There are different ways of watching this series: the suggested order (for first time viewers); the light novel order; and the chronological order. The order of the series is different with the anime because Shaft put Kizumonogatari on hiatus from 2012 when it was announced, up until 2015 when the film had finally returned to be released as a trilogy of films starting in January 2016 and finishing a year later.

This will be in book order, making it the easiest order for new viewers to follow along to. Like bunny girl senpai, the series has muli episode arcs focusing on different characters and their weird problem, that has deep meaning behind it. I will put what arcs each series covers.

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.
