Monogatari is not only the title of a surreal anime series, it is also a Japanese word meaning "story". So the name serves its purpose well, as the Monogatari series is a collection of stories spanning multiple seasons, each named to match the events within them. Studio Shaft has handled all seasons quite brilliantly by portraying the series' unique brilliance.In terms of animation + dialogue, the Monogatari anime is surprisingly fast-paced. There are constantly changing framerates that often include short blocks of text, background character-free surroundings, and interactions that incorporate multiple references with witty banter. However, at the heart of this anime series is a profound story that is sure to captivate most who have seen it.
