The official website for the anime adaptation of the
light novels “ Monogatari Series ” announced that the
ninth episode of the series “ Monogatari Series: Off & Monster
Season ” will be delayed. Instead, a
compilation episode will air on September 7.
Unlike what was announced with “Oshi no Ko”, this
time no recognized leaker has claimed that there are production problems at
SHAFT studios , so it can be inferred that this suspension was already
scheduled within the schedule. Additionally, let us remember that this series
is broadcast directly on streaming platforms, so it may not be obligated to
broadcast episodes weekly.
In the light novels, “ Off Season ”
consists of four volumes (Orokamonogatari, Wazamonogatari, Nademonogatari, and
Musubimonogatari) and “ Monster Season ” consists of six
volumes (Shinobumonogatari, Yoimonogatari, Amarimonogatari, Ougimonogatari,
Shinomonogatari). The
synopses write:
- Monogatari Series: Off Season: Oddities
have existed throughout history, with some accounts dating back 600 years.
Stories about vampires, a monkey’s paw, shikigami, wanderers in the mists
of the mountains, killer felines, mermaids, wolves, golems, and most
terrifying of all, humans, have all been collected by so-called “Oddity
Specialists.” The purpose of these Specialists is to combat, regulate, and
most importantly, solve the many mysteries behind the circumstances that
create these Oddities. Monogatari Series: Off Season follows eight
protagonists—some Specialists, some Oddities themselves—as they interact
with the world of Aberrations, often falling into dangerous situations due
to their own antics.
- Monogatari Series: Monster
Season: “It’s a classy thing to go
around saving a girl who has nothing to do with you every now and then.”
The students of Naoetsu High School have been disappearing one after
another. When the girls’ mummified bodies are discovered, a very
distinctive mark is left on the back of their necks…? Koyomi Araragi, now
a first-year college student, sets off to track down the culprit!
On the other
hand, Nisio Isin began publishing the “ Monogatari
Series ” light novels in August 2005 through Kodansha , with
illustrations by Vofan . To date, the publisher has published
a total of twenty-nine volumes, covering a variety of sub-franchises whose
titles always end with the suffix “-monogatari”. Regarding the anime
adaptation, SHAFT studios has been in charge of multiple
installments since 2009.
Monogatari
Series Synopsis
This is a
story, a “phantasmagoria” of sorts, about scars that bind, monsters that lurk,
and fakes that deceive. Koyomi Araragi’s story begins through a fateful
encounter with the all-powerful blonde-haired, “hot-blooded, iron-blooded, and
cold-blooded” vampire, later introduced as Shinobu Oshino. Their tragic
encounter ends Araragi’s life as a human and his subsequent rebirth as a
vampire, a monster. However, this encounter is only the beginning of his
meddling in the supernatural. Koyomi’s noble personality leads him to become
even more involved in the lives of other people with supernatural afflictions.
This is his desperate attempt to return to a normal human life, in a paranormal
world filled with tragedy, suffering, and inhumanity.
