The Return of the Monogatari Series: Off Monster Season
A New Ending Theme by YOASOBI
First, let's talk about the ending theme music. The song is created by YOASOBI, who gained fame with the hit song "Idol." While there are many negative opinions online claiming that Monogatari fans can't appreciate YOASOBI's music and that YOASOBI don't match Monogatari series, but these opinions are completely fuck.
If you liked "Idol," you'll appreciate this song just as much. After watching all of Nadeko Monogatari, I truly understood the depth and meaning behind this song. The lyrics include phrases like "閑話休題" (kanwa kyuudai) and "ピースピース" (peace peace), which bring back fond memories for fans of Ononoki-chan and Hachikuji. However, my favorite character is Oshino Shinobu, and the melody of this song, combined with the ending animation, captures Shaft's signature style perfectly.
Don’t Skip the Ending Song
The ending theme, titled "[Undead]," is not just a song but an essential part of the Monogatari experience. So, when you watch the new season, don't skip the ending—immerse yourself in it and enjoy every moment. You can find the links to the story series below.
