Spoilers for the the movie and bakemonogatari This movie is definitely a step up from the first film. As it was going on I knew more of what was going on and enjoyed it. After watching bakemonogatari and hearing about all the stuff that happened between Hanekawa and Araragi this movie really helps me understand more about why she fell for him and how. The story was good and added to the first part well and the characters were cool and enjoyable to watch plus the animation is always great with monogatari. Over all this movie is definitely worth watching and was so good that iteven made the first movie worth watching as well.
