Also we love snake here

Did a rewatch lately.

Did ya'll ever realize Nisemonogatari was the best one?

>>53288 Did you also come to the conclusion that the series peaked at the beginning and everything after season 2 isn't that good? >>53320 I liked Nise but I think it definitely falls short compared to bake and 2nd season. It's better than everything afterwards though

>>53325 >Did you also come to the conclusion that the series peaked at the beginning and everything after season 2 isn't that good? I enjoyed the whole thing overall, I only did a rewatch of 2 first seasons and Hanamonogatari though. Kaiki is best girl.

The Monogatari series is great, question though. Which is Shaft's second best show/series?

>>53270 But it's the most rewatchable anime that has ever existed. >>53286 You're goddamn right we do! >>53352 Zetsubou sensei.

I'm on my 3rd re-watch atm. I always liked Nise a lot but i think i like it even more now.

>>53270 Yes, i distinctinctly remember thinking >This clearly sucks, so why do i want to watch more of it? It forced me to reconsider what makes an anime good.

>>53338 Kaiki Best Girl

I feel so stupid for not noticing that Kagenui's theme is in both these tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj1el_AJHoA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXmYDsC7B8c

>>53325 No but the style declines for sure. That 1st season is unmatched

Monogatari is filler for Kaiki arcs and Kaiki arcs are filler for Kaiki + Nadeko arcs.

>>53325 Nise was the first continuation after the no-news period, and it has some good parts like Bake. Later arcs are more frustrating IMO, not something bad and probably the objective of the author (considering his other works). Meanwhile Kizu films... well... nevermind.

>>54200 But the best part about Koi was Kaiki + Senjou.

I like Owari. I like Oikura. I do wonder how they'll adapt Sodachi fiasco.

Final Season is the best part actually.

>>54357 Pits of a girl who doesn't go outside!

Why people like the snek so much? I'd rather pick any other girl in the series (including hags).

>>54428 She's the best and cutest, duh.

>>54505 Elaborate.

>>54428 Every episode Sengoku got, she kept appealing to me more and more as a character when she didn't start off very well with me. That said, she's still far from my favorite. That's barely saying anything for this show though.

>>54588 The only two moment when I liked/related to her was when she 1. shouted at the teacher 2. felt cringe when Kaiki exposed the lewd manga she was drawing. Otherwise she acted like a girl who's defined by her relationship with Araragi rather than her own character.

>>54619 *moments

>>53352 ppd

>>54619 >she acted like a girl who's defined by her relationship with Araragi That was the point. Even by the end of S2 we only get a glimpse of her.

>>53270 you like sex, with kids especially, don't you anon :3?

>>54250 >Later arcs are more frustrating IMO, not something bad and probably the objective of the author (considering his other works) What do his other works suggest about his objective?

>>54619 What about when she drew a hundred naked Nadekos to slither around the library? That was a relatable moment for me.

>>54666 on-topic though

What the heck I had the thread on autorefresh and just assumed there weren't any replies for the last 3h since I know this site is a bit slower. Platinum mad right now

>>54711 This made me realize I did not watch Nademonogatari, did not lurk back when it aired and did not track anime related news.

>>54428 She's one of the most fleshed out characters in the anime. I find her character arc relatable and interesting

>>54740 Nademonogatari was short and sweet.

Such fine literature will never again be put on the animated screen.

>>54849 Did they really localize lolicon as rorikon?

>>54863 heh, nice filter

>>54849 I'd be a huge bookworm if books were this cool back in school.

This thread is more alive than the ones on half chan, what is going on?

>>55232 /a/ was too fast for some series.

>>55232 Maybe it's because I can post something like this here and nobody will stop me.

What was the authors artistic intention here?

>>55284 I have something better

I'm watching this for the first time and the direction is pretty good

>>55646 Are you pausing to read the split second frames or just rolling with it?

>>55884 If it seems interesting or important, I do. I'm guessing they're all supposed to be lines from the ln?

>>55909 Yeah. I just asked because pausing seems to somehow filter a lot of people. It's not that important on a first watch, it just adds to the flavor and character trivia. The series is very re-watchable anyway but a lot of people have no chill.

Good Nadekorning

Nadekomorning kirai!

Kami-sama

>>56713 I love Sodachi so much. I want to listen to her menhera ranting and marry her. I think she would be a great wife and mother despite sometimes having an episode

4chan is up btw. I will still keep this thread up since I made it.

>>58036 It was a good thread, good job anon

>>59619 half chan seems too fast for this b-sama show anyway, most of the gatari threads died there once the show stopped airing. So It's ok.

>>59665 Some series have their own dedicated group of bumpers but most are archived without posts. Generals and a few manga dumps have essentially all the posting activity. If an anime gains momentum it's trolled to death by flooding threads with single topics or off-topics even, especially Monogatari and Mushoku Tensei

I've rarely seen a Monogatari thread focused on analyzing a character or discussing a plot point. It's mostly gatari waifu posting. What i'm trying to say is that it feels like analysis discussions take effort and everyone defaults to declaring their love for the show by just glazing the girls and that is why the threads just seem slow or get buried on 4/a/. On the other hand i may be wrong. Anyway i'm re-watching it now and will be doing Neko-kuro soon. I remember thinking i didn't 100% grasp some of the character reasoning last time (I think it was some line from Koyomi about not liking Tsubasa but i'll have to see). So far, everything up to Nise has been very clear, the show gets better on a re-watch seriously. I missed a lot of stuff back then.

>>59754 Analysis does happen but It's generally something that goes on while the series was running. Even with the new season if you were in the half chan thread you would see quite a lot of talk about character/story/themes. But yes in the end the only ones that truly stick with the show and keep making threads about it are the ones who are obssessed with the girls.

>>59777 Makes total sense. It will forever be weird how there is more discussion to be had in some stupid "Monogatari series reaction" comments section on youtube than here. It is what it is.

>>59754 I was thinking about doing a character-specific rewatch. I never truly understood Hanekawa.

>>59807 Never thought about doing that. No idea if it will work since the whole thing is interconnected and you'd have to remember specific lines but maybe it could work. Hanekawa started making sense to me after watching Kizu, surprisingly enough. Not that there is much in Kizu to be honest, but it felt like i got the context of her situation more clearly. One of the best scenes about Hanekawa to me was the one where she stayed at Senjou's house and they were talking about food. Senjou does her best at analyzing her for us. The arc that escapes me the most is Hanamonogatari. Rouka's whole backstory (with another girl named Rouka?) and Suruga's feelings are not intuitively organized for me yet. Thinking about it, Suruga can be one of the most closed off girls in the show. Outwardly, she seems to be wearing her heart on her sleeve but she has some sort of weird discipline that makes it hard for her to share much of her worries with others. That and relatively low introspective screen-time.

Papaya looping while cleaning. I think Monogatari is gonna consume me this month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiDeUPVNsM

>>56120 I also stop from time to time to read these. Sometimes they feel like shitposts and sometimes they add depth to the scene.

>>60038 I'd argue the shitpost ones are the more interesting on a re-watch.

>>60056 Doll love

>>60056 Kaiki is cute.

>>60097 Kaiki best girl and hidden cute, It would be nice if more antagonist were like him, with the bad side being more misunderstanding and self-interest rather than just "I'm the bad guy"

>halfchan thread died because I was searching for fat Senjougahara picture >didn't find one fuck my shitty crabby life

>>62193 I saw it dying and refused to do anything about it

>>62217 >t Nadeko

>>62857 False, you are in fact the cutest!

>>63357 Short hair Nade is too sexy

It looks like only the bluray version had these new opening songs? It's a bit of a shame since the usually monolithic bluray sales for Monogatari finally started to decline with this season iirc. Unironically what did they mean by >cursetard?

Not sure which animator it is, but if they're trying to give me a hand fetish, it's working.

WHAT THE FUCK. WHO IS THIS. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO IT CAN'T BE WHAT?!

>>64428 WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HERRRR!!! 🤯

nodoko and meth

Bro what.... since when has my wife been able to give such great advice...... she's helping Nadeko so much

>>64430 Cute bakas

>>64433 but math is not baka... she's good at math

Is Zaregoto allowed?

>>64532 Blue Shinobu

>>64532 This was a very cool mystery. I think I read the 2nd novel too but the rest weren't translated? I also enjoyed Umineko.

>>64428 Damn, what did Araragi do to her? She looks like a spinster in her early 40s who's hitting her 3rd 'youth'.

>>64428 10/10 perfect CUTE

The animators really want me to start fapping to hands... >>64574 And it's hot as fuck. >>64686 Yes!!! The best wifey ever.

Beautiful snek

based animators

Good to know subtlety has still been thrown out of the door

>>65611 Needs toothbrush correction.

>>65630 One day...

>>65633 Also one day

>>65634 As of monster/off season do you think she's still in love with the ragi? Just started Nadeko Draw 3 and I'm unsure..

Reaching for doll belly...

>>65635 With Araragi? For me more Monogatari is good enough, it's one of those series that evolves well

>>65638 It's definitely grown in various ways along with the author.

Watching the episode is taking so long because I keep pausing and rewinding. There's so many good shots.

THEY ARRANGED ONE OF THE CUTE OP SONGS INTO A WESTERN GUNSLINGER OST

>>65655 Yotsugi a cute

This is awesome. What a great message. I always disliked when people made fun of and scorned their past selves. Those past selves were also a true you, after all. This is a really nice story. >>65656 piss piss~

These stills are so good.... what the fuck... I'm falling in love with Nadeko for the first time.

>>65657 > I always disliked when people made fun of and scorned their past selves Feel ashamed for the past is ok but "turn the page on it" and isolate it isn't honest, people doesn't changes as much as ignore their own past and reasons behinds it. >tfw it's impossible to discuss the plot of the LN because retards will derail the thread with the same memes in the other IB...

They brought it up...

Wow, that was really good. Can't believe Nisio Isin has been continuing this series that could have ended, for so long, and it still remains interesting. His own brand of discovery writing is a great way to work with long series.

>>65679 Nadeko arc was great and fun to follow weekly but the rest of the season was a letdown Maybe it's better if you binge it

Watanabe is God

>>65906 Smug Nadeko

The new arch only really made me miss yandere Nadeko

Does 8chan know how to "kaka"

>>65910 I love his art style. It's really timeless.

>>65971 Spoonfeed us!

Tsundra smile

>>66197 Hitagi smiling makes me happy

>>66700 Stop liking evil women!

>>66196 >Open up, it's FBIgahara. You don't have any girls in here, do you my beloved partner?

I could be wrong but this scene used when Sodachi is monologuing could be a pretty nice reference to the start of 3-gatsu no lion episode 1, where the same voice actor is talking. Or it's just one director at SHAFT that likes this kind of shot.

>>67193 Fuuuuuuck where's s3?

I like snek.

>>68055 We ALL do...

>>68055 But she is no longer a hot hebe ;_;

>>68055 Stop liking ebil women

>>68074 I refuse. All of the women I like are evil. All women are evil, in fact and not liking evil women makes you a homosexual. This is an irrefutable truth.

>>68144 Araragi... I...

>>67408 The manga content for s3 of 3-gatsu would be pretty high quality too, (it's after that that it gets a little diluted imo), so I really wish they'd come out with it. Maybe they really need money or something? And that's why they brought monogatari back?

>>68055 She looks like a wittle babby with this haircut which is funny because it's the oldest anime-onlies like me have seen her. 👅

>>68259 Thank you for sharing anon, these are great.

>>68753 Cute smoldeko.

BIRTHDAY GIRL BIRTHDAY GIRL WISH THE LITTLE SNAKE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY OR GET BITTEN!

>>69200 happy bday snekkums! don't bite me!

>>69200 Happy Birthday to the serpentine seductress.

>>69212 Does she know how sexy she is...?! That would make her a slut!!! >>69218 Kyoot.

I hadn't seen her for like 5 years but they made me like her a lot more than even before with all these silly expressions.

>>69875 It's impossible for her to not be cute. Shame about the story though, I hate the idea of her becoming a specialist weirdo loser...

>>69953 >It's impossible for her to not be cute You're right! But what do you mean? You don't like her becoming a romance mangaka? What would you rather have had her grow up into?

>>70243 I just wanted her to have a normal life away from the weirdos like Koyomi, instead she's becoming a detective with super powers....

>>70263 O-oh.... I didn't know any of that... I see you're an LNfriend... Did you like her dreams of being a mangaka though?

>>70451 I meant the new arc we got. She's entirely pulled in the world of the supernatural with it being pretty obvious that she will continue to work for Gaen.

This site is impossibly slow huh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=galRbwiSwVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P2QF7ReJQE

>>70889 Then shitpost harder.

>>70889 Hopefully we get more Snail/Bird arcs. Would not mind more Crab as well.

>>70988 Don't know about Bird but Karen Ogre along with Yoimono and Amarimono are the safest bets.

Is there an up to date watch order chart? I forgot where I left off and figure I'll just rewatch everything.

>>71106 This is the chronological order, with obviously the newest season being the very last thing you watch. To be honest release order is also fine, It's how most people watched it as that's the way it aired. But this one makes it less complicated I suppose

>>71108 >chronological order That's the novel release order, which is what you should watch. Anime release order would be fine if not for the Kizu movies. You are missing a lot of context without them for little gain in the mystery department. >>71106 >figure I'll just rewatch everything Yeah that's the way to go with these series. Even if you remember some of the arcs you will notice details or themes again so it won't feel like a waste of time.

I wonder why this site died so hard outside of the gacha threads

Goodbye Summer
