If the song was for the ED, then fair enough. If it is a standard OP, it is a shame to move on from the unique character openings sung by its respective voice actresses that this franchise had for many, many entries of the Monogatari franchise over the years, and it will take me time to get used to that change. YOASOBI did do a good job with the Beastars season 2 opening and its vibe, so they are not the worst option for this, but it would feel a lot more generic in comparison. The vague wording of 'theme song' only really does not help clarify what it actually is.

Hopefully, the actual material still is great and is super well adapted, regardless of whether this song is meant for an OP or the ED, like how this anime franchise has always done.

@animejas totally agree, the opening is a culture for monogatari itself, nothing can change that !!

Can’t believe people are hating this. Most likely they will do a Shinobu Opening as Sakamoto Maaya doesn’t do openings for this show.

As long as the song is a banger, I don’t see the hate. It’s YAOSOBI so it’s gonna be a banger

@animejas previous seasons have been doing character VAs for OP and artists for ED. So I think they will keep it like that.
But…who knows

Most likely an ED theme, as the Monogatari VAs iirc never sang for the past ED themes, either.

@cringeylazy i don't see any of the endings (which it will most probably be) 'fitting' with the series. Not even any of the openings i recall 'fits' with the anime's vibe. So it doesn't matter

@AbelDande I think so too but the wording is pretty vague lol. Wish the announcement was more clear to just put more people at ease.

That’s one of my favorite parts it’ll be a shame if they change it.

I’m very disappointed in this. This sucks to hear. If they’re doing an OP, then that’s terrible news and my hopes of more Tsukihi and Karen openings are potentially crushed. If they are doing Shinobu opening, then it sucks that the old style of Shinobu opening is gone since they were really unique. If they’re doing the ED, that still sucks since I would much rather more ClariS, Marina Kawano, or TrySail than a music group who don’t fit Monogatari very well and I just don’t really like, especially after the Frieren OP.

i really hope it is an ED. This would be the least worst outcome since this song fucking sucks. I really liked OnK op but i'm starting to get really tired of Yoasobi. Frieren 1st op was already so bad.

Yoasobi ..... again ? I mean ... I like Yoasobi but why again? Did the other Japanese artists die or something. ? The anime industry has become a lot like like Hollywood where the pick the same artists again again and again. The anime industry nowadays luck boldness and just want to choose same VAs, music artists and anime studios that are the most convenient due to popularity etc. Am I the only one who thinks like this ?

@cringeylazy Always judging ahead of time, YOASOBI does an excellent job and if it would fit perfectly with what monogatari is about and even more so when this arc is about the girls, perhaps the only one who didn't fit well was Frieren.

@Yubisoft They have only done Beastars, Oshi no Ko and Frieren... they probably wouldn't even make it to the top 100 most overused bands for Anime songs.

@HeavenDrill They are only doing the ED song, the OPs will be the same as usual.
