With the movie for Zoku Owarimonogatari has been seen, being the last Monogatari show of many but … just what is the order of them all again?.
The Monogatari series at it’s core it’s a collection of short stories that build up the world around it. But trying to understand where to start, I mean, for starters the show never has a title called plain Monogatari till we get Monogatri second season, which is the forth season in! The Release order is normally what people had said is the best way to watch it other then Kizumonogatari. This is as follows:
The Releases Order
Bakemonogatari
Nisemonogatari
Nekomongatari: Kuro
Monogatari Series: Second Season
Hanamonogatari
Tsukimonogatari
Owarimonogatari
Koyomimonogatari
Kizumonogatari
Owarimonogatari: Second Season
Zoku Owarimonogatari
Kizumonogatari is a Movie that was intended and the author’s recommended spot to watch is after Bakemonogatari and before Nisemongatari.
Watching in Chronological sounds like a great idea, till you understand that they skip a bit of world building in doing so. While Kizumonogatari is the first thing to happen in the show They expect you to already have some understanding of the cast, skipping some basic introductions and leaving new comers lost. Rewatching it that way though would likely be a fun way to go about it. The Monogatari Series: Second Season is a collection of short stories that scatter about the time line though. Even jamming some of it in between Owarimonogatari stories. Here is the order of that!
