Monogatari Series does not focus on romance too much in the series itself. But man, the episodes that do are such top-of-the-line quality.

The Senjougahara arc in Owarimonogatari was so peak
Quiddity1312025-12-25 00:07
A big reason for me why I liked Owarimonogatari season 2 so much.
Any-Computer-40532025-12-24 18:02
Episode 12 of Bakemonogatari has got to be one of the best anime episodes I've ever seen in my life, dear god this was perfection in every aspect, from the dialogue between Araragi and Hitagi's dad to the music and ending fade
Efficient_Phase13132025-12-24 20:41
absolute all time great anime episode for sure
PerspectiveForeign742025-12-24 18:15
I love this episode
Nova-ded2025-12-24 19:56
my life peaked here
Fryng2025-12-24 20:27
The ending song for this one is my favorite one in the monogataris and the lyrics contain a lot of what she says in this scene
Kougeru-Sama2025-12-24 22:05
"Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" has been my favorite song since it came out. Even to this day.
wjodendor2025-12-24 23:04
Supercell also did the end theme for Witch on the Holy Night, which is also a banger
FaeAura2025-12-25 00:28
Admittedly having heard this ED through anime music playlists and finding out it was Monogatari was pretty much the push that got me to watch the show. I regret nothing. Monogatari is peak.
Efficient_Phase13132025-12-24 20:39
All time great anime scene from all time great episode. Series never reached these heights again (as much as I love the rest)
gta00122025-12-24 20:41
Could never for the life of me get into any monogatari.
The rapid quick artsy cuts i find annoying, the dialogue that everyone loves I find pretentious.
For this clip I found this line kind of hilarious "Remember that one time i was almost raped" "Uh oh hmm" - Classic MC response
fvckminobaby2025-12-24 22:20
How should he have answered???
Ordinal43NotFound2025-12-24 21:18
Seriously can't wait for this moment to be topped in maybe 10 years when \[Ikusamonogatari\]>!Araragi finally includes Shinobu in their new vow lol. Basically 2 decades worth of character development paying off right there. I was in absolute tears when reading it. Especially since Senjou and Shinobu never properly interacted before.!<
Embarrassed_Eye_79442025-12-24 23:40
what do you mean by ''the vow'' is it like a marriage one or what?
Ordinal43NotFound2025-12-25 00:00
Not quite, \[Spoilers for Ikusa\]>!Araragi and Senjou is already married at that point. The "vow" is Senjou promising Araragi that she will also raise Shinobu with him as a family and even to go as far as letting Shinobu feed on her blood too thus making her a quasi-vampire.!<
Kougeru-Sama2025-12-24 22:05
If they ended the entire franchise here, I would've been completely content.
idkidkwhoiam2025-12-24 22:06
One of the best episodes of the series for me.
DaREY2972025-12-24 22:55
My favourite episode of all time, also cemented Kimino Shiranai Monogatari as my favourite ED of all time as well with it.
WinnerWake2025-12-25 15:33
A few years ago r/anime also selected it as their favorite
Embarrassed_Eye_79442025-12-24 23:39
one of if the best episode in bakemonogatari
Dog_in_human_costume2025-12-24 23:40
I was already all in on Senjougahara Hitagi, but this episode made my heart melt for her
Consistent_Case13222025-12-25 00:10
Peak, but not top 2 Araragi and Senjougahara scene. [Zoku Owari] >!Zoku conclusion!< and [Owari 2] >!car scene in owari 2!< are better imo. Peak episode, maybe top 15 in the series.
pekor46bit2025-12-25 01:42
The best anime dating episode
ZeroZion2025-12-25 02:47
Senjougahara best girl. From suggestion to plea to command.
LegendaryZXT2025-12-25 03:47
The virgin play the OP during the climax vs the Chad ED which bleeds into the episode. (I've always liked the latter better).
zdemigod2025-12-25 06:59
The best anime I can never recommend. I loved monogatari so much
Voiddy2332025-12-25 07:13
This could be us
Traditional-Leave1082025-12-25 11:12
should i watch monogatari ? please give me the reason without being biased. i heard it is 90% dialogue so does it get boring because of that ?
Baaasbas2025-12-25 11:47
Stuff like this always depends on what you personally like! Monogatari is a series mainly about the characters and their interactions with each other. It does definitely not get boring, but you have to pay attention closely; personally, I experienced that you can not watch more than 2 episodes a day.
It's not a series known for its action, but there are some action heavy scenes sometimes. What kept me drawn in is that I love stories that are more focused on Coming of Age stories or are heavily focused on character development. The joy of finishing an arc, finding out the mystery, and the implication on the characters is something almost no series does better. Furthermore, the series explores some unconventional themes combined with an unreliable narrarator. (Which makes the series very fun to explore and gives it even more depth!) The series is thus stylistically very different than regular animes.
It is definitely in my top 3 anime, but be beware! There are some ecchi and weird elements that you also have to go through. I personally didn't mind, but it might scare some people away. If you ever decide to watch it, make sure to follow the light novel release order, and not the airing order. (airing order is only different because of production delays)
LeonKevlar2025-12-25 11:55
This scene was just absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect payoff to end Bakemonogatari on.
GARlactic2025-12-25 15:01
Gosh I fucking love this show.
WinnerWake2025-12-25 15:26
Peak scene, I love the connection to the ending
Sad-Investment-16962025-12-25 18:10
I remember I watched this at 2 AM. Feels so unreal after all of the mistery thing that just happened. Also I can't stop listening to the ed song at that time
Mysterious_Cup_60242025-12-25 19:22
Arararagi: Say Senjoughara...
Senjoughara: Oto San, Araragi is trying to tell you something.
