been in production for?? I feel like I saw the first teaser trailer for it years ago.
About fucking time. Wow.
