Seems like on the official NISIOISIN account over on X the next story has been confirmed to be "Cruel Fairy Tale: Princess Fair" and not too long ago posted a statement saying:
"Off & Monster Season
━━━━━━━

Cruel Fairy Tale: Beautiful Princess
A true story that happened a long time ago, about six hundred years ago.
I was in a country that no longer exists,
A story about a very, very beautiful girl."

https://x.com/nisioisin_anime/status/1824023229226180885?s=46&t=t9Tcn6gxEb9BtMuPAZMRtw

Not only was that announced but supposedly the episode is slated for 15 minutes, probably to serve as a prologue to the next arc "Acerola Bon Appétit":

Overall excited for another Shinobu arc!

We just keep losing in terms of stuff adapted😭

This means the banners on the website are indeed talking about this cour. We'll be skipping Karen Ogre and Tsubasa Sleeping and jumping to Shinobumonogatari after this, I guess. (Maybe not Tsubasa Sleeping cause it's important to Musubi?)

If they don't add the remaining arcs in the Blu-Rays then there is no hope anymore. Sodachi Fiasco and Suruga Bonehead I'm sad, but will accept. Losing Karen Ogre and Tsubasa Sleeping would be a war crime.

Also ig 15 minute slot for the Princess Beauty short story, episode 8-9 for Acerola Bon Appetit, and 10-14 for Shinobumonogatari?

@RandomPerson9348 I thought Musubimonogatari would be a separate season all on its own if I remember right context wise. And it does look like this seaosn will end with shinobumonogatari at this point. Really sad the other arcs aren't getting adapted in this season.

I do think Musubi to end the entire thing would be perfect. The final scene of Tsuzura Human is a beauty. Although I haven't gotten past Yoimonogatari yet, so idk how much it affects how Monster Season is perceived.

Really torn up about the skipped arcs though. I can't find a good reason for them to skip those. It's not like they've lost love for the series. Nadeko Draw is the hardest they've gone on adapting an arc - everything about it was legendary. Sad we might not see their vision of Karen Ogre or Tsubasa Sleeping (so many amazing, unexpected interactions lost).

@RandomPerson9348 I wouldn't say that those interaction are gone forever, maybe they're adapting both off season and monster season in the sense that some off season arcs and some monster season arcs in a season. Personally I'm not all for this however I believe Shaft have a vision that I'm willing to see through to the end because as you've said Nadeko draw was probably the most stunning visual wise that the show has been for a while, so maybe they know there doing (Is what I'm using to lie to myself with).

"Shaft is going under internal reconstruction after 2019, so Off-Season will take time to get animated until they get themselves together again" worked after 5 years, so we keep praying

@RandomPerson9348 for real!! All we fans can do is just sit down and sit through to the end and hope our copium don't run out before we see the end of this endeavor.

@Dellio_man I'm with you on that but I personally don't really like how this being tackled, well not a 100% cause when you think of monster season its a season that will generally deal with the apparition type character types, so characters like shinobu would have gotten a lot of screen time. Her being my favorite character it would have been nice if they went the same route as second season and just adapted all of monster season in one go, off season on its being being the current season and Musubimonogatari like what they did for Hanamonogatari and adapt it after monster season.

So your saying you would've gathered them go well not in order or chronologically through the other girls (Karen and Tsubasa) and then shinobu basically? or more so saying have shinobu already appear more within this season?

@Dellio_man I'm fine with the non-chronological order off season is going with but I'm fine with it being just off season. As for shinobu she already has an arc here and 2 long arcs in monster season so I don't really see why they would want to do Shinobumonogatari now while there still arcs left to be adapted in off season

Hmm. Guess we'll see. Because Acerola Bon Appetit definitely needs two episodes for a good adaptation, but Shinobumonogatari would feel a bit stretched with six.

I trust in Shaft enough to let them do what they want though.

Now that would be interesting because hopefully though I'm still not for it, if "Acerola Bon Appétit" is from episode 7-8 and Shinobumonogatari 9-13 they could adapt another arc from off season with it being only one episode long.

On the website it says EX and not episode 7.

Now it depends if this counts in the overall episode count or is separate.

I know it's probably obvious, but this definitely sounds like Shinobu's origins/past story.
