Monogatari is literally the most entry-level series though.

>>158858307
monogatari is nowhere near as entry level as naruto or sao

Is Monogatari the only series whose fanbase is half waifufags and half hipsters?

>>158858362
It's the next step, after those though.

>>158858307
There is a panty shot in the first goddamn seconds.

Most of my normalfag anime friends dropped it after that.

Bake is kinda entry level, but then Nise hits you with all of its "provocative themes" and that tends to keep a lot of normalfags from going further.

>>158857508

That's fine, not everyone has to like everything. Most people don't like Monogatari because they don't like the non-stop talking. In fact I don't know how it became so popular unless most of the popularity came from people who only "watch" it for waifus.

>>158858401
toradora, madoka, attack on titan, code geass, cowboy bebop, haruhi, death note, high school of the dead are all more popular than monogatari in the west.

>>158857508
>haremshit

There is no appeal, it's power fantasy garbage.

>>158858368
Not at all, it's probably just the most popular series whose fanbase is half waifufags and half hipsters. Or atleast it was, it's fallen out of popularity in recent years compared to other things and /a/ shits on it talking to themselves like a broken record at this point.

>>158858307
Most shonen anime is way more popular than Monogatari.

I like the banter and all the engaging conversations in it, as well as the oddity aspect of it. It also helps that literally every character is very likable.

have you ever shown monogatari to a normie? doesn't work bro. this isn't close to entry level. if you get monogatari I think you can have a rookie Otaku card, as far as strange nip japanese shit goes it definately requires some genre savvy and trope knowledge to get. Nothing high level, but I think monogatari represents a solid gateway to true anime otaku fandom. If you can't get it I don't think you can call yourself an otaku (that doesn't mean you have to like it, just that it's so specific in it's humor and aim that you can't be a casual and get this shit)

The series is like the plebfilter after the plebfilter, as in if you like it you are past retardation levels of shit taste but are a pleb nonetheless.

Muh artsy fartsy directing, pretentious plot and of course muh deconstruction of Japanese society and the anime medium with characters you are still going to use and display as the garbage you are criticising, and of course the fans are going to masturbate, shitpost and eat all this shit because since it's "ironic waifufagging" it doesn't count.

Cancer is Latin for crab.

The disease takes the name from the Latin word for ulcer, which itself took to name from how old timey people thought veins near ulcers sometimes looked like crab limbs.

Bakemonogatari is pretty normalfag.
The MC has no personality while still being a Gary Stu and it has easy fanservice that's well animated.
It's low quality writing waifubait and somehow attracts the worst of ironic weebs and shitty people.
It's more of a shit taste filter than a pleb filter because the respectable normalfags won't touch it.

>>158880253
What an easy way to dismiss a post entirely.

The show is meh. The dialogue is interesting, but gets extremely repetitive after a while. The novelty of the pacing wears off quickly. If you're not edging to the show constantly, then the wide cast of female characters really isn't that great. They're a bunch of tropes, and being self-aware about this fact isn't an excuse for boring characters. Plus there is no fucking point to the show. I've watched 3 seasons of it and I still have no idea what the point of the show is. It's a 7/10 show at best, but for some reason people seem to think that ADHD writing is inherently good or something.

>>158887715
If monogatari has as many fans as guilty guilty crown, but guilty crown is only being watched by normalfags while monogatari isnt only being watched by highly intellectual cartoon connoisseurs, then doesnt that automatically mean that those people are normalfags aswell since they are as many, which automatically makes them what we as society consider "normal" (aka the majority)? Check and mate. Monogatari is watched and liked by normalfags, now move the fuck on with your life.

Araragi is a bland loner manlet with literally no personality beyond tsukkomi/pervert who got handed super powers by the plot - and even with super powers he's only good at letting himself get beat up by girls. Literally anyone on /a/ could be Araragi.

People who claim he's not a self-insert are full of shit.

>>158880087
This.

>>158887965
You dont have an argument. You claim that the popularity of a show on a website such as MAL has nothing to do with its appeal to normalfags while, in a different thread, youll very likely refer to MAL as the most normalfag website in anime. Your subjective opinion is irrelevant. The fact that Monogatari has as many fans as the shows I listed above stands. If this show would somehow be niche, which is what it means to not appeal to normalfags, then it wouldn't attract as many people as it does. Unless you wanna tell me why someone selecting Monogatari as a watched series on MAL is MORE LIKELY than selecting bebop or spirited away please dont even bother to bring up the fact that they are including themselves in the sample because they want to. Thats what the entire website is based on, ergo the same margin of error has to be assumed for all shows so they basically cancel eachother out. Monogatari is a normalfag show, plain and simple.

>>158888086
Biased statistics are not facts.

>>158888132
Your biased bullshit isn't either. And statistics are better because they talk about the opinions of a larger number of people that just (You).

>>158867667
Not very. People just aren't used to seeing somewhat 'defined' male protagonists. Not to mention that he isn't really /fit/ in terms of lifestyle but it comes as a consequence of being a vampire because having a protagonist who actually works out and takes care of his body would be incompatible with the target audience who then couldn't self-insert.

>>158858570
>She will be back
YAAAAAAAS

>>158886571
Don't bother with them
They just call every male MC a self insert

>>158888154
Misinterpreted statistics can say anything at all. You still haven't looked up voluntary response bias.

Why would you use Bake numbers of all things. It got huge sales in japan that sparked interest everywhere.

Go look to see how many keep watching it after Nisemonogatari for the real number. Even during it's first airing normalfags from ANN, SA, etc where calling it pedoshit and disgusting every since snail was introduced.

>voluntary response bias
The problem is that youre probably some american who took a class in stats 1 and now thinks he understands what terminology means. This is precisely why I told you to tell me why someone would be more likely to rate monogatari than lets say bebop, but you simply evaded the point, probably because you realized just how dumb you make yourself look already.

>>158888278
If that was more than a vocal minority then the shows avg rating would be insanely high on all those websites. But I guess the people who call it pedo bait conveniently dont rate, right?

Airing order.
Kizu is like a prologue for the monogatari series.
And the show was made to be seen by airing order as well.
The bulk of the story happens during bake and nise so you should watch those in order.
The rest isn't important.

The story was meant to be seen as OP MC that got in some shit, then managed to survive to talk about it and then he help psychologically disturbed women that lust after his undead dick.

Maybe it would but that doesn't change the fact that most of them desire that body type. Even if they claim they want to get big they never will because they are too self conscious to put on the necessary body fat to bulk up. The few that do look dyel and get laughed at. The ones that don't can at least cling to their muh ripped at baby weight so their end form will look like arararagi. Yes you can argue that a small percentage who post are actually roid monkeys but that's the 5%

Yes. If you really liked the show the novels are absolutely worth getting into. You get deeper characterization and in some cases better interactions, especially during Nadeko Snake, the part with Kanbaru and Ragiko climbing the stairs is much more detailed in the LN, it was pretty much butchered in the adaptation.
