I finished this 2 days ago and its amazing literally the best of both worlds(the chemistry and characters of oregairu, the supernatural stories from bunny girl senpai).So i am supposed to watch kizumonogatari now i guess but i couldnt understand these parts from hanekawas arc:
Q1: when black hanekawa was warning araragi from oddities was she implying that he and shinobu have some kind of romantic or special relationship?
Q2: why did shinobu disappear and how was she in araragi shadow?(if its a spoiler ignore)
Q3:when hanekawa lied to araragi about the vampire charming power was she lying wishing it was true to make herself feel better?
Thanks in advance :D

Q2- Shinobu disappeared because she wanted attention and she wanted Araragi to come find her. She can live in his shadow because they both have some sort of bond which they will explain in detail later.


I don't remember the others.
I love Monogatari Series

question 1 answer will get when u complete the monogatari series and 3rd one was because she wanted to console herself that it was not her fault to fall in love with him. So yes what u understand is mostly correct

I advice u to take your time to complete monogatari series and never skip anything because everything and every episode is connected to next season and also because the monogatari series can be hard to understand sometimes .

Q3 - Yes, she was. I don't remember the exact scenes from the anime, but in the LN, Araragi brings it up at the end in his narration, where he wonders what that was supposed to be about. He ends up iirc with the conclusion that it was something she herself wished were true. But since she realises how selfish it was to say something like that, she backtracks and says she was joking.

It's surprising that even though the series is known for it's over-the-top, sometimes stupid conversations, all of them have deeper threads running through them. Some of them are such that they make sense an arc or two later.

Yeah i love this genre of shows where its dialogue heavy. thats why i wanted to start the monogatari series all my friends kept telling me its similar to oregairu and it looks to me like its even more complex with hidden meanings to each interaction between the characters

Wait I also completed Bakemonogatari yesterday and started watching Nisemonogatari since it was next in the release order. So I'm supposed to watch Kizumogatari? Why's it so confusing

Yeah i found out the order from reddit its bake then kizu then nise.The 3 kizu movies are a prequel showing how araragi became a vampire so i think it will tell us more about shinobu and araragi relationship.Here is the watch order anyway https://i.imgur.com/nfiEEn3.jpg

Kizumonogatari is the novel which came after Bakemonogatari. But because of some production issues, it was pushed back in the anime, and the third novel, Nisemonogatari, was made instead. So you should watch Kizu after Bake, since that is the order which the author intended.

Other than that, there are minor changes in the watch order which you need to follow to make sure you watch it according to the "Novel Release Order". The image guide kareemamr linked is the order you should follow for the best experience.

I watched nisemonogatari after bakemonogatari and had no problem understanding and enjoying it . I believe u can watch kizumonogatari before nisemonogatari although u will get the basic idea of nisemonogatari after u complete the monogatari series but I believe u should watch it before second season bcs it will make it will make Oni monogatari easier to understand and u will be able to relate to the incidents much better

Honestly I'm watching final season now, and most of the questions you have get answered along the way. I found it was best to watch monogatari series and not ask questions to other people because many things you think that are overlooked details are actually spoilers for later.
