Owarimonogatari TV Anime Series Hits Japanese TV In October

Written By Samantha Ferreira

It seems that the Monogatari Series is entering its final chapter.

Well, kind of.

Recently, a display at Tokyo’s Shosen Book Tower store began advertising an anime adaptation of NisiOisin’s Owarimonogatari. The three-volume title will be presented as a TV series, which will hit Japanese airwaves in October.

Last week, animator Hiroki Kazui listed the series in her work history, noting that she had contributed to the title this year. Specifically, Kazui indicated that she created storyboards for Monogatari Series Final Season Owarimonogatari.

In addition, earlier today, Monogatari fans received a few festive hints regarding the long-delayed Kizumongatari film. Bakemonogatari Series Director Tatsuya Oishi, along with other members of SHAFT, left tanzaku (small paper strips, onto which people write their wishes) on bamboo plants in Akihabara Station. Oishi’s message, specifically, reads “Fighting fiercely.”

Kizumonogatari was originally scheduled to hit Japanese theaters in 2012. Oishi was originally supposed to direct the feature.

The Takarazuka Revue, Girl Princes, and Their Influences on Modern Yuri

While the predominantly male owners and showrunners of the Takarazuka Revue as well as the men running the manga publishing industry may seek to downplay, bury, or even deny lesbian relationships, girls’ love, and any notion of gender being challenged, it is both our right and our duty as fans – if not of yuri, then of anime and manga in general – to expose these histories and lift them up.
