I thought /a/ liking him was just a meme
Turns out there are actually people who like this piece of self-insert
I just want the monogatari threads to go away. I'm tired of this series
I only like him for his body.
>>134831118
It's called "fan girls" no one actually likes his character.
>>134831157
With Kizu next year, that is impossible.
>>134831118
you sound like a jealous faggot op
how can anybody who likes anime self insert with an open pedophile character?
Araragi is hilarious. He's a fun character.
>>134831219
don't forget he is also incestuous.
>>134831118
I want a piece of his dick.

>>134831173
This. Pure sex.
I like him because he's a huge pervert and relatable unlike most other self insert MCs. His moralfaggotry and bad taste in waifu sucks though.
>>134831118
There's a lot to dislike about Araragi, but he's far from a self-insert.
>>134831602
taking the worst girl for himself is the best thing he ever did. he's a hero
>>134831202
and you sound like pretentious faggot
he's the best.
He looks way better than most harem MC who just looks like prepubescent wide-eyed little girl with short hair and pants.
Looks good but too pedo to be husbandoable.
>>134831118
Just because he's yet another antisocial awkward character archetype, it doesn't make him a bad character
In fact he's one of the best, if not the best with an actual personality that is both likable and believable which is a rarity considering his overused pandering personality
Well at least at first, he turns into a parody of himself soon after Bake with all the incest and pedo jokes
He also chose best girl so there's that
>>134832078
how does that sound pretentious?
>>134832216
It doesn't
underage retards being butthurt is a common occurrence here
>>134831118
he's cute with an even cuter tulpa.
>>134832112
>too pedo to be husbandoable.
Just tell him not to fuck around with children instead of being a cluck like crab
He's submissive enough to listen
>>134831219
>>134831276
>open pedophile
>incestuous
You just listed the best things about him.
>>134832186
>he turns into a parody of himself soon after Bake
His best character development comes in Final Season, Bakefag.
since Monogatari series caters to fetishes. I wonder how long until we get a gay trap?

I self-insert as Kaiki , the best MC, and insert myself into a cat. Ararararraragi a shit and a pedo.

>>134832373

but not a self insert
>I thought /a/ liking him was just a meme
MAL is not /a/, so fuck off back to MAL where you clearly belong.

>>134833461
>using posts from 2009
There's your problem. Bakefags are the worst kind of people.
Araragi would probably NTR you with your 6 years old daughter.
The absolute worst husbando possible.
>>134833461
>it was probably one of the more realistic potrayals of romance
he's completely right though
If you think Araragi is a self insert character, I would like to know what it isn't one for you.
>>134833461
Sounds like it dwells down to "I just don't like this series so it must be shit". It happens with every single big fanbase, be it Fate or Eva or Yahari or whatever the fuck.
>>134833461
>Bakemonogatari scores major points--I THINK--for having a young girl character without making her a loli/sex-object
Holy fucking shit, this is gold.
>>134833532
/a/ would come off as even worse if I used images from 2015 in that collage. At least in 2009, there was Gorespammer + a plurality of users who felt that Bakemonogatari was a low quality production that disguised its cheapness behind pretension. These days? Your average /a/ user unironically treats the monogatari series as a masterpiece despite the fact that it has little actual animation, adapts the source material poorly, and is only popular because the /a/utists who like it think with their dicks.
>>134833804
The epitome of a pretentious overthinker, holy shit
Yyou aren't any better than retards who think the show is deep
Monogatari is well written and unique in quite a few aspects, being a harem with fanservice doesn't instantly make something pandering trash
That being said Monogatari does focus on pandering a lot more after Bake and isn't nearly as good
>>134832294
>Just tell him not to fuck around with children instead of being a cluck like crab
The cuck filter was removed like yesterday, dude. Get on with the times.
>>134834031
But it's true, my dick was the one that made me watch the first two seasons.
>>134833804
Jesus Christ, how are you this mad? Barely anyone in Monogatari threads thinks it's a masterpiece, and the amount of annoying faggots who think Bake was somehow better, deeper, or had less pandering than the rest of the series are just as common and annoying as shit.
>>134831118
I liked him until he became a ridiculous perverted hypocrite.
>>134834213
sure?
it does have fanservice after all
>>134834253
>deeper
when will weebs realize that a show doesn't need to be deep to be good
and the reason why Bake is so often said to be the best in the series is because it is, what a surprise
>>134834389
It's not. The characters are what make the series, and they're better developed later on.
>>134831118
How about you
Self insert yourself
People can have a number of reasons to like this show (and/or the mc) notably shaft's animation.
>>134833804
>>134834436
at joining MC's harem, yeah
I agree that SS has some arcs that are just as good like first and last though
>>134834578
>at joining MC's harem, yeah
Stop being retarded. Araragi isn't even around for half of SS. It's less of a harem than Bake was.
>Oppai in front of him
>"Please grope for 1 minute straight"
>"N-no I can't"
Into the trash he goes.
>>134832627
Monkey has a 2 foot cock thats as thick around as her thigh. I saw it on the internet. She jerks it off with her gorilla hand.
>>134834676
Let me rephrase it then
it wasn't about every girl wanting to jump on his dick
>>134834860
Every single girl except Snail explicitly wanted to jump on his dick in Bake.
>>134834906
kanbaru didn't
>>134834906

and there was also Meme

>>134834954
>>134834971
Kanbaru was just as flirtatious around him in Bake as she is in later installments.
And if you're going to count fucking Meme, then you should also count Kaiki, Kagenui, and Gaen in SS, none of which want his dick.
>>134831118
How the fuck is he self-insert?
He has a history, a personality, quirks, etc

You're right. No pedophile would ever buy that shit.

there's nothing wrong with platonic flirting
>>134833804
>Your average /a/ user unironically treats the monogatari series as a masterpiece
I always thought it was more of loving the fanservice and characters, which is good enough for me to watch an anime
Anything wrong with the story I always look at as a language barrier thing, this goes for all anime I watch though
>>134835229
Which is no different from what she does in Nise or SS, so I don't see what your problem is.
>>134835255
I never said it was, I'm talking about literally every other girl
Araragi is a useless bum who's sole ability is to make girls attracted to him. He uses his power of attraction to effect the hearts of the girls through white-knighting.
>>134835304
Who all wanted his dick in Bake. Hell, Nadeko's sole character traits in Bake were being shy and wanting Koyomi-onii-chan's dick, and it's only in SS we find that she never even loved him in the first place.
>>134835089
>HS
>>134832725
/a/ is full of MALtards.
>>134835385
Which is why Nadeko's arc in Bake is the only one that sucks
>>134835430
Seriously, HS is usually awful but it is particularly terrible for Monogatari.
Plebs love Monogatari
>>134835512
But Senjougahara and Hanekawa were all over his dick in Bake, too. No one cares because it's not the sole focus of their characters, but it's not the sole focus of their characters in SS, either. Well, maybe Senjougahara, but that's only because she's totally irrelevant to the story and we never see her.
>>134835590
I'm patrician as fuck and I enjoy Monogatari.
>>134835616
Nice try but you can't fool me pleb!
araragi really isn't that great
honestly wish zaregoto got an adaptation instead of the monogatari series
pic related it's nisioisin's best protagonist yet
>>134835605
And that's fine because that was their role in the show, the point is that it wasn't every female character
>>134835912
But the only characters who want his dick who didn't before are Hachikuji, Shinobu, and his sisters. And Shinobu and his sisters weren't even real characters in Bake, period, so they shouldn't even count.
Araragi is a gigantic whore. He's kissed, groped, and came within an inch of having sex with the imotous HOW many times? He's kissed how many other girls? Flipped skirts and groped how many other girls? Flirted with how many other girls? Why does he even pretend to be in a relationship with Senjohara?
>not liking based rrrg
>>134836154
Because Senjougahara doesn't care, as long as Araragi loves her and her only
>>134836154
In the DVD commentaries, Kanbaru and Ougi talk about how Senjougahara is the only for Araragi because no one else would be patient enough to put up with his shit.
>>134836577
Shinobu would put up with it.
Well, she has to put up with his shit.
But that's an entire different story.
>Araragi
>self insert
>>134832598
>>134836390

>>134831118
You seem to be under the impression that /a/ is one person. You also seem to hang around on MAL. You should leave.
If you insist to stay then the rules of the board do not require you to partake in the gatari threads, you could just not visit them.
>>134836910
>says the autist while spamming nurutu threads
>>134831118
The Monogatari series is the absolute pinnacle of modern anime and Japanese media as a whole. It is basically a national treasure at this point and it still has a long while until it will fall off the map.
Sorry you have such bad taste.
>>134836959
Sorry but that's Love Live.
>>134831118
>there are actually people who like this piece of self-insert
And that's the reason why.
Everybody love a character that is nihilistic, twisted and have a wicked sense of humour.
>>134837055
I was about to laugh at this but I thought about it for a second.
And Araragi is actually, all of that. Weird.
Hachiman > Araragi
I like them both though, they're intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor
>there are people that don't thinkMomokais one of the best characters in anime
I wish we had more selfish, rude, manipulating characters in anime.
>>134837333
Araragi is actually all of those.
>>134831157
This can solved by not clicking on them, or even hiding them if the thought of other people discussing things they enjoy annoys you that much.
>>134837138
Kind of? Except the huge martyrdom boner that Araragi has.
>>134836631
They describe Araragi and Shinobu's relationship as being "a relationship that was forced to continue after they already broke up," so it doesn't really count in that respect.
>>134836955
Thank you for the confirmation that the people making constant threads whining about how /a/ loves Monogatari are the newfag Narutards.
>>134837138

The only good thing about the second season was Irohasu.
>>134838229
how do you even get to that level?
>>134837124
How the fuck is Araragi nihilist in any way? Unless we're talking strictly in the sense of accepting that life has no objective purpose, which describes a lot of people of varying beliefs. It's a meme, don't try to find meaning in it that doesn't exist.
>>134839534
eat big, lift big, get big, then finally cut big
>>134839897
Meme or not he was a nihilist. Specially in Kizu.
>>134840090
If he was he would have walked right past kiss-shot
>>134840090
I'm not sure you really understand nihilism, but let's just say he was before he developed. 90% of the story occurs when he grows out of it. And it typical Monogatari fashion, Araragi is mocked constantly for it. Is Araragi really a character a "nihilistic" teenager would self-insert into?
>>134840181
except for the fact that he saved kiss-shot because he was just looking for an excuse to kill himself
>>134831118
I'd like him if he was actually that, but he's too shallow and annoying to self insert. Al tough that won't stop most of you, since you're even bigger faggots then him, which is an achievement in itself.
>>134840234
He wanted to die for purpose other than himself. A nihlist would find no particular reason to die in the first place.
>>134831157
I'm never going to stop discussing currently airing anime no matter what you Toonami children say
>>134840233
It's not a matter of whether or not nihilist teenagers would self-insert into him. Araragi is pessimistic and extremely self-deprecating which are "qualities" of a nihilist. His whole hero facade is just that. a facade.
>>134840234
Feeling worthless is not nihilistic. A nihilist does not see any worth in anything, Araragi saw more worth in kiss-shot than himself.
>>134831188
>>134838847
You are retarded.
>>134832282

>>134840450
>Feeling worthless is not nihilistic
>A nihilist does not see any worth in anything
Being a nihilist implies feeling worthless. At the end of the day trying to define nihilism is worthless.
>>134840560
>At the end of the day trying to define nihilism is worthless
Are you retarded or do you just give up?
>>134840405
Sure, he tries to act cool all the time and sometimes calls himself out for it. I wouldn't call him a pessimist at all, unless you take some of his early whining seriously when the other characters explicitly do not. I think you may be confusing what is the facade, because his martyr complex definitely isn't.
Also, that meme is about self-inserting.
>>134840511
He has charisma and isn't boring. He's also a manwhore and a hypocrite. That's a good mix.
>ararararagi xd
>crab/moneky/other animal best girl xd
>le witty dialogue
>he is a pedophile and siscon like me! best character ever!
Bakefags are even worse than Fatefags.
I like him because he doesn't give much of a fuck and just rolls with the punches while not being a passive faggot.
>>134840580
That's the whole "point" of nihilism.
>Araragi is one of the only decent harem MCs out there

>>134840619
Even worse is the normalfag overlap the fanbase has.
>>134840657
He doesn't stay that way forever, there's more to the franchise than Kizu, my image of him is that of the most recent season which is freshest in my head.
>>134840642
>Araragi is one of the only decent harem MCs out there
Repeating it over and over doesn't make it more true.
He's bland and generic self-insert as much as the others. The only difference is that he's occasionally used for fanservice, pandering to fangirls.

I'm convinced there are more images, gifs and webms of Kaiki than any other single character of any medium.
>>134831188
You mean "fanboys" or "homos", right?
For someone nihilistic, Araragi sure made a passionate discourse about how he is happy, the world shouldn't be hated no matter what and everyone can find their own perfect happiness.
>>134831219

>>134840994
Those would be Kamiya's fangirls.
In terms of female appeal Ararararagi isn't that high on the list. The girls who watch Monogatari might cling to him because he's one of the only "pretty" males on the show.
But not many girls watch Monogatari anyway.
The vast majority of his fans are definitely male.
>>134841045
>females do not watch anime
you'd be surprised
>>134841045
Just peek into your nearest anime club/con, it's mostly female.
>>134831118
I don't self insert as him, I self insert asmonkey.
/a/ really has no idea what they're talking about yet again.
>>134841599
man you're so above all of us please teach us to be enlightened like you!

>>134841045
They're either the expo cosplay types or just regular grills that watch anime. They also usually like stuff in the realm of KLK or FMA.
But I'm not a girl and if any girl on /a/ puts in her 2 cents she'll just get LONDON'd out of here.
>>134840975
He's digging his way out. Remember, when he was a shota he strongly believed in 'justice'. Seeing a lot of the shit he has probably has fucked with his initial world view and assisted in his apparent depression and martyrdom. Helping the girls is slowly but surely turning him into an existentialist wherein he acknowledges the state of the world but instead of being bitter about it he just accepts it and does what he wants.
Actually come to think of it isn't that much of anime is? An existentialist statement honoring the fascistic and buddhist/shinto past of Japan, taking into account the go with the flow attitude that has developed? Acknowledging the pointlessness and shittiness of modern Nip life by making everyone a high school student but always working for something better by having the protagonists struggle against 'evil' to transform themselves and come out on top?
>>134840611
>He has charisma and isn't boring.
That's not even an answer, since I asked to clarify WHAT makes him "charismatic and not boring".
What charisma? Making stupid overreacting tsukkomis and being obnoxious pervert? Other than than he's generic MC in a sense of making "right" choices during the course of story and helping girls.
You probably think that line about the cat making him feel lust sounds cool. *tips katana*
>>134831157
Suck dick
>>134832598
Agreed, it's absolute garbage.
