| sad to see our main end finally reach its climax but its been a great long ride dat feeling when you realize why the wife never showed up truly bless to have gotten adult Hachikuji! |
 |
| If this is “the end” for Monogatari it was a hell of a ride. 10 years of captivating stories filled with some of the most intriguing anime characters I’ve ever seen, and YES plenty of DELICIOUS ecchi goodness! I personally LOVED this movie and I give it a 10/10. |
| Fantastic but also depressing, on multiple levels. I was a bit disappointed by this overall (still gave it a 9/10) because it seems like there were some pretty large missed opportunities. Knowing Nisioisin, these could be gaps being left on purpose for later, but in this case I doubt it. I did like how it filled in the gap between Owarimonogatari and Hanamonogatari, however. It did so rather fully, and I was in no way disappointed by that part. It does show there will definitely be more to that story. We haven't seen the last of the Rainy Devil. Zoku also clearly demonstrated this really isn't the end. People make a lot of assumptions because of Nisioisin's cryptic wording, but it showed Araragi moving on to the next story at the end. In other words, the next seasons will be interrelated in the same way that the first through third were. We already have Off Season and Monster Season out with the novels, which means more than likely there will be one more season interrelating with these two seasons. When you really think about it, at the end of the day, Araragi is an immortal monster. His story isn't actually over until he is destroyed (and really even that has happened to him already and he has come back from it). |

| Really liked this episode. Also damn, Araragi was smooth with that line about not regretting anything with Senjougahara. |
 |
| A good closure. Thanks for the memories Monogatari. And so good we get to see best girl Hitagi again. |
| So in the end it was about what Oikura said after tall, the 20% that got lost? Didn't expect that. Overall typical Monogatari. Biggest complaint from me is, that the best girls weren't really given a big part in this. Kanbaru was only present as rainy devil, Karen had a few seconds of screentime, Hitagi only appeared in the end and Shinobu only in one episode for a few minutes as well. |
wakawakalypse said: I may have to watch it again, but what was Koyomi's regret regarding Tsukihi? I don't think we ever got an answer, at the end, after we finally know everything, why Tsukihi is in the mirror world unchanged. As explained by Araragi himself at the end, those that changed were the ones to whom he felt he could've done better, while he probably had no regret regarding her case, and thus she remains unchanged. |

| This really does feel like the end of the series, the end of Araragi's story and in my opinion this would've been a great way to end off this monster series. The colour and lighting coupled with that amazing shaft animation at the end was just honestly so beautiful, seeing all the title cards quickly flash in flooded my head with the memories from all of his adventures and I couldn't stop myself from crying. Such an amazing addition to the series 9/10. |

| After the last episode, which I think lasted way too long, I can only thank Zoku Owari for showing me Kanbaru's mom naked for a great amount of time. The whole explanation/analysis/theories that Ougi and Araragi talked about kinda made me sleep, so I had to rewatch them a lot of times. Didn't help that I watched the episode at 5AM. I didn't really like the final explanation, I actually thought it was another world instead of just the same world created by Araragi's regret. I am glad Senjougahara still wins at the end instead of Hanekawa. What I didn't understand is why did Shinbou appear as a human... what does that have to do with Araragi regrets? Like I said, wasn't as enjoyable as the past monogataris, but the fanservice was still great. 7/10 |

| I liked Owari s2 finale better than this finale It felt more like an extra/ova to me Good blend of aesthetic, psychology and metaphysics like always. 9/10 |
| Had no idea what was going on half the time and perhaps it was a bit bittersweet, still really liked it however. Not sure how that works. Really hard to follow, but properly nostalgic. I guess he'll miss his awesome perfect high school life. |
| well that was f-ing pretentious and pointless. monogatari is going downhill with each and every adaptation. i'd have been more forgiving if araragi was a repressed crossdresser all along. but with this half-assed ending, i can't even be bothered to properly meh. 1/10 |
 |
| While I agree with many people that Owarimonogatari S2's ending was satisfying and conclusive, this was still extremely enjoyable watch and is still a good ending to the main Monogatari story. Deeply disappointed that we didn't get to see Mirror Senjougahara, though. NISIOISIN made a huge mistake leaving out best girl. We should have gotten to see Shinobu's face too. Zoku Owarimonogatari had an excellent story, as it seems to be standard of the Monogatari series. With fantastic subversions of what I had to come to expect from the characters of the franchise, Zoku Owarimonogatari proved to be a highly entertaining film and is a fitting conclusion to Araragi's story. off season when |
| So basicaly, the characters regrets, mostly Araragi's and how to learn to move on. Remeber kids, learn to move on, or you'll be plunged into a mirror dimension, or have a mirror dimension plunged into you. Lots of fanservice and cute moments with the characters here, although Sodachi turned inferior in this one.... Ah damn it. Anyway, it was a a really good film, I enjoyed most of it. After all, anything with Mayoi-oneesan in it can't be that bad. Plus points to Senjougahara in the end, twintails and being cute in general, great waifu material. 9/10 |

| It was a good run and I will miss Monogatari series. It was one of those anime series that makes me love the physiological and mystery genra. To be honest I want more Monogatari it can't be end like this. |
| Hitagi tme xD, followed this story is very hard |
| Really loved the parts with Hachikuji Onee-san, Ononoki and Sodachi. Sodachi is definitely the most underrated heroine of the monogatari universe. While I really enjoyed the first two third, it really tested my patience in the final third but the last conversation with Ougi-chan and the final part with Senjougahara paid off the experience. It's never always the best girl but the chosen girl - that is Senjougahara for Araragi. That he never had any regrets about her made me really happy for both of them. They are indeed the most perfect for each other. My 20% regret is this has finally come to an end. 9/10 with 20% regrets. |

| I'd have to say this was one of the most boring movies I've seen in a while. |
| It has been a few years since I last watched anything from the Monogatari series and Zoku Owarimonogatari reminded me why I dropped it, the series became too boring and characters like Oshino Ougi and Gaen Izuko are an empty attempt to make the show seems more complex than it is, the worst part is that there are fans so blinds to this that they still think Monogatari holds their standard throughout the seasons, probably thinking "if you don't get it you are not smart enough". |
| Loved the ending. And if this is the end of the series it's fitting- but I kinda don't want to be the end. |
| "My name is John Locke, and I'm responsible for the well being of this Island" |
| I watched this as a whole 2.5 hour movie, I thought it was brilliant once again, typical Monogatari. I'm glad Ononoki got lots of screen time. The complaints really are just subjective things, too boring, cash grab, etc. Very enjoyable, 9/10, close to a 10/10. |
| I'm satisfied with the endings. I hope SHAFT plan to adapt all of the Off-Season and Monster Season. |
| This sure was quite something, different yet also just like normal for this series! Quite enjoyed seeing a whole lot of the characters in different personalities and even appearances in this 6 episodic rather movie like series. Pretty interesting last episode and in general series to this franchise as a whole! |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Fucking amazing, and after finally catching up on the monogatari series I am officially depressed and waiting for more |

| What a wonderful ending Senjougahara really is one of the best waifu out there seeing the neck till on the very last scene was amazing although this was just a sequel but it was good. |

| Damn can't believe Araragi's tale ended like that...until they adapt monster season maybe? Overall I enjoyed zoku it was a pretty interesting take on a person's "other side of yourself" idea and Araragi getting sent somewhere otherworldly to him, not knowing what exactly caused it but slowly piecing it together was dope. The ending with Senjougahara was sweet, glad our boy Araragi in the adult world now with her and the other people around him going into the unknown. Loved the series overall, I'm glad I waited and saved this series for later once I got more into anime.I really enjoyed the art style and the shot composition/angles used where always interesting. Also the title cards where dope as well as the noise cues. it was definitely something I haven't been able to categorize similar to other anime shows or shows in general. The best word i'd use would have to be just a "simple" story but in a sentence... probably, A story about a High school boy that turns into a whimsical/new-age classic character study in a sense about numerous people connected to Koyomi Araragi and an otherwordly being named Shinobu Oshino. 10/10 in my humble opinion this in my top 3 favorites of all time next to NGE really enjoyed it$$$$ hopeful monster season gets adapted somewhere in the near future :)))) |
 F,P |
| And that's how it ends, I guess. The reason turned out to be Araragi's regrets, of what he didn't do and what he lost after graduaing. As a person who graduated from high school this year, I can somewhat relate to that, Though pulling 20% of unreflected light from the mirror to create a "layer" of fake reality to get rid of these regrets of mine would be overgoing it. The series overall has also ended. The main storyline at least. In general, I enjoyed it, really. Each time you finish one of these major multi-work series you feel lost and full of regrets. Though well... that's how it always is. The process, for me at least, is much more important than the result. However, just like Araragi said for himself... I need to keep moving on... |

| Well this is one of the few times I’ve felt extremely happy with an ending, Senjougahara’s new look was nice. Until next time Monogatari. |
 |
| I started watching this series on Aug 4th of this year, and after a ton of procrastination, I finally done the Monogatari series (for now at least). And I can say, that this probably my favorite series to date. I actually love everything about it: the ost, the art, the characters, the story. Everything. Shaft did an amazing job on this series and I'm looking forwards to the continuation of this series (hopefully). Hitagi's hair and outfit in this episode look fantastic. I also really like how they closed it off with Hitagi's head tilt. |
 |
| This was a great send-off to the series. I was a bit concerned at first about how well this would work as an epilogue when Owari S2 ended so well, but it seems my concerns were unfounded. My only regret is that Oikura’s actual experience couldn’t be the same as this world. Monogatari was definitely a nice story. I’ll be sure to remember it. |
| Amazing last episode! ost, emotions and dialogues were all fantastic! And what a twist! I felt bad at first when I started this season, but after watching this episode I want to say that it was a great season! This episode is one of the best episodes I have ever seen! I was hesitant to continue watching this series when I started watching it a month ago! But now I am happy to finish watching this unique anime! What an anime! I hope monogatari continues because I want more!:) 9/10 for this season 10/10 easy for monogatari series(and it became my third favorite anime!) |

| I wasn't sure what to expect going into this little "extra story." But, it really became quite something special with each passing episode. It feels like a pretty satisfying end to everything. Though, I can't say I don't want more. As always, after having seen something from the Monogatari Series, I feel as though I'm going to one day need to watch them all back-to-back chronologically. If this was truly the end, then it might be time to start thinking about doing that. |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Zoku Owari was a nice epilogue-esque story. Hopefully theres more monogatari I could watch this series all my life, its one of a kind. Took me a long time to finish but it was worth it. It only gets better and better. |
