Aniplex left no stone unturned to hype up their upcoming projects by giving some cryptic clues. Well, now it’s clear that the production house was hinting at Monogatari’s return.

The massive company dropped clues in the form of the letters ‘O’ and ‘M, ‘ which was enough to make anime fans curious. Aniplex also created a website with the same hints.

Aniplex has blessed the community with beloved series like Sword Art Online and Demon Slayer. So, it’s no wonder why fans was eager to know what the production house had in store for them next.

Well, they finally have the answer to that question – and let’s just say that the community isn’t disappointed after the reveal.

Monogatari is returning with new anime adaptations

Monogatari’s official website recently announced that two new Monogatari projects are in production.

The anime adaptations are titled Monogatari: Off Season and Monogatari: Monster Season. The studio has revealed a key art and official trailer to announce the upcoming massive projects. Apparently, Studio Shaft is working on both projects.

Monogatari: Off Season will adapt short stories from four novels: Orokamonogatari, Wazamonogatari, Nademonogatari, and Musubimonogatari. These events, which will be told in Off Season, occur at different times throughout the main timeline.

Monogatari: Monster Season, on the other hand, will cover events from Shinobumonogatari, Yoimonogatari, Amarimonogatari, and Ōgimonogatari. The events in this season will continue the story of the primary Monogatari timeline.

Aniplex confirmed that both the anime adaptations will be released sometime in 2024. However, they’ve yet to give us an exact release date. Along with that, we also know nothing about the episode count of Off Season and Monster Season.

The community has been deprived of any Monogatari content since 2019, when Zoku Owarimonogatari premiered on our screens with six episodes. However, since then, anime fans have been awaiting any announcement regarding the series’ return. Well, the time has finally come, and Monogatari will be once again blessing our screens with new episodes sometime in 2024.
