Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu-hen

I've watched Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu-hen now. I hoped Shaft would put Monogatari on cinema screen and adapt the style accordingly to this format. They had the benefit of having almost 5 years to work on it I guess but I doubt they used all that time to actually work on it, the delay was probably something related to marketing again. It doesn't matter because I would say they even exceeded my expectations.

Katanagatari

Katanagatari is a light novel series written by NISIOISIN and received an anime adapation from White Fox. I've read most of the novels and watched the anime multiple times and will just share some thoughts on it.
Being a sword doesn't sound that complicated but one might still wonder how it is done.

Owarimonogatari Chuukan - Shinobu Mail

 

Owarimonogatari Chuukan is the book that is finally supposed to tell us about the event that occurred during Nekomonogatari: Shiro, explaining Araragi's and Kanbaru's absence in it.
Initially the book wasn't planned, but you can say that about almost every Monogatari book. But Nisio Isin apparently really didn't plan to write about this before, so it might have just some shenanigans attempt at first (like the teased fight in Katanagatari). However, because of how certain details have been set up very early, I doubt this was the case. Well, he might have planned out this story just to set up the details in the previous, simply for trolling reasons.
