From what I have read, Kizumonogatari is a prequel for Bakemonogatari, and the
movie is reported to be scheduled for fall 2013.

However, _Monogatari Series: Second Season_ was just released this summer
(2013), and is still ongoing, so I thought this movie might not be released
(again) this fall.

Have they delayed it again?

There is currently no release date for Kizumonogatari. It was listed for Fall
2013, but was removed, so there's no official release date yet.

[It's #happening!](http://www.kizumonogatari-movie.com/)

On October 4, 2015, [Shaft
announced](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-10-03/kizumonogatari-
confirmed-as-3-films-starting-on-january-8/.93757) that Kizumonogatari will be
released - not as a single film, but as a 3-film series: _Tekketsu_ ,
_Nekketsu_ , and _Reiketsu_. These are the three adjectives that Koyomi uses
to describe Kiss-Shot, meaning "iron and blood" (as in
[Bismarck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_and_Iron_\(speech\))), "hot-
blooded" (emotional, impassioned), and "cold-blooded" (cold, calculating),
respectively.

The first movie, _Tekketsu_ , premieres on January 8, 2016. There's [a new
PV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdtWrE9bF8) out for it, distinct from
[the old PV from back in 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT0uCAwLnjA).
Premiere dates for the second and third parts are as yet unknown.

There is actually [a list of theaters in
Japan](http://www.toho.co.jp/theater/ve/kizumonogatari/) that will be airing
_Tekketsu_ , so I think we can rest assured that this is not an elaborate
Shaftian trolling effort.

At the time _Tekketsu_ was announced, no information about outside-Japan
airings of the film was made available. However, Aniplex, which is the
producer for the _Monogatari_ series, has been fairly good about securing
outside-Japan airings for its past films, most notably the three _Madoka_
movies. So there is hope.
