I think that more than 1 film is probably the second-best adaptation option for a novel (light- or not), below making a TV version. Way too much books got butchered by either trying to squeeze the content into a single, 120-minutes long format, or modified the story that it came an utter mess. I commend Shaft for willing to bet on 3 theatrical installments.

SHAFT has already adapted three of the novels (Tsuki, Hana and Neko (kuro) ) in standalone formats. All of them last over one hour and a half and less than 2 hours (so 90-120 minutes), and all of them are less action-based than Kizu. And those came out well. Any average above 40 minutes per movie would put it over the other three in length. |

I know that. But what I mean it was movies are something that can't be viewed as part of a routine schedule, as opposed to weekly TV shows, so often times in order to "justify" the viewers outing to the cinemas, movie creators will usually try to highlight a certain theme, or certain scenes, while in TV format, due to its recurring nature, it is easier to "cut-off" the story somewhere (A.K.A. a hook). Films need to maintain constancy throughout its runtime. Right now this is my personal opinion, but due to those reasons, I think that a single, 90-to-120 minutes film won't be on par with a TV show with a similar total runtime. Of course, if a TV show will adapt a full 12-episode cour that is based on one book volume (a la Rokka no Yūsha, Hibike! Euphonium), then it already adapts more than a two-hour film could. |

Yeahhhhhh
 Release date + 3 films confirmed. Initially I thought it'd be one single film but it'd either have to be long or cut down, so 3 films is good.
Can't wait for that juicy BD quality! |

I just saw the trailer.
The different art style caught me by surprise  Other than that, looks like the regular Monogatari story, that is that it is anything but

It doesn't look too different to me, just sort of a natural upgrade that comes with time and a higher budget. |

FINALLY, been waiting for this since the first series ended in 2010! And while I've enjoyed the other monogatari seasons I've been disappointed each time that they weren't kizumonogatari. I really hope we don't have ridiculous time gaps in between each movie, going to feel like the Berserk trilogy all over again.

I suppose for the long delay, the staff decided to make it 3 films. On the delays, I don't get Funi could just stream Eva 3.3 on their site (rights issue?) while they still are figuring the release plans.

which was completely unnecessary. The whole battle of the 5 armies was about 3 or 4 pages in the actual book. They could have very easily made it a 2 movie sage, or even a 1 movie if they kept the action scenes short. but 3 movies means 3 times the box office sales so there you go heh. guess the same goes for kizumonogatari |
