og bakemonogatari isnt that spectacular imo, its good stuff but it doesnt have the established characters to work off of since obvs. it's establishing most of the cast

kaiki isnt even in it!!

and also kanbaru just gets to be wacky monkey girl instead of the best character in the show which she is later
I've only seen Bake and Kizu so they idea there's a lot more characters that all grow and change sounds bonkers to me somehow

im gonna fix that but monogatari ended after the date to look at the stars with hitagi imo

you should watch the nekomonogatari arcs

bakemono's ending is cool for bakemono but so much of what happens after that elevates it so much

i wouldn't want monogatari to end there because then kanbaru would never get to play basketball with a ghost lesbian

anime is not good

Knorth posted:

Get this

you watch them in order of when they came out

to be fair this would mess you up in a couple of niche cases like the second yozukura quartet tv series that skips its middle chunk because they did that bit in an earlier ova

edit:

dogsicle posted:

or they're talking about yozakura quartet, where it's just "watch this ova halfway through the series because they blatantly skip that material"

this is what get for skipping posts

the ending of hanamonogatari being kanbaru just standing and thinking "poo poo i should've kissed my cute lesbian ghost basketball rival" is the most relatable moment in monogatari history

that sounds better and more relatable than mine, which was the time it took araragi three movies to remember that vampires kill people because he sat in a big older woman's lap

I only watched the first season of Monowhatsits like a hundred years ago when it first aired and it was amazing, but I kept putting off watching the rest and now you're telling me there's basketball lesbians??? How did I miss this extremely important fact?

A! Just one! Now there are two of them!

Seriously though I knew nothing about the series after the first season, this is literally the only discussion of it I've ever seen and I'm pleasantly surprised.

:0 there was always a monkey handed basketball lesbian in it.

Can I get any gay anime recommendation but like guys with guys gay. I'm not aware of too many tbh. I've watched Yuri on Ice.

well she's kanbaru's ex-girlfriend who only appears for that specific arc

but it's also one of the best arcs in the entire show and if the idea of kanbaru getting to be the lead sounds cool, well, a lot of the arcs after nisemonogatari are that but with other characters

not a lot of explicitly gay stuff, yuri or yaoi, gets made into anime, and in terms of yaoi most of what gets adapted is the stuff aimed at fujos who want porn and shock value and not really realistic character dynamics. so theres a reason that guy mentioned manga

like you gotta be able to buy into explicit seme/uke dynamics to be able to go for 90% of the yaoi anime that exists

I'm about to rec something I haven't watched (yet) because I love the manga it's based on and have watched the trailer like 8 times and own the blu ray (please don't ask me why I have not watched this yet)

idk if it'll be what you're looking for but it's probably the most high quality BL thing in existence right now

Late to respond, but yeah, Monogatari S2 is pretty good. I personally liked a couple of arcs even more than Bake and the rest somewhat less, but that might just have been me getting older.

mediocre mecha action, rapey dynamics (main character has a crush on a guy, secondary more serious girl nearly rapes her in response to learning this, big yikes), ends with the secondary girl becoming evil and vindictive for main character's 'own sake' which is just an abusive relationship straight up, also the manga ends with them being reincarnated as sisters rofl. the anime at least just makes it a regular reincarnation

theres a couple of good things in it, i like the idea of them being forced to fight each other by forces outside their control but their love being more powerful than that, but it's hard to buy into that love for fairly obvious reasons, and its generally just not a good show
