Monogatari Series Rewatch (Novel Order) – Interest Thread


Monogatari Series Rewatch (Novel Order) – Interest Thread

Hello! It is has been almost 6 years since the last Monogatari Rewatch, and with the upcoming release of the Karen Ogre story arc in Winter 2026 I thought it would be fun to host one! So hereby a thread to look for interest. If there is enough interest I will host it!

I would maybe need a co-host for this (I will also be on holiday in fall), so if you are interested, let me know!

Oh, and we would be following novel release order. After following this guide, we will watch Off&Monster season. This is not debatable, novel order is the correct order 😉

  • First season: 30 episodes & 3 movies
  • Second season: 28 episodes
  • Final season: 30 episodes & 12 half episodes
  • Off&Monster season: 14 episodes

What is this anime about?

Pulled from MAL

Koyomi Araragi, a third-year high school student, manages to survive a vampire attack with the help of Meme Oshino, a strange man residing in an abandoned building. Though being saved from vampirism and now a human again, several side effects such as superhuman healing abilities and enhanced vision still remain. Regardless, Araragi tries to live the life of a normal student, with the help of his friend and the class president, Tsubasa Hanekawa.

When fellow classmate Hitagi Senjougahara falls down the stairs and is caught by Araragi, the boy realizes that the girl is unnaturally weightless. Despite Senjougahara's protests, Araragi insists he help her, deciding to enlist the aid of Oshino, the very man who had once helped him with his own predicament.

Through several tales involving demons and gods, Bakemonogatari follows Araragi as he attempts to help those who suffer from supernatural maladies.

Why should you watch it?

The Monogatari Series is one of those rare anime franchises that feels completely different. It is generally considered as one of the all time great masterpieces, and a story you can not recommend to anyone. But I will make an attempt to do so!

Starting with Bakemonogatari, the story constantly becomes more complex, the characters more interesting and everything becomes more intertwined. The nonlinear storytelling is really built around themes. Discovering connections between different arcs, character perspectives, and seemingly unrelated events is one of the greatest joys the series has to offer.

The biggest draw of the series is its cast. Araragi is an all time-great protagonist (Winner of r/anime best guy 2), but the diverse cast of girls might be even better. It is impossible to really determine the best character, as everyone has a different appeal to one of them, but there are so many that are iconic, such as r/anime Best Character 2&3 winners Hitagi Senjougahara and Shinobu Oshino. Every arc focuses on different characters, allowing them to grow in ways that feel meaningful and memorable. Even after dozens of episodes and movies, Shaft and Nisio Isin somehow keep finding new layers to people you thought you already understood.

Beyond the characters, the dialogue is simply unmatched. Conversations that should take thirty seconds can stretch into entire scenes filled with clever wordplay, philosophical discussions, absurd comedy, and emotional revelations. The oddities the series is built around, reflect personal struggles. The series trusts its audience and encourages them to figure this out, together with the true meaning and subtleties of the conversations. Visually, Monogatari might be studio Shaft's masterpiece. The iconic head tilts, the distinctive direction, flashing imagery and beautiful animation really gives Monogatari a different style which few anime managed to copy. Monogatari is one of these series which regularly gets referenced in other anime. If you have not watched it, you might recognize something from different anime. I always like this example from Kaguya-sama for example.

No series is every perfect, and Monogatari definitely has some quirks. Besides that, it has become pretty much so for what it tries to do. It is one of my favorite anime experiences because it feels like every entry adds something valuable to the larger whole. Few series have left as strong an impression on me. Once I got into it, I never really left.

On a final note, the music in the series is phenomenal. The OP changes every few episodes, and is sung by the central heroine of the arc. We all know Best OP 7 winner Renai Circulation for example. But did you know this is not even the best OP in the show? Bakemonogatari has arguably the best ED of all time as well with Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari as voted by our subreddit. Pretty much one of my favorite song of all time, period!

I hope this is enough to convince you to join me for this rewatch!

Streaming info:

Some seasons are available to stream on Crunchyroll, but licensing is very fragmented.

If you know of additional ways to watch it, don't hesitate to let me know.

Rewatch Schedule

My plan is to finish approximately in early December, as the new episode, Karen Ogre, is scheduled to drop in Winter 2026. I hope to try to finish the rewatch before that.

I am still undecided on the actual schedule, I'd like to propose to watch 2-3 episodes a day. I am also fine with watching one episode a day, please let me know if you have strong opinions

We would definitely watch multiple Koyomimogatari episodes per day, and watch the original 3 movies of Kizumonogatari, not the compilation movie.

Please let me know if there is any interest, and when you would prefer starting yourself.

This is also my first full rewatch of the series, so I am hoping to do this together with other Monogatari fans, and people who are looking to get into the series. It's a series that is firmly in my top, and I really want to share my passion for this story with people!
