Monogatari Series Watch Order

''So... What's the Correct Order?''

There are many monogatari watch orders circulating through the internet. But here I present you the order I think is best.

The Nisio Isin Order / The True Order

This is the most recommended and author intended order. It avoids any unnecessary and unwanted confusions. Production was also supposed to be in this order but some irregularities made a slight hotchpotch. 

1. Bakemonogatari
2. Kizumonogatari
3. Nisemonogatari
4. Nekomonogatari (Kuro)
5. Nekomonogatari (Shirou) [Monogatari Series : 2nd Season, episode 1-5]
6. Kabukimonogatari [Monogatari Series : 2nd Season, episode 6-9]
7. Hanamonogatari
8. Otorimonogatari [Monogatari Series : 2nd Season, episode 10-13]
9. Onimonogatari [Monogatari Series : 2nd Season, episode 14-17]
10. Koimonogatari [Monogatari Series : 2nd Season, episode 18-23]
11. Tsukimonogatari
12. Koyomimonogatari
13. Owarimonogatari
14. Owarimonogatari 2
15. Zoku Owarimonogatari
16. Monogatari Series Off Season
17. Monogatari Series Monster Season

The Release Order

This is just as the name suggests. The release order. Even though it can create slight confusions, it's not by a big margin. And following the release order should not harm the experience. Still, Nisio Isin Order is most recommended.

1. Bakemonogatari
2. Nisemonogatari
3. Nekomonogatari (Kuro)
4. Monogatari Series : Second Season
5. Hanamonogatari
6. Tsukimonogatari
7. Owarimonogatari
8. Kizumonogatari
9. Koyomimonogatari
10. Owarimonogatari II
11. Zoku Owarimonogatari
12. Monogatari Series Off and Monster Season

N.B.: There's also a chronological order, but I'll avoid that as that can only be used to rewatch the series.
