Synopsis
Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu (2016) is the second chapter of Shaft's animated film trilogy — watch it online on iFILM. Based on Nisio Isin's light novel, the film continues from where Part 1 left off: Koyomi Araragi has been turned into a vampire and the only road back to being human runs through three powerful vampire hunters — Dramaturgy, Episode, and Guillotinecutter.
Each fight costs Koyomi more than he bargained for. The action sequences are deliberately brutal, and the film doesn't shy away from showing what it actually means to lose a limb and get it back. Directors Tatsuya Oishi and Akiyuki Shinbo bring the same hyper-stylized visual language as the first part, but the tone here is darker and the stakes land harder.
Hiroshi Kamiya and Maaya Sakamoto lead the voice cast, and their performances carry the emotional weight between the set pieces. For anyone who already follows the Monogatari series, Part 2 is where the trilogy starts paying off in earnest. Stream Kizumonogatari Part 2: Nekketsu (2016) online on iFILM.
