This is the correct/most logical order I personally think the Monogatari Series goes.

It's the SHAFT release order but Kizumonogatari comes after Bakemonogatari as it was unintentionally delayed.

Don't do anything crazy like watching Hana in the middle of Second Season.

Koyomi Vamp is a compilation movie with very few additional scenes and a lot of removed scenes, it's optional.

When it comes to enjoying the Monogatari Series, there are various perspectives on how best to approach the viewing experience.
Different individuals have their own beliefs on the ideal order in which to watch the series.

• Some suggest watching it in Studio Shaft's intended order, as they may have structured the animation in a specific way.
• Others advocate for following the light novel order, as this is how the author intended the story to be told.
• Additionally, some viewers prefer to watch the series in chronological order to better understand the timeline of events.
• While others create their very own watch order.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is a guide to help you choose the best order to watch the Monogatari Series:

1. Studio Shaft's Order / Anime Release Order: It is advised to avoid watching the series in Studio Shaft's order as this order may not provide the intended viewing experience as some shows were delayed in release, potentially leading to confusion and spoilers that could impact your enjoyment of the series..

2. Light Novel Order: Watching the series in the order of the light novels will provide you with the intended experience and excitement as envisioned by the author. This approach allows viewers to immerse themselves in the story as intended by the creator.

3. Chronological Order: While watching the series in chronological order may help in understanding the timeline of events and character development, it may diminish the unique storytelling and enjoyment that comes from experiencing the series in its original format & the element of discovery and piecing together the narrative across different timelines can add to the overall viewing experience will also be missing.

4. Personal Order: While some viewers may have their own preferred watch order, it is important to note that these orders may not be suitable for beginners and could potentially impact their understanding and enjoyment of the series.

Ultimately, the choice of watch order is up to you.
But for beginners, it is highly recommended to watch the Monogatari Series in the order of the light novels for the best viewing experience.

Akiyuki Shinbo is a Japanese animator, director, compositional writer, and storyboard artist. Best known for his works with Shaft, he has attained international recognition for his unique visual style and storytelling methods.

Shinbo began his career in the early 1980s as an animator, but his true rise to fame in the industry occurred when he received the opportunity to direct for series produced by Pierrot at the turn of the decade and early 90s. His unique style developed across the studio's productions, cultivating in Yu Yu Hakusho, which led to his debut as a series director with the J.C.Staff television series Metal Fighter Miku (1994). Over the next several years, Shinbo developed his directorial style through numerous avenues in the industry; and the pure form of his style has been described as coalescing in series like The SoulTaker (2001) and Le Portrait de Petit Cossette (2004).

In 2004, Shinbo was invited by newly appointed Shaft president Mitsutoshi Kubota to collaborate with the studio as a director. Since the newfound collaborative effort's debut with Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase (2004), he has mentored various directors and won numerous awards for his productions with the studio. His notable directorial works with Shaft include the Monogatari series (2009–present), Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011), and March Comes In like a Lion (2016–2018).

I watched it all in release order at 1st & had no issue in that regard, however Light Novel Order is the near universally preferred order & thus I've chosen to mostly* abide as it's not as hard as it once was to do so.
It's HIGHLY recommended to watch the Blu-ray versions of these as a lot of animation decisions are changed due to financial restraints in the TV version.
