Monogatari Series: First Season
So this is confusing me as much as the Fate franchise, but I want to get into this series soon and do it correctly. What's the order of this damn thing? Is it this? (https://imgur.com/nfiEEn3) I've seen the image above frequently used for watch order, so is it still correct nearly 4 years later? Is it missing anything? |
GoCrayzee said: I've seen the image above frequently used for watch order, so is it still correct nearly 4 years later? Yeah. That's the order of how the Author released his stories, and expected his readers to follow them. GoCrayzee said: Is it missing anything? The recently announced Off & Monster Season, which will be placed in 13th. GoCrayzee said: as much as the Fate franchise It's not as complicate as people make it to be. Fate Route (Story 1) > Unlimited Blade Works Route (Story 2) > Heaven's Feel Route (Story 3) > Fate/Zero (Story of the father). The 3 Routes (stories) are basically reboots. They starts the same, have the same characters, but each one focus on different developments for a certain set of character. After that, there is the numerous Spin-Offs.

Mind you, chronological order should never be your first watch because it makes no sense narratively past the first season, also the numerous koyomimonogatari entries means that you'd have to watch a half-episode of koyomi in between arcs basically In general, LN release order is the way to go since you're not keeping up with the monogatari series since 2009, there's not much reason to watch it anime release order with all the delays to the kizumonogatari films, hanamonogatari, weird yet novel release of koyomimonogatari, etc. |
| the order is quite simple tbh, its just ppl overcomplicating themselves, its as easy as watching the light novel release order, which is the order the author intended. |

| Here is the correct watch order this is the release wise watch order so you'll be watching the anime seasons in the order they were released and meant to be watched the other watch order is the chronological one but that order is better for a re-watch so I'd just recommend the release wise watch order  |
 |
| I always recommend airing order as it isn’t super complex to just follow dates. Also eventually all the pieces are going to click sooner or later so the order shouldn’t be that bug of a deal. |

| whats wrong with chronological order bruh 😭 |
Animaticide said: If I got this right, a chronological order of the main continuity would be: ZERO Stay Night UBW Heaven's Feel Is Ill-Mullioli or whatever it's called within that same continuity? What about FAKE? It depends on what you mean by continuity. Per definition, the 3 Routes are not part of the same continuity, as they are alternative universes of each other too. Even if Fate/Zero is a flashback, and the past of the 3 Routes, it ends up directly contradicting what's said in them, so it's also an alternative universe. By Ill-Mullioli, you are probably referring to Lord El Melloi II. It's a story happening between Zero and the 3 Routes, but it's also a different universe. In it, Zero happened, but the result of the 5th Holy Grail War is kinda a mix of the 3 Routes. As for Strange Fake, it's a Spin-Off. It happens in a different world, which completely contradicts the rules of the Nasuverse (multi-verse made by the Author). In it, Zero and Tsukihime (another work by the Author of Fate) happened, but it's not clear which Routes of Stay Night did. It could be the Fate Route, the UBW Route, or a mix of both. The watch-order of the franchise is not too complicated, but if you start to dig the lore and the continuities, it can very quickly become a headache... I'd say you don't want to try to understand it before being a massive fan, and reading the original Novels. |

Homura24 said: this is the release wise watch order so you'll be watching the anime seasons in the order they were released and meant to be watched That's false. The studio had massive production problems for Kizu, so there was a lot of years of delays. Hana and Koyomi were also delayed multiple months too, which is why there is recaps episodes in 2nd Season. 1crusty said: whats wrong with chronological order bruh 😭 Edit : I just realized you actually follow the release order, so you'll probably agree with me. I thought you were trying to defend chronological orders. You ruin the intentions of the Author. Playing with the order of the events is a very easy way to create mystery, suspense, add potentials twists, shock values and powerful development for your characters. Pretty much all stories with a minimum of complexity does that, most of the time with a small flashback placed at the good places. For example, from your favorite, Sousou no Frieren. Do you think the story would be this emotional and epic if you got all the past of Frieren with Flamme right in Episode 01 ? It would have heavily lowered the emotional aspect of what happened in the actual Episode 01, and the huge epic waves of the event of Aura in Episode 10. We could go further, and makes the story start with the past of Kraft, and pretty much change the story of the work too. |

SIimyBread said: I've only watched fate zero. can i watch fate grand order now? Grand Order gather together near all characters from all the other Spin-Offs, so it's better to watch it in very last. (It's kinda like The Avenger of Marvel.) The Anime also adapted only a few bits here and there of the overall story, so it's not even recommended if you didn't played the Game. (The Animes adaptations were literally made to thanks the fans of the Game who played it for years, by adapting their favorites Arcs.) If you really want to, it should be fine tho, you'll mostly just miss fan-service references to characters, especially in the Prologue Movie. SIimyBread said: just for the insane animation quality The Babylonia TV Series really does have a very good and consistent Animation. There is just a few parts of weird CGI used for one or two characters. The rest, however, is not nearly as good. |

Man, The author of Monogatari said the correct order. You can look in my profile, I have put It in there. |

| @Badonkers this order is absolute perfect. Monogatari series is my favourite anime of all time, and definitely to enjoy it the most, this order is perfect. |

hi there . if u have watched the series already by now CAN U CONFIRM YOUR WATCH ORDER FROM THE IMAGE WAS BEST? and also i have an image here with a slight difference in S2&S3, like hana should be watched mid S2 & owari 1-2 together unlike in my image . WHY?? Note : I haven't started the series yet https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bakemonogatari1645/images/1/11/Monogatari_Series_Chronology_2019_version_%28Anime_Only%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20190715121855I've seen the image above frequently used for watch order, so is it still correct nearly 4 years later? Is it missing anything?
| @HeshamJohnny The order from his image was the best yes, it's LN release order. Same as what Badonkers suggested. And Hana is correctly placed mid season 2. The studio doing the adaption skipped it and adapted it after, but the author intended it for mid season. |
| The MAL order is already pretty good. But I would recommend watching Kizu trilogy before Bakemonogatari. I did this on my rewatch and everything felt more enjoyable and made sense. |
 |
| watch in any order, it's not like any of us have been able to comprehend this series... |
