I'm liking this significantly more than Bakemonogatari.

>>141406752
I heard this was to be expected.

>>141406752
Nah, just horny

The final episode is hype as fuck, and not just because it's about mai waifu

It's underrated. I liked it a lot, I still prefer Bake but it had some excellent parts.

Most people just remember the toothbrush and bathtub scenes and somehow forget all the other good stuff.

>>141406752
makes sense, karen and tsukihi are the best monogatari girls

>>141406752
Nise is the most shamelessly self-indulgent of the monogataris, but it does also have some good scenes and storylines.

It also marks the transition to the slightly more polished, slightly less experimental style that was to become the default Monogatari "look."

It's a meme to shit on it for the shameless fanservice but I was legitimately impressed with how many levels the "imitation" motif worked across the narrative.
Episode 1 is one of my favorite episodes in the series with how well Araragi and Hachikuji play off each other.
Kaiki is a great villain and turns into an even better character later.
And you can't go without mentioning the reconciling with Shinobu.

I don't know if Bake was overhyped to me or what, but I really didn't feel anything when I watched it

the art and presentation are interesting but that's about it. the characters were boring, all they do is talk in long-winded jokes or metaphors or non-sequiturs

You've been an idiot since you were conceived so don't worry about that.

I remember that I finished watching the series after Nisemonogatari back in 2013 because I thought that it's the last season

I just rewatched it and I'm loving every second of it. The artstyle, dialogue and characters are awesome. There's a little bit too much fanservice but it's okay.

Should I watch in this order?
>Bake
>Nise
>Neko:Kuro
>Second Season
>Hana
>Tsuki
>Owari
>Koyomi
>Kizu

>>141409787
Don't forget about Ore Monogatari and Katanagatari

>>141406752
Liking either already means you're an idiot.

It introduces some of the best characters in the entire series.
It's also my favorite season.

Which subs should I watch for this?

Just finished bake.

>>141409966
Well it's not for smart people, it just requires a specific kind of humor and a little bit of patience to enjoy it. Being smart helps too, but it's not a requirement.

>>141410022
coalgirls is good, I like commie subs but I'm also a moron so idk

>>141409966
hidamari is smarter than monogatari.


is this true?

>>141410022
Coalgirls

>>141410085
Probably.

I like Bake the most out of all to be honest, because it works as a standalone story so well. Not to say that other season are bad, but Bakemonogatari holds a special place in my heart.

>>141406752
Nisemonogatari has the best animation quality in the entire series, and while Tsukihi Phoenix is very rushed, I think it's one of the stronger seasons as a whole, seeing as Second Season tends to be very uneven.

>>141406752
It's more polished in terms that is has all of that bake money on it, and it's literally made for people who liked the characters in bake, as it has lot's of fanservice from them and many lighthearted conversations with them, it's pretty happy fun times in general. The sisters story while not amazing still has some really neat stuff in it, like the introduction of the other oddities hunters, the many plays with the theme of imitation and some really well animated but also a little poorly adapted fights. In the end if you liked the characters from bake and doesnt hate the sisters nise can be as fun or more than bake, but if you just want a concise and tense story then you will leave disappointed.

>>141409966
It's not that it's for smart people, but if you are dumb you probably wont like it, that doesnt go both ways though.

Hidamari is one of the few shows I remember dropping indignantly, because I wasted 4 episodes waiting for it to pick up, and episode 5 was literally "MC has a cold. Watch her stare at walls". Fuck that entire franchise.

Because it was only about his sister's and Kaiki, Kaiki being a con artist, Tsukihi being his fake sister and Karen faking her motivation. He rejects 2 and accepts one just to maintain the status quo instead of accepting change.

Bake had 5 girls and Oshino but it was less preachy.

My favorite arc of the whole series was probably Hitagi End. Specifically Kaiki interacting with purple joke girl.

Is Koyomimonogatari worth watching at all? Why is Kizu only coming to home video in practically August?

>>141411764
Mayoi Jiangshi continues to be the highlight of the series for me. It felt like an episode of Rick & Morty.
>Shin & 'Ragi

>>141411764
Koyomi is hit and miss, although you absolutely need to watch the last episode to understand what's going on in Mayoi Hell.

>>141406752
No it's actually all good and you were memed.

>>141410085
It's a reasonable time frame for a new novel to be released in and I'd be surprised if Nademonogatari didn't have Nadeko in it since it's spelled with the same kanji as her name. Well, I wouldn't be too surprised if Nisio intentionally made the name misleading.

>>141411764
Definitely watch the final 2 episodes as they contain new plot. Koyomi torus (episode 7?) is also just plain great.

>>141414498
also koyomi water (Ep 4) for zoku owari

>>141406752
Eh, I thought Nise went too trippy.

Monogatari Season 2 has Hasegawa as the main character, so look forward to that.

No, Nise is the best Monogatari, even outside of the fanservice scenes.

>>141414920
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

S2 > Owari > Tsuki > Koyomi > Nise > Bake > Hana > Neko

>>141406752
Its entirely taste, I had probably the most fun with Nise but thats mostly because Bake had already introduced me to the characters

Bake > Nise > Koyomi
The rest are right

>Am I just an idiot?

You are most definitely a horse-deer.

>>141409787
The answer is always - without exception - release order.

>>141417689
The only question is anime release order or novel release order.

>>141418784
If you are watching the anime, anime release order.
If you are reading the novel, novel release order.

>>141418937
I'm pretty sure Shaft didn't intend for Kizu to come out 4 years late though.

>>141406752
I'm afraid so.

>>141420373
Tsuki wasn't fantastic

I want to re watch Bake, which subs do you recommend?

>>141425385
If you don't know Japanese, there is no real point in watching any part of this series

>>141406752
you just like fanservice more

>>141417464
Good taste. I might actually put Owari behind Tsuki, because that last half wasn't so hot.

>>141406752
Honestly, kind of. Nise is worse, but it's not bad at all, it's just that the fanservice is dialed to 11.

>>141426985
Why is that bad?

>>141427081
Honestly, it gets to the point where it detracts from the series a little. It's high quality fanservice though.

It's not as bad as, say, Kenichi, but it really is excessive.

>>141427155
But how does it detract from anything?

It's understandable, you get to meet second best girl.

bake = 7/10
nise = 8/10
neko = 6/10
SS = 8/10

(I stopped watching here)

>>141423832
Tsuki had the best fanservice in the series though.

Also you are probably an idiot too but that is irrelevant to this conversation.

I understand that a lot of the phrases used are ones generally used to describe the show, but please don't tell me you think it's funny. Aren't you the one that's new?

I liked that Nisemonogatari was so unabashedly sexual unlike Bakemonogatari which was only mildly sexual and had this constant air of trying to not be immature.

They embraced it the second time around and I appreciate it.

>>141432376
But how is that different than the other one? They're both the same unfunny joke.

There's more fanservice and I can't say I enjoyed it any less than the other parts of Monogatari, but at the end of the day once you're finished with it, you realize that nothing much *happened* in it besides character interaction that might further make you like certain characters (like based RRG) and the introduction of Kaiki and Yozuru.

What was the Nadeko Medusa one called? Owarimonogatari? It's definitely one of the best arcs.

>>141434753
Otori

>>141434831
Thanks anon. One of my favorites.

>>141406752
No you just have good taste.

Should I watch Commie or Coalgirls for Owarimonogatari?

>>141439568
Commie for memes.
Coalgirls for bloat and mediocrity.

>>141439568
Commie did owari well.
CR subs were sometimes painful.

I loved episode 7 of Nise, one of my favourite Monogatari episodes. The music when they face off with Kaiki is amazing.
