_Kizumonogatari_ is a movie based on a story of the same name in _Monogatari
Series_ light novel, which is part of First Season before _Nisemonogatari_. I
don't even remember when it was supposed to air, probably two or three years
ago. After the delay, they kept producing other stories in _Monogatari Series_
like _Monogatari Series: Second Season_ , _Hanamonogatari_ and
_Tsukimonogatari_.

Why did they put it off for so long? If it was because of [production issue,
like _Hanamonogatari_](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/17272/why-
did-they-air-all-four-tsukimonogatari-episodes-in-one-day), why did they keep
producing another _Monogatari Series_ but not _Kizumonogatari_?

Why have they been delaying Kizumonogatari for so long?


There's no doubt to the popularity of the Monogatari series that fans are
clamoring for Kizu, but since it was delayed by production AND the immense
popularity of Madoka Magika, what's probably happening now is that
Kizumonogatari is likely being planned to be released towards the end of the
franchises finale, as a reflective issue.

No source for info, just an observation and estimation. Tsukimonogatari marks
the beginning of the end of the series, the final arc so it should be within
this year that we hear news about it.
