Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season - Zankoku Douwa: Utsukushi-hime

The order the author originally wrote the series in, preferred by most Monogatari fans. The most recommended order for first time anime watchers.

Highly recommended to watch the Blu-ray version as a lot of animation decisions are changed due to financial restraints in the TV version.

Vampires, ghosts, head-tilts and donuts. It can only be the Monogatari Series! Based on a series of light novels by Nisioisn, the Monogatari series really boomed in popularity after Studio Shaft adapted the novels into anime. The Monogatari series follows highschooler, Koyomi Araragi, who, during Spring Break, had a fateful encounter with a vampire. Throughout the series, Araragi discovers several of his classmates are also struggling with their own personal issues, which are often tied to some kind of supernatural phenomenon or apparition.

This is definitely not a show that will be to everyone’s tastes however. It is not so much plot-driven, and instead focuses almost entirely on the characters themselves, which leads to a very dialogue heavy show.

What makes the Monogatari series so unique is the way in which the series is laid out. Each season is released non-chronologically, with each new entry jumping back and forth between points in time. But thats not all! The english translation for “monogatari” means stories, and that’s exactly what it is, a series of short stories that are woven together. Each of the individual anime releases follows one particular story, or is several of them grouped together. Each of these stories fit together and make up Monogatari’s three “Seasons”.

It's the SHAFT release order but Kizumonogatari comes after Bakemonogatari as it was unintentionally delayed.

Koyomi Vamp is a compilation movie with very few additional scenes and a lot of removed scenes, it's optional.

When it comes to enjoying the Monogatari Series, there are various perspectives on how best to approach the viewing experience.
Different individuals have their own beliefs on the ideal order in which to watch the series.

• Some suggest watching it in Studio Shaft's intended order, as they may have structured the animation in a specific way.
• Others advocate for following the light novel order, as this is how the author intended the story to be told.
• Additionally, some viewers prefer to watch the series in chronological order to better understand the timeline of events.
• While others create their very own watch order.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is a guide to help you choose the best order to watch the Monogatari Series:

1. Studio Shaft's Order / Anime Release Order: It is advised to avoid watching the series in Studio Shaft's order as this order may not provide the intended viewing experience as some shows were delayed in release, potentially leading to confusion and spoilers that could impact your enjoyment of the series..

2. Light Novel Order: Watching the series in the order of the light novels will provide you with the intended experience and excitement as envisioned by the author. This approach allows viewers to immerse themselves in the story as intended by the creator.

3. Chronological Order: While watching the series in chronological order may help in understanding the timeline of events and character development, it may diminish the unique storytelling and enjoyment that comes from experiencing the series in its original format & the element of discovery and piecing together the narrative across different timelines can add to the overall viewing experience will also be missing.

4. Personal Order: While some viewers may have their own preferred watch order, it is important to note that these orders may not be suitable for beginners and could potentially impact their understanding and enjoyment of the series.

Ultimately, the choice of watch order is up to you.
But for beginners, it is highly recommended to watch the Monogatari Series in the order of the light novels for the best viewing experience.

I watched it all in release order at 1st & had no issue in that regard, however Light Novel Order is the near universally preferred order & thus I've chosen to mostly* abide as it's not as hard as it once was to do so.
It's HIGHLY recommended to watch the Blu-ray versions of these as a lot of animation decisions are changed due to financial restraints in the TV version.
