Along with the premiere of MONOGATARI Series: OFF & MONSTER Season last night, the series released not only a brand new character trailer but the creditless ending theme animation set to YOASOBI’s “Undead.” The character trailer features the mathematician Sodachi Oikura, who continues to be voiced by Marina Inoue (Armin Arlert in Attack on Titan).
Midori Yoshizawa (Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story) is directing MONOGATARI Series: OFF & MONSTER Season at studio SHAFT under the supervision of Akiyuki Shinbo, who serves as chief director as well as co-series composer with writer Fuyashi Tou. Akio Watanabe also returns as character designer and chief animation director. The series began on July 6 with the Orokamonogatari storyline.
Crunchyroll streams the previous Monogatari TV anime series’ multiple seasons and will stream OFF & MONSTER Season as it airs, describing the new series as such:
Spring break, an interval of time between the second and third year of high school. Koyomi Araragi encounters a blood-chillingly beautiful woman. The iron-blooded, hot-blooded, cold-blooded Vampire, she calls herself “Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.” On the brink of death after losing her four limbs, she asks Koyomi to save her. After experiencing fear, chaos, and finally conflict, Koyomi gives his own blood in order to save her. But when he awakens, he finds himself re-born as her vampire kin. Koyomi wishes to revert to being a human from a vampire. However, he must take back all of Kiss-shot’s limbs to do so. Working as a negotiator, Meme Oshino stands in middle ground as Koyomi attempts to recapture her four limbs by challenging three powerful vampire hunters. This hellish spring break, the final one of his high school life, is only just beginning.
