I'm a bit surprised that they'd combine all the "second season" novels into a 2-cour series, especially due to the massive length of Nekomonogatari (White) compared to the other books.
On the other hand, since they are combining all the second season novels into a 2-cour series, that means we'd probably get them a lot sooner than if they were spread out.

With SHAFT it is quite easy to know the timeline, you just have to put LATE or DELAYED next to the project name

Think of it this way, Kizumonogatari is a fantastic opportunity to attract new fans because you do not need any prior knowledge of the series going into the movie. If Shaft is going to go all-out and invest a substantial amount of money into any of the upcoming Monogatari adaptations, it most likely will be Kizumonogatari. More money and time will, hopefully, translate into some of the most ridiculous action sequences we have ever seen.
Spend a lot of money to wow the audience in the theatre in the hopes that they are so enthralled by what they saw that they go out and buy all the Blu-rays for Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari, and all subsequent Monogatari adaptations. |
Just like they took there time with the last episode of Madoka, I'm willing to wait as well.

This is really bad news:
Quote: |
adapt the six works that make up the "second season" of the Monogatari series that span from Nekomonogatari (White) to Koimonogatari as a 26-episode TV series. |
To be more concise, they want to adapt these six works into a 26-episode series:
Nekomonogatari (White)
Kabukimonogatari
Hanamonogatari
Otorimonogatari
Onimonogatari
Koimonogatari
To give you an idea, Bakemonogatari was 2 volumes long, and it required 15 episodes to adapt. And now Shaft wants to adapt 6 novels into 26 episodes? that's almost a disaster in the making. And if you consider that novels like Nekomonogatari (White) are one of the longest Nisio Isin has ever wrote, how is Shaft going to adapt all of that in a miser 26-episode TV series? This new "TV series" thing is going to be rushed as hell.
Now, if the episodes were 50 minutes long like Katanagatari, it would be another story, but I really doubt it, considering that Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari were all the standard 24-minutes long, sadly.

Christ, how many books are in this series?!
Actually....why do LN series tend to have so many novels anyway? American YA novels (the clostest comparison) rarely get past 3-4 books. Even Harry Potter was only 7, yet most LN series are 10-15 and some are MORE than that.

Light novels are typically around 200 pages (~50k words) in length, far shorter than the average Harry Potter novel. Also they're usually serialized in a magazine rather than released as a standalone book, same as what you see in manga.

Well, some, like Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere, are pretty thick.
...I do remember reading that competition is very low in LNs. You can spend a lot of time writing volumes without worrying about being dropped, usually. This does have the unfortunate side effect that LNs are on average, of lower quality than full-on novels.

"Typically", but Horizon's a bit tricky anyways since it's actually multiple books in one volume.
I don't know much about the competition, but it wouldn't surprise me. Writing a novel is hard, and writing it serially seems like it would be a nightmare.

It's SHAFT, I'm not at all surprised they are experiencing delays. I am however pretty saddened, as this film is one that I have been looking forward to since Bakemonogatari in 2009.
Still, I've been waiting for Gothicmade since 2006/07, which puts things into perspective.
