A new trailer has just dropped for the upcoming “Monogatari: Off Season & Monster Season” anime adaptation, and it features the awesome theme song by the acclaimed music duo YOASOBI.
The trailer gives us a sneak peek at the “Orokamonogatari” and “Nademonogatari” stories that will be covered in this latest installment. And the best part? We finally hear YOASOBI’s catchy new tune titled “Undead” in action!
For those who may not know, YOASOBI has become a hit among anime fans worldwide thanks to their incredible theme songs for shows like Oshi no Ko, BEASTARS, and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. The duo, made up of producer Ayumu and singer-songwriter Ikura, even recently performed at the White House during the Japanese Prime Minister’s visit to the US!
But let’s not get sidetracked – we’re here to talk about the Monogatari anime! This highly anticipated sequel is animated by the talented team at Studio SHAFT, with veteran director Akiyuki Shinbo leading the charge as chief director. Fans can expect the same high-quality visuals and storytelling they’ve come to love from the series.
Here is some background for those new to the Monogatari universe: it all started as a light novel series written by Nisi Oisin and illustrated by Vofan in 2006. The various story arcs, like “Off Season” and “Monster Season,” follow the adventures of Koyomi Araragi and the fascinating characters he encounters.
July 6th can’t come soon enough for Monogatari fans! With a brand new season, a fresh YOASOBI banger as the theme song, and Studio SHAFT’s top-notch animation, this is shaping to be an unforgettable addition to the beloved franchise.
