Review of Zoku Owarimonogatari

Even though the main story of this series have come to an conclusion nisioisin managed to write a story on par with his previous best works in my opinion. I will never be able to give any of the monogatari seasons/movies a complete 5/5 because of the amount of sexualisation and weird stuff that is totally unnecessary and only makes the story for some unbearable to watch, I don't have a huge problem with it in this movie as it was mostly in the beginning and did not ruin the big moments or conclusions like it did with a certain other arc of the series. Iwon't either be going into the story or how the writing in this is as I think that one of the most enjoyable parts is to experience this for yourself and form your own opinions.

I will probably never get tired from watching any of the monogatari series even with this series totally different approuch of story telling. The monogatari series is very heavy on words and have little to no actions in it. This might turn some people off from watching it if they already did not get turned off from the weird stuff in it. I can see why some people might get turned off from the way they present the story but I just think that this shows how good of and writer that nisioisin truely is if he can keep our attention through just dialogue.

Dialogue is obviously not the only contributing factor to why this show manages to keep the viewers attention on the screen without being bored but I think it really shows that you don't always need "show not tell" when it comes to crafting an intriguing story.

One of the big contributing factors to why this show is able to keep us so engaged besides the writing is because of the studio behind this, SHAFT. With this series being very dialogue heavy SHAFT had a lot of freedom on how they wanted to animate this and the way they went and did it is like no other series and makes this stand out compared to all other animated movies/series. The music and voice acting is also on point and there is a lot to break down in the dialogues.

4,5/5 This could really have been a 5/5 if it wasn't for the sexualisation, I had no other gripes with this movie, one of the best from the monogatari series. I do hope we get more of the off stories and all that animated as I need more of this.
