Monogatari Series

edited 2026-05-22

A complete watch and reading order for Nisio Isin's Monogatari Series — every anime cour from Bakemonogatari (2009) through the 2024 Off & Monster Season, the Kizumonogatari film trilogy and 2024 Koyomi Vamp recompilation, and all 25 light novels across the First, Second, Final, Off, Monster, and Family seasons. Addresses the franchise's defining question — broadcast order vs novel publication order vs in-universe chronological order — with four anime watch-order variants including the popular Kizu-last newcomer path.
