>first series is the peak
>sequels are worse
So many cases
First series is the peak
Xavier Baker
Anthony Martin
Look up regression to the mean.
Aaron Moore
Pic unrelated.
Cameron Richardson
katanamonogatari is the best
Levi Taylor
The final season was the best though, or couldn't you get that far?
Isaiah Walker
It peaked with Second Series though. Or Kizu.
Gavin Lopez
bake just had a more edgy tone
plenty of the parts that came after easily surpass it
Nathaniel Martinez
Truly Koyomimonogatari was the peak of the series.
Mason Jenkins
What a pleb opinion, take your shitty (you) faggot OP and fuck off
Mason Allen
monogatari is the most consistent series there is. it peaked with second series and ascended with final season. nise, neko and kizu are also extremely underrated.
Gavin Sanchez
based
agreed
Joshua Sanchez
True. Second Season was significantly weaker, and everything after that (chronologically) was getting even worse. Monogatari was at it's peak when it didn't descend into serious plots, darker tones and drama.
Julian Price
>Crab is the best pleb filter
Objective fact.
Plebs like OP just can't keep up with the pseudo intellectual dialogue and gets sick of it at the end of first installment hence dropping it, This is a common occurrence when watching series like these.
Matthew Green
Some of its mysteries should have been kept hidden, yeah.
Jonathan Ramirez
>To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Monogatari
Samuel Cook
Iye,
To be fair you need to have high reading comprehension and vocabulary to enjoy the series to the fullest. Googling a word everytime keeps you from enjoying it. Yeah so that's what im implying user san. or maybe you just aren't into heavy dialogue series unlike me
Henry Moore
Yes.
Ayden Robinson
Aside from those factors i can't think of anything that can prevent you from enjoying it really. Going to rewatch it on my birthday
Robert Howard
Considering a awful lot of retards honestly thought Kaiki died, yes.
Wyatt Russell
Just say you’re in it for the waifufagging and go
Jaxson Roberts
>i don't fucking know what im talking about
Christian King
The moment I realised series got worse was when Nisio assassinated Snake's popularity. It's not like that happened out of the blue, but it still was a sign that Monogatari would no longer be the same, that he can suddenly make some character a villain by some magic.
Andrew Baker
>Second Season was significantly weaker
Visually and aesthetically yes, Shaft was spread thin making the rebellion and it shows.
Narratively it was miles better than bake tho.
Ryder Lopez
2nd Season is better
Kayden Fisher
It's "many such cases". Get your memes right.
Samuel Lopez
I just finished watching Hitagi End and it was probably the best arc so far.
Are there any theories about what Kaiki was lying about in his narration?
John Taylor
>implying second season=visually and aesthetically weaker
Jordan Evans
>Monogatari was at it's peak when it didn't descend into serious plots, darker tones and drama.
so never?
Benjamin Richardson
Why don't they just have a threesome? Would Shinobu watching make it four?
Ayden Scott
>Narratively it was miles better than bake tho.
I could agree that plot got more complex. But dialogues got less exciting, the atmosphere devolved into something less pleasant and for me Ougi's introduction felt like the beginning of the end. She\he is probably one thing I dislike about later Monogatari the most. It's like Nisio tried to make one more character with witty dialogues, but ultimately failed and made something absolutely uninspiring. She talks a lot, but there wasn't a single time when a dialogue with her felt interesting or fun.
Asher Bell
I get what you mean but Ougi wasn't that prevalent in second series, those arcs can still be enjoyed on their own without caring much about rrg's arc yet.
