Keep on spammin dat gore

I remember when this was listen on Amazon or something like that, then removed because of the rumors or w/e.

Glad this is true though. Can't wait! ><

Inevitable. Please, no SHAFT... Though if it is SHAFT, please, no webcast. Also I've now just realized there's no Kamiya Hiroshi this season, feels empty.

HELL YES.

Shinobu won't be silent anymore and therefore not the best Hirano role to date.

Even though SHAFT tested my patience until it couldn't be tested anymore...I still look forward to this. And yes, I believe it probably will be SHAFT considering the source material.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the 'gatari'..

FU** YEAH 8D

aldkjgadl;gjad;

YAY.

Can't wait.

hell yer this is awesome news :D

the story is before or after bakemonogatari event?

Deleted some quotechaining. Stop it.

Best news I've heard since my birthday.. which was yesterday.

WOOOOOOOO

YES YES YES. I just hope we get all complete animated episodes from SHAFT this time.

who the fuck didnt see this coming...

shafted again.

but yeah this was kind of expected.

damn, this is good news XD

Yay:D Can't wait.

Nisemonogatari is possibly next. :3

Hooray!

I am the soul of my body.
Bakemono is my body, and Monogatari is my blood.
I have watched over a thousand animes.
Unknown to Gore.
Nor known to Spammer.
Have withstood pain to watch many "stories".
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, 'Unlimited Gorespammer Works'.

Would of been better if it wasn't SHAFT, but oh well at least they done a decent job on Bakemonogatari... The real question is the length of the series...

pls no waiting period on last eps :V

Good to hear. Is there any confirmation of whether it's going to be SHAFT working on it or not?

The Kizu LN is less than half of Bake's length, right? Is this just going to be a 6 episode OVA series or something?

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!
I hope they still stick with SHAFT and the original cast.

Can't wait for it~ :/

I hope the series would turn out great. I dont want to wait a whole year to watch one series again. Maybe I should wait until they finish airing it and then I'll marathon it.

Sweet news!

Hell yeah.
Who's ready to get SHAFT'd again?

Shaft would better animate it fully this time , but then again , we're talking about Shaft ... It will probably be another fail .

I want to watch this NOW... :C

AWESOME!~I can't wait!^_^

Will this be like a season two of bakemaontori or however you spell it or will it be before the bakementori series, One thing I am worried about are we going to be waiting 6 to 8 months per episode like last time. They should really give us a heads ups if this is before or after bakementori

EVERYONE GO to U tube the trailer is posted for the new series, its pretty cool looks like it will be non stop vampire battles, check it out its on u tube the whole trailer

I am so very happy right now.

I've been expecting this announcement to come for a long time, but I'm still glad to hear it!

great news, but this time I'll wait until it's completed and then I'm gonna watch it ..

Great news
Finally more of Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade ^^

I have this novel~~ la la la.

As well as bakemonogatari and nisemonogatari, but nekomonogatari?
Something new~~

not in my collection.

Hell Freakin YEAA ! !

I'm very much looking forward to this. I really wanted to know what happened before Bakemonogatari.

Also, how much more of this story is there besides Kizumonogatari and Bakemonogatari?

I'd rather see Nisemonogatari, but Kizu's perfectly fine too. Hopefully the same staff as Bakemonogatari, means Shinbou, Ooishi & others at SHAFT =)

First was kizumonogatari later bakemonogatari then nisemonogatari, and now it seems they have nekomonogatari.

Thanks. Interesting to know there's still more after Bakemonogatari.

will see

well..guess il have to watch sinch bakemono was pretty good...
