 Aniplex announced an anime adaptation for NisiOisiN's Monogatari Series: Off Season and Monogatari Series: Monster Season light novel on Thursday. The production company also opened an official website, revealing the main staff a key visual (pictured). The anime series, titled Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season, is being produced this year.Staff Chief Director: Akiyuki Shinbou (Monogatari Series: Second Season) Director: Midori Yoshizawa (Magia Record: Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica Gaiden 2nd Season - Kakusei Zenya assistant director) Series Composition: Fuyashi Tou (Bakemonogatari), Akiyuki Shinbou Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Akio Watanabe (Owarimonogatari) Studio: Shaft The Off Season consists of four volumes—Orokamonogatari, Wazamonogatari, Nademonogatari, and Musubimonogatari—published between October 2015 and January 2017. The first two volumes contain arcs that are not chronologically sequenced. Instead, each arc has a different narrator and tells its own story, which is not directly related to the other arcs in the novel but follows a common theme. The Monster Season consists of six volumes—Shinobumonogatari, Yoimonogatari, Amarimonogatari, Ougimonogatari, and two-part Shinomonogatari—published between July 2017 and August 2021. Monster Season follows the events after the Monogatari Series: Final Season—published in six volumes from September 2012 to September 2014. NisiOisiN launched Monogatari Series: Family Season—sequel to Monster Season—with the Ikusamonogatari volume in May 2023. The second volume, Tsugimonogatari, is currently in the works. The latest anime adaptation in the Monogatari Series—Zoku Owarimonogatari—premiered in theaters in November 2018 and later on television in six episodes in May 2019, adapting the Koyomi Reverse arc. Zoku Owarimonogatari marked the last installment of the Final Season novel series. The first anime adaptation of the Final Season—Tsukimonogatari—aired in Fall 2014. Owarimonogatari, covering the third and fourth volume, followed in Fall 2015. Koyomimonogatari, adapting the second volume, streamed as a 12-episode net anime on its titular smartphone application from January to March in 2016. Owarimonogatari 2nd Season aired as a two-day special on August 12 and August 13 in 2017, adapting the Mayoi Hell, Hitagi Rendezvous, and Ougi Dark arcs from the fifth volume. Synopsis After graduating from high school, the story of Koyomi Araragi came to an end. This time, it truly ended. However, the story of the girls who were saved by Araragi was not over. It is a prequel, or perhaps a sequel to their struggles in youth.

| @MegamiRem Assuming production has just recently started or has started in the past couple of months, then it's possible to have a potential 12 episode anime done in the next 9 months |

| @MegamiRem Vindstot said: is being produced this year. also 2024年制作決定 directly from their X account . So given how generally slow they are , doesn't mean that we are not gonna wait years like the season 3 of one punch man or Fire Force Season 3 for example. |
| Mayoi my beloved, how I've missed you We are so back!!!  |
| Better late than never |

| It's offical now, I'm so ready. |
| Cannot believe ZokuOwari aired 5 years ago... |
 |
| Okay now are really talking... |
 |
| I used to pray for times like this. |
| Ahhhh This is happiness. |
| peak is back? I haven’t been this hyped for a sequel ever, might be time for a rewatch once a date is revealed |
 |
| Maybe this means Vertical will finally continue translating the novels. It must have done well, yet they stopped and never explained why. |
| Peak fiction is finally back on the menu. God bless |
 |
| This is the best timeline. We'll all be there. |
 |
| HEYYYY, it’s back! A much welcomed return to the series. Can’t wait to see Araragi again after so long lol. |
| this is going to be delicious |
Ain't No Way NO FUCKING WAY THIS IS REAL!!! I thought I was being played by Mal but damn this is the best News I've ever got in this Month! I always knew Shaft wouldn't abandon their "Golden child" but Off And Monster Season at the same time was a Huge surprise to me I didn't expect this day would come. |
 |
| I HAVE WAITED AGES FOR THIS, BUT WHERE IS HANEKAWA TSUBASA???????? :( |
   |
| Peak is coming back into my life. Now I can rewatch it with no regret |
 |
| I knew there were more Monogatari novels but no idea what they're about. I see Nadeko on the cover tough so I'll definitely watch. Also I think That's Tsukihi with the long hair? I like it. |
 |
| Based from the logo alone, it seems that they are combining both Off & Monster Seasons into one adaptation. If that's the case, then it'll have an equal or more episodes compared to the Second Season + Hanamonogatari. |
 |
| Hopefully the tourists that became anime fans in the time since the last season back the off with their complaining when this returns. |
| Heckkkkkk yeahhh !!! Cannot almost believe my eyes. The recent state of Shaft had me convinced that we would never get another Monogatari series. But Alas, we got an announcement and for 2024 at that !! The golden age of anime is slowly coming back. First Ginpachi-sensei and Kimi ni Todoke S3. Then the announcement of 'The One Piece', which I'm the most excited for. And now this. We eating good boys 😁 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Madoka is continuing and now two more seasons of Monogatari get adapted. The timeline is not lost after all. |

| @Badonkers Unless they cut a lot and increase the pacing I doubt they'll adapt everything in a single (2 cour) season. Second Season (incl Hana) adapted six volumes with ~1750 pages in 28 episodes. Off Season has four volumes with ~1050 pages. Monster Season has six volumes with ~1600 pages. I would love to be surprised otherwise but currently I'm expecting Off Season to start airing in December and continue throughout the winter 2025 season. (Which is still great for me since I almost gave up hope on this) |
