Meta Watching order for Monogatari, but with the missing season included
Taken from a comment—I thought it would be helpful for those who are just starting out and don't know yet
If anyone knows who made the image, let me know so I can give them credit. May Hachikuji bless you all!

Well, apparently someone pointed out that this is wrong because Koyomi appears before Owari
Also, watch episodes 1 through 9 of Monogatari Second Season, then watch Hanamonogatari, and continue with episodes 10 through 23 of Monogatari Second Season
Just to clarify! Other than that, everything's fine

Question Why was Araragi so unfazed after his arm got cut off? Spoiler
galleryJust a thought occurred to me while rewatching ougi dark 3 but I just noticed since he wasn’t a vampire in that episode he had a pretty composed reaction to having his arm cut off by the darkness. Im assuming because of all the times he’s had his body mangled multiple times it made him immune to pain like that.

Question Amarimonogatari WTF Spoiler
I'm reading the volume in question and I feel like slitting my wrists because of how boring and inconclusive it is. I'm halfway through and I think I've lost 10 years of my life. I read that Ougimonogatari is better and that skipping this one won't make me miss any important plot points, do you agree?

Question Im on the last part of Karen's bee Spoiler
Why the hell is she so strong that she's genuinely destroying roadways is she part vampire or some shit

Question Doubt after watching Sodachi lost Spoiler
So, just finished the arc, which btw was the most heartbreaking since kizu for me. But I feel like I missed an obvious point in the plot. I mean, Oikura wondered what happened to her mother, but how could the smell not alarm her, or even her neighbors if she had any? From the posts I've found it looks like she was subconsciously aware of her death, but if so, why even the social service people who went in the room didn't tell her?

Question Hey is there an updated version of the watch order image?
Sometimes I meet someone who I see is ready to watch this series and when I give them the watch order I have to always remember to include the off and monster season as the image doesn’t have it. Is there one with the off and monster season?

Other Found this Monogatari TCG at my local toy store
I was really happy to find this. I could only find 1 Monogatari fan merch at the biggest anime conventions in my country, so finding this official merch is really special to me. I’m not really sure how lucky I was, but I’m still really happy to find some Monogatari related stuff in my country.
