Monogatari Series watch order
Every Monogatari Series season, film and special in the order it was released: 17 entries (7 seasons, 4 films and 6 specials and OVAs), 2009 to 2026. The seasons add up to 96 episodes.
Updated , when release dates were last checked.
Start with Bakemonogatari and keep to release order. The series is written to be watched the way it came out, and later entries assume you've seen the earlier ones.
Other orders
Story order starts with the Kizumonogatari films, then Nekomonogatari (Black), then Bakemonogatari. Some fans like it for a rewatch, but on a first watch it gives up the way the story is told. Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp (2024) re-edits the three Kizumonogatari films into one; watch either.
