I don't really care about Hanamonogatari, just hope they announce Kizumonogatari release date when they air Hanamonogatari.

And... 5 episodes, that's a bit too many.

why cannot Shaft Studio hire more animators? especially that Monogatari franchise is a cash cow for them, Shaft Studio is abusing the superior patience of the japanese otakus lol

I think it's more like Shinbou directing too many... still a bad excuse though.

Laughing. At this rate we'll get Kizu before then. Sucks though, was looking forward to it. I'm at least glad that it's actually "Hanamonogatari."

They'll do it right after merging the Monogatari novel entries into one.

Which would be awesome. At least I care more about Kizu. What really sucks about this, that if they were planning to announce Kizu released date after Hanamonogtari, then that got delayed too.

SHAFT u suck sometimes

This has to be the most consistently mismanaged and kind of bad franchise to ever be rewarded so faithfully and overwhelmingly by it's fanbase. I guess they don't care when it's released or whether it's even really truly finished at that time since the fervent fanbase basically guarantees them a certain bottom line of sales regardless. They could release an entire disc of Black Scenes and still probably make the expected 40K Preorders.

The only franchise in recent memory that might be worse at this is Code Geass: Akito The Exiled which has managed to have every volume now significantly delayed and now the latest volume delayed indefinitely.

Just saying this is the studio that so many think is just the absolute greatest and most creative and yet they consistently botch these sorts of things and it's kind of getting amusing on some level. Like all they have to do is...you know...their thing they do with every show, Black scene, red scene, head tilt, quick cut, dialogue splurge of belligerent sexual tension, quick cut, black scene, shot of someones feet as they press it against another persons head or something yadayadayada....Can we get our 40K sales now.....K thanks!

It can't be all that hard a series to produce even, especially since Shaft has gone to the well with their whole style so many times now it should practically be committed to the muscle memory of their artists and yet they just struggle so mightily with scheduling and budget and are rewarded for their almost complete ineptitude and ability to branch out beyond one particular art style anyway. It's just kind of a sad state of affairs that used to annoy me but now I just find kind of funny in a black comedy sort of way.

Anyway people will complain now, but they'll still watch it claim it's a masterpiece and still buy it when it comes out so anything that gets said now is ultimately meaningless in a couple months but still kind of funny, especially considering this was originally at one point supposed to air last summer during the whole second season "masterpiece". It just feels like some form of karma is going on here yet I can't pinpoint exactly where, who is receiving the return, and whether it's positive or negative karma or a bit of both.

Nobody gives a fuck. Fans of the studio are not gonna stop liking the studio because of your endless, constant, biased and unfounded rants. If some people think SHAFT is the best anime studio then that's their concern and opinion. Oh wow, I never read that exact same wording before, amazing.

Blah, blah, blah, same blah and blah. Why are you even posting in this topic? this is not a thread about Studio SHAFT. It's about Hanamonogatari being delayed so it's only relevant to the fans or the people who plan to watch it. Where do you exactly fall here?

Find something better in your life to be obsessed about instead of SHAFT, Kyoani, Aniplex and your minority opinion. It's my fault for even indulging you, I should have tried to ask a mod about this or simply ignore your insufferable self.

They took 5 episodes away from Nisekoi for this only for it to get pushed back. What are they going to use the rest of that timeslot for, if anything?

Yes perhaps I overstepped a little bit there into off topic rant territory, for now I'll just express my continue bemusement at the whole mismanaged scheduling thing and leave it at that.

I don't mind too much but August is pretty far off. At least we get all in a day so I know what I'm going to be doing then :).

It really could be quality issues to I guess. With Nisekoi, Madoka and the dreadfully animated MekakuCity actors on their plate a delay might be for the best.

Wait, Hitagi has screen time there? I was under the impression that it's mainly about Kanbaru and what goes in her mind, and even Araragi makes a small appearance.

lol why do you always come to monogatari series threads trying to shit on the series with your pseudo intellectuality? i mean if you dislike the show on such a consistent basis why come to a thread about a delay seems as if you would be indifferent. there are plenty of other middle aged elitists that will be willing to circle jerk with you about how amazing and superior LOTGH and other 80s anime is.

based on the PV released im almost certain sure its nothing like the kizu situation . it would be easier for us fans if shaft was more transparent about it but im not too worried.

i was thinking maybe the delay might actually have something to do with kizu. kind of a stretch but maybe they want to time hana so that it comes out in closer proximity to when they'd like to release kizu. probably just optimism tho.

Delayed to Augst 16th? I'm not even surprised or disappointed. I don't even know what to expect anymore lol. To be honest I thought it was too good to be true that they manged to squish it in this Spring season at the last second. A two and a half month delay isn't that bad since we're getting all of it at once.

I think it's more like Shinbou directing too many... still a bad excuse though.

Doesn't he have a protege though? Tatsuwa Naoyuki has been episode directing multiple of Shinbou's works since SZS and is a first time director for Nisekoi with Shinbou. If SHAFT is lacking on manpower, Tatsuwa should be able to handle something simple like the Hana OVA.

Okay that gives me even more time to watch Monogatari S2.
Here's hoping the delay means that Kanbaru will look even more perfect when it comes out. I can definitely llive with that.

You are so wrong and ruining for the rest of us who care greatly about Kanbaru.
I hope Hitagi doesn't come out at all, you deserve at least that much suffering.

Senjougahara owned entirely Bakemonogatari so i'm glad to see she was not that present on next chapters.

Glad to see that Shinobu, Araragi, Karen, Tsukihi, Mayoi, Tsubasa, Kaiki and Sengoku could enjoy Nisemonogatari and Monogatari 2nd Season screentime.

Well actually this kind of delay is kinda good, we need to stay away from the series to find some time to take a look at other series. in other words, i would like to miss my favourite series instead of seeing it every season. Seeing it after a year will just make me enjoy the show even more.

I'm more mad about the fact that Nisekoi was shortened for no reason. I had a feeling they were gonna pull this with Hanamonogatari so it's not as surprising as it is disappointing. Oh well.. 3 months fly by fairly quickly
