And the thing about Monogatari in general is that it's not a show for everyone.

Monogatari series is probably one of the most "for everyone" show from what Shinbou Akiyuki did.
That's why it's so highly rated. Also you are overrating it depth since all it "depth" comes from long and mostly useless dialogues written by Nisio Isin. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad series at all, but it is that highly rated because it's trying to show itself as "deep" show while being pretty simple city fantasy in reality, so people can think "wow, I'm so good, I understand monogatari series" while there are not that much to understand actually.


Perhaps a better word would be pensive then deep. That it does make you think. But in either case it's still not to everyone's taste. Bakemonogatari is only number 35 so i can't see this finishing any higher than that. Unless people just watch owari without everything before that.

Idk there are things that for sure make you think much harder than Monogatari series. It's actually pretty relaxing, imho.

That could also be a result of my own personal experience that i say that. For me the kind of internal struggles that the various characters had tended to be very relatable to me, so i ended up doing a lot of self reflection. In this case wondering if there's an Ougi in my life somewhere. Some way I'm not being right to myself.

Honestly if you're die hard fan of shinbo/shaft and Nisio Isin fan like me the scores being this high make sense.

MAL scores generally are inflated, we all know this, but if you consider that this a very niche hardcore following, it's the end to the main story line with lots of fanservice (not the ecchi kind) & callbacks , pretty much every character makes an appearance in some capacity, and the fact that this fandom is still riding the hype of kizumonogatari 3...it just makes sense.

This is very type of anime that leads to ridiculously high scores that confuse people outside of that niche community (much like gintama) but don't run around assuming that because you don't know or enjoy something that it's undeserving of appreciation.

It's one of my favorite shows but I'm pretty objective about itand my scores for the series are all over the place ranging from 7-10 and I gave this a 9. My only gripe is some of the lack of consistently in terms of solid direction and production which is probably due to Oishi Tatsuya and a lot of Shafts staff being wrapped up in the Kizu films.

I am really surprised it has not dropped after a few days after mass votes came in. Interesting I think I will have to catch up with the monogatari series, already had watched a far chunk of it. Anyway its a niche show in the west and is the like 8th entry in the series so its probably still inflated rating (still must be damn good though).

Owarimonogatari Season 2 currently has a score of 9.28, which should make the #1 anime all of time, as Kimi No Na Wa is at 9.26. However, MAL hasn't updated the ranking correctly, as Owari is still at #2 despite having the highest score. Life isn't fair.

It updates twice a day. Just wait for it.

I just finished watching it and I just don't get what elevates it that much compared to the rest of the series. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the Monogatari series. It's just that I just can't imagine how much people rated this entry 10/10. It's as if 8 or 9 out of 10 was a bad score.

Edit: While this is a great send-off for the main plot of the series, Kizumonogatari is still the best.

Really nice to see Owari on the top.

I've never seen Monogatari, but I probably should.

Finally we have something that isn't shit in the top 5. Like, holy fuck, is there this many 12 year olds just getting into anime? I'm going to pray the masses of retarded 12 year olds don't downvote because they can't read fast enough for the Monogatari Series. Lol.

I'm sad cause a lot of people now are just going to watch Owari 2nd Season without watching the whole franchise and they're just going to rate it harshly
Damn, I hope not.

I'm sitting on the positive side of the fence for this one, hoping that its #1 spot will generate controversy and get more people into the series, starting from Bakemono.

-----------------------------------------------

I don't really mind if it gets dethroned over the course of the next few weeks. It's getting the limelight that it deserves, even if for only a short while.

Locked for obvious reasons

Stop making threads about a shows ratings. These type of threads do not promote anything meaningful, especially when you try and say "'X' and 'X' is not good, so I'm glad to see this as the top anime." You're just inviting the other shows fanbases to come into this sub-board and defend their favorite show.
