i bet Shoko is basically Ougi from Monogatari

but boring

You're going in the wrong direction Leg, but I digress

oh then sakuta is the apparition

It's just such a terrible ending, and it's anime original too

oh that was anime original?

explains why literally nothing happens

yep, skipped a volume

or... maybe a half volume

And then kind of adapted what will lead into the movie arc poorly

I think the LN maay have been worse though tbh

It actually just went to shit

I haven't seen what you are talking about but fuck anime original

100% trying to copy Bakemonogatari's tv ending

it felt so similar

but bake actually worked

I'm not even pissed about the identity death, it's the ruining everything else that sucks more

bake also ends with a random date in the middle of an unrelated arc

and then had 3 ONA episodes to finish the arc

Monogatari feels like it goes all over the place

because its not chronological

Yeah I mean it makes sense

Sometimes hard to follow

I'm also not sure why that series is as long as it is

I don't remember how far into the series I've watched

monogatari is long because it was supposed to end after Bake but then everyone loved it so he wrote another story with the characters

ah ok, that backstory makes more sense

Kind of like SAO

once you get past nisemonogatari only araragi's mother, gaen, ghost guy and ougi are introduced i believe

most of the cast is from the first two parts

I still can’t remember Japanese names

I should probably recognize most of those

ougi means fan

I remember ougi

Simple name

According to MAL I'm 8 episodes into Owari

It was the uh

Girl who was actually

Oh crud!

start over from the beginning

girl who was actually a boy who is actually a girl

I can’t spoil such a twist!

oh

ougi's identity is a pretty big part of the series

See

drives the second two "Seasons"

I knew not to spoil it

I remember that specific scene

How do you Westernize the name Ougi?

So I knew it must’ve been important

Luigi

lol, I like it

it means Fan and I think thats actually relevant at some point

Just make her name an anagram of the main characters

Who’s name I can’t remember

Koyomi, Hitagi, Karen, Tsukihi, Suruga...

I remember Karen

Because

Karen

brocon

Wait

Actually

Maybe I don’t

Or is that a sister

notice that the boyfriends never appear in the series, because Araragi is an unreliable narrator and doesn't want to acknowledge their existence

Kanbaru Suruga is the monkey girl

I remember Nadeko because I used to run an edited version of Nadeko bot for discord

Snail girl was named

Uh

Tsukihi is the bird girl

H

Nope

No idea

Hachi something

Other name starts with M

Hachimon

hachikuji

So close

Dang!

Oh mayoi
