Kizumonogatari -Vamp Edition- Rebooting the Trilogy Into One

One of the most recognizable anime, Kizumonogatari from the Monogatari series is making a comeback. The entire series is known for its captivating lore, charismatic characters, creative screenplays, and beautiful animation. The Tekketsu, Nekketsu, and Reiketsu trilogy movies are coming together in a single film called ‘Koyomi Vamp’ or ‘Vamp Edition’. They were premiered from 2016 to 2017 and the compilation film is set to be released in January 2024 on theaters. Kizumonogatari is widely known for that meme fight “Araragi vs Kiss Shot” which is pretty hilarious. It would be awesome to see that making an entry in the new year.
