Monogatari a work that should be only for the gods of Olympus. A work that should not be in the human realm, a true universal gem. I always say that the only thing I regret about Monogatari is not having seen it before. As for Owarimono, it is by far the best arc or season along with Kizu, Ougi is simply a spectacular character and my favorite of Monogatari. But I repeat, this work is so good that it should not be in the human realm. I feel like we have something that belongs to the gods hahahahaha. Anyway, long life for all eternity to Godnogatari

Shaft's 2017 follow-up to the supernatural anime drama, Monogatari, season one, is a seven-episode series that comprises three story parts, namely "Mayoi Hell," "Hitagi Rendezvous," and "Ougi Dark." However, it is important to note that to enjoy this series fully, one must have a working knowledge of the entire Monogatari franchise and its characters.
Although the show has pretensions to be a cult classic and revels in its enigma, all criticisms of season one are still valid in this follow-up. The conversations are whimsical and sometimes wildly off-topic, delivered in the fashion of a stage play, and the dialogues are endless, mysterious, and frustrating for viewers wishing for the story to progress. The show's language and meaning are hard to interpret, making it difficult to track what…

If you are one of the three people that have been reading my Monogatari reviews you might have noticed that each one of them more or less reflected my impressions about them, thus Bakemono’s was a setup for what was coming next, Nisemono’s was very short and without much content, while Neko: Kuro and Second Season got a much more detailed one to explain everything I thought about them. Meanwhile Hana and Tsuki got one closer to the one of the second series, and I bashed Koyomi as it rightfully deserves.
So, in true Monogatari fashion, let me go back to something I wrote right at the beginning of my Kizumonogatari review:
“Ah, fucking finally, the one entry that chronologically starts it all, and it focuses a lot on Araragi and Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, who so far remaine…

It's my first 10/10 for the Monogatari series, and I've got to say--this season really deserves it. I'm not sure if it's the fact that everything comes to a head in this season or the fact that everything was so concise and neat, but I loved everything about the second season of Owarimonogatari. The easiest thing to talk about is the balance of this season, which was amazing--the story didn't lean too heavily on the dramatic because of the few episodes that occurred in the middle (no spoilers), and that, I feel, is a big improvement on a few of the earlier installments of the Monogatari series. Pacing is super important to me as a viewer, so I was happy to see that everything was balanced nicely this season.
Character development and relationship developments are the two things most peopl…

I'm not gonna cover the whole monogatari series or anything here, I just want to complain about how much I didn't like the ending somewhere. And the reasons why I didn't like the ending aren't even limited to owarimonogatari, but even issues throughout the whole show.
Ok so I think a lot of people come to this show for its unique form of direction and storytelling, which I quite enjoy, but holy fuck is it flawed. This show heard the "show don't tell" rule, and tried to ignore it as much as it possibly can. It's SO TIRESOME, even if the content is interesting. I don't wanna hear these characters talk about shit, I wanna see them DOING something, which does happen, but not anywhere near as much as it should. Like they'll talk for 2 or more episodes straight and use a fuck ton of words that…

After a few months of watching Monogatari, I finally came to the second season of Owarimonogatari. And what an experience it was. There was everything I loved about this series, complex story, great music and characters and extensive but interesting dialogues. The only problem for some people can be the pace at which first episodes go, so it might be a problem for some people, at least at the beginning I think.
But the second season of Owarimonogatari has one thing that it does exceptionally well is the conclusion. It is a beautiful conclusion to the overall series.
So in my opinion, it is a great conclusion to the series, great anime but a little bit too fast-paced for some people. But besides that, for me at least, it was just perfect, as the anime, and as the part of Monogatari series…

Owarimonogatari 2nd Season is one of those animes that have everything you will like.
Story: the story in this season is one of the best in all of monogatari series.
Art: the art is outstanding as ever and each scene have a lot of meaning as always and every scene have a lot of detail.
Sound: the sound is good as always every voice actor gives the feeling of what their character are thinking and feeling.
Character: in this season you will see a lot of character development for Araragi and Ougi and also it shows you the deep bond between Araragi and Hitagi and also his bond with Shinobu.
Enjoyment: 10/10 for me after all this monogatari series is the best of the best in anime industry and I 100% recommend you to watch this season and to read the light novels.

Look, if youv'e gotten this far in the series, you're not gonna be reading reviews to check if you should finish. This review is for people who are wondering if this is a series that will be worth investing in, or for those who just finished the first one or two series and are thinking "...is this worth it?"
This is a review of Monogatari. The great, sleazy, sprawling empire of Monogatari. With much love and in keeping with the style of the show itself, I'll make sure it's a disorganized disaster area.
It's been a while since I wrote a review, but MONOGATARI IS OVER and the sentimental poeticism of that fact spurred me to fill out these heinous numerical scores once more. Of course, Monogatari isn't really over. We'll no doubt soon be facing down Owariszokumudamonogatari or whatever 354,…

Have it ever happened to you that everyone seems to like, I don't know, something to eat, and then you try it but it tastes horrible but you kept wondering "why does people like it?", and then you try it again in a different moment and context and suddenly it is exquisite? Well, this pretty much happened to my with the Monogatari series. Yes, I am going to write here more about the franchise that about this particular season.
I am not going to talk about many of the virtues and the flaws that have been stated in the apparently irreconcilable fight between those that love this anime and those that hate it. I just wanna say, to those that want to enjoy a show and understand it's relevance in the anime community but seem kinda lost in the debate between fanboys and haters, that this show is…

It has been 5 years since I watched gigguk's review on bake/nisemonogatari which ultimately got me into the monogatari series. I liked this series a lot when I first watched it as a newcomer to anime. Now, after rewatching the entire series, I have come to love it. These 3 final arcs are truly the end to the end, the "owari" to the "owari" to a beautifully written "monogatari".
I am proud to say that all mysteries are uncovered, no holes are left unfilled and they wrap up the franchise perfectly with a little bow. It gives that uplifting feeling that everything is over, all the struggles and conflicts the watcher (myself) faced with Araragi and co in his final year of high school is all over. Yet, I feel like I will miss the feeling, the moments, and memories because not all was bad in A…

-------------------- Owarimonogatari Second Season --------------------
Well, it has beeen 2 years since the last monogatari series, and boy! let me tell you that the wait was worth it! absolutely worth it. First I have to say that the Monogatari Series is my favorite anime of all time, and this season proved why.
[ART & ANIMATION]
Shaft did a pretty good job with the art style and animation, it doesnt have a lot of details but it fits great with the anime. It is also consistent with the other series and it has an interesting way of desing, that has been seen since the first season aired. The desing of the background that is simple and also using no background characters was a thing I only saw with shaft and their works. Something that I really like is the way that by giving background…

Amazing.
They did it.
Nisio and Shaft managed to give a proper ending to a series in which one misstep could bring forth its doom.
As I wasn't particularly a fan of Tsuki (in this case, just some aspects of it, as I enjoyed it overall) Koyomi and the first part of Owarimonogatari, I was genuinely mindful that this could end as a screw up, even if I had all my hopes up for it.
The recurring problem with the Monogatari series, in my view, comes precisely from its
strength. The obvious enemy of a good series that focuses on delivering its story by a lot of dialogue is the lack of something worthwhile to say. Many times, it relied way too much on repetitive overexpository dialogue of things the viewer had already understood like they were retarded or something, way too much uninteresting…

(Before reading the review, or planning on watching this anime. Please do realize that this arc marked the end of the journey of Araragi's confrontations of the supernatural, amidst his occupation as a high schooler, before being graduated from being a high schooler to a college student. That being said, it's unwise and rather illogical to not watch this at the very end of the timeline, which can be discerned here (http://imgur.com/UjlhSyS). But that being said, you must watch all aired series of monogatari, excluding hanamonogatari ofc, since it's entirely irrelevant to the main story or the main attention of the plot of Koyomi, the MC. Though, be sure to watch koyomimonogatari ep 12 last before heading toward the second season of Owarimonogatari)

This review does not contain spoilers. This review is not made by a blind fanatic or a hater who has nothing better to do, this review is made by a person who saw this series for more than 8 years of his life.
I'll be honest and I'll go straight to the point. I will not speak with fanaticism in my words, I will write just the truth about these episodes, my truth, nothing more and nothing less. I have no sweet words to these episodes, so if you can't digest a different opinion than yours I ask you to not continue reading my review.
I want to clarify this before I start, I'm a fan of this series since the day it was released in 2009 and the second season is in my top ten favorite anime of all the time, so you wonde…

The second season of Owarimonogatari was the perfect way to end the main story line of the series. Comprising of three arcs, the first two serve as mostly set up material for the last arc to have a lasting impact on the audience.
The art and animation is in the signature style you would come to expect from Studio Shaft. The use of the soundtrack is sparse or just serves as a backdrop to the show, except for a few moments where it's use in conjunction with an important scene. Out of all the seasons/movies of the Monogatari series, I enjoyed this particular one the most. Hopefully you will have a similar experience as well.

Owarimonogatari 2nd Season was perfectly created, I hardly can point out problems with this season and adaption. Nearly every scenes creates a tense atmosphere making the viewers iterate their thoughts what will the characters do, what Araragi will do. Apart from assaulting Hachijuki.
Story:
I personally thought the story was well made, it has mix of emotions teach parts of the story which constantly manages to keep the viewers interested. The further you go through the episodes, more the excitement grows. We all want to know who Ougi is, we all want to see what Araragi wants or does. That's why the story is perfection.
Art:
I can't really say much about the art, through out the Monogatari Series all the arts and designs are interesting and well created. The scenes are hilarious and mad…

[9.0/10]
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Owarimonogatari was ultimately the end of the first, and most likely the main story of the series. These last three arcs provided a good conclusion and I wouldn't be upset if that's the final Monogatari-related product adapted by SHAFT. Although I doubt it, since there are tens of side-stories, epilogues, prologues and everything in-between left to adapt. This, however, felt like a proper conclusion. Even if it wasn't what I wanted, I can't help but feel happy about the ending regardless.
Monogatari, ever since I began watching it, always left me with an air of ambivalence. If you go venture forth to the past and dig through to find one of my earliest reviews on this website, o…

***This is a spoiler free review***
While I am filled with the most absolute joy towards this series than any other long-running series that I am currently aware of, there is also a feeling of melancholy as I watch this beautifully crafted mini-series end what has been such an amazing journey. The highs and the lows of the Monogatari series are coming to a conclusion (for now?)...and it is glorious.
Story: 9/10
While it might not be fair to hold what I am about to say against Owarimonogatari second season, it is an absolute fact; the mini-series just needs to bring lose ends to an end. Yes regardless of how Owarimonogatari second season ends it is not the final piece of Monogatari content (see the Hanamonogatari anime adaptation and any other possible volumes that haven't been adapted)…

Before the review this is my personal opinion: I am so glad that this series didn’t disappoint me at all and I had such a great time watching it . Monogatari will always be one of the best anime I saw and I genuinely love it with all my heart starting with the great characters and ending with the lessons told from each series.
This is the final puzzle piece from the Monogatari series. In this series every little detail from the other series that were left unexplained was revealed to its audience. Another worth praising writing style from the author who knows damn well how to leave intentionally plot holes who are gonna be filled later in his future works. This is why the flaws are what makes Monogatari a great piece from the storytelling medium.
Once again Shaft managed to use the visua…

Owarimonogatari season 2 is the conclusion, final chapter, to the main storyline presented since Bakemonogatari in 2009. And to say that it was a long time coming would be an understatement. It has been nearly a decade since I fell in love with this anime. While it has had its ups and downs it never became intolerable. For anyone who kept watching this series for this long or joined the train, enjoy the finale.
Mayoi Hell and Hitagi Rendevous are arcs with essential information that is needed to be build up before reaching the final boss. The final boss known as Ougi has been foreshadowed for some time now. Who is she? Where did she come from? We will have the answers to all our questions in this arc. All the pieces that have been lingering will finally connect.
