Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season Creditless OP Released

Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season released the creditless OP video. The opening features “Caramel Ribbon Cursetard,” which is sung by Nadeko (CV: Kana Hanazawa) and Yotsugi (CV: Saori Hayami). The song’s lyrics were written by Megumi Hinata (Meg Rock/Gumi) of Card Captor Sakura fame, while its arrangement and composition were handled by Mito of Clammbon (Hanasaku Iroha ED, Shirokuma Cafe OP).

The opening video showcases a few Easter eggs that long-time Monogatari fans would quickly pick up. For those new to the franchise watching the show without knowledge of the previous titles, it’s full of kawaiiness, and that’s always appreciated.
