Order To Watch Monogatari Series:

Porigon Makoto

Order of publication: (2009 - 2018).

The release order is almost always the most workable for any anime, series, or movie; however there are some controversies and Monogatari Series may be one of them. And why I say that "it may be one of them" and not "it is one of them" is due precisely to the fact that the work does not and will never have an exact order to watch, but rather, several forms authorized even by the author himself. Among them, we find 3 ways to adventure in Monogatari. So, let's take a look at the most popular one: the Order of publication.

  1. Bakemonogatari (2009).
  2. Nisemonogatari (2011).
  3. Nekomonogatari Kuro: Black (2012).
  4. Monogatari Series 2nd Season (2013).
  5. Hanamonogatari (2014).
  6. Tsukimonogatari (2014).
  7. Owarimonogatari (2015).
  8. Koyomimonogatari (2016).
  9. Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen (2016).
  10. Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen (2016).
  11. Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen (2017).
  12. Owarimonogatari 2nd Season (2017).
  13. Zoku Owarimonogatari (2018).

The order indicated by Nisio Isin is not complicated at all. Basically, you'll only place Kizumonogatari movies I, II and III after (1) Bakemonogatari. After finishing the 3 films, you must continue through (2) Nisemonogatari and follow the release order mentioned in the previous topic.
Nisio Isin Himself says that this is the order of best experience for those who are seeing it for the first time, as even though Kizumonogatari is set before, the audience needs to have a bit of background and knowledge about all the main characters featured in (1) Bakemonogatari. And let's face it, if the author messed up his entire timeline, it's because he wanted to show something that could only be seen this way. No wonder this series is so magical for its complexity.

  1. Bakemonogatari (2009).
  2. Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen (2016).
  3. Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen (2016).
  4. Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen (2017).
  5. Nisemonogatari (2011).
  6. Nekomonogatari Kuro: Black (2012).
  7. Monogatari Series 2nd Season (2013).
  8. Hanamonogatari (2014).
  9. Tsukimonogatari (2014).
  10. Owarimonogatari (2015).
  11. Koyomimonogatari (2016).
  12. Owarimonogatari 2nd Season (2017).
  13. Zoku Owarimonogatari (2018).

Chronological order:

This is the order to avoid if you are seeing it for the first time. Although the chronological order may seem right as it would be a tale in a linear fashion, you will often feel lost in the story by jumping back and forth between stories and arcs, as well as missing some ideas that should have been presented earlier if were viewing in the order of release or in the order indicated by the author.

  1. Kizumonogatari I: Tekketsu-hen (2016).
  2. Kizumonogatari II: Nekketsu-hen (2016).
  3. Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen (2017).
  4. Nekomonogatari Kuro: Black (2012).
  5. Bakemonogatari (2009).
  6. Nisemonogatari (2011).
  7. Monogatari Series 2nd Season (2013).
  8. Owarimonogatari (2015).
  9. Tsukimonogatari (2014).
  10. Koyomimonogatari (2016).
  11. Owarimonogatari 2nd Season (2017).
  12. Zoku Owarimonogatari (2018).
