Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu

Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu (2016) is a Studio Shaft anime film you can watch online on iFILM. On the last day of term, high-schooler Koyomi Araragi stumbles onto a dying vampire.

She lies in a spreading pool of blood on an empty subway platform — a stunning blonde with a cold stare and no arms or legs. This is Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, a creature who has lived for centuries. To save her, Koyomi offers his own blood and stops being human. His spring break turns into a hunt for her stolen limbs and a run of brutal fights with vampire hunters.

The first chapter of a trilogy drawn from Nisio Isin's novels, Tekketsu pushes Shaft's signature look to feature length: jagged frames, acid color, editing that never sits still. At barely over an hour it's a prologue — dense, fast, soaked in red. Best for fans of the Monogatari series and anyone who likes their anime violence drawn beautifully.
