She routinely arrives late, leaves early, or doesn\u2019t show up at all, and skips gym as a matter of course. She\u2019s pretty, and the boys take to whispering that she\u2019s a cloistered princess. As the self-described worst loser in her class soon finds out, they just don\u2019t know what a monster she is. So begins a tale of mysterious maladies that are supernatural in origin yet deeply revealing of the human psyche, a set of case files as given to unexpected feeling as it is to irreverent humor. So begins the legendary novel that kicked off the MONOGATARI series, whose anime adaptations have enjoyed international popularity and critical acclaim. This first of three parts introduces Senjogahara and Hachikuji, and fans of the blockbuster prequel KIZUMONOGATARI will be delighted to meet their favorite crazies again: the weirdly reliable narrator Araragi, class president among class presidents Hanekawa, shady problem-solver Oshino, and a certain pale, blonde former vampire.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;font-size: 12pt\">Staff<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022 Chief director: <strong>Akiyuki Shimbou<\/strong> <\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022 Character designers: <strong>Akio Watanabe<\/strong>&nbsp;and<strong>&nbsp;Hideyuki Morioka<\/strong> <\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022 Sound director: <strong>Yota Tsuroka<br><\/strong>\u2022 Music composer: <strong>Satoru Kosaki<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022 Animation production: <strong>Shaft<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;font-size: 12pt\">Cast<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Hiroshi Kamiya<\/strong>&nbsp;as Koyomi Araragi<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Maaya Sakamoto<\/strong>&nbsp;as Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Yui Horie<\/strong>&nbsp;as Tsubasa Hanekawa<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Takahiro Sakurai<\/strong>&nbsp;as Meme Oshino<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Miyu Irino<\/strong>&nbsp;as Episode<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Masashi Ebara<\/strong>&nbsp;as Dramaturgy<\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u2022&nbsp;<strong>Hochu Otsuka<\/strong>&nbsp;as Guillotinecutter<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <span class=\"css-1qaijid r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nisioisin_anime\/status\/1733033671651655857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@nisioisin_anime<\/a>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aniplexUSA\/status\/1733036465322696854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"css-1qaijid r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">@aniplexUSA<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: There&#8217;s also a &#8220;main trailer,&#8221; which you can watch below: Original: A key visual for Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp, the upcoming compilation movie of the Kizumonogatari\u00a0film trilogy, has been released.
