Short Review: (free spoiler)
Tsukimonogatari is a wonderful anime. It's a continuation of Monogatari 2nd, so I think all of you who see this anime knows the story's overall. The story revolves around Araragi and Ononoki, basically, with others will support the entire anime. Well, It's just 4 episodes with a combination of mystery, vampire, and ecchi (well, of course, especially that man of culture). However, I feel, also at least as good as their predecessor. If you are fans of the Ononoki Yotsugi, you most likely will love this OVA.
Anyway, in any case, you may think you will dislike it, I don't recommend and avoid this anime at all cost for those who hate to see a lot of ecchi and well, that sister. Of course, you must smart enough why you are here. You are watching the Monogatari series that obviously has unique story-telling + you have seen and watched Nisemonogatari. Besides things that I have written before, you most likely will like this anime.
Long Review: (may contain spoilers)
After watching Tsukimonogatari, I will write the review and break down what I think and feel for this anime.
Story & Plot (8/10)
Tsukimonogatari doesn't have to much offer for the story. Well, it isn't a problem because it's only 4 episodes long. However, this anime has a solid story and plot that as good as the prequel of this anime. The story-telling is unique to Monogatari, which is consistent from the start Monogatari. Mainly, you will see a dialogue between Koyomi with other people and occasionally see monologue.
Dialogue sometimes is complicated. For example, you will see it mostly in episodes 2 and 3. You must focus on understanding the topic and problem to get a picture of the main problem. However, the dialogue sometimes is funny and exciting, too, for example, mostly in episode 1 to the halfway of episode 2.
For those who fans with Ononoki Yostugi, this OVA will be one that most likely you enjoy watching. Moreover, if you fans with Kagenui Yozuru, who fight with Koyomi at Nisemonogatari, you will like this OVA.
Art & Animation (10+/10)
Well, I don't know, but for Tsukimonogatari, I feel that the art and animation are somewhat greater than previous anime. Anyway, the visualization is really excellent, too. Both the overall and detail is well composed. I quite enjoy the depiction that will help watcher to understand the anime better. You will get a lot of high-quality meme pictures and ideas from this OVA, especially Shinobu and Yostugi.
The opening animation is excellent and colorful. It combines the color gradation and motion, making you try to watch more that one time. Honestly, I really love that snow battle, despite it is very distractive. Lastly, you will get the finest quality of the fantastic that Fire Sister (you can say that fanservice, obviously). Watch it yourself, and you will know.
Sound & Music (10+/10)
OST is fantastic. It's really great to emphasize the ambiance and atmosphere, some of which are my favorite. The sounds are excellent and place in the right place, too. The voice actor is awesome, too, and I feel that no flaws from them. The because I really can't imagine when the VA of Ononoki singing the song, the result is Opening is unbelievable and unexpectedly catchy. The ending is top-notch, too, with ClariS singing "Border."
Character (10+/10)
This one that I really love. The anime is implicit and explicit development for most of the characters. You can see it really well in the anime, especially the Koyomi part. Telling in here will reveal a massive spoiler, but the one most I like and I will take for my life here is "the more you lose, the more mature you are." I feel that one of the best statements that I've seen so far, and I experience it in my real life, too. The next one is how Koyomi and pals handle the problem. It is really well executed in anime and gives a solid conclusion about the arc, too. Last, the event the character is developing is really well, don't hope that the man of culture will change to a non-pervert person.
Enjoyment and conclusion (9/10)
Gladly, I enjoy this one. The blend of music, sound, and art is really well. The fanservice is well synchronized with the story and memorable. Some of the scenes are really funny to watch. I even replayed the snowball fighting about 5 times (LOL) (笑). All of them are worth rewatch, especially to refresh the memory and understand some of the anime's plot hole that better explains.
Overall
I track my score for all episodes (4) and OP/ED
Episode - Score
(1) - 9.75 (for that family, imouto, and bath scenes)
(2) - 9.75 (for that hilarious pose, toy machine, and that crying face)
(3) - 9.5 (for that distraction of snow playing)
(4) - 10 (for that man of the culture and that quotes)
Total Raw Score: 38.5
Main Anime Score: 39/4 x 10 x 90% = 87.8
Opening & Ending Score: 105 x 10% = 10.5
Total Score is 98.3 that means overall score is 10
Hopefully, that you are helped by this review!!!
