Crunchyroll is ready to take a bite out of the box office this month, launching ticket sales for the new anime feature Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- in the U.S. and Canada. Comprising the three Kizumonogatari films recut into a new adaptation, the film will screen in select theaters for one night only on August 28, in Japanese with English subtitles.
Synopsis: Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- centers around a high school student named Koyomi Araragi, who survives an encounter with a gorgeous yet helpless vampire, Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
It was one fateful evening when Koyomi Araragi encountered her – Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade: Legendary Vampire, Killer of Apparitions, and King of Apparitions. Her legs and arms were cruelly torn apart, her extravagant dress soaked in red; she’s a monster who finds herself in a tragic state, lying in a pool of her own blood. However, Koyomi finds her to be beautiful this way.
Written by NISIOISIN and animated by SHAFT, Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- takes fans back to the beginning of the Monogatari story. The film is directed by Tatsuya Oishi, who also penned the screenplay.
The original Monogatari trilogy was released in 2015 and 2017. The newly assembled adaptation made its North American premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival last month as part of its Animation Plus section.
Tickets are available through Fandango.
Fans can now stream the latest installment of the story, Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season on Crunchyroll.
