The victory lap analogy is good, because it doesn't really matter - the series already carved its place into anime history. It's a good change of pace, and as such does add to previous works in the series.Īs I mentioned earlier, Koyomimonogatari is the slice of life wrapping up of the 'main' series. but this is about as close to slice of life as the *monogatari series has achieved.

There's still some fan service and humor to lighten the mood. It's still by the numbers from a form and function perspective. Koyomimonogatari's chapters are shorter and each stands on its own, which has already been done in the second season. The added value is nearly entirely given by the earlier installments. Artistically, this is perhaps the most mundane of the *monogatari series. The stories in and of themselves are not special.

Each chapter is about a different girl, and her relationship with the protagonist. Still, the question remains, once you remove the meta-value, the place of Koyomimonogatari in the series, does it stand on its own? Not really. Or maybe Koyomimonogatari is just the collection of stories too mundane for the regular series. The settings in already trod upon time frames lend credence to the fact that the characters weren't really dealing with the supernatural at all, they are just disturbed. While in the past, it has leaned more towards the supernatural, here it is back towards the mundane. This is a reblurring of the lines between the supernatural and psychology, the dual-interpretation behind the series. There are stories which are mildly supernatural in nature, but leaning more towards the mystery side of things. The visuals, as usual, are stylistic and spectacular, just as we'd come to expect from the series. but it does feel more like a victory lap for a series that's wrapped up. It's not straight up ecchi nonsense with a few moments of cool. Is the *monogatari series finally played out? Koyomimonogatari kinda feels like it.
