>>139551287

I don't know, maybe, however I'm thinking that they may have to go do an original anime project. They did come out with some pretty great shows in the past but it kind of disappoints me to see them only working with two projects.

They have 3gatsu and Fate coming up too. I'm just glad that they're getting big projects that aren't Monogatari or Madoka.

In addition to my last response, Shaft has so many great animators there so it kills me to see them not expanding their talents. Shit, the Kizu films might be the greatest things in terms of quality to come out of shaft.

Why are monogatari threads so fucking trash?
It doesn't even appeal to normalfags, so what gives?
>>
>>139551702
So the egregious use of title cards that the series took forever to shed (or atleast deal with more sensibly) was Oishi's fault? Pretty much all the meaningful/interesting internal monologue in Bakemono was still cut out even with them there, all the title cards effectively did was mark out what scenes Shaft didn't bother animating + give those "Monogatari is deep" guys something else to latch onto.
>>
>>139547350

I don't mean it to dismiss the show as bad though. Like, he's one of the most creative dudes at the studio so I think it'd be best for him to move on to less niche stuff. At this point the only people who watch Monogatari are Monogatari fans who'll like the show pretty much no matter what. Let him use his talent on something new and fresh.

You roe tinted faggots suck a mean dick. Bake set the tone and had style going for it, but some Araragi fightan scenes aside it wasn't nowhere near the best animated of the bunch. Nise, Neko and SS all had better character animation. Get fucked.

Owari and app shorts had the excuse of Kizu overlap.

Yes, it still pulls very impressive numbers despite having over 70 episodes in various seasons now. Talking over 10k per volume still.

Bake's stories were where the series' narrative at it's most hollow, and you can feel it too. Same formulaic structure for all but one of them where girl shows up with problem, plot device Meme man steps in to explain how to sort it out and then you get your obligatory preachy moral of the story at the end.

Fair enough if you just prefer that to the rest of the series, but simply dressing that shit up with some pretty visuals does not make it a masterpiece like people here make it out to be
hell it only made the massively underveloped cast and simplistic & overly naive narrative stick out even more if you actually bothered to pay attention to what you were looking at
>>
>>139565485
I didn't order anything but i'll take it.
>>
>>139566222
bake was the best because it was simple and it didn't rely on faux-intellectual cabbage. it had a single theme and it sticked to it until the end. it started with araragi and hanekawa discussing their plans for the culture festival and ended precisely with them attending said festival. it's someting the rest of the series lacks.
>>
>>139566573
>and it didn't rely on faux-intellectual cabbage
Pretty much none of it does
according to /a/ any series having some sort of running motif makes it tryhard unless it's so simple that discussion of it isn't possible
>>
>>139566573
>it started with araragi and hanekawa discussing their plans for the culture festival and ended precisely with them attending said festival.
I never actually noticed this. Good point.
>>
>>139554636
Those split-second still shots were awful
and they still didn't even manage to cover everything from the LNs somehow, nowhere close with a couple arcs even

Monogatari adapts terribly in anime format. Zaregoto would too for the exact same reasons, I don't get why people here keep complaining about the lack of one.
>>
>>139566573
>it had a single theme and it sticked to it until the end.
Almost every season of Monogatari does this. The only one that didn't was Owarimonogatari and that was only because Vol 3 wasn't animated, not because of a lack of narrative structure.

Not him but the rest of the series was ruined because Nisio gave no fucks at all during Nise, which wasn't even supposed to be animated. SS was supposed to be about the characters but these characters had already been ruined because of Nisio's unprofessionalism as a writer.

Monogatari in general doesn't. You probably just have a personal preference for Oshino being the one to spoonfeed exposition to you over other characters.

Nisio is typically really transparent and handhold-y with his themes. This series isn't "deep" on any level, you're just dense.

It wasn't even entirely goofing around. Like the bath scene in Nise, that was a deliberate discussion of their situation that she dressed up as goofing around so that it wasn't awkward.
>>
>>139569565
I don't think too many people will disagree with you about Gaen, she's obnoxious as hell.

I ended up hating Hana as the worst shit of that all tension from the koyomi dead LN first release and other events always died because Araragi was fine in Hana. Glad these new LN's of off season have chunks happening after Hana time frame. Hyped for the Deathopia stuff. Though who knows if that will go anywhere.

Because Bake was really good and I want to see if they can regain that quality. I think they did at points but it's mostly been disappointing. Also most gatari fans agree that Nise was bad and still watch it so I don't think it's that strange.

There's no way I can calm down. I don't regard SHAFT as a godlike studio (I would say "Madhouse" is more one, but they tend to use lots of people from other studios to do their stuff) but I enjoy their sakuga style that has a sort of "old-fashion" feel to it and can be surprisingly fluid and it's kinda maddening to see them stuck with Nisioisin shit rather than doing more interesting stuff. Monogatari has grown very stale and the shitfest that was Owari comforted me in this train of thought.

>thinking SHAFT is going to be able to ever match the combination they came into with NisiOisin

I don't think you quite understand, anon. SHAFT has reached their peak, as long as NisiOisin continues to write Monogatari, they are going to make hand over fist when it comes to sales.
Once Monogatari finishes, they aren't going to get any better. They're just going to find another LN series to animate to continue making cash.

What you should really be hoping for is that they use the cash they make from Monogatari to start another original project which fully capitalizes upon the talent within SHAFT in an original production playing to key players strengths.

>Bakemonogatari
Introducing and developing characters with the MC helping solve their oddity related problems
>Nisemonogatari
Focuses on three less developed characters, shifting attention from character interaction and development to how oddities fit in society
>Nekomonogatari
A necessary prequel. Not good or bad on its on, but a lead in to second season, or part 1 of Hanekawa's arc
>Monogatari Second Season
Takes the characters from Bake all the way to their inevitable conclusion. Develops them further by giving each a new oddity related issue to deal with, but there's little to no mystery
>Hanamonogatari
An epilogue to the series before the final season starts, exists mostly to showcase that oddities are still present, but Araragi is no longer needed to deal with them
>Tsukimonogatri
Plot, and nothing but plot to bridge the gap to the next part
>Owarimonogatari
A look at what would happen if Araragi didn't help a girl plagued by oddity related issues, before focusing on developing a character that's been there from the start. The first a return to Bake's mystery storytelling before reverting to Second Season and onwards plot-driven narrartive
>Koyomimonogatari
Slice of life that turns into plot

Am I wrong?
>>
>>139597990
>What you should really be hoping for is that they use the cash they make from Monogatari to start another original project
But that's what I'm hoping for. In fact, I'm constantly hoping for Anichart to be filled with "anime original" mentions. I know this is a fantasy, but I would like Japanese animation to spread its wings and break away from the clutches of manga/LN/VN industries and becomes a true force that can stand alongside them instead of being always treated as the advertising platform and the "read the original source" medium. It's frustrating.
>>
>>139598426
You expect too much from business, anon. That's what anime is first and foremost, a business. They exist to make money and as such they will take the safer route when it comes to animating by picking things with established fanbases.

It's a harsh reality but everything you love is just an off-shoot from amoral business people trying to sell someone something even if you personally aren't paying for it.

Bake's probably the most consistent in quality from beginning to end. Visually the prettiest too.

Pretty much all the best individual arcs happen outside of it though. Series is pretty hit-or-miss in general but since people on /a/ typically can only speak in hyperbole, a series can only either be amazing or garbage with no inbetween on here.

Shinobu. Adult Hachikuji too. Sure they have lots already, but they need more.

Imouto?

>>139600232
Koyomi Reverse, a story that hasn't been animated yet with some alt reality hijinks (sort of). In that story we get a Sodachi who Araragi managed to seperate from her family and she's been living in the Araragi household ever since as his sister.

>What you should really be hoping for is that they use the cash they make from Monogatari to start another original project which fully capitalizes upon the talent within SHAFT in an original production playing to key players strengths.

It's almost as if they started an original magical girl series in which every episode will have different key staff to show off their talents.

I liked it more than most people seem to. It properly introduced Shinobu. Thats a huge plus.

It introduced Kaiki.

Big plus.

Had some of the best snail scenes.

Another big plus. Yeah, it had some pointless fanservice, but if you like the characters, NISE had a ton to love.
