Aniplex has released on YouTube the previously announced eight-minute commercial for the Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp compilation movie.
The CM, which is apparently the longest commercial in Japan’s history, initially had its first and only television broadcast on January 1 JST. The YouTube upload was delayed due to the earthquake that struck Japan on New Year’s Day (the anime’s X (formerly Twitter) account apologized for being unable to halt the TV broadcast in time).
Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp will premiere in Japanese theaters on January 12, 2024, with a North American release to follow later. The movie summarizes the Kizumonogatari trilogy (comprising Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu, Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu, and Kizumonogatari Part 3: Reiketsu), which came out in Japan between 2016 and 2017. The Kizumonogatari movies are an adaptation of the third volume of Nisio Isin‘s supernatural Monogatari light novel series, which serves as the prequel to 2006’s Bakemonogatari Part 1 and 2.
Kodansha USA describes the Kizumonogatari book as:
The first Monogatari series anime was 2009’s Bakemonogatari TV series. Many installments followed for the next decade, with the anime adaptations ending in 2019 with Zoku Monogatari. Bakemonogatari and Kizumonogatari are the only entries to be directed by Tatsuya Oishi, who also penned the scripts for the latter.
The Kodansha-published light novel series, which are illustrated by VOFAN, has 29 volumes as of May 2023 (excluding a crossover volume). The books have also inspired a manga adaptation drawn by Oh!Great. An anime trailer for the Bakemonogatari manga was released in 2022.
