The tone shifts at a moment's notice, with the OST and the animation style as its indicators, keeping it from becoming monotonous. Readers of the book know that there's a very long talk scene in this movie (after the one I was just alluding to), meaning that Shaft has to pull out all their Monogatari tricks to keep the viewer's eyes open. "This scene is where the transition was complete." I don't want to go into further detail because I don't want to force my interpretation on you, but the takeaway from this paragraph is this: Araragi's character arc in Kizu is very cleverly done, making use of both female leads, who themselves have character arcs. My belief is that it's intended as a delineator between pre- and post-Kizu Araragi. You know how Kizu has been devoid of the signature Araragi narration that pervades the main series? It comes back after a certain scene in this movie.
But this is a review for Reiketsu, so I'll quickly move on to why that's important here and now. This relied on buildup from the previous two movies - through them, the viewer and Araragi had to come to like Kissshot. In Reiketsu, we see the effect Kissshot had on him.
In Nekketsu, we saw him learn the joy of true friendship when Hanekawa obstinately stuck by him where any sane human wouldn't have. The question, though, is this: what happened in Kizu to change him so dramatically? There were Spoilers for those movies, obviously.Īnyone who's seen the main Monogatari series can tell you that the difference between pre-Kizu Araragi and post-Kizu Araragi is like night and day. Thank you!Īs perfect as they were, I almost regret giving the other two movies tens, for now I have no numerical way of showing that this one is far superior to even them. Please stop asking me where you can download it, because I don't know.
