Because Nisio is unironically a good writer.

I like little girls.

He likes little girls.

I dropped it. It's not very entertaining. I just lost interest.

The writing is good, but honestly no one would watch this without cute girls.

Otaku culture
they will watch anything that panders to them
are you new?

The writing is brilliant. The interactions between all the different combinations of unique characters is extraordinarily interesting, and even if they give you a sense of "what is the point of what they are talking about?" they never fail to slot together as an important part of the main plot in some surprising way by the end. The weird and wacky Shaft visuals keep the pace moving and prevent the very long conversations from becoming dull.

I'm asking why people here watch it.

I'd watch Koi and both Owari's 2 seasons even without cute girls. Although I can't imagine what they'd even look like.

He is hiding the fact that he also likes little girls.

Watch kizumonogatari fgt.

this

Otherwise it's mostly too subtle for me

This. It would probably end up like Ping-Pong or Tatami Galaxy in terms of threads if it didn't have the waifu bait.

Cute girls, based mc, nice banter & dialogue

Garbage like any other harem.

Ariragi-san.

It's just good

See

...

Because I have 150 IQ and need to prove to the dumb brainlets that I understand the deep plots and intrigue of this show.

It's a harem show with words words words.

>Why do so many people follow this franchise?

Because it is the only story that involves a wife who is not a wife and a girlfriend who is also a lover that could also be a wife in the future. But wait, he will have two wives at the same time if that happens! Sounds confusing enough? Of course it does because it is so unrealistic.

This is all thanks to Nisio's unparalleled genius!

...

The most unique and interesting harem ever created

Fanservice for people who think they're more intelligent than other people.

Because I like self-inserting as the victims of Araragi's sexual assault.

it's unironically good

I want to take sexual advantage of the snail.

I want to cum in her pussy and have her scoot along the floor pretending to be a snail

I don't know honestly. This show is terrible. The only thing its good for is the doujinshi and 18+ pictures floating around the net. Can't stand watching it though. Shaft needs to die.

Why do you say that as if it's a negative?
>if this show didn't have its LIKEABLE CHARACTERS, it'd be way less popular
Yeah, that's common sense.

It has a lot of cute girls.

For me, Shinobu is pretty much the only reason I have any interest. Haven't watched the show since nisemonogatari but Shinobu is too good to forget the show.

Kizu is the worst place to start for an anime only fag. The main thing people know the Monogatari Series for is the fleshed out characters and extensive narration. Both of which the Kizu adaptation cuts out, favouring flashy visuals and heavy tone over them, and is mainly made for people who have already read the novel/are already familiar with the series. Watching Kizu would neither give you a good example of what series is like overall, nor give you something you'd enjoy as your first experience.

>What's the appeal?
Otaku pandering, waifus around every corner, artistic directing so as to appear deep.

You could replace all the girls in any given show with boys, have them be just as likeable, and watch the popularity of the show plummet anyway.

Obviously for plot.

Depends on how the writing changed to accompany the changed genders, although I agree that plenty of people would be put off by seeing a show filled with cute boys due to the assumption that it's going to be written very differently. But even then, it may just find popularity with a new audience. The main demographic who read Nisio's novels are female anyway.

nice

>MFW user has bigger resolution than me

you bet

I only managed to finish original Monogatari: Crab, Money, Snail and I think Snake.
Does it get better?
Backgrounds made my eyes bleed.

HD porn

Pornogatari

i remember bake had bite sized ~3 episode arcs that were easy to watch in chunks and end up in a binge
can't remember why i actually liked it though, and i haven't continued season season in months

Yeah, I don't get it either.
Only thing I remember is something about a toothbrush.

Even if yours is smaller, I can still appreciate it.

...

This is unironically true.

How do you even get into this franchise?
Seems like a mess.

Girls and fanservice paired with decent bantz

Episode 1, then 2, and so on.

I'm only watching this because a cute girl has been bullying me into for the last 7 months

so far no regrets but the fanservice in season 2 is making me embarrassed

This, but the adaptations are pretentious.

perfect for pretentious people

Shinobu, Ononoki and Snail

Your post is pretentious.

Define pretentious

I enjoy the banter. I don't think it's a masterpiece but the characters are entertaining enough and even the boring arcs have something to enjoy.

Also, Kizu is probably one of the best directed animated movies of all time. Shame about the pacing.

Literally watch in production order

I just want to fuck Arararagi.

dont we all

>watching Kizu for first time
>this fucking happens
I don't know if I should laugh or be upset.

>he didn't get actual subs
Stop streaming

>waiting to watch a movie i'll probably only see once and delete

Legal pedo wish fulfillment.

Exactly right

But I only watch for Crab, Cat, Math and Monkey.

I'm impressed by such a post

It's a good thing I'm not a lolicon or I may have even been aroused

nisio's style of writing and shinbo's direction and visual choices are addictive to me

Extremely dynamic dialogue making it just super fun listening to the characters. That and some basic but good messages presented in a great way

Big tits

Fanservice

Is there an actual good overarching story beyond the MC bantering with his harem back and forth?

Yes, and it's 2deep4u.

Big Fat Cat Tats

Well there must be something appealing about it if it's currently #1 on MAL. (for what it's worth)

Yeah, Im starting to consider owari s2 to be equal to Ping Pong.

Are you literally homosexual

>waiting
>has been out for months

>The main demographic who read Nisio's novels are female anyway.
What? Are you saying this because females have a higher tendency of reading novels?

PLOT

This season was definitely top tier.
As somone who doesnt give a shit about the harem girls or looking at them naked i enjoy the show simply because it has interesting concepts, and im a sucker for supernatural anime

""cool"" guy main character that looks average and every girl in the world lusts for him.

Whoever takes mal rating seriously needs to be shot.

>looks average
Sure, lad

in everything else he looks normal.

Really.

Clearly.

There's no need to take it seriously and the community there is shit, but you do have to realize that it's a huge sample size. The rating on Zoku wasn't on the season itself, but on the series as a whole because malfags think SHAFT and NISIO will stop milking Monogatari and that Zoku is the last one. Take it as you will, but the series being so highly rated by a large audience must mean something. Also, go choke on a cock.

Is the season over already?

Yeah. It aired all at once.

It's shit because it doesn't understand that if it's the ninth Gintama season the only people who are going to be rating it are people who are huge Gintama seasons.

The only people who rated Owari are people who already sat through eight fucking Monogatari shows, of course they're going to rate it high.

It doesn't help they just have shit taste in general. Anyone who rates the Rebuilds over the original NGE should have their opinions ignored for all of eternity.

In short,

>MAL

I found your problem.

Jokes on you I watch it for Araragi. The girls are cool though, way more entertaining and likeable than your usual generic harem.

>ottermode manlet
>impressive
Better than you fat basement dwelling fucks.

>What's the appeal?

Hanekawa

Lolis

He's a bad man surrounded by enablers.

It's one of the few intellectual anime

Shaft is really innovative with their direction at least.
