I'm like all the other anime reviewers except I (try to) post waifus in Church every Sunday
You should (Not) watch Monogatari
Should you watch the Monogatari Series? It's a classic contender for the title of Greatest Anime of All Time. It's also really weird and "problematic". Is this anime an artistic masterpiece or just pretentious garbage? Yes. So definitely watch it. Or don't. That is my definitive recommendation. The conclusion to this review.
Honestly, I'm just making this video because Monogatari Off & Monster Season are coming out. Or am I lying? Who can say... At the very least, I'll keep this one spoiler free.

It's about depression and overcoming your own inner trauma. That's it. That's the one sentence answer. I could expand on that, but we'd be going into philosophical pontification at that point.
love it!
Wonder if they'll be a third season
I think they probably will make another, but idk if anything has been confirmed

These retrospectives are good
is the dub good?
I highly recommend rewatching the series in the novel order if you havent already. I know you say you prefer shaft's order, but a lot of theming is missed. Without Kizu, Araragi and Shinobu's relationship is vague for most of the series, whereas with Kizu it becomes a very clean development - among other things. Hana after Koi messes with the thematic development of second season - so much that I believe Shaft order is the reason Hana is less popular than other arcs. Not to mention it turns a certain "oh haha" moment into a "huh? what?" moment. Koyomi in the middle of Owari is the most acceptable of the reorders, but personally I find it sets up Owari 1 just as much as Owari 2, and the Owari 1 finale becomes much more direct. It isn't too difficult to organize based on arcs as long as you pay attention to the names of the arcs as you watch them. If a new viewer can't figure out how to follow a watch order, I imagine they'd struggle with the show as a whole much more.
03 has so much more grit and horror than brotherhood. And i feel like it makes the vibes totally different (i like the grit/darkness better 🥲)
I started monogatari because I was curious about what renai circulation was from and then I continued because of the whiplash I got when araragi got his mouth stapled
😮
You know you are a monogatari fan if you pause the video to read up the high IQ meme @8:41 out of reflex, even though you already know it by heart.
Shaft's Messed Up Order With Zero Contingencies = Chaotic Fun I have yet to rewatch in the proper Novel Order Chronological Order isn't even a question, drop that thought Maybe once all novels have been published and adapted Nisio somehow keeps coming up with more books A supercut of sequences in a linear fashion would work I can picture a 5 minutes long vid covering major jumps Yet a compilation of questionable content should still be longer Best anime of all time, brilliant in every single aspect 11/10, it's nurture for the brain, makes you appreciate art
Monogatari is one of my all-time favorites. In recent years I feel Yofukashi no Uta captured some of the artistic animation along with witty banter, if you like the Monogatari franchise, I'd give it a shot.
I would say the story is about depression and lack of self worth, and learning to overcome that.
"When the edgy anime is good." Like it's always been? Anyone who watched anime in the 80s and 90s knows this is what anime does best.
I agree. The shlock from the 80s and 90s is usually good
Born to be a monogatari fan. Forced to go: wtf is this shit 😭 Jokes aside doe. I had a blast watching this show and had an even greater time reading the manga adaptation of it when 2020 lockdown happened.
I remember getting into Monogatari because of an amv using Into The Labyrinth by Kraddy, it was just so amazing looking, and i liked the design of the characters, and i think because i just watched The World God Only Knows, which i believe do have the same designers?? Or just have very similarities. Once i went down the Monogatari rabbit hole i just went deeper and deeper. And it was just when Second Season was starting to air, so that was like 11 years ago, which dang. And i have mostly been on the internet using this name for majority of my accounts cuz i just really liked Araragi, i dont necessarily live and breathe Monogatari, but it is always on my radar of like having to get into when new things come up which is why for me as an anime only Off and Monster season was my hype for the year. I am collecting the manga as well, and i have the light novels, i did read Kizu right before the movies came out as that was the first light novel released.
Weird how you can make an okay anime sound likes it is the best thing ever.
Blood C was really Corny IMO
Yooooo thanks algoritm for that recommedion of video. I wanna improve my english so this is good (im brazillian) Basically my "monogatari" of this show its just my friends forcing watch the first ep of bake (im fifteen so they thought I would be bored) and you know? Love for the first echi cof cof I mean, im in nonoki arc ( I watch the films) and have intend to watch whole series including off and monster season. One tip is watch with your friends (If you have and they watch the entire fucking series its kinda fun) Great video bro. Senjogahara supremacy
I finally got around to giving it a go a couple of weeks ago. My god was I disappointed. My best advice is that if you don't like the show in the first ten minutes you should drop it. Here's some impressions from the first four episodes. Why is this purple haired girl such a b****? My god, please just put some clothes on so we can get moving. This ADHD art direction is so aggravating. Oh, the character for snail contains the character for cow. Good for you. Oh, she just said enema. Can't imagine why that was worth it. Great, now there's a ten year old girl that is also disagreeable. She seems pretty self-assured; let's leave her to it. Oh god, he didn't listen. Oh god, wtf is he doing now? Many of the defenses of the series that I hear involve paying extremely close attention and/or watching dozens of episodes to pick up on subtle, nuanced detail. But I never saw the series do anything to earn that kind of dedication. Maybe it does it in the dialog if you can speak Japanese?
As much as I like this show I can't help but imagine how much better it would be without Araragi, and the girls bounced off each other instead, it also reminds me of a manhwa girls of the wild, it could be so much more if it got rid of the harem bs and just lived off the great characters
Yes I did. It was good.
Dang it, I've only seen Monogatari through once. I've been meaning to watch it again for the last 4 years. With the new season coming out, it seems like the best time to watch it again.
First episode of new season was good, also episode 1 was a bit longer than a normal ep, idk about later ep since they aren’t released yet
Don't forget the music... unforgettable tunes
Damn your voice is pleasure to listen to
22:15 - Yes. The moment it became 'Blade Runner meets Buffy'. Seriously, it should have conquered all after that.
So its not for cry baby tourists? Count me in!
The reason why monogatari needs to tell, is because most of the tell is monologues
Nina hits so much harder in FMA 2003
Ever since Bake dropped in 2009 its been my favourite series and also one if my least recommended. If I talk about Bake to others I just say its wild and wacky and also artsy and hope that catches their attention enough to give it a try. Takes a certain type of disposition to like Monogatari
There is a clear destination though
Man, I couldn't agree with you more
Araragi literally saved me from bad shows :(
I really love monogatari so much, I watched it for the first time when I was maybe 11 or 12 and it completely changed everything about my tastes in anime another thing I love so much about it, is it feels like it was almost made for me, because I relate to all the characters so much and, it feels like, as you said, it has so much things about it that at least one of them is bound to put most people off, but none of them did so for me, I don't think there is anything that I dislike about it, like at all, everything about it feels perfect and there is nothing I would change about it
For me it's about people confronting and overcoming their own traumas.
0:23 ngl the delivery was top😂
Videazo soltando verdades sobre deidadgatari. Gran edicion por cierto 😎
Took me a while but I finally noticed why the girl on the right looked so familiar. Her pose was inspired by one of Nazuna Nanakusa from Yofukashi no Uta.
...that's a dude (Dio)
"Still amazing despite the degeneracy" Nah, lets be honest with ourselves, it's amazing because the degeneracy. Plus Shinobu best girl
Your going to make a lot of people mad with that opinion I feel like, most people like senjogohara the most I think, from what I hear, either that or Kaiki
This and Witch Hunter Robin were fun lmao. Miss the vibes these sorts of anime gave me. The newer series right now don’t have the same feelings for sure.
Check out "Haibane Renmei", "Ergo Proxy" and "Texhnolize", unless you're depressed, or suicidal. The latter hitting the hardest.
No inc*est garbage no pe*do garbage no massive boobs and butts getting half the animation budgets no wasting 6 episodes explaining a single move or spell... This anime is a god send after the ABYSMAL anime traunwreck we have been having the past 15 years. It has heart it has action it has funny moments it has everything.
Monogatari is an almost impossible recommendation, but every time i find someone that watched the entire thing i'm really happy about it. Because if takes a great commitment to watch the entire thing, and uf you do yo are gonna love it.
That's a huge fan of Captain harlock I can tell you that he's never works well as the main character of a story. It's always other people and how they react to him. This makes Captain row the only real Captain harlock clone I've ever seen.
lo unico q puedo decir es q el video estan bien editado y da las vibras de literal la serie buena edicion bro
Now for a challenge for everyone in the comments: Ever noticed monogatari has no background characters? Explain why under this comment...
Don't know. Couldn't get invested anywhere near enough to care about the background.
