Monogatari Series: First Season
| Shinobu starts to become much more prevalent after Bake and watching Kizu just after it will give a better understanding of the relationship between her and Koyomi. I watched it after Bake and really loved it, but I can also see why some people would say to save it for later and let yourself build up hype for it. It's not super necessary to watch after Bake but it's definitely recommended. |

| Chronologically this is the very beginning but you first must watch Araragi's and Shinobu's relationship so you can understand certain things better. Just watch the entire franchise in airing order. That's the best order. |

mattnoce said: Okay so I understand that the watch order for monogatari is very disputed, just like the fate series. After watching several videos and reading threads, it seems like the main big difference is where this trilogy is in the watch order. Some say to watch it right after bakemonogatari (which I haven’t started yet) and some have it at the way end. Can someone tell me which is better and give their reasons why without spoilers? Thanks There are 3 orders: Light Novel Release Order - Recommended. Monogatari is non-linear by design, but only the original creator should mess with chronology and not random production hell events for the 3 movies (like they did). That means: Bake -> 3 Movies -> Nise -> ... Anime Release Order - Not recommened. The movies went trough production hell and came out far later than scheduled. Neither Shaft not the Original creator wanted them in that order. This is simply messed up by events outside the story. There's also a minor hiccup regarding the placement of the monkey arc also created by Shaft's bad release management. This order means: Bake -> Nise -> Neko -> ... -> 3 Movies -> ... -> Owari Chronological Order - Not recommended to beginners. Monogatari is non-linear and watching it linearized can be fun. It however is a complex task and should not be attempted by first time viewers as it seriously hurts the experience intended by the creator. This means: 3 Movies -> Neko -> Bake -> Nise -.. if you have problem watching monogatari series just see this pict https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bakemonogatari1645/images/1/11/Monogatari_Series_Chronology_2019_version_%28Anime_Only%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20190715121855 |

| Chronological: Kizu>Neko>Bake>Nise Mayoi Jiangshi>Shinobu Time>Shinobu Mail>Tsubasa Tiger>Nadeko Medusa>Hitagi End>Tsuki>Ougi Formula>All of Sodachi>Koyomi>Owari 2nd>Zoku Hana is optional. ^^Not a newbie friendly watch order tbh. Recommended only if uve already finished the series. My preferred order: Bake>Kizu>Neko>Nise>Monogatari 2nd Season>Tsuki>Owari>Koyomi>Owari 2nd>Zoku Hana is optional. ^^I think its the best order to understand Shinobu's development as a character. Ez to miss dialogue & dialogue heavy. Read as much dialogue as you can. Screen flashes often come out of nowhere. Pause it if u miss it, unless if its just says a frame number. |

| There isn't any dispute bruh, this is intended to be seen right after Bakemonogatari. The monogatari series has a proper undisputed watch order, and that is the order the LN author intended. Like seriously, Kizu is meant to be seen after Bake. If you skip it, you won't understand anything and will just waste your own time. Follow the LN order and you will be perfectly fine. |
