Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting Kizumonogatari flies above its competitors and sinks its teeth into a fresh, lively vein. Anime fans will praise Kizumonogatari for its daring ideas and presentation style, while curious newcomers will be blown away by the medium’s infinite abilities. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews It’s a visually stunning feature with a captivating plot, engaging characters, and noteworthy gore and action sequences. Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The composite structure of the film means that there’s plenty of plot to hold the action sequences together. Rated: 3/5 Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Although some may perceive “Kizumonogatari” as too much to follow for 140 minutes, the film remains a truly masterful embodiment of all the excellence of the Monogatari series, and a truly great anime overall. Rated: 7.5 Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Pieter-Jan Van Haecke Psychocinematography Koyomi Vamp dares to be different, utilizing the visual field as a creative and expressive playground. The result is an evocative experience that succeeds in giving the vampire and the well-explored themes a fresh coat of drama and sexiness. Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Debopriyaa Dutta High on Films A niche spectacle, perhaps never meant for a more mainstream sensibility, stylistic ultraviolence and unconventional visual dynamism mold KIZUMONOGATARI: KOYOMI VAMP into something more pleasantly surreal.

Andy D One of my favorite Animes/Mangas so of course I had to see it on the big screen. Such beautiful art style, amazing voice actors, and soundtrack. Shame they didn't leave the film to it's entirety, but understandable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Enrique no se porq lo hicieron haci al araragi pero da mucho asco Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Adan Worth your time if you like to see some out of the ordinary stuff Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Mike S Great film. Really enjoyed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Steve T Like most fans of the Monogatari (i.e., story) series, I started with the Bakemonogatari TV series. I kept watching the sequels, getting more and more hooked, and then i learned that three prequel movies under the blanket name Kizumonogatari had been released theatrically in Japan between 2016 and 2017. I could not find them available to watch or download anywhere on the internet, so I bought all three of them in Blu-ray format. This new film is a compilation made from them, which accounts for its length. The story continued as different TV series ending in 2018, until last month when a new one was released on TV in Japan that I am currently watching on Crunchyroll. This is definitely not a series for everyone. There is a lot of violence, sexual themes, some of them pretty perverse, etc., but if you like it, you will be hooked. I've watched a lot of anime and haven't seen anything else really like it. If you watch this movie, you will be starting at the very beginning of the story, and your reaction to it will definitely tell you if you should proceed.
