A trailer for Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp is available on the official Aniplex YouTube channel. At a little under a minute long, it only really focuses on Koyomi and Kiss-Shot. The movie will come out on January 12, 2024 in Japan. There is no news yet of an international release, whether in theaters or on streaming services. [Thanks, KaroshiMyriad!]
This is a compilation film of the three Kizumonogatari movies. As such, it’s unlikely that there will be any new scenes. The Kizumonogatari film trilogy aired from 2016 to 2017 in Japanese theaters, and adapts the Kizumonogatari light novel, which came out in 2008. It serves as a prequel to Bakemonogatari, and shows Koyomi’s past with Meme and how he became a vampire.
The Monogatari series of light novels by Nisio Isin follows Koyomi Araragi, who is a high school student and part vampire. He uses his past experiences with aberrations to help his classmates when they get in trouble with one. While episodic in nature (with each arc focusing on a different girl and issue), the character development and relationship changes carry over as the story progresses.
Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp will air in Japan from January 12, 2024. You can watch the other shows in the Monogatari series via Crunchyroll.
