>his entire strategy is getting beaten to 1%HP so many times and for so long that the girl he is fighting feels sorry for him or something accidentally happens and lets him win ????
this works in real life too by the way
>>287790833>1% HPHe never even gets low HP, he just abuses the level differential and his vampiric passive HP regen and waits for the enemy (female) to run out of PP.
>>287790896no it doesn't
>>287790833The gimmick is easier to understand in the LN, but basically he goes into every fight with a strategy that he thought up using human reasoning and it fails so he has to improvise by thinking like a vampire.
>>287790833I never saw the series as anything relating to action or fighting only coom
>>287790833The opposite happened though. He’s so innately high level by virtue of being sired by the strongest vampire in the world he wins his fights by just flailing around and throwing baseballs.
>>287792852>literally a cheat skill harem ecchi series with loli pantyshots>praised as fine art by animation connoisseurs How does he do it
>>287790833If you mean the final fight, no, that's not what happens.
>>287792866as it turns out most animation connoisseurs have shit taste
>>287795001What would Roger Ebert think about Monogatari
This show has some of the hottest characters yet I refuse to watch it over how retarded and ugly this faggot MC is,same goes with to aru majutsu index
>>287795153Araragi isn't ugly at all in Kizu. You're just blind or something. Or maybe you want all anime MC to look like bara bait kek
>>287790833Zoom-zooms really think the fights in Monogatari are what's important? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Zoomers "watch" anime by having it on in the background as they play vidya or scrooooll their phones. The only times they pay attention are "hype moments and aura"
>>287795172I don't care what he looks like really,every clip of of him I see pisses me off,how do you people consume this shit
>>287795299Am 31,do tell what's so great about monogatari in your own words
>>287795437NTA, but I like shows with great dialog. I was introduced to Monogatari from a clip of Senjougahara psychoanalyzing Hanekawa based on her cooking and was hooked by how good the dialog was. The Monogatari anime is basically a slideshow of an audiobook, but the book is really well written. So, maybe not a great anime by some standards, but great characters and writing.
>>287791075>enemy (female)>PPfemales don't have PP
>>287796465Saying it’s a slideshow is disservice to how great Akiyuki Shinbou is at directing. Kanatagatari was written by the same author but wasn’t even half as popular or highly regarded as Monogatari. The visual direction in Monogatari has more depth than you think.
>>287796627No no, don't get me wrong. Monogatari is one of my favorite show because of the art direction. It's a huge influence on my own art. But it really is outside the norm of anime and I think that's why low-brows say things like "this anime is just words, words, words" and "why all the words on the screen?"
>>287792866He loses that cheat skill later on
>>287790833>his strategy works every single time, and also wins over the hearts and minds of his opponents time and time againJealousy is an unsightly look, anon.
dose
Do a handstand and then we'll talk fatass
>>287790833Its pointed out after nearly every fight he's in that him choosing to fight at all was a horrible idea and the problem could've been solved better without him doing that.
>>287791085they won didn't they? the group is still functional, the people are still there. it's a survival strategy not a tactical or military victory.
>>287790833Lmao he fights girls?
>>287792765It has some rare action scenes that are very nice but it doesn't bother with powerlevels or typical shonen tropes at all. It's also more dialogue and reading behind the characters than coom. Coom is just the visual flair while they talk.
>>287798509yeah I know, just saying that action wasn't my highest priority in regards to the series
>>287798473He fights and defeats one guy in a later season
>>287796480They doI give it to them
>>287796820It all makes sense when you realize most zoomers stuggle to read
>>287798473Not really. He lets girls wail on him until they tire themselves out cause his healing factor is so strong it has no effect on him
>>287799147Millennials were saying this long before zoomers ever found Monogatari, turn your brain on for once.
>>287795437anime are fun because they let you explore different fantasies that you can't experience in real life. some of them are about piloting giant robots or being a hero in a fantasy world. bakemonogatari is about being able to talk to girls without making a fool of yourself or getting accused of sexual harassment. if that doesn't sound like a fantasy to you then you are too much of a normalfag to understand.
>>287791025What is happening there?
>>287799262It's a nightmare he's having about going in for a kiss but vampire instincts take over and he rips her face off.
>>287799460It's a metaphor for a common psychosexual fear among males
>>287795153rararararagi is a good mc and i'm tired of pretending otherwise
>>287799523I never had anything like that.
>>287799643You're abnormal
>>287796627Shaft and Kosaki even made Fate watchable.
>>287799460>average catfag
Would any of you guys actually date Crab?
>>287799875What happens to me if I say no?
>>287799875Would anyone not?
>>287799875Only long enough to accept Kanbaru's offer
don't make me rewatch kizu againit's just too good
>>287799955I love this reddish evening colour palette they used a lot in bake, such a shame it doesn't appear as much later on, except for kizu which is full of it (and that's a good thing)
>>287799955Smart
Zoomers are so retarded it's unreal. Even monogatari threads are awful now. It's over
>>287799875No.
>>287792308Example?
>>287799907I wouldn't. I'm too retarded to understand how her emotions work.
>>287800340xhellenials are all 40 bro it's fucking over
>>287800509I'm too retarded to understand how female emotions in general. I might be either a schizo or a psycho.
>>28779987515 years ago maybe. I'm too old for any of that proper relationship stuff she wants. She's still miles ahead of any real woman because she's not that demanding and faithful.
>>287800536Fuck, I meant how female emotions work in general.
>>287799875I'd rather date Bat.
>>287800536>>287800551Women scare me. I don't fuck with them. I'm not gay, though, so sex is just off the table for me.
People often make fun of the simplified and stylized background art in Monogatari but I've always thought they made them look too good in terms of shot composition and aesthetic 9 times out of 10 to really come off cheap.
Isn't his strategy just to let shinobu deal with it
>>287799875Probably not. She expects long term commitment right off the bat and I'm too autistic for that.
>>287799875>her arc's ED song is about a girl who couldn't tell the boy she liked that she liked him even when the perfect opportunity to do so was there>she tells Araragi that she likes him two episodes into the animeWhat did Shaft mean by this?
>>287799875I wouldn't since I'd probably ignore her for long periods of time, not on purpose, mind you, but because my autism causes me to hyper fixate on things, like medieval weaponry to near-death experiences.
Ahem. Sex with every gatari girl, including the hags
>>287801829Ahem, ESPECIALLY the hags.
>>287791085>>287797527worked in vietnam and twice in afghanistan too
>>287801082As he should.
>>287801829Except Bird and Snek, they can sit on cuck chairs and watch.
>>287802198Shit, sorry, wrong thread.
>>287796465besides that it looks amazing and has enormous aesthetic appeal, as expected of anything directed by shinbo (I just watched the soultaker and it is so fucking shinbo it's amazing)two characters can just be walking and talking and the backgrounds will shift and change into a dozen different scenes each worthy of being your wallpaper
>>287799875Shes great if you can stand her.>>287799955Creampieing kanbaru is the end goal
>>287797426I love her so fucking much
>>287799875see it's not about what any of us would doif crab decided she wanted me I wouldn't really be able to say no
No matter which girl you choose, Birb would mount you at night anyway.
>>287801829even this hag?
>>287801829This guy breeds
>>287795299Shut the fuck up Toady.
>>287802359the hat stays on
>>287802359She manages to be the least sexual female somehow. Her sister completely mogs her, even when she is a walking red flag.
>>287795403NTA but I feel the same way about Watanare, just come to terms with your irrational hatred and realize you're in the minority, it's not meant for you, people are subhuman sloppafeeders, etc. whatever cope you are able to come up with
>>287790833>can actually remain an all powerful never aging vampire>throws it all away to be a boring human
>>287795437You're a worthless person. Even if i don't believe a word of it it's really easy to write down an essay of what's great about the monogatari free style. If you can't then you have no business watching or reading it. You're like a chimpanzee reading nuclear fusion papers.
>>287796465the narratives the author comes up with are straight garbage. they're worse than retarded because they're sophisticated enough to occupy my brain as I come up with a proper refutation (which I always successfully do), which is much less fun than just laughing at the TV as the soapbox presents itself, which keeps me in the flow as I don't have to pause constantly for my hatewatching.I hate pseud shit but kizu is the only good monogatari in my mind.
>>287803836the japs' cuck fetish manifests in a myriad of mysterious ways
>>287803993Is this your morning pep speech you give to the mirror
>>287803836He didn't want to eat people
>>287804430If you're 31 and can't mentally process the monogatari series while it's going before your eyes you should do something else, start baking or sweep the streets or something whatever you subhumans really enjoy doing.
>>287804691How much do you weigh
>>28780471884.7kg
>>287800435In the first duel, he flops while approaching it from the standpoint of a human who is scared of this huge sword wielding maniac, but he instantly wins as soon as he taps into his vampire nature to start throwing things that a human couldn't. The second duel is also focused around the strengths and weaknesses of vampires, which Araragi isn't able to grasp until Hanekawa intervenes, after which he deploys a specific counter by understanding more about vampires as being different from humans. The third duel is the ultimate example where he starts out going full power having (mostly) accepted that he's not a human at that point (the eating people revelation is still too much for him to confront). In the LN he tries to get inspiration from battle and sports manga, but his breakthroughs only occur when he stops thinking like a human and starts thinking like a vampire.The entire thing is a conceit that parallels his inability to truly treat Kissshot as a vampire until confronted with the undeniable reality that saving a vampire's life means humans will die. It's all a big clue pointing toward the fundamental conflict in the story.
Also, the order of the opponents is an inversion of Araragi's position. While he's still feeling the most human, he faces a full vampire. Then a half vampire. Then he faces a human after (mostly) accepting his vampire state as he demonstrates by immediately deploying an overwhelming, inhuman power. There are complicating factors that reflect on the rest of the theming, for instance both the vampiric duelists abide by the rules and aren't interested in killing unnecessarily, but the human among the three is the most underhanded and ready to kill.
>>287805845Yeah, Dramaturgy is a pure professional who bows out before even fully losing because theres no point fighting for money he wont get. Episode runs on personal disgust for vampires and toys with araragi but lacks a real killer instinct.Guillotine Cutter is the one running on win-at-all-costs hatred and is the only one to attempt to attack a second time even after losing to araragi, completely irrationally, since by all measures araragi and shinobou should be even stronger than after his first loss. In a sense, its a setup for the difference between humans and oddities that we see for the rest of the series. Oddities are bound to their nature and the rules that govern their nature, which to an extent makes them easy to reason and deal with. Humans are the ones shown to lie, act irrationally, harbor grudges, and cause almost all of the actual problems in the series, with oddities either being tools used to cause problems by humans, or natural reactions to humans invoking them or breaking their rules.
>>287803836I mean he didnt really throw anything away, he can choose to be a vampire again whenever he wants, and would revert back to his healthiest, fittest shape immediately if he did. Assuming hes not hit by a bus (at which point shinobou would probably find a way to bring him back anyhow) theres really no downside to living as a human when you have a vampire devoted to you who would happily turn you again whenever.
Reminder the author is a tranny and had the super vampire die from fucking covid

>>287804318>araragi is le cuckshut up, it got revealed all too well that kaiki is the real cuck
>>287807952If Nishio had any balls he'd write Kaiki banging Snake
>>287807994Kaiki wouldnt be interested in that seeing as snake is not kanbaru’s mom. Now, snake could have raped him in Koimonogatari and I’d have no plot grievances with that, but kaiki would not willingly do such a thing.
