Kizumonogatari Part 1 Tekketsu Blu-ray

This is a nice set. It has this nice shiny foil effect on the slipcase, you can see it in the picture. The booklet is nicer than the monogatari booklets usually are, this one has interviews and key art as well as character sheets. I love the postcards too. The soundtrack is fantastic, one of the best I've heard. As far as I can tell, video, sound, and subs are perfect, although I wish it had the gorgeous menu the JP BD had. My issues with the set are with the slipcase and the price. At this price it should have come in a nice, sturdy box like Doukyusei did, not a paper slipcase, and is why I deducted a star, it would have been perfect otherwise. I also dislike that there isn't a standard edition, but thats par for the course with monogatari.

I just wrote that last review, and since I can't edit I'll put this here. I forgot to point out that this set is actually more expensive then the Japanese one, which is ridiculous, it's the most expensive per minute set I've bought. Now multiply that by 3, it's unreasonable. But I've committed myself to buying all of monogatari since it's my favorite currently airing series and second overall, and Kizu is amazing so I cant stop now, and AoA is taking advantage of that, those bastards.

One of the most visually amazing anime films there are, totally worth buying on blu ray. The extra stuff like the notebook and postcards are also very nice.

Aniplex charges big bucks but deliver on quality. Cover matches the movie poster perfectly and looks great with it in my collection.

Actually, it is not more expensive. Japanese one cost 8000+ yen, which is equal to $80. Plus tax. Just the same price.

I had no problems with the product and it was delivered much faster than I expected it to be. I'm glad RightStuf turned out to be as reliable as it is.

To get to the point, this is really expensive and you don't get a hole lot for that price. BUT this is a beautiful release, probably my favorite out of the entire series. My only 'complaint' is that its not a hard box like Bakemonogatari but its consistent with the rest of the single volumes of the series. Comes with beautiful art cards & a booklet, if you can afford it or have an extra kidney definitely get it!

Now this is a very pricey movie. I will not deny that. But as someone who read Kizumonogatari and absolutely loved it from cover to cover, I can honestly say that to me this was so worth it. The animation alone is just fantastic. I loved the animation and art style of Bakemonogatari but this just blew that out of the water for me. The soundtrack that's included is also fantastic and the art/interview book that comes with it is very interesting and informative.

Anyone thats a fan of the Monogatari series will enjoy this, especially if you loved the Kizumonogatari novel as much as me.

The movie is amazing, and the art is completely different from the TV series, and in a good way. I have no problems with the movie at all.

The price however... is way to high. The movie is only around 60 minutes so you're paying over a dollar per minute of video. I did like the character cards/post cards a lot and the case is really nice though.

Still, I don't think I would reccomend buying this movie, it's $70 for a 60 min movie while I just bought the new Steins;Gate movie which was only $30 for a 90 min movie with a similar quality case. If it's $70 per movie,

Kizmonogatari has finally come out! Part 1 is on blu-ray and I gotta say, it was worth it. Shaft took the animation that they showed in the first episode of Bakemonogatari to an amazing level. We learned why Araragi is a vamp, how him and Heart Under-blade met, how Araragi and Hanekawa met, and also how Oshino and Araragi met as well. This is where it all began and it is a must watch series.

worth buying here cause on Amazon it is 106.00

Let me get this out of the way, Kizumonogatari is absolutely stunning. However here is a usual Aniplex of America rant.

If you've bought an Aniplex release, you know what you're getting yourself into. I'm willing to pay a good amount of money for a good release. This set is nice, however, take a look at the recent Aniplex release, Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel Limited Edition. For the same asking price as this set, you're getting an actual chipboard box (the packaging for this movie is flimsy cardboard) 2 good sized art books, one hardcover, and the soundtrack. With this set you're getting a very small booklet, a few art cards and the soundtrack. Also the fate movie is double the runtime of this movie. Still nice extras, however you're getting way more quality and moneys worth with the Fate/Stay Night set. I'm just confused as to why this is the same price, and why Kizumonogatari isn't getting the same treatment.

Pros:
-Tsubasa Hanekawa

Cons:
-Way too expensive for an hour long movie
-10 minutes in before you get any dialogue or really anything related to the story
-Tries wayyyy to hard to be edgy, but just ends up being annoying. The frames that keep popping up every minute or so with irrelevant words plastered on them are among the worst offenders.

This is one of the most incredible films to be animated, if you can handle some good old monogatari fan service. The price is reasonable, and the actual blu-ray comes with everything it should and more, while looking fantastic.

IT'S SO SHINY! The box looks great, and the art book is amazing. A touch better than those in the other Monogatari collections I would say. Also. Also, the soundtrack. It comes with this set. That put a huge smile on my face.

Should you grab this? Yes! If you are a fan of the show, I highly recommend this. Get. IT. You will not regret it. Although , if you are going for the entire Monogatari collection on Blu-Ray, your wallet may want to have a few words with you.

Regardless of how you feel about the written material, which is playful, serious, biting, crude, and tragic all at once, you cannot deny the artistry that went into animating this story. It is gorgeous. And they really frame the animation as if they had an actual camera there. It moves around to tell the story. If you have a great TV you owe it to yourself to watch this movie.

This bundle comes with the soundtrack which is also amazing. The booklet with interviews, character images and additional character cards are beautifully realized.

The only thing I don't quite like is it does that thing that a lot of hard-sleeve cases do, where the information for the film and format which normally is a part of the cover is just a piece of paper mildly stuck to the back of the case and it's easily lost.

This is the most I've spent on a blu-ray disc and to be honest.. I don't regret it. To anyone who is a big fan of the monogatari series, I definitely recommend. Especially if you're like me and love the character Shinobu Oshino/Kiss-Shot as this 1/3 movies do revolve around her back story. As well as how Araragi became the way he is, and how/when he met a few other amazing characters. This movie would actually serve as a good entry to the series since it does take place before the 1st season of the anime, "Bakemonogatari".
The quality of this movie was so clean, the animations were beautiful as usual, music/sound effects were great! Voice acting is on point, and the dialog, the conversations are honestly some of the main aspects of the series that keep me so engaged.. I've watched the movie multiple times, still enjoying it each time and suggest you just get all 3 parts if you are sold on getting this 1st part already. The bonuses in the set are a nice plus too!!

this is simply my favorite part of my favorite anime. the kizumonogatari movies are a production, plain and simple. you can tell the director and animators put serious thought in each frame and sound, or lack of. for instance when araragi screaming in futility upon meeting the three vampire hunters is muted for the viewers, showing exactly how much thought they are giving to our protagonists desperate pleas. the details like that make this movie an annual rewatch for me. for the actual quality of the blu ray picture i can say it's without a doubt a crisper and more detailed picture than any streaming quality can provide, especially since this movie can't be officially streamed in the U.S. The slipcase is made of thick construction paper like material and is sealed so as not to unfold like other paper blu ray slips. overall i would definitely buy again, and will two more times to complete the collection.

If you enjoy the Monogatari series your going to love this too! Try getting it on sale though, even as a mega fan I still think full price is asking a bit much. But the contents of the movie are solid gold!
