3 cour! 3 cour! 3 cour! Truthfully I wanted another grand reveal like what Nisemonogatari had last year. I'm talking about seiyu interviews, PVs, and all the jazz. If this whole season is project 5 of Nisio anime project and the last season is project 6 then we still have 3 other projects before the 10th original project. |

I think you are setting yourself up for major disappointment.
They had said before that they weren't counting the Kuro novel (even if it's included in this montage now), so this collection may very well count for two or more. It all depends on the way they were counting things at the time they made the tentative statement. In any case, like all vague comments, it shouldn't be taken as gospel; it's always subject to change.

I have to agree with Omimon though even if it's a wishful thinking. 3 cour sounds like better pacing for 5 Monogatari books eventhough I haven't read latter novels, but I will settle with 2 cour because really, do we have any choice in the matter? Things could turn out far worse than what we got here if other studio besides Shaft gets to adapt Monogatari Series. For me at least, it's better to look at glass as half full than half empty. Frankly speaking, I do hope Shaft could pull off the same thing as Bake and have extra episodes on webcast. Last edited by teja208; 2012-04-28 at 11:41. |

Personally I still think the Monogatari series could be better adapted with movies or at least ovas. Splitting a book in 20 minutes segments may ruin the pace of the story. Well, at least I still have high hopes for Kizumonogatari Quote:

I think it's because they know the magic won't last forever and just continuing to do season after season will take forever. There's a marked trend that subsequent seasons almost always suffer from "sales rot" regardless of perceived quality (since it isn't the "new shiny" any more). Plus, even the two-cour show would leave the last set of novels, which they could either do as another TV show or perhaps three movies. Although it's probably tempting at this point to think they can keep on milking the franchise forever, I can see why they feel it's safer to keep the ball rolling rather quickly at this point.

Isn't Nisemonogatari doing better than Bake in sales already though?
You'd think the wisest move if they want to keep public awareness of the franchise would be to do three cours but air one cour at a time with breaks. |

Nah, Bakemonogatari will end up with higher sales, despite the first week comparison. There was a supply constraint when Bakemonogatari first came out that was resolved over the subsequent weeks, so it took longer to get to its total (and the constrained supply may have even helped demand in a way). In any case, the new series will likely end up with about a 15-20% drop, which is rather common for sequels. It's nothing the producers will be at all worried about, of course, since it's still likely to be the best-selling TV anime of the year.

Nise is regarded as the weakest link in the franchise, Kizu is considered one of the best if not the best.... Zen's novels are quite strong too. |

I don't know anything about the novels, and this is a spoiler-free thread so can't be discussed in detail, but I suppose one benefit/possibility of adapting a whole bunch of novels in a single show would be (I suppose) that they could tweak the chronology if they want to. For example, they could put things in order rather than jumping around. In that sense, it could make sense to see them as a "whole" rather than as individual parts. ...Then again, like I said, I don't know the novels so maybe that doesn't make sense.
