Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu (傷物語I 鉄血篇 Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen?) is a 2016 Japanese animated youth horror film directed by Tatsuya Oishi and produced by Shaft.[2][1][3] It is based on the light novel Kizumonogatari, a prequel to Bakemonogatari and part of the Monogatari series of light novels written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by Vofan.[4] It was released in Japan on January 8, 2016. It will be followed by Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen, scheduled for release in the summer of 2016.

Plot

Koyomi Araragi, a second year high school student at Naoetsu High School, befriends Tsubasa Hanekawa, the top honors student at his school. Tsubasa mentions a rumor about a “blonde vampire” that has been sighted around their town recently. Koyomi, who is usually anti-social, takes a liking to Tsubasa’s down-to-earth personality.

That evening, Koyomi encounters this rumored vampire: she is Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, also known as the “King of Apparitions.” The blonde, golden-eyed 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 Koyomi to give her his blood in order to save her life, and when he does, the very next moment he awakes, Koyomi finds himself re-born as her vampire kin.
