| Yeah Kizumono as a whole was a great trilogy, so despite this being a recap of all three put into one, this is some news. But will we ever get any new content, any??? |
 |
| praying we get some new content one of these days.. just a breadcrumb sire๐ |
| As per Crunchyroll News, The three films will be edited into one film with a new story. The film will tell the story of the events in a new way. |
 |
| I really really hope monogatari series will have new seasons following this |
| Off season / monster season when? |
| damn a recap movie |
| i got excited for like 2 seconds... |
 |
| More of a director's cut than a recap, either way I am so desperate that I'll 100% take this. Oishi, please come back I'm begging you. |
| i saw the notification from YouTube via Aniplex's Channel there about the trailer... but i figured... 'ah they're messing up again and putting the trailer for an old project on YouTube once more.' and i didn't think anything else of it. but nope, it is a kinda-sorta maybe in a vague way new project. ok. well. i'm disappointed. i already own the entire franchise on BR from Aniplex of America so... why would i buy this new version of 3 movies i've already got on-disk? if this is to create a hype-train and do some early soft-selling for new content we haven't seen animated yet... i'll be very HAPPY! VERY VERY HAPPY! otherwise... meh... i really don't care. |
just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Ok, we have 3 videos combined into one, but why? |
| Lmfao. It’s just a compilation movie. But I think it’ll be good cause the original 3 movies were a bit too long. I wonder if they'll tease new projects after this comes out in post-credits or something. |
| Man I hope it's the sign for another season, want more of basically everyone having fun. |
| As a fan of The Monogatari Series, this is actually a very disappointing rip off. Why condensed the three movies that already exist into one movie with maybe some new scenes. As a big fan of the Kizumonogatari novel, the adaptation was honestly disappointing as well in comparison to the original. A lot was cut, and the dark drama that the novel had was never really present in the movies. In the novel, there are a lot of moments that are scary or depressing, from either Kisshot and the villains from Koyomi's point of view. I wish this was an announcement for a sequel continuing the latest novels that we've been waiting for years since Shaft claimed they're working on. Damn fucking shame. Very frustrating. |
| I'd rather rewatch the trilogy. |

| 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 |
| Good news but not that good. |
 |
| They need to fund Off Season somehow |
| I got rock hard here for a second after seeing the notification, but of course its just a compilation.. Well its a life sign I guess. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| But why? What's even the point? |
| OUUU YES!!! Monogatari Sequel. |
 |
| They are making a recap movie of three movies. what XD |
 |
| @Yui_Suzumiya69 I personally only read a few arcs of Season One and Two, and Kizu to completion after the anime years ago before the Kizu anime. I'm a big fan of The Monogatari Series, and I think it's great, but until I rewatch it or possibly read all the books before or after to compare, I won't know for certain how truly good it really is in hindsight and with better judgement today. I actually realized late Off Season is supposed to be next, and not Monster Season which is after, but aside from that I barely know and avoid any spoilers after the Final Season. It's obscure, but Shaft announced somewhere years ago that they would continue, and here it is for now, until this recap is finished, then I think it's obvious they'll finally resume with Off-Season. I wish they did right away instead of wasting their time with editing three movies into one which I can't imagine makes great profit. It's illogical to me, but for whatever reason, a lot of anime productions keep doing it... I guess because it's only editing an existing movie to basically trim in placements, there's barely any wasted budget, so for whoever random few who buy it, it gives them a decent profit... It's weird as hell to me, but anyway. I don't think I knew about them getting married, or forgot, even though it'd be easy to assume. |
| @Yui_Suzumiya69 Very informative! I didn't know most of that, thank you. I can't imagine The Monogatari Series anime failing to continue. It'd be a shock and shame to let it die. So, I believe we'll get it sooner or later. |
