do you think Suruga Kanbaru gets enough appearances in the Monogatari Series?
no i think she needs more, but in a certain context (mentions of the light novels ahead!)
araragi is the main POV character throughout the series, so generally when we see her we see her from his lens, IN the context of the pair interacting, meaning we’re mostly only looking at one side of her. and their dynamic remains mostly unchanged (although i haven’t read shinobumonogatari yet so i cant b sure) so seeing more of her would probably just be seeing more of that dynamic. which is fine bc its fun but on its own it doesnt quite warrant more appearances (which is why i like their interaction in musubi a lot, it’s a little different from their usual).
but like, she’s an interesting character (i mean, all nisioisin characters are lol) and she’s also a strong protagonist. i was super surprised when i learned hanamonogatari doesn’t seem to be that popular bc i honestly really like it (and she was really good in orokamonogatari too). like, the times when kanbaru is most interesting to me are when it’s not an araragi pov/when its her pov (same goes for most of the other girls too just by virtue of seeing them in a different light). so i feel like itd be v cool to get more appearances of her separate from him.
The official English translations of Monogatari obviously stopped because they took one look at the Second Chapter of Orokamonogatari, and all the kanji tricks and wordplay, and just started sobbing.
I read both Orokamonogatari and Wazamonogatari in roughly the space of 24 hours whilst still dealing with work and stuff, whoops.
I guess I should go into Nademonogatari now hehe.
But first, a couple of thoughts.
SODACHI FIASCO AND TSUBASA SLEEPING WERE SO GOOD.
Fiasco made me upset repeatedly, and only reinforced my feelings for Sodachi.... she just like me fr...
Tsubasa Sleeping had the greatest use of character voice and was so rich in implication and augh, Tsubasa......
I mean I don't wanna talk about them too much for spoilers.
Wazamonogatari was far better than Orokamonogatari, I don't usually compare books directly, but I felt that since these two off-season novels are just 'three arcs' with no real theming, I think I can.
It's also easy since Oroka has 1 really good arc (Fiasco), and two arcs I didn't really care about (Suruga Bonehead and Tsukihi Undo), whilst Waza opened up strong with Acerola Bon Appetite and then proceeded to follow that up with the fun Karen Ogre and really fun Tsubasa Sleeping.
I wonder if I'll read Nademonogatari or the 3gatsu crossover first....
one of the most important things to take away from Sodachi Fiasco is that Sodachi has a sense of justice as strong as Koyomi's, even if it's harder for it to come out
which Monogatari characters do you think would be most likely to stick a speaker that plays Hollywood car engine sound effects to their bicycle?
ASFADIFSDKF this is so funny
ok for the two people who we know own bicycles...
we know araragi likes bicycles and later cars HOWEVER i do not think he'd do it here bc he'd find it too weird and pointless. he would just get a car (which he does).
ougi would do it, to fuck with people (read: kanbaru). in fact i think during that whole period of time starting from hana and continuing in oroka is a prime time for when he would do it. but just the speakers isnt enough that's not enough commitment to the bit. he also gets a car key that makes the sound and everything. and somehow rigs it so that you cant ride the bicycle without using the key first LOL. not only is it a fun gag it’s a fun poke at araragi’s graduation from the bicycle onto cars. but i say hana and oroka bc i think ougi would do it to fuck with kanbaru *specifically.* it’s the sort of thing she’d be annoyed at and then they’d go into their straight man/funny man dynamic.
and now for the ones who dont own bicycles (as far as i can recall)
i think tsukihi might do it because she just likes to pretend she’s driving a car, which is honestly very real. she also probably wouldnt even care that much to actually drive one, like she’d learn how to drive and everything and drive like once and be like ‘eh its alright’
and i think senjougahara might also do it like once or twice to be silly. she has a good sense of humor
i dont think any of the characters would though, even if they owned bicycles. i think shinobu (maybe) or hachikuji would think the speakers are cool, but i dont think they would actually put them on themselves. the rest of the cast would think it was lame or pointless or unpractical, or just wouldn’t care.
