Crunchyroll Lands North American Rights to ‘Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp-‘

Supernatural vampire compilation film from Aniplex of America to receive one-day-only release in North America, Mexico and Australia beginning in August.

Crunchyroll announced that it has acquired North American and select international theatrical rights, including Mexico and Australia, for the ultra supernatural vampire film compilation Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- from Aniplex of America.

Kizumonogatari -Koyomi Vamp- is a three-film anime adaptation comprised of edited footage from the trilogy of films of the same name previously released in 2016 and 2017 featuring animation produced by Shaft.

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.

Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will bring the film to theaters for one day only in North America and Mexico on August 28 and in Australia on September 5.

Here’s an official description:

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 you back to the beginning, the origin of the Monogatari story. Originally released as three separate movies, the upcoming film installment summarizes the Kizumonogatari trilogy and can be seen exclusively in theaters.

Directed by and screenplay by Tatsuya Oishi, with the original story by Nisioisin, the 114-minute compilation film is produced by Shaft.

Additionally, for fans, Crunchyroll recently announced that a new season of the Monogatari Series, Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season, is set to stream on Crunchyroll on July 6.
