Monogatari Series: First Season
| Don't get me wrong, i'm a big fan of the Monogatari series, and Kizumonogatari is one of my favourite film trilogies. But even though i'm excited to hear this news, i'm not too sure what to expect. Would i be totally crazy to expect something similar in quality with what Studio Khara did with the Rebuild of Evangelion movie reboots? Will there be any cut content added or additional story that wasn't covered in the three original films? What would most people get out of watching this reboot instead of just watching the original three films back-to-back instead? And, if they are willing to do that would they add additional scenes here and there to enhance the overall cinematography of the film? These are the type of questions that are flowing through my mind at the moment. I just watched the trailer a few moments ago and although its been such a long time since i last watched Kizumonogatari i can't even tell if the way they composed the scenes were exactly the same to original or not... the trailer did look really good though... perhaps if some who knows this could help clarify this in particular that would help me form a more opinion on this reboot. |

| No this is just a compilation film and not a reboot. Basically they will condense the three Kizumonogatari movies into one. |
 |
| Why Are Compilation Films Made? Recap movies can serve as convenient reminders of a show's crucial plot points, especially prior to a sequel coming out. A theatrical event can act as a gathering point for fans of the show, and the events surrounding a theatrical release make for great marketing that drives sales of everything related to that show. Otaku will usually pony up to obsessively collect any new media release, even if there's only the barest hint of any new material included. But more than anything, compilation films are just really, really cheap to make. Even if nobody goes to see them, the cost of producing them is a small fraction of the cost to make a single episode of anime. No new animation needs to be made (and if it does, it's usually only a couple of minutes' worth). Usually only a single voice actor is required to add new narration. No new music needs to be composed. Most of the sound design can be re-used. When an entirely new product from an existing franchise can be made for only the cost of hiring a few editors, making it becomes a question of "why not?" https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-12-02/.109367 |
| Yeah this is just a waste of time. Instead of actually adapting new content they are coming up with this shit. Whats wrong with shaft these days?! |
 |
| Maybe it’s a way to gauge interest in new Monogatari projects? It’s a low risk, high reward situation. |
   Did you hear me? I said I'm gonna do my best!! ☆ |
| Well don't watch it. It'll give Aniplex an excuse that no one's interested in Monogatari Series, so no point adapting new content. I love Madoka recap movies. Although it's same as the TV series with content removed, it's also different with more soundtrack and improved animation. Most viewers don't care about this stuff, but for fans it's a new experience, an emotion. I think that's what Shaft is trying to capitalize here. People look down on stuff which has content removed, but from my perspective, it makes the story available to wider audience. A new viewer is likely to watch a 2.5 hours movie than 3 movies with 3 hours plus worth of screen time. It's also easier and cheaper to get screens for 1 movie than screens for 3 movies. So can you prove your allegiance to Monogatari Series and Shaft, and show them Monogatari fans (who are a bunch of weirdos) are still alive? Then this movie is your chance. |

| I hope they will continue to adapt more Monogatari novels. |

| @Chadow_2B Araragi was the greatest and most evil ghost story of them all. The End. |

| I'd be kinda surprised if there's any new scenes that was originally excluded from the novel, but regardless, as a fan and one who's read the novel, while being disappointed by the adaptation of Kizu, it won't make this movie much better. It's clearly a cheap money grab and strategic attempt to test The Monotagari Series again I guess, since it's been so long, but I still think that's stupid. An underwhelming adaptation which was still good but didn't have the same feel of the novel, now condensed into one movie, wtf. They should have continued to the next novels already, wtf. We've waited long enough. It's an odd decision. It's hard to imagine people being eager to watch a condensed edit of a trilogy. Just rewatch the whole trilogy. Why spend on a condensed movie of three, with probably barely any real new scenes, that any fan can edit. It's a fucking rip off. |
| surely its a recap so that we are ready for new content |
 |
| I don't know why this forum is acting like Shaft is the one calling the shots, this is entirely Aniplex's decision considering they're on the top of the committee. |
| Tbh this isn't necessary at all but if it means bringing in money so that the new Madoka movie looks good then fine. But I wish they would've adapted some of the new novels instead. |

| @Chadow_2B It's not really an instead. making a whole series would take a lot more EVERYTHING (time, man power, money). it's like saying I can't believe you wasted 10 buck on a burger instead of buying a PlayStation 5. it just doesn't make sense. |

| they will have new inner monologue from koyomin to add an extra layer of meta to an already convoluted trilogy. |
