Well, are the Monogatari series worth watching? I've been told they are, but I'm unsure if that's true since they're mainly known by their ecchi and stuff. Also, what's the right order to watch them? I'm really confused about that.

Thanks for your help!
Some lazy guy on scene!

First off, watch it in release order. When in doubt, release order.

Second, the show is a lot of talking and pretty powerpoint slides with the occasional bit of animation thrown in to mix it up. I dropped it after 5 episodes the first time I watched it, ended up going back after getting the whole bd release from carbongals and I have been hooked since.

I didn't watch all of them but the series is well received on here and the ecchi is tolerable.

It's not for everyone but I think it is great. The ecchi isn't something to worry about for the most part.

Some will say it is; some will say it isn't. The only way to know is to watch it for yourself.

Here's the airing order people usually follow:
- Bakemonogatari
- Nisemonogatari
- Nekomonogatari: Kuro
- Monogatari Series: Second Season
- Hanamonogatari
- Tsukimonogatari

Drop it if you don't like it.

It's pretty dialogue heavy and the visuals are unconventional so it's not for everyone. I personally love that aspect so much that I barely notice the ecchi.

I think I once tried watching episode 1 but it was all messy. And the names are really confusing.. Maybe I'll give it a try some time later. >_>

If you don't mind a dialogue driven story with slightly weird/confusing/annoying art, yes it's definitely worth the watch.

I found it quite enjoyable once you get to know all of the characters.

I personally love it but if you don't like it by episode 3 then drop it.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Try Bakemonogatari, if you enjoyed it then you will enjoy the others too.
Great story, great characters defenitly worth the watch

It gets a bit ecchi later but if you can handle some pants shots you are fine

I don't think it is. To be fair, I haven't finished watching it, but I'm more than halfway into Bake, and so far, it's boring me.

Really? I drop it after 6 episode,should I finish it ? I really wonder why it has a good popularity and good score.

I can handle it as long there is no sex harrasment.

I hate it. A lot of talking and it was just boring. I came back to it multiple times but couldn't continue watching it.

Just started watching it, but in order as MAL suggest - from Kizumonogatari, then Nekomonogatari and now I'm finishing Bakemonogatari. This way at lest the plot makes some sense ie you know why Arararagi comes to Oshino with every problem, who is Shinobu and why shi is sucking his ... Neck xd
