First season of the Monogatari Series, part 2/6. Contains the arc Koyomi Vamp from the Kizumonogatari light novel.
March 25th—just another day during spring break. Koyomi Araragi, a second year high school student at Naoetsu High School, befriends Tsubasa Hanekawa, the top honors student at his school. Hanekawa mentions a rumor about a "blonde vampire" that has been sighted around their town recently. Araragi, who is usually anti-social, takes a liking to her down-to-earth personality.
That night, Araragi encounters the rumored vampire: she is Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, also known as the "iron-blooded, hot-blooded, cold-blooded King of Apparitions." The stunningly beautiful vampire cries out for Koyomi to save her as she lies in a pool of her own blood, all four of her limbs cut off. Kiss-shot asks Araragi to give her his blood, and when he does, the next moment he awakes, Araragi finds himself reborn as her vampire kin. As Araragi struggles to accept his existence, Kiss-Shot whispers, "Welcome to the world of darkness..."

Where it came from
Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu was released in 2016 as the long-awaited cinematic adaptation of the third volume in NisiOisiN’s Monogatari light novel series. Serving as a prequel to the Bakemonogatari television series, the film depicts the pivotal encounter between high school student Koyomi Araragi and the legendary vampire Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. The production was spearheaded by Studio Shaft under the direction of Akiyuki Shinbo and Tatsuya Oishi, marking a significant shift in visual tone from the earlier television adaptations.
The film is distinguished by its experimental art style, which strips away much of the dense, text-heavy aesthetic found in previous installments in favor of a cinematic, high-contrast visual language. Tatsuya Oishi, who had previously directed the Bakemonogatari anime, aimed to translate the surrealist prose of the source material into a moody, atmospheric film experience. Upon its debut, the film was widely acclaimed by critics and fans for its bold departure from traditional anime conventions and its refined, fluid character animation.
