Zoku Owarimonogatari

Although I enjoyed this quite a bit, and found the start to finish references to the whole series very well done, I did enjoy the Second half of the "Owarimonogatari" Arc a bit more.

"Owarimonogatari" had more emotional gravity to the closing episodes, and the sudden revelation and growth it had hit a deeper note. Maybe had I given myself some time between the "Official end" and this afterwards it would have resonated more, but regardless it's worth watching and adds to the characters.

My only regret is that this appears to be the end of one of the most exceptional anime's I've ever watched.

Yet another mesmerizing storyline of the Monogatari series!

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.

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.

I love oikura sodachi She is best girl. I loved her character the moment she got introduced. The mirror sodachi is also a personality that I love. Must watch

The op song is also pretty good
