Monogatari

>>160152991
It's shit after bake because no meme and the only times it's remotely good in the latter seasons is when kaiki is there. So to summarise, the males are the only good thing about the series.

You also posted the most boring girl in the show.

>>160153127
It's been like 4 seasons since bake, stop watching it if you don't like it

Who doesn't like atonal piano "music" played over minimal backgrounds while talking heads discuss matters that are apparently witty and thought-provoking to the japanese audience, but don't bridge the cultural gap all that well, much less in the form of subtitles.

>>160152991
I watched it because of Ononoki, it was alright.

What are you even bitching about, again?

I'm in it for the banter

Its a modern masterpiece that only experienced anime fans will enjoy. Too much for normalfag brains to handle the banter and the lolis and the lewd and the plots.

Take a good drama, then dress it up with monsters, cute anime girls, and jokes so it's not just people whining 24/7. Then you get Monogatari.

seeing this scene after kizu made my heart melt.

PowerPoint + fanservice = Monogatari.

>>160155121
That's only true for the original release of Bakemonogatari.

My favorite kind of story in all mediums is "lots of talking interspersed by brief moments of especially good action"

I have never watched an episode of that anime

but i appreciate its existence because of the top tier hentai

>>160155068
To what, exactly? There's nothing much in the show, if you're above 16. Dialoges aren't entertaining, and their main purpose is to make pantsushots more relatable. What kind of point we're talking about in a show existing purely for fan-service?

If your definition of being an "actual fucking person" is talking in pretentious monologues 90% of the time, I don't even want to know what you don't consider a person.

>>160153890
Supreme taste indeed.

>>160155210
Yes, it's my favorite of last season. I think Princess Principal may be better, though

>>160155005
>everone being written as an actual fucking person for a change
But that's just horseshit. Nobody in the series acts like a real person would.

>>160154801
What point? Even the meme fag questioned him for it and he just does it because. MC's that always try save everyone are top tier garbage and have no identity for themselves.

Waifu faggotry. Same reason anything else is popular

>>160155196
Not entertaining is a valid criticism of Monogatari even though I disagree. They don't have a point is a retarded statement that makes me wonder if you were paying attention. If it's for 16 year olds (which is part of its primary demographic but not all of it) as you say the point should be obvious to you too.

This.

>>160155220
Give examples of pretentious monologues.

kizu was the latest one right?

theres also a couple of movies ?

>>160155965
How is Sodachi selfless? She held a grudge for years because someone didn't realize she wanted help when she using them. She's a textbook normie woman: self-absorbed and self-centered. Just because she took care of her mother doesn't mean she's "selfless". She isn't socially retarded either, she's just a jerk.

>>160156214
Kizu are the movies. Three of them.

>>160155779
Zaregoto is leagues ahead of both Monogatari's but the adaption sucks.

Nice, rather than having a constructive argument to back your claim, you hit me with the word "retard."

>>160156261
I would disagree to a certain extent, Zaregoto's main plot only gets good by vol4, vol1 was pretty good with a couple of asspulls at the end, vol2 was a clusterfuck and vol3 was barely a murder mystery. Monogatari plot has an entirely different focus, but I think it has better and more entertaining characters save for greengreengreen the madman, zigzag, aikawa and miss fortune teller. I still think Nisio is a pretty amazing writer but honestly for the most part Monogatari clicks with me more.

>>160156494
You are retarded. Every 2 minutes makes zero sense for the powerpoint part and it's untrue for fanservice.

>>160156509
Vol 1 had no asspulls though and vol 2 is still the best thing nisio has written.

That cover all her parts in the story besides when she gave up during owari and zokuowari. She is pretty much always helping someone or solve some injustice but most of the time causing undesirable damage to other people and mostly herself.

Kizu goes between Owari and Koyomi but I'm assuming you didn't include them intentionally. Kizu can be watched at almost any point in the series anyway

I stayed for the spook. Even so, I was put off from watching it due to the first crab arc. Twice.

>>160156793
I didn't include them because I was unsure, actually, but thanks for clearing it up.

>>160156682
Also, it's hard to think she isn't socially retarded if you read Fiasco. People say something to her, she spends 3 pages thinking what was said, then 3 pages deciding how to react and counter measures to anything retarded she could do, still misreact after all her planning and then rationalize that at least she didn't had a fit and stripped herself naked.

>>160156682

I don't know about "fixing ragi's relationship" nor "helping Nadeko" so can't reply to those points.

>>160156972
Except in Fiasco she was popular for a while and decided to throw away to help someone. And in that we had her thought process, unlike how you're make assumptions. Though it does show how Nisio does it right, only a couple of her classmates in Naoetsu thought of her differently from what you assumed according to the commentaries.

To be fair, she did think she would be popular after succeeding with the class trial. She also didn't think her "plan" would backfire that hard in Fiasco. So selfless might not be very accurate, impulsively self-loathing justice obsessed might have been better, she just puts other people over herself because she puts herself rock bottom.
>>160157847
I would say so, I even made a fairly sophisticated AI using her in the prototype for a graduation project (not unlike many anons working in engineering and computer science). She is obviously not from Monogatari and this is the last blogging I'll do in this thread.

>>160158278
Nise in general was terribly written.

It did have the two best OPs of the franchise though, so I forgive it

Sodachi will get a handsome, young and loyal mathematician while she does her doctorate in math. She is best being Araragi's tsunbro and his only close friend with zero sexual tension for a change.

>>160154362
A) he's literally scolded that same scene by senjou for not taking anyone else into account when he attempts to sacrifice himself. Kaiki also scolds him for his whiteknighting in Koi.
B) Araragi actually holds back the girls in his harem, those who leave develop by moving past him.
C)This behaviour causes parallel world araragi to die as a set up to mayoi jiangshi (offscreen, purported)
D) He manifests an aberration as a result of his shortcomings
E) Literally nobody watches the show for it's focus on araragi, and many later arcs barely feature him at all

I'm pretty tired and some of this maybe off and by no means complete, but to write him off as a dime-a-dozen harem protag is to miss pretty much everything worthwile about watching him develop and watching the series progress. Yes it's a lot of setup before you get payoff, but it's worth it.

this.

the director phoned it in. the long meandering conversations only worked because of the quirky editing and interjections and random cuts. they completely forgot to do that in every season since and replaced it with fanservice.

>>160159387
I wouldn't bet she would have particularly high standards and she seems to have a sense of emergency since she is only confident about her looks, the hard part would be dealing with all her emotional baggage, mood swings, her being afraid of males because of all the beatings from her father according to Fiasco and tendency to not be a good mother never having had a proper one.

>>160159593
Did Shinbo do all of them?

>>160159646
Unfortunately. The weird part is, he did Bake and Madoka at the same time, yet still managed to make both into legendary animes.

>>160159683
forgot to mention, the new movies are still great tho. every part of kizu redeems it.

Shinobumonogatari - “initial” thoughts

It’s just a feeling, but it seems to me as though when Nisio started writing the Monogatari series, Ii-chan started getting a little bit like Araragi… And now the cycle has come full circle, with the Zaregoto anime airing, as Araragi starts getting more like Ii-chan. I’m several chapters into Shinobumonogatari and there have been moments where I could forget I’m reading Monogatari and not Zaregoto (were it not for the fact that Araragi is 僕 and Ii-chan is ぼくw).

Anyway Deathtopia is HERE and here to stay I love this so far

>>160159593
It still has quirky editing, interjections and random cuts. I would say the directing got less experimental than in bake, but the live action material and real-world imagery always stuck out a bit to me.

>>160159824
exactly this, i loved those moments whrn youd be caught up in the intensity of the scene and without noticing the world hadn't broken down into strange surrealist imagery and then it would i jolt you awake with weird flashes of real world imagery or video, or change the art style completely.

its a harem with themes, not many of those out there

>>160160145
not just a harem with themes, a harem with original, unique and interesting girls who are all significantly more interesting than the main guy.

>>160160330
he was interesting in the first episode when he was a disillusioned asshole who pretends to be injured and only gives a fuck about getting shit done.

then he got harem mc syndrome and became a righteous justice fag who fights or some shit? i think what attracted most people to bake in the first place was that he was pretty weak against the oddities, like the fight against kanbaru, he just didn't give a fuck and got shit done no matter how much of a beating he took.

>>160152991
Well when it started it had amusing fanservice and entertaining fight scenes with a bit of gore.

But since they seem to have completely done away with that stuff in later season (I understand the whole Konomi can't heal anymore, but still...) I still watch it cause it can be legitimately funny sometimes, I enjoy the supernatural stories, and other than crab and snake, I like all the characters.

>>160153127
this is bait, bake was the worst season of the series and every other season after it is far superior

How many people did Araragi actually save, anyway? I mean like actually save.

Crab saved herself, with Bat he made everyone unhappy, Cat saved herself with help from Crab, Snail he failed to save, Snake he made things even worse, Math got a pep talk from Cat and he was just there for the ride.

I guess maybe Bee and Birb?

>>160161312
Shit parents yield shit kids. Being a cop doesn't necessarily make you a good parent. Araragi even mentions how stern his parents are, throwing them into the county jail when they misbehaved.

>>160161834
Nah I mean whenever people bitch about Arararararagi's messiah complex. I mean yeah he wants to, but virtually every time he tries either he fucks it up worse or they save themselves or else it's subverted in some other way.

"I don't recall having made any pact with you, Heartunderblade -- I just wanted everything to turn out for the best. It was just better for me if you chose to die in order to turn Araragi-kun back into a human. For me -- in other words for humans." Oshino said. That's right. Surely that was true even for Guillotinecutter. I thought it was strange that he meekly returned Kissshot's arms, however, if I remember correctly, Oshino said he told Guillotinecutter the gist of it -- he informed him that I wanted to turn back into a human, and that Kissshot accepted it. Therefore he returned them. Oshino obtained a compromise by doing so. By doing so he persuaded him -- with that reason, Guillotinecutter gave in. If that was the case, even if he returned the arms he wouldn't contradict his doctrine."

>>160165483
That just makes it more confusing

>>160165407

Are you saying Giro basically committed suicide? The text you pasted doesn't indicate Giro's intentions besides returning the arms wouldn't contradict his mission, which was to make Kiss-shot a non-threat.

As long as it's not Commie you should be good. The more important consideration is that you grab a good 1080p Bluray version.

I was saying that to demonstrate that Oshino told him Kisshot planned to die, the part about Gui's suicide is more conjecture based on some vague statement in Kizu about "Gui thought he was deceived by Oshino and entered the cram school alone".
