It felt to me more like the earlier seasons to be honest. Finally it came back to being about girls in shitty life situation needing saving but having to save themselves in the end. Not having an animal doesn't make it significantly different.

But while Sodachi arc is one of my favorite in the series, shinobu mail was just good, which weights down the season as a whole.

Shinobu mail was 4/10 at best

and neither the melodramatic retard arc was good, just because it's an arc structured like Bake's, it doesn't make it well written

Series lost it's steam after Bakemonogatari. Shaft doesn't give a fuck anymore and it doesn't help that Nisio is an unprofessional faggot who destroyed this franchise when he was writing Nise.

It's fairly well written outside of maybe the last episode conclusion, and the apartment episode was pretty much one of the best episodes in the series so no idea what you mean.

>>135747746
You were doing alright until the snake part.
Snake was decent. It might have been a bit overshadowed by the other arc but it does not make it bad.

You could just blame everything on Aniplex really and then get accused of being Aniplex-Guy and still be right. They're behind virtually every bad trend and cancerous anime franchise of pretty much everything in the decade so far and because the model works we just keep getting more of that shit. The only one I can't really blame largely on them is idol anime, that's largely a Lantis and King Record thing though the industry is kind of following suit

>call monogatari shit for the state of the industry
Owari showed that Monogatari is still at the top of its game even with Bake direction gone. Compare that to a lot of the cancerous shit we get every season and people still blame Monogatari? Then there's the hilarious irony where we have anons in this very thread throwing shit at the arcs that attempted some level of character introspection/storytelling while complaining about lack of muh fights, muh oddities and muh fanservice.

>milking this shit
When we're already in the middle of the final season with even Kizu on the way? The rest of the LNs are just side stories focused on individual characters so that shit doesn't even count.

>everything is shit but I can't decide what is
This is literally "shitpost monogatari: the thread". Basically anti-monogatarifags proving themselves to be more cancerous than actual monogatarifags. All of you can only pretend to be so retarded.

Back in the 2000's I never thought I'd find a studio or franchise I disliked more than what Kyoani was doing but Monogatari really took the cake. Kyoani might have popularized vapid shit and really jump started the industries putting all the power and say in the hands of otaku but at least they always put effort in regardless. Shaft basically popularized the low standards talky fanservice LN anime where everything revolves around this weird dichotomy of thrusting fanservice in the viewers face while at the same time trying to seem as deep and meta as possible through the droning convoluted twisty repetitious dialogue that judging by Fate's popularity otaku just seem to absolutely eat up. Now LN/VN otaku pretty much dominate and control most of what gets made, supported and gets sequels in anime via their purchasing blocs while everything else languishes unless it can hit up the mainstream god forbid. The only real change since has been the rise of fujoshi as a competing obsessive demographic who buy even more shallow vapid shit with even lower standards somehow. I wonder what brain dead money slave demographic the anime industry is going to hit up next that can allow it to lower it's standards even further. It might be idolfags judging by Uta no Prince Season 3 and Symphogear GX.

Are Monogatarifags the most trollbaiting shitposting fanbase of all time before Fate arrived as competition seriously going to play some sort of victim card now?
>>
Off the top of my head, Shakugan no Shana is the most prominent cause for the current state of the industry, but I'm willing to bet there's something else more to blame from somewhere between 2004-2008 that I'm forgetting.

>>135750713

It' still a cash cow but I've never seen more criticism for the franchise than I have in the wake of the most reason season. It used to be virtually all 100% positive and people would write the most unconditionally glowing things about it. Now it just seems like shitposters, dumb teenagers and to be honest assholes are the ones still clinging to it for dear life. One can only hope it's really starting to wind down, but I figure Shaft/Aniplex is going to pick up the side story novels to exploit the fanbase indefinitely.

Bake was legitimately amazing.

If you watched anime when it aired you should know, it was something different and unique
Even with some otaku jokes and fanservice, it has cool unique visual style, god tier unique OST, solid mysteries with fun characters, an actual romantic relationship and episode 12

While there are few arcs that are great like the last one in SS, overall the rest of the series shits on Bake's strong points as it gets saturated more and more by trashy sequels
>>
>>135751717
isn't bake based on the middle point of a series of novels?

You sound really confused anon. That or you're just a thinly-veiled Kyoanifag.
>>
>>135751781
kyoani did nothing wrong
>>
>>135751776
Bake was adapted from the first two volumes of the series though chronologically it's not actually the first in the timeline. It's just the narrative starts at a certain point where it then leads up to the actual beginning which is Kizumonogatari (hence all the hype surrounding Kizu in the first place since it's been long overdue).

Kyoani hasn't made anything good besides Hibike in the last 5 years

>>135746978
Bake was better directed, scored, and had superb atmosphere.

Nisio got better as a writer and latter seasons have better plots and character development.

Nise is the happy medium between the two.
>>
>>135751954
The entirety of Bake basically hints at the beginning story though (from the start and even the end), so while it's fairly self-contained it also acts as one huge buildup to the prequel story which is Kizu (volume 3 in the series just after Bake). Hell you're lucky enough you didn't have to wait 6 years for it.

I won't deny that Monogatari has harem elements but considering how it has another alpha male character damn near cucking the MC and recently one of the girls practically having the equivalent to an ex-boyfriend, it already elevates it beyond the usual haremshit.
>>
>>135752109
Totally not a harem. It's not like characters other than the MC and the girls who want his dick are literally replaced by cardboard cutouts or anything.
>>
>>135752386
No it's a harem dude, if anything this just shows that harem is not a synonym for bad

I said Hibike was good
I'm not a joyless elitist snob, they're just continously making garbage

Garbage Kyoani made in the last few years:
Amagi, KnK, Chuuni S1 and S2, Tamako Market

Garbage Shaft made in the last few years:
Every monogatari besides SS, Nisekoi, Graffiti, Mekakucity, Denpa Onna, Sasami-san
Alright Madoka was good, but even that was milked with unneeded cash grab sequel

That's pretty fucking awful
>>
>>135752540
>kaiki
>alpha male

Are you shitting me? It only seems that way because he's dealing with girls half his age. He probably got cucked by Kanbaru's dad for being a bitter faggot.
>>
>>135753123

Except the focus doesn't fall on his romantic relationships and his edgelord status paints him more as giving zero fucks at this point in the present timeline of the series. Hell, the amount of shitstorm Koimonogatari caused for the haremfags was enough to make his character worth it.
>>
>>135753380
He's still a beta faggot for remaining butthurt about Kanbaru's mom being with other man 20 years later as seen in Hana. Fuck, his personality is edgy because of that.
>>
>>135753706

It still doesn't change the fact that his presence alone made an unassuming cuck out of Araragi, who's the main protagonist of the series. If anything, him being a beta faggot-turned-edgelord makes it even worse that he was able to pull that shit off. It's no wonder why so many haremfags were butthurt over his existence even when he already got bashed by a random kid.
>>
>>135753953
I'm not denying that. I'm just debating his status as an alpha or beta male. He easily falls under the beta tagline. The only alpha male in Monogatari is probable Meme since he does his thing without bothering anyone.
>>
>>135742750
No, that would be idolshit. I can't wait for that to die so we can burn the corpse, put the ashes on a rocket, and launch it into the sun.

Yeah if you think that's a defense then you're an idiot. The point is actually that it can always get worse, but /a/ can't understand anything outside of the framing of Kyoani vs. Shaft for the most part so of course you'd find a way to read it that way to shitpost.

What the hell are you talking about you fucking newfag? Kaiki has always been one of the most beloved characters. It's only semi-recently that shitposters have started using him as bait, mostly because of the 'cuck' meme. And even then it was mostly just one guy.
