Final Thoughts-Kizumonogatari Tekketsu hen

Kizumonogatari is a movie produce by our good old friends STUDIO SHAFT back from earler this year. How early? It came out in January. After months of being in theaters over seas and in some  theaters in the states and Canada it was finally released online.
Kizumonogatari is the first out of a trilogy of movies that focus mostly on Shinobu, Araragi and the Hunter who are determine to fished  her off.

In this movie Tekketsu Hen it bascially laid down the foundation for what will happen in the next two movies. Tekketsu hend mostly focused on how Araragi met Shinobu and how now he has to help her out against the three hunters after her which are Guillotinecutter, Dramaturgie and Episode (yep the one Hanekawa calls Mr.Episode). Being Honest most of the action takes pace 15 min in because the first 15 is spent dicking around with Hanekawa after Agaragi ends up seeing her panties because of strategic wing blowing. While the scene was boring to me it was visually good.

The movie picked up during the whole subway scene which was visually stunning by the way, plot wise  beides agaragi meeting shinobu for the first time  there really wasn't much to the Tekketsu hen besides laying the foundation for the next two movies.



Characters-9.5
I would have to say Hanekawa was less annoying in this one and we got to see how anti-social  Agaragi was before pre monogatari events took place for him not to mention Oshino one of my favs came back.

Plot-8.5
While this was just laying out the foundation for the next two movies the plot that they did between Shinobu and Araragi was good

Animation-10
SHAFT when working with the monogatari series on a movie budget is FUCKING  AMAZING. My only gripe is when it comes the the faces of Hanekawa and Shiobu (loli form) why so much shine on there cheeks? adding blush to the cheeks is one thing but you guys added rosyness and shine also all the characters had the white/grey hair strand thing going on it kinda bugged me.

Overall- 9.5

Tekketsu Hen was Good and of course seeing how it was the first movie it was going to have flaws but luckly it wasn't that many. The next movie comes out this week (at the time this post goes up) In Japan  and its Kizumonogatari-Nekketsu-hen so if you happen to be lucky and are in Japan do check it out. God only know low long it will take to get to the state or sub state side.
