Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season announced a new anime project, described as a “new episode” (新エピソード) currently in production. Alongside the announcement, a teaser visual featuring the main characters was released, along with a promotional video in which DJ Nadeko and Bro. Yotsugi deliver the news via rap.
The wording “new episode” may suggest a single installment, but within the context of the Monogatari franchise, the term was previously used more broadly. Rather than referring to a single 23-minute TV episode, it typically indicates a new story arc or novel adaptation, which can span multiple episodes (or even films).
The new season of Monogatari previously ran for 14 episodes from July to October 2024, covering the Orokamonogatari, Nademonogatari, and Wazamonogatari arcs, as well as the Shinobumonogatari arc of the Monster Season.
The main staff of the latest anime consisted of:
- Chief Director: Akiyuki Shinbo
- Director: Midori Yoshizawa
- Series Composition: Akiyuki Shinbo, Tou Fuyashi
- Character Design/Chief Animation Director: Akio Watanabe
- Chief Animation Directors: Kana Miyai, Nobuhiro Sugiyama, Hiroki Yamamura
- Music: Kei Haneoka, Satoru Kosaki, Yuria Miyazono
- Studio: SHAFT
