Monogatari

So, I'm halwfay at finishing Monogatari series, but I still can't figure out what those black/red/white scenes mean. Is it just Shaft "style", or are they actually supposed to signify something?

Just lines from the light novels.

Oh you poor little brainlet, if even the transition screens are too much for you to figure out then Monogatari isn't the series for you. You can just sit back and enjoy the pretty visuals I guess

Don't look into it. They don't have meaning.

Blink of an eye

Can you educate a poor pleb about the immeasureable depths of the series then?

It's just for style. Don't let psueds tell you otherwise.

Frow what I remember, Red lines are painful or indicate something beginning, Black lines are "scabbing over" resolving or ending something. Don't remember white lines.

This.

Don't they tend to show up when RRGI closes his eyes? It's what he sees when his eyes are closed essentially. Think the colours express emotions or something.

Cheap fillers while adding a nice style.

Who's hyped for the return of best girl, Tadatsuru?

>black

not that hard user.

he cant because there is none

>purple
senjougahara

There weren't no purple frames?

Tadatsuru is really underappreciated, poor guy just wants doll to call him daddy. It's still bullshit that he's in heaven while Hachikuji went to hell

>owari 2

No Bird no Watch

>being pretentious about monogatari, the most fanservice of fanservice anime

the autism is strong

>Owari2
>No Bird
Bird plays a big role in Ougi Dark and also appears in Hitagi Rendezvous for a bit. Still a shame though that she won't get an arc anytime soon while all other oddity girls get at least one entire book dedicated to them and Koyomi even points out that her story is not yet resolved at all

>>being pretentious about monogatari, the most fanservice of fanservice anime
>[Sarcasm 10/15] the autism is strong

There are purple frames, as well as lilac, peach, light green, yellow, blue and white ones. Don't think to much about them, at least these rarer ones seem to not mean anything and are only there for nice and fitting visuals I guess

>white lines

D-d-d-don't don't do it.

It's showing which parts of the ln they've adapted

It's a pause for emphasis where they also don't have to animate anything. Color changes by the mood of the scene or the characters in it.

Fireworksgatari soon

In his defense, there was a time when Bake was considered a masterpiece by pseudo-intellectuals. Thankfully, following seasons upped the dosage of fanservice, so barely anyone makes ridiculous claims like that anymore.

Not really, but whatever rocks your boat, user.

It actually marks signifcant parts of the LN that they didn't bother animating. Naturally it gets praised for being artsy and shit.

>the most fanservice of fanservice anime

Funny how many people I've talked to who got into it because of that and left dissapointed that it was so rare and short per season.

Guess some people don't watch the show.

Aren't they basically just "custom versions" of the classic red/black frames for specific characters? I remember Hitagi having purple frames, Hanekawa white ones etc.

White ones also appear during a moment with Snake!Nadeko and when Tsukihi explained how she came up with Platinum Mad. So yeah, they use them for specific characters (white for Hanekawa, purple for Hitagi, yellow for Shinobu, but also when it just fits visually

Shaft is really good at not forcing fanservice in monogatari.

Most fanservice in anime serves as a gag within the story. Some guy mistakenly enters a hot spring, gets punched for it. A girl trips on a pencil and her ass lands on a guy's face. etc.

Monogatari has this wonderful unveiling of fanservice. It delights in the build up and what fanservice can add to the story. Like when Araragi visits snek, he's just going to see her for bantz, while she is actively trying to seduce him in her very shy and reclusive way. Thus we get a game of twister.
Araragi visits Senjougahara at her house. She is a very forward person and likes to taunt Araragi so she will freely shower and change in front of him.
Shinobu is a being without modern conceptions of shame, so bandaid.

It's not deep or anything, but holy fuck is it hot.

It actually makes things erotic instead of just shoving tits in your face and saying, "Here. Masturbate you fuck."

Explain why the faggot MC Araragi doesn't tap that tight loli vampire cunny but instead goes for that shitty slut redditgahara.

Araragi just went for the first girl that asked him out, that's literally the only reason why he's with Gahara. Doesn't keep him from cheating anyways

I wouldn't call what he does cheating

Cheating where? As far as I know it's just sibling bonding and playing with little girls. Ragi's a man of integrity.

...

I don't really know how to describe it, but that way of doing fanservice always felt really "trolly" to me (in a good way). The author goes out of his way to create situations where fanservice is a more or less a logical consequence. It's still kind of dumb most of the time, but it's more interesting than just shoving some tits in your face (Monogatari also does this however, many Hanekawa scenes are prime examples for that).

If it makes you feel any better, bloodsucking is described to feel like sex to them so there's that.

>but it's more interesting than just shoving some tits in your face (Monogatari also does this however, many Hanekawa scenes are prime examples for that).

With Hanekawa he focuses on everything though. It's Araragi you should criticize, since every time Hanekawa is in the room, if she so much as saunters up to him he blushes. He's more aware of Hanekawa than most even now. The ass, boobs, lips, nape of the neck, and her eyes are sole focuses of his vision.

I still will love the scene where he says he pretty much says he wants to feel her up at graduation and she tells him to back off or she'll flip him.

Compare that to Sodachi. Sodachi doesn't get any sort of fanservice even though she is described as pretty cute. Araragi is terrified of her so he doesn't focus on her tits while talking to her

I dunno, he didn't do that in the Sodachi stuff and Hanekawa actually thought he was doing exactly that there.

>I still will love the scene where he says he pretty much says he wants to feel her up at graduation and she tells him to back off or she'll flip him.
That's not what he says either.

>It almost feels wrong to see someone like her wearing a uniform and coming to school—though today will be the last day I ever get a glimpse of her in that uniform.
>Thinking about it like that, I’d better be sure to get a good look.
>A real good look.
>“Don’t make me knock you over.”
>“Geez!”

He still finds her hot but by the end of the series he's moved on from her more than she has from him if anything.

Araragi finds her "overwhelming", he was scared of confronting her because of what happened with her but he's not scared of her as a person. He says that he doesn't really see her as someone of the opposite gender period but it's up to you how much stock you want to put in that I guess.

He's right tho

Being overwhelmed stopped him from sexualizing her, at least for a little while. He seems to have gotten over it by Shinobumonogatari at least

Maybe he sees her that way, but I think that way of showing Hanekawa is simply overused to the point it's lame as fuck. A particulary bad example is the "wind scene" in the first Kizu movie, where Hanekawas boobs are flopping all over the place.

I thought she barely appears in Shinobumonogatari? When are we getting full spoilers of that anyway

She doesn't appear apparently, but Araragi has a spare key to her apartment, laments that he has yet to keep spare clothes at hers and also, Hitagi is very jealous of her. Hitagi has also dyed her hair brown, the same colour LN!Sodachi has.

Huh. Didn't know the anime changed that sort of thing. What color is LN!Hitagi's hair to start with? Probably not bright purple?

The LN artwork shows her with black/dark brown hair. I believe some shots in the anime also have her with that hair color.

Not that user but everyone has black/brown hair except for Shinobu, Black Hanekawa (and post-Tiger Hanekawa), and Yotsugi I think. Also Deathtopia now as well.

Dramaturgy is a redhead in the LNs and Episode is blond. This also reminds me, I don't think Meme is ever described as being blond, he probably has brown or black hair in the books.

>She doesn't appear apparently
My hype for the novel has been ruined now.

At least she still makes Hitagi feel miserable because she knows she can't compete with perfection

>Sylveon evolves with love
>It's why Sodachi is still in her young form since no-one will ever love her.

It's similar to rhyming verse.

>Implying Araragi doesn't love her every night while Crab and Bat watch

>implying Araragi would fuck Sodachi when he lives with Karen
>implying his NBR sister is somehow more real than his real sister.

Fuck off, Kaiki. No-one is falling for your bullshit, this is a Yozuru Household.

Araragi takes the Meme position, he doesn't care if fake or not, he fucks everything

...

>implying this isn't a Yozuru Household.

What the fuck did I just say?

Reminder that crab is a cuck.

Yes, Araragi would fuck her as well

So to clarify we're not supposed to like Araragi as a person are we? He's obviously garbage.

Araragi at full Vampire with Kiss-shot at 100% couldn't handle Yozuru.
He could handle like maybe her left breast tops.

>Kiss-shot at 100%
Kiss-shot at 100% killed her, Kaiki and Meme when they were teaming up on her, Teen Shinobu may have problems against her, but Kiss-shot wipes the floor with all the specialists in the show unless Meme manages to steal her heart before the fight

Wait are we talking about the same thing here? Cause I'm just sayin Araragi ain't man enough to fuck Yozuru and now you're goin full fuckin battle shonen on me.

Also nigga, pls. Add in Tadatsuru and Gaen to the mix and 100% Kiss-shot would be 100% Kiss-fucked.

>strongest vampire in existance
>minion of stronges vampire in existence
>beating human with some oddity special attacks
user, are you retarded?

>Cause I'm just sayin Araragi ain't man enough to fuck Yozuru
Still mad that he never picked back up on training under Kagenui (I guess Gaen getting to him instead works too though)

Ah well, yeah Araragi was quite the pussy in Kizu, he even disappointed Hanekawa, I thought you were talking about fighting capabilites. Though still, I think he has gotten over not being man enough by now.

If Tadatsuru and Gaen added to the team would be enough, the world wouldn't have ended in Kabukimonogatari I'd say

I mean this I can actually argue with evidence. However the argument as stated earlier is whether Araragi could fuck Yozuru and the answer is no. He could get left breast at best at his 100%.

Araragi was never really a particularly shit-hot fighter and trying to live train Yozuru's fighting style was impossible according to her.
In his defense however Gaen is his best fit. She can accommodate his normalfag lifestyle which allows him to keep Shinobu weakened and she can still make use of him.
Him going Meme for example would leave him fighting oddities left and right which would lead him towards becoming an oddity which Yozuru states is common among specialists and that's why she has Yotsugi to act as a go-between.

>I'm sure
>would
>evidence

>Muh kanji
Oh wait, I get it now, kanji also means feelings, therefore the kanji is there for the feels.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Gaen says Yozuru "would have" as in that it is a sure thing to drop Prime Seishiro.
The fact she was avoiding getting Yozuru to destroy the revived Seishiro was because she was being petty.

What's happening in Shinobumonogatari? Do we have ANY spoilers except for that translated chapter?

A chapter was translated?

>putting Seishiro on the same level as prime Kiss-Shot

It's because Kagenui has Yotsugi as a partner that I thought Araragi woud go back to learning from her, so he could work something similar with Shinobu.

Also he and Gaen are at odds more often than not, it's just that Gaen's too OP to give a shit.

Again, learn to read. Talkin about Araragi here by using Seishiro as the relative powerlevel of what Araragi would be at his best. IE Worse than Yozuru.

Everyone knows the power rankings go Kiss-shot 100% > Yozuru > Seishiro

Araragi doesn't want Shinobu to fight and only uses her as a source of information post-Hana.
He's making a concerted effort to actually stick to his word and not rely on her which is good because relying on her is a terrible fucking idea for anything other than info.

Gaen's less direct approach to situations works more in Araragi's favour because it avoids fights and when he does get into fights, it's not just "Use Shinobu" to solve it.

Its shit

its shit what?
