Synopsis

Second season of the Monogatari Series, part 1/2. Contains the arcs Tsubasa Tiger, Mayoi Jiangshi, Nadeko Medusa, Shinobu Time, and Hitagi End, from the Nekomonogatari White, Kabukimonogatari, Otorimonogatari, Onimonogatari and Koimonogatari light novels, respectively. These stories take place after the end of the summer vacation when the apparition of the bee had left and the apparition of the phoenix avoided any consequences… Now that Koyomi Araragi and the girls were entering their new school terms, they were once again about to encounter supernatural beings…but this time, they may not be so easy to deal with. Tsubasa Hanekawa, Mayoi Hachikuji, Nadeko Sengoku, Shinobu Oshino, and finally Hitagi Senjougahara. The girls’ loneliness, their confessions, and their departures… 5 new “stories” begin now. (Source: Aniplex) Notes: Includes 3 recap episodes from the TV version (Ep. 6, 11, 16). The recap episodes were not included in the Blu-Ray version of the anime.

RedCometRedComet100/100

The greatest entry in the Monogatari franchise, and the fruition of protagonist Koyomi's growth into maturity.

Here we are, my pick for the greatest entry in the Monogatari series. While Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari introduce each of the characters and gives viewers a charmingly bizarre introduction to Koyomi and his group of supernatural friends, Second Season pushes these previously established relati…

A fantastic entry in the series. Nisio outdoes himself by utilizing First Season's foundations to their fullest.

# __Spoilers ahead for all of Second Season__ A prime example of how imaginative and unique Nisio can really be with his writing. All the concepts and characters built up within the first season come to a head, each going some different, bizarre direction that the viewer may have never expected. A…

WHO WANTS SOME MORE SWEET MONOGATARI

#~~~~~__ Absolutely no spoilers present__~~~~~ The Monogatari Series is no doubt a phenomenal series (as made crystal clear by its massive cult following). To be more precise though, it is _overall_ a fantastic series. There is a variation of brilliance in each arc. Bakemonogatari specializes in ar…

“People have to save themselves. One person saving another is impossible.” – Meme Oshino

Preliminary: The order by appearance(anime) is: Bake -> Nise -> NekoKuro -> 2nd season(NekoShiro) ->Kizu. The chronological order, however, is: Kizu -> NekoKuro -> Bake -> Nise -> 2nd series(NekoShiro). In principle, however, the order doesn't make too much of a difference as long as you watch Nisem…
