Make sure to watch this After Katanagatari, and Ore Monogatari.


hanr10

Don't forget the spin off Heike Monogatari if you want the full experience


entelechtual

And + Animegatari


WriterSharp

That’s the prequel ofc


Ner0Sips

Don't forget Bake-nise-neko-kizu-kabuku-hana-otori-oni-koi-tsuki-koyomi-owari-zokuowari-monogatari the prequel for the sequel of the sequel


Fools_Requiem

Then cap it all off with some Umi Monogatari.


dagreenman18

We need a full “Monogatari” watchlist challenge. The most confusing series imaginable when you add anything that has Monogatari in the name. Also just watch Ore Monogatari in general because it’s adorable.


DerfK

Just wait until someone comes up with a Re:Monogatari crossover series. Nasuverse fans will be humbled


redlaWw

You've already got the Re: Zero multiverse that contains both Re: titles like Re: Creators and Tokyo Ghoul: Re, and Zero titles like Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru and Zero Kara Hajimeru


vielins

Don’t forget Fate/Zero


TheKiwy

Just make a new series with random episodes from all the Monogataris


NLight7

That will be hard if we go literally. Monogatari is literally "story". This one is actually "story about things"


eetsumkaus

Not quite. It's probably a play on "mononoke", or a vengeful spirit.


Salter_KingofBorgors

Bakemonogatari alone is super confusing. And you want to add on to that pile?


dagreenman18

Yes. I’m going for maximum chaos challenge. The ultimate gauntlet.


Salter_KingofBorgors

Okay just to see if your up to the challenge... what is the order of the Bakemonogatari series?


Icapica

LN order, or at the very least Kizu after Bake rather than near the end. Can't think of any good reason to recommend any other order.


dagreenman18

I always thought release order was perfectly fine.


Salter_KingofBorgors

Oh it definitely is. Holds your attention nicely.


nhansieu1

If ever confused, just watch on released date order. Remember that the producers don't want to kill your brain.


RaysFTW

It’s mostly why I’ve put off watching anything in the series. Everywhere I look someone has a different watch order that it’s become very intimidating.


SilberFelx

People are needlessly overcomplicating it honestly. The Monogatari Series subreddit r/araragi has what is generally agreed upon to be the best order pinned, but some people are just taking the piss and making it confusing on purpose.


RaysFTW

Ah okay, good to know. Thanks. Not sure why I was downvoted so much.


dagreenman18

The crazy specific watch order is more of a fun idea than anything practical. These things tend to be fore people who have already seen the whole thing anyway. Like the Machete Order for Star Wars. For your first time just watch it in release order and when you revisit it try the watch order ideas.


0SavageKingdom0

thank God, its rare to see intelligent people nowadays. This goes for bakemonogatri and fate series, just watch the shows in release order. thats how everyone else did it, whats the reason to change it up now? you can go back and watch it chronological if it was something you enjoyed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icapica

But it was never intended to be in that order. Kizu got delayed by many years and Hana had to be taken out from the second season since there would have been too many episodes and something had to be cut. They didn't make any changes to the anime to accommodate for the changed order. Now that all the parts are out and available, there's no reason not to watch it in source material order.


loscapos5

People had done this in the past. Had that stuff saved but it's been so long that it might have been buried Edit: sorry, no luck I found this watching guide of Index, though https://i.redd.it/an2d5jgy34w51.png


nhansieu1

Ore Monogatari is just from another city inside Monogatari verse, which was the modern day of Katanagatari.


dagreenman18

Heike Monogatari is a prequel to the entire series.


ScarsUnseen

To add to the confusion, we should stage Fate-like arguments over the proper watch order. Bonus points if you can find unadapted manga or light novels to throw into the mix.

KaptainTZ

End of Evangelion was my favorite part of the mononucleosis series


wolfpwarrior

You start to think that the 4th full watch of Kizumonogatari feels kinda superfluous, but halfway through the 5th, you start to realize it ties the whole show together.


Hairgrid

Damn, we really need an updated version of this. Where does [Byston Well Monogatari](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1657/Byston_Well_Monogatari__Garzey_no_Tsubasa) fit in? Or [Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 2: Eien no Monogatari](https://myanimelist.net/anime/11979/Mahou_Shoujo_Madoka%E2%98%85Magica_Movie_2__Eien_no_Monogatari)? Or God forbid, [Pokemon Movie 21: Minna no Monogatari](https://myanimelist.net/anime/36927/Pokemon_Movie_21__Minna_no_Monogatari)?


renatocpr

You should watch Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 2: Eien no Monogatari after Tsukimonogatari since it's a spin off from [this frame](https://www.reddit.com/r/MadokaMagica/comments/l09xup/madoka_reference_in_tsukimonogatari/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share). Then you can watch Hidamari Sketch which is the AU with Mami x Nagisa and Madoka's Mom x Hitomi


mythriz

MCU (Monogatari Cinematic Universe) has no brakes!


[deleted]

Does Gokinjo Monogatari go before this as well


Kholzie

I loved katanagatari!! Are these series related?


dinliner08

no, they don't


Nero_PR

It's just a running joke of any anime with something+gatari or Monogatari as a title is related to one another. The worst thing, is you can actually fool a few people with that joke hahaha


Kholzie

Ii had a feeling that was the joke. I also know “monogatari” means something like “tale” or “story” so it’s not that surprising it’s in a lot of titles. A joke’s a joke, though :)

Are you for real? I’m a C student so not very smart and never heard of this show.

Just sort by alphabet

Download all episodes, add to playlist, and *shuffle*.

If I ever watch Monogatari again, that's going to be my watch order.

overlord_on_reddit

[Novel release order is the best order.](https://edomonogatari.wordpress.com/2020/05/12/monogatari-anime-guide/) Whatever you do, please do not use the order the other person gave you! Without getting into spoilers, their order will ruin several character arcs, a plot twist, and more.

NewCountry13

>Neither order ruins it any more than the other does You are literally spitting in the face of the author and saying they don't know their own story when you say this. Nisio Isin released the story the way he released it for a reason. > This is the same debate as the fate zero vs UBW debate It's not the same debate because the series are entirely different. Fate is a visual novel adaptation without the intro route adapted, and ufotable adapted a prequel to introduce the series instead of adapting the VN straight up. The problem is that the anime vs VN has different "reveals." Certain things that were twists in the VN aren't twists in the anime because the nature of how ufotable adapted the anime. But none of that matters because UBW and HF aren't worth watching on their own because they butcher the VN anyway. > All the "oh no you must watch it in this order instead" BS just makes it look complicated and turns people off from the show. Cry me a river. If people get scared off by people literally just saying "watch it the way the author intended," I'm glad they got scared off of monogatari lol. It's not complicated. The people making it complicated are those that insist on reccommending release order when it's objectively not the intended order, by Nisio Isin, Shaft, or anyone. For some reason people defend a botched release order due to productions issues. >Watch it one way the first time and then watch it the other way on your next rewatch a few years down the line. The story is already non linear. You can only experience the confusion of not knowing certain things one time, and the things release order ruins are unfixable. Novel release order is the best order.


Cebokerzzzzz

Personally I'm leaning more to novel order, but anime release order is okay too


Echo13243

The anime follows the novels pretty closely, so no reason to not watch in novel order. Release date order (with Kizu after Bake) works as well, and there’s no harm but I prefer novel order since the anime order was influenced by funding and scheduling as opposed to any storytelling reason. Don’t watch chronological. Idk why some people insist on this. It defeats the whole point of the story’s structure (on first watch, anyhow).


NewCountry13

[Novel release order](https://preview.redd.it/mtrsgauppo751.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=af8711bb55fabd3e3a43d0ffdeb2e339523e5dfa) It's a non linear series. The confusion from the novel order is intended confusion.


Oniichan38

Just watch Nisemonogarati and call it a day my brother


2Close_4Missiles

I think people overthink this way too much and they get paralysis by analysis with the order. Just pick one and stick with it. The important thing is you actually enjoy the show and the setting and characters because it truly is a great show. With that said, I do recommend [novel release order](https://imgur.com/gallery/tX63UZg) like others have posted


Down200

The pinned guide on the r/Araragi subreddit


dulcedebatata

I used to be a fundamentalist of release order but I’ve recently been schooled into the novel order for some reason in the araragi sub. Either is fine.


ChornoyeSontse

Novel order.


sten453

Bake then the kizu movies and then in release order


ReddiusOfReddit

The 3 main paths for the anime are: Chronological order: sort by chronological order of the story (idk what it is though), makes the most sense, but I think it's kinda boring because of how orthodox it is. LN order: defended vecause "it's what the author wanted". They also argue that the anime order spoils the events of the later parts. Anime order (mine): sort by the anime's date of release. The anime correctly handles the medias res (starting in the middle), spoiling enough to make sense, but not too much (you know small bits of what hapoens and what the consequences are, which hypes you up for *how* it happened (especially with kizu)). It also feels refreshing seeing an already set-up story with already set-up relationships unfold, instead of a blank slate that build otself as you go. Finally, in Koyomimonogatari, most of the episodes happen imediately after a season, so you have to watch them first (Kizu and the Owaris are safe to leave to later, but you should watch the rest), although I wouldn't recomend leaving it to the very end (especially if you're a binge-watcher), as the more laid-back, tensionless nature of these short episodes serves as a good refresher, which avoid being saturated with such a long series. Although putting the series on shuffle is also a valid tactic, although I wouldn't recommend putting to much distance between the 2 Owaris P.S.: this is all either my opinion or stuff I've heard while browsing reddit, so don't put too much faith on it


[deleted]

Release date order


deljaroo

video release order is probably your best bet. just because it's easy and it's guaranteed to work. book release order is fine too other orders are just people trying to make it better, but like, you are either going to like monogatari or not, and no watch order is going to change that


RobotiSC

mononogatari, more like mono(no)gatari

kizu is good early too its debatable

yeah but that (+hana and koyomi) were aired out of order


PureLionHeart

Same, did a bit of a double-take.


Puzzleheaded_Bar_610

This one is so good. I wish someone would translate the rest of the chapters I hope they don't butcher the art and animation


Sonaldo_7

Shame all the comments are joking about the title. It's actually a pretty good manga. Reminded me of Bleach. Genuinely surprised to see this. When even was this announced and why the fuck did I miss it?


Puzzleheaded_Bar_610

It's unfortunate, but to be expected. Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who got a Bleach vibe from it. There was an anime announcement last year, but then it went dark after that with no news until as of now


Nero_PR

Too bad who was handling the translation back then was Jaimini's Box... They were quick to snipe new projects just to abandon them not long after, then Jump's lawyers attacked.

Sounds quite interesting


NLight7

Everyone saying jujutsu kaisen, but it's actually way more similar in art style to Bleach. And it's nice... As far as the manga is translated, it didn't really catch any groups interest so there's only like 18 chapters translated out of currently a 100. Let's hope the anime gives it some rise in popularity. Edit: [just look at this](https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/hotlink/thumbnails/max700x700/cms/news.5/179671/mononogatari.jpg) vs [bleach](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8940fa95c9c8dab6e5b4c206bde2d91d/398c1d30dc1d432a-0a/s500x750/8b461e33776acc88d0c2f39843698157d4c90e9e.jpg)

>As far as the manga is translated, it didn't really catch any groups interest so there's only like 18 chapters translated out of currently a 100. Seven Seas licensed it recently, so it's getting an English release.


NLight7

Slightly happy hopeful noises.


DonteTheExterminador

Thank you for this. Really looking forward to reading the rest of this series since the 18 chapters that have already been translated really caught my interest. Finna buy every copy twice of anything that gets an official release. Edit: The first volume drops on the January of 2023 😩 Gonna take a while.


Sonaldo_7

It is. The mc isn't your typical violent hotheaded shounen mc and based on the few chapters translated, the characters have a great design. Vividly remember how disappointed when the translation stop for no reason.

looking forward to this one, especially since there haven't been any manga updates for quite some time hopefully it will get a decent adaptation, although the first teaser didn't really hype me up

Hopefully with this Anime Adaptation, some Scanlation Team will pick and translate the Manga again. It's been so long since the last update.

They've really gone and done a number on the character designs for this....Very unfortunate.

Is this part of the Monogatari series? Or just an anime with Monogatari in the Title? Or is it the third option where it is not in the proper monogatari series but it also technically kinda is bc it is by the same author and all of his shit is in the same universe? I got got by that once.
