Owarimonogatari has 3 volumes so it should be at least 1-cour. But there's also Koyomimonogatari and Zoku Owarimonogatari, so they might make 2-cours covering all remaining 5 volumes.

Is that supposed to be a Tokyo Ghoul parody? In any case good lord this industry and how it comes up with ideas for original anime and chooses to make use of staff "talents", it's only getting worse it feels to the point where it's so hard not to take it all as a complete joke these days. I don't think there's any sort of new standard being set here, it's just par for the course for how the industry goes about designing TV original shows nowadays and what it's priorities are, namely the continued rise of the importance of the character designer brand recognition and making use of eroge industry people.

At the very least I can say throwing a bunch of popular erotic character designers together for an original anime project doesn't strike is as quite a horrible idea as throwing a bunch of popular erotic game writers into a project but still what is the industries obsession with getting people from that scene to do this shit of late and really just seeming to embrace these full on erotic ideas for original anime with no sign of any other sort of plan for the shows. I guess this is what the industry wants to be known for nowadays in terms of things that aren't adapted from some other source. Like I don't know, I just continue to get the vibe that they've got absolutely nothing beyond eroticism anymore. It used to be called fanservice because it was occasional "service" to the fans, not because it was the backbone of the show itself.

Great news that it's going to release this year. Anyway, I have no idea what you people are arguing about and I don't even care, you guys are too serious about anime, but can someone just make a rough estimation of how many episodes this arc can get?

Moodie said 12-24 and he's probably the most knowledgeable Shaft fan on this forum, so take that as you wish

Honestly, if you're focusing on originality and story alone, Monogatari is one of the best supernatural 'harem'-esque shows out there. It's not fair to reduce it to some bottom-of-the-barrel ecchi anime, so I'm not sure what your problem is with all of this. I'm not the biggest fan of the series, either, but my problems are mostly with its visual side and presentation, not so much its content. Sure, you could say it containing themes of incest and pedophilia is stupid, but it's not supposed to be anything smart—that kind of stuff is just there for the pleasure it brings the audience.

Then again, I don't know what your blabber about character designers and the state of the industry is for; it seems completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Monogatari is a light novel series getting adapted by a studio that has always stayed loyal to it. That's all there is to it.

I always feel like I'm the only one, but then I see posts like this. Thing is I did give it an honest try but I really just did not like it for various reasons. It sometimes makes conversations awkward when people talk about it to me expecting me to like it and have a frame of reference like seemingly every other anime fan and then I have to say "actually...errr...." pretty much. Oh well, I'd say good for the fans too, but I'm not exactly on good terms with them so I'll just say it looks like they're trying to finish it up now and not have an Inuyasha kind of situation.

Incidentally is their such a thing as hype which I know is an important state to a lot of people not being real with MAL? Like I never got that statement and what exactly it's supposed to be implying. Like as opposed to the hype being fake? Has anyone ever said anything like that ever?

Better watch Tsukimonogatari and Hanamonogatari before this airs then, as I still haven't watched them.

Moodie said:
u can skip hana since it basically takes place near the very end

tsuki is an amazing watch tho, not taking anything away from hana but it felt more as a conclusion rather than an arc

CG-Silver said:

Don't you mean Tsukimonogatari and isn't it already out?

Vindstot said:

I think he meant Tsugimonogatari as in the sequel of Monogatari Series: Final Season (Novel). Well, it'll be a long while before we hear any further news about it.

CG-Silver said:

Wow I never saw this one. Thanks for the info and btw who's on the cover.

I believe that's Oikura Sodachi, she's a new character introduced in Owarimonogatari.
