The franchise received an anime adaptation titled Bakemonogatari by studio SHAFT in the Summer of 2009. Nisemonogatari and Nisemonogatari (Black) followed in 2012. Monogatari Series: Second Season aired in 2013 and covered 6 arcs of the light novel. The remaining arcs – Tsukimonogatari, Owarimonogatari, Koyomimonogatari, Owarimonogatari II, and Zoku Owarimonogatari were also adapted to anime.
