Agreed. I lived there for a while and always want to go back. But I get the books from Amazon Japan.

Well for me shipping the book is just not satisfying.

Agreed, nothing better than picking it up from a bookstore in Japan but sadly I don't travel to Japan often enough. I'm too impatient. I pre order them all so I don't get spoiled on twitter.

I'm certainly not surprised. I haven't read the novels past the first series, but all the anime sequels beyond the second series were pretty disappointing. Regardless, I probably won't give up on the series until it's completely dead.

Ishin-san just can't let the money go and his stories fade away, hahah. That's a nice thing, after all.

Welp, guess I was wrong then. I totally thought he would end the series with the sixth book of off season, but I guess it really is gonna go forever :|

Musubimonogatari is one LN that i want to see adapted the most of this Off-season

Araragi Cop? How cool is that?

I'm glad Nishio still have awesome ideias for the series, keep them coming!

Owarimonogatari's second season was announced to be in production a while ago, but didn't receive its own article likely due to the lack of a premiere date. Once it's revealed, we'll include this as well. I reckon it won't be too far from now.

Yeah, not quite a proper greenlight announcement yet. Just wonder as Owari2 has to be it's own cour, earliest I figure it could be is summer as I think we'd know already if it was coming in spring. Zoku could be a 4 episode special, perhaps for New Year's Eve, they like to do that. Then maybe Off Season in 2018, 2 cour summer-fall perhaps? Then a wait for Monster Season.

I'd like to be as optimistic as you, but the releases of the adaptations probably won't be as fast. SHAFT has a movie this Fall and Fate/Extra Last Encore in Winter 2018, as well as the Zaregoto OVAs, which has already been delayed once.

But if nothing else, Owarimonogatari's second season should at least air this year.

According to Aniplex's president Atsuhiro Iwakami, Off Season's anime is already in progress. (Source: _syoan via Twitter)

Of course, Monster Season will also be animated, eventually.

Thank you. Knowing that Off Season is already being worked on makes me glee with joy.

Kodansha and Aniplex probably have more clout on the decision but I sure hope they decide to adapt it all, animated by Shaft of course. Looking at the yearly BD sales, Monogatari still sells well enough in my mind. I just hope the production committee agrees. I would love to see Off Season animated so I really hope it happens. Some great stories in there, really fun stuff although a few arcs will be challenging to animate.
