Monogatari Series: First Season
| Previously, I pondered how rewatchable the monogatari series was, and even made a forum post about my thoughts on this short movie. However, I must apologise and say I might be wrong, I'm currently rewatching Bakemonogatari and I love it, even on the rewatch it's so incredibly enjoyable and I'm looking forward to rewatching Kizumonogatari movies too. What are your thoughts? Is the monogatari series rewatchable for you all? |
Bored_Resort said: I'm struggling to get through the next season (of where I am) because I do not want to be done with the show lol. It is so good and is built upon such a solid foundation I cannot bare the effect of finishing it until another part is announced. You should finish it. I was the same when I finished Owari Ge, and I enjoyed Zoku Owari after almost a month later. I'm now planning on reading the LNs, which also helps to remember details and has way more dialogue (already read Kabuki, Owari, Koyomi and Tsuki, in that order, and Koyomi was truly perfect, compared to its anime version). You should try it out after you finish ^^ |

| Still the same reception. They stretched 180 pages into 3 installments for some quick bucks, and the former two only serves the outcome in the latter. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |

Perfectrockstar said: How can you "dissect" the wordplay when it's in Japanese to begin with, or are we talking about two different things?I’m rewatching the whole show atm and am on final season, honestly on my next rewatch I might go no subtitles just to take in and appreciate the animation/VA rather than attempting to dissect the immense amount of wordplay thrown at you since the dialogue usually takes up a large amount of one’s attention |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
Perfectrockstar said: Yeah, I just assumed that was the case with the titles. However, I'm still skeptical of what a non-Japanese speaker can realistically pick up here.LostSpectre said: How can you "dissect" the wordplay when it's in Japanese to begin with, or are we talking about two different things? Essentially half of it can be fairly translated to English and be comprehensible but the other half you need to understand the Japanese language to understand, so the more you know the more you’ll be able to catch/comprehend. One of the most basic ones is when a character calls araragi oni oniichan which means devil big brother and calls him that because of his vampiric powers, but there’s a ridiculous amount written by nisioisin and is really fun to catch the ones you can. In fact the title of each arc in and of itself is wordplay, bakemono means monster and monogatari is to tell a story or an epic so he combined the mono to create bakemonogatari ie monster story. |

| Anything written by Nisio Isin requires deep introspection to understand because it's only aimed towards HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS and REAL ANIME FANS |
| If you want to reply to my posts, come up with valid arguments instead of ad hominem HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS ONLY |
Perfectrockstar said: Yeah, I don't think I have any interest if it isn't surface level enough to spot, I have better avenues to delve into for wordplay, but alright. LostSpectre said: Yeah, I just assumed that was the case with the titles. However, I'm still skeptical of what a non-Japanese speaker can realistically pick up here. You can definitely pick some up, although obviously there will be a lot that will go over the head but at the same time a majority of the word play is in the light novels regardless. In the anime a lot of the word play you can kinda figure out with prior knowledge and cues from the visuals, dialogue, etc. but all in all it really rewards you for studying up on eastern knowledge in general with a joke that you may not have gotten before, for example I had no idea what a sororate was before episode 3 of bake and then I did some research and now I use the same joke irl. It’s quite rewarding the more you pay attention and care. |

| It wasn't watchable the first time for me. |
