My, what an adorable scooter helmet you have there little girl and...OH GOD!
ANN is reporting that the announcement came via an inserted card included with copies of the just-released Nekomonogatari novel. The project is being overseen by Kodansha and NisiOishiN with production by Aniplex and all the actual hard work done by SHAFT, Inc. Kizumonogatari's story is a prequel to the first series and will apparently focus more on Shinobu Oshino, the blond-haired vampire who appears to be a young girl, but is actually a formerly fearsome 500-year-old nightstalker. By the way, a "kizumono" in Japanese spoiled or damaged goods, which seems a perfect description for Shinobu.
Greenlighted somehow, doesn't sound right...
Can't open your Spoiler Warning.
Bakemonogatari was a strange series for me but entertaining in it's own right. What's the second season then if Kizumonogatari is the third installment?
Ah ok, I thought I missed something. This all seems very intresting just with possibly having the same animation style as Bakemonogatari.
Any news on the format? I'm betting a series of 4 or 5 OVA's :)
Bakemonogatari is on my list of anime to watch, but have not started it yet because I'm going through Evangelion and following a few of the summer anime at the moment, but I've heard good things and can't wait to get around to it!
