show this amv to that friend who hasn't seen monogatari - Blast Off 「AMV」 

Yeah, this AMV is better at advertising Kizumonogatari than Monogatari in general. Still Monogatari is a great anime.

@@yoman7873 it’s better at advertising the Bakemonogatari manga

Tried to get into monogatari, holy shit is it slow next to no action(didn’t make it too far into the first season coz I got bored)

@@Jarasonic327 That's fair enough, it's not for everyone

This is why you never recommend to watch Kizumonogatari first lol, people get expectations of a show that is entirely different from the movie they watched

exactly this lmao

Pretty much lmao. I can’t believe this masterpiece passes through people’s minds

You can recomend It to... Someone that has problems with Itself

@@iammyself6774 Ok imma watch it then

Well said

Yikes Monogatari just got compared to Twilight

Kizu which this is mostly based on has fight scenes but don't expect them in the actual series. You might get one fight scene for 10 seconds per season.

Anything's better if you set the bar at minus

da fuq dude, you really compared Monogatari with Twilight.

I once watched an emu take a s***. It was better than Twilight.

Kind of hard to hype up 20 minutes of dialogue in an AMV. Even if it is amazing

Is it not ?

@@ZAKINGOFDESPAIR no lol. Monogatari series is more dialogue and challenges you mentally than it having action. You should watch it, definitely recommend if you’re not new to anime ofc.

@@sushiwooshi3965 ah Okie thx

@@ZAKINGOFDESPAIR it's a supernatural psicological mistery series. Usually the crux of each arc is some supernatural being/s and the characters have to figure out how it works/ how to make it stop; but since these supernatural entities are linked to one( or more) specific character's feeling/trauma it's also a way to explore the character's Psyche.

There is many things I can say are flaws in the series, Art Style, Animation, Story, Writing, Characters, Music, and Dialogue are not any of them.

@@lochansokki7962 hana?

Bro, you're exactly me. I love This series so fucking much. Its my favourite anime of all time

True but though it not the same I recommend Kara no kyoukai: the garden of sinners movie series or English just called the garden of sinners. It a movie series of 7 movies not including the other 2 movies Mirai funkin and extra chorus which makes it 9 movies. It a cult detective with strong themes of psychological/philosophical themes and can be quite dark at times but very beautiful story special finish it all and looking back on how far things came. Though it not told in chronological order and can have quite dialogue at times but if can get over that I say ya give a try one my most favorite animes. Oh I forgot it also one of the other worlds of the fate series world so share common ideals in world building but no holy grail war so. I think the movie series deserve more recognition and praise hope you enjoy too. The monogatari series one my top favorites too so along with some other mature psychological/philosophical theme animes.

I oftentimes had to pause & backup just to comprehend the intense visuals from those conversations.

What anime is this ?

@@itz-dc-6244 monogatari

A work of art indeed. This video was the trigger for me to watch this anime. LOVE IT ^_^.

An AMV is just a video to go with the music, not the other way Anime "Music Video"

I think it’s okay if it uses sappy music but it should at least go with the music video. Godforbid I see a song about heart break set to a compilation of fight scenes from demon slayer or some shitz

@@genyashinagawa3301

You should check out “into the labyrnth” by lolligerjoj. A very unconventional amv and it’s monogatari. Has a surreal feel like this one

Fr, like name better anime movies than Kizumonogatari trilogy, I'll wait

​@@callmeweeb4350 fuck, we will be waiting forever.

@@callmeweeb4350 Mugen train was pretty good

​@@callmeweeb4350rebellion?

owarimonogatari has better animation imo

When there's action it's great but the show is a good 80% talking which is great if you're into that but not so much if not.

please don't form an opinion of the show from the amv your expectations will be way out of line from what the show is, it's nothing like future diary, AoT or Devilman. You really can't compare this show to anything else, it's if you watch it you ain't ever finding anything like it again, at least I haven't.

@@takeuchi5760 I like how EVERYONE in this comment section that haven't watched Monogatari saying what they think they show is going to be are so wrong and out of place.

It really looks like an upped version of Devilman crybaby when it comes to animation, style and effects goddamn it looks good

@@takeuchi5760 lmao indeed the op's comment is an absolute mess, but again its just op's way to describe things by within op's knowledge.

Couldn't agree more, I already knew by 0:31

❤

Yeah you REALLY can’t recommend it to newbies or normies. To call it intense is an understandment. But it’s so insanely good, on its premise it should have been impossible to pull off but it was done masterfully.

@Ashley Nu Hey I wonder from your background what your read is on Kanbaru. On account that she is a lesbian who ends up hitting on the main (male) character a lot. I've already seen a lot of concincing arguments about what is going on here before but not yet from someone who has the feminist angle.

@@chirstinasilver7274 it’s not so much that the male protag hits on the lesbian side character as it is the lesbian side character actively teases the male protag. Kanbaru takes pleasure in making Araragi uncomfortable and does it in a playful manner. It’s actually interesting with this series because Araragi is largely uninterested in all the female side characters outside his established gf (and of course Shinobu who is more stuck with him than anything). The other girls may not share that level of interest but he largely just sees them as platonic friends and nothing else.

@@chirstinasilver7274 I also read that wrong so take that comment as you wish.

@@chirstinasilver7274 This is kind of difficult, but I will try not to go too long (EDIT: I failed). There is the first-pass interpretation (that is a useful place to start) that she is in the archetype of both an athletics/sports character and an erotic character intended to be sexually provocative. The text more or less states it flat-out, and with it whatever damnation the viewer feels appropriate for exploiting archetypes that have shown themselves to be commercially successful and broadly resonant. The feminist lens is largely one of contextualising the conventions of story-telling by maintaining an awareness that the those memes were largely developed around very patriarchal assumptions, if not created by circles of authors dominated by men, and for a presumed plurality straight masculine audience. So then the problem is: how does one possibly exploit the most pronounced conventions that were sharpened around this mess to create something with actual strong characters? It's a problem of pulling the 'resonant' part from the 'cynical commercial' part in making use of the most popular archetypes. I think this might be basically impossible, but I'm here for the brain-breaking contradictions that come out of it. This is kind of what I was getting at in the initial post with 'the best pre-commodified story-telling can do', because there is a strong defence for why she is depicted like it is, and it is to do with repressed sexuality, but no matter how far it might go in substantiating its characters, it can't really fully escape the 'pre-commodified' part. But good/bad news everyone: that's basically everything new with any decent budget or distribution to it. Firstly, the noteworthy aspect of how downplayed her sexuality is: she doesn't go out of her way to re-state herself, or make light of her sexuality, or pine repeatedly for no other reason but to remind us of her sexuality. But then why would she if she were meant to be properly grounded as a character? She is gay, and clearly not particularly comfortable about it. Which is incredibly ironic, because she is always making suggestive comments to Koyomi about herself. This is where it bumps into that potential to be viewed purely as exploitative, but I don't think so: the denial of the easy depictions is much better than the alternative, and I absolutely buy an active person who's repressed their sexuality being obnoxiously provocative to one of the few people she's out to. If you've ever known someone who had to conceal their sexuality, they can become uncomfortably forthright about it with the few people they are comfortable with--even in contradictory ways, since figuring out sexuality can lead you down a lot of weird avenues. Anyway, this extends to her reading/collection of BL: I've known many queer women to enjoy this genre. The removal from situations that one would be in oneself is part of the appeal, as well as the fact that such media tends to be aimed at women. Yuri often suffers from the problem of a presumed straight male audience, and so all of the pop-cultural conventions of objectifying women's bodies bear down on it, and as a result it becomes extremely difficult to depict gay women without veering into difficulties of taste and influence. The kinds of questions like 'to what extent is this playing on the conventions of simplistic voyeuristic garbage?' Men's bodies are so comparatively neglected in this paradigm that BL is able to do all kinds of things that never run this risk, precisely because the highly sexualised depictions of men are much more sequestered to this space. I can't help but feel there is a connection between the text choosing not to exploit her sexuality and the recurring piles of BL in her room. Anyway, It does seem safe to say that Monogatari deliberately chooses to not depict her expressing her 'actual' sexuality until it is absolutely related to the story. In light of those conventions I've mentioned before, and how far this show goes with embodying some of the way worse tendencies in the LN/manga/anime space, this seems extremely note-worthy, because it means there is a deliberate choice to directly avoid exploiting her being gay for easy depictions. I find this aspect to be very effective, since it guarantees the moments her sexuality comes to the surface become way more powerful. A great example would be when Numachi Rouka responds to Kanbaru admitting her sexuality, taunting that she suspected Kanbaru because of how she looked at her teammates when they were rivals. Her inner monologue reads: 'I never looked at my teammates that way.' Followed immediately by, '...At least, I hope I didn't.' If the text was having her flaunt her gayness all the time it would be weird to expect anyone to care about this, but here instead we get to feel that sudden lead of insecurity that would absolutely accompany a situation like this happening to a person, and it's so effective! Like I said in the first post, this show broke my brain: it can seem so flippant about the exploiting its characters' bodies from the Koyomi/viewer lens (often to just indefensible degrees), but also so accountable to its human characters that are unapologetically dealing with very mundane social dynamics. I think ultimately I prefer a conceptual approach that is at least trying to carry all this ambient and repressed horniness rather than to side-step it.

The second go around is much better!!! It gives context to the opening scene in bake, you just really understand a lot of things you didnt before

enjoy the ride. and welcome to the cult brother. or sister, idk how korean names work.

No I relate to this very much, I’m still putting it off even though I know the character’s names. I’ll probably be starting it this week

The only thing keeping me from watching is i don't know which order to watch it innnnnnn

@@emberdragon4248 Yeah, same. I was also quite confused when I wanted to start. After learning about the different watch orders, it was a bit less confusing but still a lot to follow. If you’d like, you can follow the watch order I’m following right now. Bakemonogatari (15 ep) Kizumonogatari (3 movies) Nisemonogatari (11 ep) Nekomonogatari: Kuro (4 ep) Monogatari Second Season (26 ep) Hanamonogatari (5 ep) Tsukimonogatari (4 ep) Owarimonogatari (12 ep) Koyomimonogatari (12 ep) Owarimonogatari Second Season (3 ep) Zoku Owarimonogatari (6 ep) These are all the released anime titles not strictly in the release order but more in line with the original light novels. Hope this helps

I did the same thing for the longest time and had so much regret by the time I finally finished it, I really should have watched it much sooner. Easily in my top 5 favorite series, it is in all seriousness a true work of art

Ditto.

Same

Same.

w setsu pfp

I must now watch this series for the first time les goo

True

Lmao

Following something for the fap isn't being true to anime.

Well gosh are you missing out. Because the AMV’s coming out now are amazing, one of my favorites is the Bibliomania AMV, they use ‘The Greatest Living Show’, and goddam is it good.

Guess I'll have to watch that too. ​@@valdevitch1999

Let me watch it like this then

Hanamonogatari in the last? It should be watched after the first 2 arcs of monogatari s2 or right after completion of s2, why put it in the end?

@@maxihyfr8048 the most trusted order is this one- 📌Season 1 (Bakemonogatari) (Kizumonogatari) (Nisemonogatari) (Nekomonogatari) 📌Season 2 (Monogatari 2nd Season) (Hanamonogatari) 📌Season 3 (Tsukimonogatari) (Koyomimonogatari) (Owarimonogatari S1) (Owarimonogatari S2) (Zoku Owarimonogatari) However, the order which the og wrote is also a good order especially if you're a starter except for I don't see why they put hana in the last

@@callmeweeb4350 thanks

@@callmeweeb4350 That’s just the generic watch order that goes around, why would you want to spoil the climax in Owarimonogatari by watching Hanamonogatari in the middle? I say this as someone who watched it that way based off the exact same generic recommendation you added here. Hanamonogatari is at the chroniclogical end and ties up the final loose ends for Suruga while giving you a taste of what post-climax is like before it spoils you. The reason I’ve restructured it is to increase the mystery and climactic buildup specifically for first-time watchers. Also Neko should be watched after kizu as they are broth prequels and one follows right after the other.

Enjoy the final ride. I'm holding out hope they decide to animate the extra story arcs.

I was about to mention Into the Labyrinth myself. My absolute favourite!

yo so, in my music recap last year, this video was 1st place hahah

It really is it’s own thing. Infinitely fascinating, and I’m sure you’d love it, but they went for an art piece and on the whole, more than delivered. Worth checking out! Also, watch Bake first, then Kizu (the movies). Then the release order.

@@awkward_chaos8322 have fun! There’s not a whole lot of good ‘drama’ anime but this one does take the cake!

You've got quite a lot to watch, but please do share how it goes. It's always nice to hear other people's input on a show you love, even if it ends up being negative.

@@connorr8071 how long is it?

@@roycheung6860 9 series & 3 movies, incorporating over two dozen arcs. Most arcs only last 2-4 episodes, though, with a select few being as short as a single episode or as long as 7 episodes. Honestly, it looks really intimidating from the outside, but it's not like you're starting One Piece or something. Once you start watching, the arcs just seem to fly by. At least, that was my experience.

@@roycheung6860 The watch order is intimidating, too, but I just went in release order and didn't have any problems I wouldn't have had otherwise, so I'll suggest that.

I personally think the ln order is the definitive best order to watch the series.
