should i be reading the text that flashes by in bakemonogatari?

No, it's only there to make the anime look deeper than it actually is. Some faggots seem to enjoy Shaft's shenanigans and I don't really understand why. Different strokes for different folks I suppose

Better question: Should I read the novels? What about the Kizumonogatari novel Vertical released?

>>142472988
Exactly. You're just a different kind of faggot.

If it were really important it wouldn't flash past so fast.

damn.

Probably not but I do it anyways. Some of it is really good. I think its stuff they cut out, but "this is where they'd put it if they animated it."

Should I read the novel first and after watch the movie or watch the movie first and read the novel after?

>>142474547
The movie isn't out, so the novel.

Not every creative decision is about being DEEP.
It's pretty arguable whether "depth" has to be the ultimate goal for any kind of entertainment or art anyway.

Considering not even one of the three movies are out yet, just read the book.
