And this is sarcasm. It's waste of time, a waste of ressource and a waste of money. They shouldn't have made this so called "PV".
Well, anyway... I am hyped by what is to come. Mayoi hell, especially.

I think Shaft will be fine. They got resources and have probably been planning this out for a hot minute. Compared to other studios, they're being pretty moderate with the amount of titles they're taking.
And yet stuff like Mekakucity Actors can still happen. A HUGE show requiring all focus three seasons in row is worrisome especially since at least some of them will most likely be worked on at the same time.
Not saying mistakes haven't happen, every studio has fucked up, even Madhouse, that's just life. Also if memory serves me correctly, the only major animation problem with Mekakucity was the horrid CGI sequence, in terms of story and all that... that falls on the production committee, script writer, and director(s) not necessarily the entire studio itself, they're just animating. But considering their track record, I'd say Shaft has it under control. We have no idea if they've hired new staff and expanded, along other things. Shaft can animate Monogatari like the back of their hand, so if there's one show that's a what if, that's probably Fate Extra. But again, they've probably been working on all these shows for a while now. Shaft wouldn't have taken up the projects if they didn't think it was feasible to. Besides the Monogatari movies, Shaft didn't have a lot last year so there's been some preparing for sure and imo, Lion didn't seem too demanding of a project, seemed fairly easy for them. So that just gives more resources two the other two (we also don't know what the episode counts are).
There's a lot of things to consider, so I wouldn't worry THAT much.

Monogatari may never end and that's how it should be.
Owarimonogatari three was my favorite book and favorite three arcs of the franchise ... until Off Season... can't wait for all of it to be animated!
Preach it. While I would eventually want a day to come where Nisio puts the series to rest, I don't mind if he just keeps making more books either. I'm glad SHAFT wants to animate it all.
That said, I hope the new season garners enough attention that Vertical ends up licensing more of the books too.
Speaking of English, Koyomimonogatari never did get an official western release. Not sure what's up with Aniplex of America these days. I bought the import box set but I really thought it would get released here eventually.

Isn't Musubimonogatari the last Off Season book and then Nisio plans to make Shinobumonogatari which is part of "Monster Season"?

This is great and all, but will this season not adapt Zoku-Owari? I mean, they didn't mention Koyomi Reverse being adapted.
It will not adapt the Zoku. Well we should wait for that sadly.

Anyway, this is going to be good.

on one hand - FUCK YEAAAAAAAHA. Second best series of the year will actually happen.
On other hand - RIP SHAFT. With so many shows this year and with such budget-demanding works like Fate/Extra how will they actually manage to handle this all? 3Gatsu, Owari and Fate Extra in a single years sounds like a production hell. And neither of the three shows should suffer that.
This is my exact thoughts since I was told they're pretty much bad at managing when it comes to schedules and at the same time with the entire resource, so the best bet its to expect to have one of the 3 shows to get a huge decline somehow. I don't really know.

Why anyone would want to stop people watching a trailer is beyond me.

Now I see why Shaft wants to keep this announcement till AJ.
Great job anyways. AOTS 2017 is decided(unless Zoku Owarimonogatari airs this year as well).
