The narrative dives deep into the themes of sacrifice, identity, and the struggle between humanity and monstrosity.

The vivid imagery and intricate character development ensure that the story resonates long after the final page is turned. Reiketsu delivers a satisfying and thought-provoking conclusion to a saga that has captivated fans with its blend of the fantastical and the deeply human.

Nice movie overall but Nekketsu hen was better imo, Im a bit sad that the ost wasnt as it was in the 2 first movies, and oh my god araragi is the worst, anyway had a good time, can't wait to watch the next monogatari novel adaptation. The film was absolutely great. It starts right off the bat where Part II left off with Araragi having his doubts about whether collecting Kiss Shots was truly worth it or not given how his battles were easily won. The conversation between Kiss Shot and Araragi was nice too, the VA's really gave it their all. It's just top notch voice acting imo.

Of course, I lol'd at the scene where Araragi and Hanekawa were in a room full of gym equipment. It didn't take long for a lewd conversation to start, with Araragi asking Hanekawa to do him the favor of letting him grope her breasts all because he thought he'd be at a disadvantage if he were distracted by Kiss Shots breasts.

The scene where he imagined all the things he'd say and do to Hanekawa was hilarious as hell since he never had the willpower to do that in the first place and instead opted for massaging her shoulders.

Now the final fight between Araragi and Kiss Shot was a real treat. SHAFT placed their all with such crisp and fluid movements. Scenes like Araragi having his head pop off only for it to return as a baby's face before it returned to normal was a nice touch too, just a lot of funny moments during that fight. The soundtrack was good too, not many different tracks but it was good enough to set the mood for some scenes.

Overall I loved it. 10/10 imo. I'm so glad I got to see my favorite series on the big screen, it was just a fantastic experience. It was a solid adaptation from SHAFT and I'm glad they made it in this format.

As the nature of every non-linear story, Monogatari can be very confusing. Now throw a lot of post modern art, symbolism, metaphors, and wordplay on a very subjective language to that and you'll have a very dense story, the kind that only appears once in a lifetime. If you're able to see through all the layers of 'animeism' of the series, this movie will give you gossebumps from start to end as it becomes the best way to both start and end a journey. A true lesson on how to manage non-linear narratives.

Once you finish watching the last movie of the trilogy, you will finally know how complex a situation can develop. And sometimes having everyone disatisfied can be the best choice out of satisifying a single party individually. A dedicated movie shown for the all the detail anime fans. This will explain all the vital information missing in the Anime TV shows. All in all, this is a must see movie for all anime fans.

A beautifully, extraordinarily well animated love-story of a movie that shows how hot Hanekawa, Kiss-shot and Araragi were before Bakemonogatari.

At times very deep and heart-touching, and at other's, laugh-out funny!

Loved it! Especially for Hanekawa and Araragi's romance!
