| I've been dreading to watch the new owarimonogatari that came out this season but currently stuck on this other one that I haven't been able to finish. For people who already watched it, do I need to watch the other arcs (in airing order) to know what's going on in owarimonogatari? (I've watched Bakemonogatari and Monogatari S2) ty ^_^ |

| might as well also skip the beginning of fairy tail to get to 2014 while you're at it |
| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |

| you missed the point, no dont fcking skip its liek skipping the non filler parts of fairy tail its retarded |
| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| I mean, from where you currently are you'll be missing out on some things. I'd say just keep watching all of it really. |
 |
| That's just absurd. I skipped FT, but read its manga so was able to watch 2014. Don't do it. Skipping it would be a really bad decision. |
 |
| none of them there all fucking awesome |
| oh look Monogatari thread number??????? why do ppl keep asking about watching order? just watch everything the order it came out tf is so difficult about that? |
   |
| I don't really recommend skipping any parts especially to get to Owarimonogatari. Owari S2 references a good variety of past arcs and it wouldn't be the same if you started from there. Pretty positive Owari S2 starts directly after the last episode of Koyomimonogatari and you'd be pretty confused on why those events took place. |
 |
| You can't skip any part in Monogatari. None of the arcs are even that long. |
 |
| For me, I will never understand this mindset. TV has always been about watching the story from start to finish normally. Not sure why people make strategies to watch anime whether it be 2x speed, skipping arcs or other things. This is truly an anime fan thing. |
|
| it's like a puzzle; you can skip things like Neko:Kuro & Hana and still be able to get the main picture, however you'll miss some parts. |
| Don't fucking skip anything, it's not even a long running series. Just watch everything in release order. And yeah some people might say skip Koyomimonogatari and only watch last two episodes, but i repeat "Don't skip anything". |
 |
| No, I don't think it's okay. Owarimonogatari2 is much better if you are attached to the series. |
| I have a dif question, does it get better after bakemonogatari? Cause I watched it and I though it was good, but nothing too impressive. |

If you are watching airing order, then I personally enjoyed Monogatari: Second Season, Kizumonogatari II & III and Owarimonogatari 2nd season the most |

Of course. We all know you're in it just for the and the  |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Maybe Koyomimonogatari, since I think it's all side stories. That's the only one I haven't seen yet. Definitely watch the rest though. |

Blarey said: Eh that questionable too, since the ending for Koyomimonogatari leads up to owarimonogatari.Maybe Koyomimonogatari, since I think it's all side stories. That's the only one I haven't seen yet. Definitely watch the rest though. |

It seems like people who do that are more concerned with padding their "Completed" list than actually enjoying the shows they're watching. |

Plus that's where allot of the main character's origin stories begin. To be honest, Bakemonogatari is way too ambitious for what it truly is - a harem where every single character plays a trope, and with a lot of pointless cheeky dialogue and some interesting plot lines that could have been quite intriguing if its main drama didn't revolve around high school problems. It literally doesn't have a plot. The characters being self-aware about their tropes doesn't make it smart. The world is also way too cryptic (which I can understand is intentional, but there need to be certain pre-established rules in order for a fantasy world, or whatever you want to call it, to work) and the series' style (all the quick cuts and title cards) is simply overdone. It's quite a shame, because it's very obvious there is a lot of thought put into the show overall. That's because you have only seen Bakemonogatari. Although not much the series does get clearer later on. It's just that no one bothered to put it in chronological order and it's clearly not meant to be seen that way either. The style you're talking about is just a mix between Shafts' usual style and the French New Wave from the 60's. It is a style you need to get accustomed with but lots of people never do. To OP: don't skip anything. You'll miss a lot of important stuff. I haven't seen Owari season 2 yet but I doubt it's going to be different all of a sudden. |

AyameTomoko said: @nose1234, Don't worry, it changes. Nisemonogatari is allot more laid back from what I've heard. I also heard it's the title with the most fanservice as well.  I'm sure looking forward to watching Nise. Yeah, I heard similar stuff, which is why I put off nisemonogatari for so long lol. But it is short in any case, so maybe I'll give it a go in the weekend. |

I can understand what its style is going for and I actually praise it for being what it is. It's still impossible to ignore the fact that everything else is just too underwhelming and even pretentious most of the time. This fanmade trailer is what made me watch Bakemonogatari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIziNssFnHg It makes it seem so intriguing and dramatic, but we get a harem and all its tropes instead. If Anything you shouldn't trust a fan trailer. It was a nice one though, cool to see all those things again after all this time. I don't think it's pretentious as much as it's experimental though. Yes the two often overlap but I don't think it's the case here. That fan trailer did indeed make it seem like some horror but it's not. If anything Monogarari is a character study where the author tries to study the tropes of modern anime. Nothing pretentious about that, it's just that he takes them further than what's normally the case. You do need to pay attention though because otherwise you'll miss it. But maybe Monogatari is just not for you. Like I said you really need to get accustomed to it and I think after completing Bake there should've been enough accustomization to be hooked. In that regard I don't think any further watching will benefit you in any way especially because Nisemonogatari is the second worst season. |

| I would highly recommend watching all the arcs as there might be some details or jokes you might miss if you don't watch them. However, if you really have to see Owarimonogatari S2, you'll still need to watch these: Tsukimonogatari Owarimonogatari and the last two episodes of Koyomimonogatari |
| Just drop it. Owari is a story that wraps up everything you see in Monogatari, there is no point in forcing yourself to see it if you don't even like what it's going to wrap up about. It's an entertainment medium, you don't need to force yourself to watch what everyone is watching. Not to mention Monogatari is pretty niche. If you just want to know its story, feel free to continue, but if you want to 'enjoy' it, come back when you feel like you want to experience Monogatari style. |
