Aniplex has released a trailer for Nademonogatari, one of the story arcs from the upcoming Monogatari Off and Monster Season anime series, and an adaptation of the light novel of the same name.
Aside from previewing new scenes and the song “caramel ribbon cursetard,” the trailer reveals that the Wazamonogatari and Shinobumonogatari stories are also getting adapted.
Monogatari Off and Monster Season will premiere in Japan on July 6 JST. It will first cover the Orokamonogatari and Nademonogatari arcs.
In the original supernatural light novel series by Nisio Isin (and illustrated by Vofan), the Off-Season books (released from 2015 to 2017.) include Orokamonogatari, Wazamonogatari, Nademonogatari, and Musubimonogatari. Meanwhile, the Monster Season stories (released from 2017 to 2021) include Shinobumonogatari, Yoimonogatari, Amarimonogatari, Ougimonogatari, and Shimonogatari Parts 1 and 2.
The first Monogatari Series books were 2006’s Bakemonogatari Part 1 and 2. The Bakemonogatari anime premiered in 2009 and was directed by Tatsuya Oishi, who also directed 2016 to 2017’s Kizumonogatari movie trilogy. The other previous Monogatari anime were directed by Tomoyuki Itamura (Call of the Night, The Case Study of Vanitas).
Kodansha USA describes Bakemonogatari Part 1 as:
There’s a girl at their school who is always ill. She routinely arrives late, leaves early, or doesn’t show up at all, and skips gym as a matter of course. She’s pretty, and the boys take to whispering that ’s a cloistered princess. As the self-described worst loser in her class soon finds out, they just don’t know what a monster she is.
So begins a tale of mysterious maladies that are supernatural in origin yet deeply revealing of the human psyche, a set of case files as given to unexpected feeling as it is to irreverent humor.
