Monogatari Series: Second Season

This season is made up of five separate stories; Nekomonogatari (White), Kabukimonogatari, Otorimonogatari, Onimonogatari and Koimonogatari. These are marketed as separate series on DVD... as I discovered when the second story seemed rather familiar. The individual stories should please fans of previous seasons; solid stories which feature familiar characters, each with supernatural elements. The animation is impressive as is the dialogue; as before the series in very dialogue heavy; don't let this put you off though as the stories are a lot of fun. I'd advise watching previous seasons first, certainly Bakemonogatari, but suspect it can still be enjoyed without previous exposure as there are also some useful recap episodes. Overall a great addition to the franchise.
