Am I supposed to watch Monogatari at half speed or just keep

I actually pause because I'm autistc but it's actually just subliminal messaging. Trying to get you to associate certain colors with certain moods and characters and it might be sort of detrimental to you viewing experience to actually study the exact color frames in detail.

It's mostly just flavor and you don't lose much by skipping it. Still my autism commands me to pause for every bit of text.

Just develop faster pausing reflexes.

>>158541750
>>158541841
My autism is telling me to pause too, but I don't think watching this will be enjoyable at all if I need to keep pausing.

>>158541981
Watch it once without pausing and then again with pausing.

The answer is to read the books, as the text is just parts of the books they didn't feel like animating or voicing.

>>158541981
Wasn't a problem for me, I was enjoying every bit of it. If it is a problem for you, just watch without pausing.

>>158542133
this

Try to read as much as you can without pausing, but don't worry too much about it.

>>158542133
This right here is it. It's just excerpts from the book. The only time the flashes are super relevant is usually at the start of Bakemonogatari's arcs in which you get a good idea of stuff like how Araragi knew of Kanbaru since he went to one of her game's once with some acquaintances etc.

>>158542133
This. To be honest, Monogatari is one of the few instances when I'd personally suggest LNs over adaptation. It's amazing how much of the important shit they cut.

>>158543308
>>158542897
I thought about doing that, but I want to watch an anime, not read something today.
Thanks for the answers though.

If you are using MPC and lots of consecutive still frames concession have info dumps in them, just pause at the first one and press CTRL+right arrow key to move through frames.

>>158541332
it's just a nip jerkoff cartoon so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it, just try to read as much as you can watching it.
if anything you'll develop good subtitle reading skills so you can watch subtitled anime in the background as the former noise while doing something actually useful with your time

>>158544203
I'm watching it without pauses until the text stops (only really bothering to read the massive textdumps at the start of each episode), then I go back and watch it at 0.25~0.5 speed. It's pretty readable at that speed

You don't watch it because the series is trash. They don't call it Redditgatari for no reason. If I wanted to read a book I'd read a LN.

Watch it at 2x speed while having 4 windows of 4 different episodes at once.

>>158544456
I'm watching it more because I have been listening to some of the OPs a lot than about looking for a really good show.

So I'm just about to start Owarimonogatari, and the order of storytelling so far forces me to ask: It does get around to explaining whatever the fuck Gaen needed Monkey for and what the hell happened to Araragi immediately before the end of the Tiger arc, right?

>>158545266

It's pretty easy to set up a script to do that if you know your ffmpeg options well. I'm sure there's a template out there too.

>>158541332
After a while you get a sense for when it's going to have something flash by and train your eyes on where it'll be. That's usually enough to catch the gist. The longer ones, not so much.

It worked at that time, but once they decided to make a full version of Kizu and extend it over three movies they couldn't really keep it that short and simple.

>>158541332
You can pause of you want to, or you can just keep watching. That's the point.

>>158545266
>people watching this shit on TV didn't have a pause button
You do realise that Monogatari is a 2010s show? What kind of modern TV service doesn't come with a pause button? Not to mention that most of the series is comprised of ONAs, OVAs and movies.

>>158550478
2009, to be specific. Even before then they were advocating pausing, though, see >>158545183. I guess people without DVR just had to record it their own way.

Yeah I know, pretty much my only gripe was with the unnecessary baby crying noise when Kiss-shot was crying when Arararararagi was backing away from her, that was too heavy handed and felt out of place.

It was a response to the "too much time" part. It doesn't actually take that much time if you know what you're doing.

>>158550758
You have to be an autist with too much time to "know your ffmpeg options", though.

>>158550682
Snake is an actual charcter and not just a shitty joke that only appears occasionally, so she already has both sisters beat regardless.
Gaen is at least useful to the plot and has a distinct personality, to the point that sh'es literally the only girl Araragi dislikes.

Its just excerpts from the books. You're meant to catch a word or two from it for a subliminal message kind of effect.

If you want the full version just read the books.

>>158541750
I pause it too. I thought the text was excerpts from the manga.

There is a bit of elaboration on the dialogue here and there and some of the big blocks of text are interesting stories/dialogue. None of it is necessary material but I don't regret having paused to read it. The series is extremely well done with a lot of attention to detail.

>>158542133
Are the books translated well? I don't normally pick up LN but I might for this series.

Go pick up the LN instead if you're just gonna read it. Anime is for the pleasure of eyes.

When you distill it down to such a basic level like that you can make the same claim of any show.

At least Shaft's unique style in this regard is different from those static characters, in static stationary perspectives talking in static ways, Monogatari has those unique quirks (tilting heads, close ups, close up on eyes, etc) that make it fun to watch compared to a similar show with less dynamic and interesting character interactions, plus the action scenes when they happen are always great, fluid and intense.

Watch it in the dark, ideally on a DLP projector, you get an afterimage.
