I thought the next series was about how Araragi became a vampire? AFAIK Nekomonogatari is about Tsubasa, hence the word cat in the title, Kanbaru should get her own show as well.Originally Posted by shadowfox
I wish everyone watched Monogatari it is AMAZING!

Kanbaru's arc wasn't part of Monogatari Second Season, which contained the following arcs:
Nekomonogatari (Shiro) - Tsubasa
Kabukimonogatari - Mayoi
Otorimonogatari - Nadeko
Onimonogatari - Shinobu, and finally
Koimonogatari - Hitagi
Kanbaru's arc, Hanamonogatari, should technically have come before Nadeko's, but it is being aired seperately as a 5-episode series. As far as I know all 5 of them are being released simultaneously on August 16, after being delayed (original air date was supposed to be May 31 onwards).
So never fear, Kanbaru is getting her bit. Not sure why they shuffled it around like that though.
As for Koyomi's story - the prequel to everything - that's Kizumonogatari, and it was supposed to come out as a feature-length episode (a movie) in the same way as Nekomonogatari (Kuro). I have no idea what happened to that plan. I mean ... it was first announced in 2010, at one point scheduled to release in 2012 ... and then ... silence.
Maybe I should just take my copy of the LN and start translating it. Hopefully by the time the movie actually comes out, I'll have the first line translated![]()
So they decided to make various seasons and split all the stories into them, which involved all the characters, that makes it a bit confusing, but with your help I seem to understand it better now.
Koyomi's arc is probably what I am anticipating the most! Every few episodes there is a ever so slight hint at his past as a vampire but nothing is really revealed.
Well ... each of the arcs is based on one particular novel - they just combined all of them into one season. The thing is, none of the stories are exactly chronological ... there's a lot of overlap between them even though they are technically standalone stories - that's why sometimes you'd find reference to other events as well that didn't immediately make sense.
At risk of spoilers ... I'll present this link - they organised all the events of all the novels currently in print in chronological order. Click at your own risk though - as I said ... it's full of spoilers.
And even with that I'm kitten-confused.
