Arraragi-senpaaai

OSHINOOO, OSHINO MEMEEEE!

I mean, doesn't Ougi's birth make Araragi himself an oddity, even though Ougi is physically separate from Araragi's body? (I know they're ultimately the same person)

I know it doesn't make much sense to say this, but when you look at Ougi's face, they really are identical (but then again, they are the same thing)

I'm not sure if not watching *Puella Magi Madoka Magica* is considered a war crime after having watched the *Monogatari* series

But when I started watching it today, as soon as Homura Akemi appeared, I started thinking, “Hey... I recognize this voice; I’d recognize it anywhere”

I went straight to look up the voice actors for the series, and suddenly I saw

OH, IT’S HITAGI

It took me by surprise, but seeing that the series is animated by SHAFT—with those visual elements that remind you of Monogatari—along with Senjougahara’s voice is an experience that already had me saying

“This—I have no doubt it’s going to be good.”

Spoilers

Ever since I watched the series, I’ve really wondered how Oshino had that inhuman ability to stop the attack in this scene from *Kizumonogatari*

I love that Oshino is such an enigmatic character in the series; he’s actually one of my absolute favorites because of this whole “Buddhist Mediator” vibe surrounding him. As a practitioner of Buddhism myself, he struck me as a special character—though that’s clearly a personal preference. They portray him as so undeniably cool in the movies and the series itself that it’s hard not to appreciate him

There’s a lot of speculation about where Oshino’s power comes from, but honestly, it seems like being an adult in the Monogatari universe somehow grants you the ability to be omnipotent.

I understand that Oshino, Kaiki, Kagenui, and Gaen were all caught up in a curse that was imposed on them at the time of Ononoki’s creation.

I’m not entirely sure, but I understand that Oshino and Kaiki’s condition is never discussed.

However, I feel that Oshino’s power (as a theory) works in such a way that, depending on the situation or character, the amount of his power or strength is constantly changing. He’s also stripped of the ability to carry out a major event involving a good-versus-evil dichotomy, forcing him, in a way, to always remain in the middle as a sort of guide.

I also often get the feeling that Oshino can't stay in one place—almost as if something were forcing him to move around constantly. I mean... I think Oshino is pretty close to what you'd call a vagabond.

But these are just speculations. If anyone has the answer to this, go ahead and share it!

I think this is something a lot of people have noticed about Monogatari, but I have a certain idea about how Monogatari deals with the naked body. What I mean is

It’s clear that Monogatari, in a way, has that kind of humor that tries to be sexual but ultimately ends up being more like lighthearted humor without affecting the story in any way

But what I really think is that Nisio treats the naked human body very naturally, and that’s largely an artistic element of the series and the novel itself that I really like

It’s not that everything is directly sexual; rather, there’s that aspect that tells you, “Hey, this is a naked body—look at it as if it were no big deal,” considering that many other series treat the naked body as something extremely taboo

Monogatari is rich in many artistic, philosophical, and Japanese cultural elements

I tend to see a lot of posts featuring characters in somewhat “provocative” poses here every day, but I have a hard time seeing it that way—even if they’re wearing less clothing or however you want to put it—because I feel that the nature of Monogatari strips it of that sexual connotation; after all, Nisio tends to play a lot with concepts

A masterpiece in its own right

Have you noticed any changes in Araragi and Shinobu’s relationship that are significantly different now?

I mean, you could say that Araragi is a young adult now—much more mature since the college arc began—who thinks things through more carefully and is supposed to have come to terms with those parts of himself he used to ignore.

I don’t know exactly how things are right now because, unfortunately, few novels have been translated into my language, but I’m somewhat up to date on several important details.

How are they getting along right now in the “Family Season”? Watching their relationship in the anime—how it developed—was truly profound. Seeing how they lovingly accepted each other in their lives forever, until one of them dies, was like a healing balm for the soul.

Tell me all about it!

Over the years, we’ve had a truly considerable number of Monogatari stories. There’s so much to thank this wonderful author for, because I’m sure he’s accompanied many of us as we’ve grown over the years, creating a story as vast as Monogatari itself.

I understand that *Zoku Owarimonogatari* is really a kind of ending for those who feel they’ve had enough *Monogatari*—after all, it provides closure for “that hormonal, clueless teenage Araragi” as he moves on to a more adult and mature stage. Of course, that’s covered later in *Monsters*; I mean, *Zoku* can serve as an ending for anyone who chooses to see it that way.

But what about you guys—how much longer do you think this series and the novels will continue?

By the way, I didn’t know Nisio had worked on JoJo’s!

Desde que tengo memoria he adorado los juegos rítmicos por su musica y especialmente por la sensación tan increíble que te dejan al probarlos, es como cosquillas en el cerebro

Anteriormente, solía utilizar mucho Osu!mania, disponía de una laptop pero debido a un inconveniente tuve que dejar de usarla, actualmente no dispongo de una

Y por eso! denme recomendaciónes de juegos rítmicos top-tier para celulares, amiguitos mios

As someone who’s watched the anime all the way up to the latest episode, I really have to say that the way Shinobu interacts with Araragi is incredibly genuine and authentic. Above all, I think it’s great that in every adventure she’s involved in with Araragi, Shinobu seems to keep up with him in absolutely everything—even though she’s a top-tier vampire, it’s as if she’s become “more human” and specifically more feminine, considering that after she became Kiss-Shot, she was like a bucket of cold water—she was so harsh. Ever since she started living with him, she’s sometimes really funny, she cries dramatically, and she acts like a sweet girl every now and then—and I find that really entertaining

I’m not entirely sure if it’s because Araragi has some kind of influence on her on a physical/mental level—since, of course, they share a soul or something like that—but their interactions are amazing

I also think this isn’t mentioned much, but Araragi’s voice really is exactly how I imagine a Japanese narrator’s voice to be—it’s as if his voice were perfect for narration, and it also sounds quite authentic compared to many other voices in the industry

This series is pure gold
