posted on by Andrew Osmond
The 144-minute film is compiled from the three previous Kizumonogatari films: Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu in January 2016, Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu in August 2016, and Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu in January 2017. According to MVM, "All parts of the original films have been restructured, including the editing, sound, and music. The original voice actors have also come back to record new lines."
Tatsuya Oishi, who directed the Bakemonogatari anime series, directed the film trilogy at the anime studio SHAFT. Akiyuki Simbo was credited as chief director. Akio Watanabe and Hideyuki Morioka designed the characters. Yōta Tsuruoka directed the sound, and Satoru Kousaki composed the music.
Kizumonogatari is the third volume in NisiOisin's Monogatari book series and is a prequel to Bakemonogatari. The novel tells the story of how protagonist Koyomi encounters the female vampire that would turn him and his journey to return to his normal life.
French singer-songwriter Clémentine returned to perform the new film's ending song. Clémentine previously performed the song "Étoile et toi" (The Star and Me) for the Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu film, and a new arrangement of the song for the "Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu."
