the ending song for Bakemonogatari, Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, is the best one in the whole series though

Agreed, that ED owns. I can't really remember any of the others at all.

The one from Nise is the best part of that season outside of Kaiki.

Torquemadras: *watches Hanamonogatari Episode 2*
Kaiki: *has a beard*
Girlfriend: "Hey what are you doing"
Torquemadras: "Go away I don't need you anymore"
Torquemadras: *hugs screen, cries*

I don't even know how he survived. No explanation whatsoever. I kept thinking this must be an impostor (he even has the evil impostor beard! ...well, the impostor beard), or some trick by Ougi AKA "Possibly literal Lucifer", but he kept acting like a very convincing original. Also had some very Kaiki-like thoughts, going by several of the million title cards flying by at supersonic speed which reveal character's thoughts. Oh well. It's nice he's not gone, since his whole deal with the Gaen family was never resolved. I hope they do explain eventually how he survived that, though. I sense Ougi shenanigans.

Bakemonogatari OP ranks

1- Staple Stable (Senjougahara)
2- Renai Circulation (Nadeko)
3- Ambivalent World (Kanbaru)
4- Sugar Sweet Nightmare (Tsubasa)
5- Kaerimichi (Mayoi)

They're all really good though....

Kaiki's starts the Hitagi End arc warning that you should be wary of whether what he's saying is true or not, but also that you may have already fallen into his trap by that point. I recommend rewatching that whole initial speech again, because it's great.

Hanamonogatari takes place after Koimonogatari, either way. Kaiki didn't even meet Suruga until Hanamono, he makes reference to that fact when considering the reasons he would take up the job in the first episode of Koi.

Nekomonogatari Kuro takes place before Bakemonogatari, but nobody is suggesting you go and watch that as the introduction to the series. Similarly, Kizumonogatari may have suffered the fate of endless production hell, but it should technically be seen right after Bakemonogatari once it's out, or you lose all the impact for the Nekomonogatari arcs.

Hanamonogatari should be watched right after Kabukimonogatari, so you can appreciate what a goddamn troll Nishio really is.

im going to watch teh episodes in reverse order, but the audio that plays during them will be from the proper episode, for example tsukimonogatari will have the audio of bakemonogatari episode 1 playing over it, slowed down 10% and then im going to reach enlightenment

Incidentally, the remarkable series Touka Gettan was broadcast in reverse order, causing much confusion.

For newcomers, this is a really dumb attitude. Kizumonogatari should absolutely be watched after Bakemonogatari, or you'll ruin a whole bunch of poo poo, including the upcoming Owarimonogatari adaptation.

The people making the anime decided on their own order for the adapted work, so nothing is ruined by following their plan

Kizumonogatari was initially announced for release in 2012, though, so they kind of hosed up their plan.

Plans can change and it's ultimately about what their final plan was, not the tentative plan.

Actually, I think it's the opposite: watching all the other arcs first have ruined Kizu because all of its twists have been treated as common knowledge since then.
