Zoku Owarimonogatari

Yet another mesmerizing storyline of the Monogatari series!

It was an amazing experience to watch this movie. The monogatari series is one of the best stories out there and not just in anime or light novels, but internationally. And what this movie managed to do is connect what happened in the previous seasons and show us the whole picture. Monogatari is not like most show in which you can sit down and relax while watching. You have to keep thinking and undersatand everything in order to follow the story.

A true finale to the series and an amazing movie as a whole, I don't think there's much more you can ask for.

This is the "afterword" and final ending of the Koyomi saga. The ending was fine, and it revealed an interesting take on the characters.

Complete Series Review:

In its entirety, Monogatari is a tightly written supernatural witty harem. While it excels in its artistic presentation, covering its own plot points, making things come full circle, making S-tier characters; it greatly lacks in engagement. Very frequently the dialogue was just unengaging and bland. This was most notable when we got large info dumps (from Gaen) and they tell us about events rather than show (ex: Shinobu's backstory pertaining to "darkness" was just an artistic slideshow). In an already dialogue-driven show, we should get to see these types of events animated rather than just talked about. This flaw made it tiresome to get through installments like Koyomimonogatari. Lastly, the fanservice can be ridiculous especially since this isn't an "ecchi", and the incest service is beyond stupid, but overall Monogatari was a well-written mixed bag. This is a niche anime and will be a hit or miss with most viewers.

This was certainly very hearttouching, and a delight for Monogatari fans, doesn't have the same level of emotional impact as Owarimonogatari, but it is certainly resounding and a pleasure to watch Araragi unravel another problem and meet his girls again under peculiar circumstances.

As always this is an extremely unique, beautifully animated and a very genius show. So much love for Koyomi Araragi.
