Review of Zoku Owarimonogatari

*THIS REVIEW DOES NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS* The monogatari series has always delivered on everything: action, comedy, shock; it pretty much has everything you could ever ask for. You would think that after 11 TV shows that it would drop in quality but i would actually say that the last few shows (including this one) are better than Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari on certain aspects. STORY: The story of the monogatari series is like a big sea and the different stories are like rivers flowing into it, slowly making it bigger and more beautiful. Long story short, the story is an amazing because it sets the stage for the different charactersto be different and express themselves. But ,like some of the characters say: "This is a silly premise". That is true, we have seen the character going into a (basically) opposite dimension or world before, but it always seem to happen in something like specials because everyone knows its a pretty silly premise but that is the exact reason Zoku Owarimonogatari can use it in a serious way to actually reaveal stuff about the story. In my opinion the concept is a great one and it fits with the Monogatari series but its not the most creative thing ever.
8/10

ART:

Im gonna keep it short here: It's the Monogatari series art (The SHAFT art if you will) that we know and love. Some people might say that the art hasnt changed for 14 years and see that as a bad thing but when you have your own style i dont see a reason to change it.
9/10

SOUND:

This is where the recent entries in the Monogatari series have dropped the ball recently in my opinion. It might be because over the years this series has given us some of the best OP's and music in general so i might have rally high expectations but the Zoku Owarimonogatari OP is bad and the music is so loud sometimes that it covers the dilogue. What saves the sound, ironically enough is the amazing dialogue that has become an big part of this show. I applaud the voice actors for their amazing work.
6/10

CHARACTERS:

I am going to keep it short again: I'ts the Monogatari series, of course the characters are amazing, they pretty much are the most entertaining thing about the show, but even more so now because the all are exaggerated versions of themselves so we (kinda) get to see a new side of all of them. (And we also get introduced to a new character that we have been waiting
to see for a very long time)
10/10

ENJOYMENT:

This is another part of the Monogatari series that has kinda declined. Of course the show has funny moments (as always) but in a Monogatari style move 70% of the show it just characters talking to each other and 20% of that is just dialogue filter (for example araragi meeting Shinobu was kinda useless since she tells him the exact same thing Black Hanekawa tells him).
I think the ending was really cute and i loved it (HITAGI BEST GIRL, FIGHT ME)
7/10

In conclusion this was just a standard Monogatari series entry, it isnt as good as Owarimonogatari season 1 and 2 or The monogatari series season 2, but it is better than Koyomimonogatari and Nisemonogatari. I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON.

OVERALL RATING: 8/10
