Why does this anime have the most retarded fandom?
>>
>>282916621
Because only retarded people care about a "fandom" and participate in it.
Intelligent Monogatari viewers (of which there are many) prefer to watch it, appreciate it, and then move on to other pieces of quality media.
>>
Now this is a Shinobu thread.
>>
aside from the fact that I want to nail the shit out of Sengoku I always hated this show. its fanbase and everything about it. Literally. Sengoku is good. That's about it. Everything else about this series sucks ass

Like I'm not kidding. I wish this series never ever existed.

Urban fantasy that doesn't take itself seriously while having very believable and charming characters. Heavy on dialogues.
Play with anime clichés (the tsundere, the tomboy, the straight A student...) but execute them in a believable and interesting fashion.

The Real question is why Best Girl doesn't get more erotic fanart
>>
>>282919515
Kanbaru is somehow both popular and not at the same time. Certainly the family man's choice. Maybe her fans are keeping her pure in a way. She is surprisingly pure under all the sexual pretense herself after all.
>>
>>282916621
It's custom tailored to bait normalfags into thinking themselves intellectually superior because they understood a series that explains itself thrice - through monologue, dialogue and text, but never visuals - every time it wants to say something.
If you're new to this franchise, watch the toothbrush scene on youtube, then move on to the many greener pastures.

I kind of wonder where people are seeing this "obnoxious" Monogatari fanbase. There are plenty of shows where faggots try to act like it is so deep and whatever that don't get shit. I've never really seen that happen in a Monogatari thread. It could be obnoxious if the fanbase was the type that hated the otaku elements and insecurely tried to pretend it wasn't for otaku. But that, of course, never happens here. Even the fucking reddit doesn't do this shit. The only real difference with the reddit is that they sometimes entertain dumb shit like "it is all actually Araragi's delusions" or overstating how much his relationship with Hitagi means. Otherwise even that place is like a god when compared to the rest of that psued retard terrorist website. This pretty much dictates what the rest of the fanbase looks like everywhere else on the Internet. You either get the fully based chan types or the watered down but still fine reddit ones. Where is this annoying Monogatari fanbase? Is there some fandom that views itself as a rival or something and is projecting?
>>
>>282920860
Recent season focused on the loli trio's stories first when adapting the material so there is a recency bias.
In truth it's mostly half and half. The only lolis that get a ton of attention are Shinobu and Nadeko, with the second one being elevated by the anime and taking a life of her own. Snail and Doll are definitely more rare. On /a/ you will of course witness more loli worship than the rest of the places of the fandom. It's actually kinda cool that all of the girls have fans considering how late some of them appeared.
>>
>>282921004
Never seen it called obnoxious outside bait OPs like this to get a thread going or ragebait posts shouting "it's actually shit!"
I'm sure some people think it's shit but as far as a big consensus is concerned, no. If anything it's plenty popular for what it is.
>>
>>282921011
Second season (other than Hana and Neko Shiro) and Nise largely focused on them too. Bake was more half and half I suppose. You then have the cat story, that actually had a surprising amount of Shinobu. Owari mainly focused on Ougi. Ougi could almost be considered a loli with how flat and small she is, although she isn't really treated like one most of the time. Other than that Owari had some Snail, Shinobu however spends most of the time hagmaxxing. Tsukimonogatari was loli focused. Lastly, Zoku was mixed in a way but mainly focused on Yotsugi so it could be considered loli captured. The only really long parts without much loli focus are Owari 1, Hana, and Neko Shiro. The truth is, none of the girls really get much consistent focus other than Shinobu and, later on, Nadeko. Even Hitagi, who eventually marries Araragi, ends up not being with him most of the time (it seems deliberate on Nisio's part too).

>Fandom
The absolute state of /a/
>>
>>282921270
I also forgot that Shinobu Mail was in Owari 1. That was some pretty good loli content. Owari 1 is half and half.
>>
>>282921316
I don't agree with how you label everything as loli focused or not just because a character appears. Second season traces the exact same steps as Bake with each arc devoted to a girl even though others can of course make an appearance. I will agree that Shinobu is probably the one that gets a ton of attention.

Most likely the patients are the fools who were caught while the big brains still run free.

This study remind me of this sexuality studdy with 50+ mostly 30 year old childless and jobless pedos that got inflated into "look its normal to like 13 year old girls!" by some morons.
>>
>>282920601
Even worse if they think the fanservice is ironic/social commentary/a deconstruction as if Monogatari isn't one of the most sincere anime in existence and wears its lack of shame on its sleeve. Seriously, people see Shaft's direction and think the series is some arthouse bullshit when it's extremely down to earth.
>>
>>282923471
I think many also don't realize just how much fanservice stuff Monogatari helped popularize. Shaft and Nisio are very far up the culture stream.

so you are a childless jobless 30+ old man... becouse that is the current data we have who would like 13 year old girls.

What are some details in Monogatari that many don't talk about but have very big implications?
>>
>>282928605
panty exposure and how open you are with your feelings with other people

>>282930888
Monogatari is definitely a strong example of how one's life can be better if they're simply honest with oneself and others. While Araragi does the whole denial gag, his actions are still very honest. Everytime he is honest it typically ends up working out for him. All rooting from the beginning when he had multiple consequential moments of honesty in Kizu. It also shows the consequences of not being open and being dishonest. Him not being upfront with Hanekawa causes her to have multiple episodes and then eventually leave. Him not being honest with Nadeko causes her to kami out and threaten to destroy everything he loved (Nadeko herself also had issues because she wasn't being honest with herself). Ougi is the ultimate culmination of this, a being that initially comes off creepy but only speaks truths. One that ultimately ends up helping others and growing on those she is with. At first, being honest about some things may seem or feel creepy or weird. But ultimately, honesty will gain you trust and respect, which can really help you out in life. You could really find even more ways this theme is present in Monogatari. Don't let yourself become a mystery.
>>
>>282916767
It's like a watered down version of Homestuck or something.
>>
>>282916767
Its main appeal is imo the art and unique storylines. It is very captivating to watch, and the story is always interesting (even if it seems really stupid at first, Nisio always pulls it off). The fanservice is also really great and regular. Not to mention the quality is consistent and always high. The avant-garde touch to it also adds a lot of intrigue, it is filled with fun gags and styles. Shaft also is very amazing with music, everything has unique music to it and most sound great. It is the biggest thing in Japan for a reason. If you like the designs, you are pretty much sure to like the show.

Hmmmm..
>The subjects were 832 adult male patients referred to a specialty clinic for evaluation of their sexual behavior.
>The patients' erotic preferences for prepubescent, pubescent, or adult partners were assessed with phallometric testing.
>The results showed that the relations between pedophilia and lower IQ, lesser education, and increased rates of non-right-handedness were the same in homogeneous groups referred by lawyers or parole and probation officers as they were in a heterogeneous group referred by a miscellany of other sources
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735899000136
>The problem of faking
>Perhaps the main threat to phallometric assessments concerns the fact that the ability to fake sexual response patterns has been demonstrated for both sexual offenders and nonoffenders (Murphy & Barbaree, 1994). Several studies have shown that normal subjects can significantly inhibit their arousal by using mental activities to distract themselves, despite a clear indication that they were attending to the stimuli Henson & Rubin 1971, Laws & Rubin 1969. Similarly, numerous studies have shown.
I'm thinking we should take anyone who does penis inspection as a way to out pedophiles too seriously.
What this really shows is that people how aren't particularly intelligent are really awful at pretending not to be a pedophile.
Makes it real clear these doctors were pushing for a result rather than looking for any useful data.

Lolis get filled with a desire to touch muscles when they see them. While it wouldn't make you absolutely shredded, I think one could achieve some pretty good muscle definition if they regularly did a nice routine of home exercises.

There are four types of Monogatari fans:
>ironic fans who came for the toothbrush scene and may or may not have even bothered to watch the show before putting it on their favorites list
>pseudo-intellectuals who write essays on the symbolism of the Japanese flags that flash on-screen for a moment in Kizumonogatari
>semi-normal people who missed important plot points and walked away confused, but enjoyed what they did understand
>coomers (not to be confused with the first type, who often pretend to be coomers because it's funny)
>>
>>282939531
I watched this back in 2009 as type 3 up until Owari S1. Life got in the way so I picked it up again from the beginning around the time Zoku ended. At that time I was leaning more towards type 2.
Decided to watch it again right before Off&Monster as more of a type 2.
Nowadays I sometimes watch people react to it (shame me) in the hopes of noticing little nuggets of symbolism, parallers, characterization etc I missed.
Not much of a coomer but definitely on the loser who will shed tears for their waifu scale.

>>
>>282932160
Good job, but I suggest using soulseek instead.
>>
>>282939531
It's important to note that pseudo-intellectuals and coomers are not mutually exclusive categories as evidenced by me.
