WORTHLESS TAG SPAM: cracks knuckles rolls neck stretches vigorously breaks back Call of the Night is an anime from Japan about Kou Yamori going out into the night and finding gasp NAZUNA NANAKUSA! And guess what? This video is ALSO about Monogatari! Which is... really hard to explain... toothbrush scene. Hachikuji scene. Various other appealing scenes. Araragi Koyomi and Senjougahara Hitagi and Tsubasa Hanekawa and Oshino Shinobu (for good measure). This video is also about TOMOYUKI ITAMURA and his AWESOME contributions to Call of the Night's epic directing! Tatsuya Oishi Akiyuki Shinbo. CotN is by Kotoyama and Monogatari is by Nisio Isin. Bakemonogatari Kizumonogatari Nisemonogatari Nekomonogatari Monogatari Series: Second Season Hanamonogatari Tsukimonogatari Owarimonogatari Koyomimonogatari Owarimonogatari Season 2 Zoku Owarimonogatari. Just for good measure. It's late. I want to go to bed, but I'm too busy writing tags. It's literally past midnight. I'm like one of the characters in the show, except instead of using the night to escape societal pressure, I use the night to feel more pressured to provide more videos to try and make my hobbies evolve a la Pokemon into a career. Such is life.
Remember to sub if ya liked it :>

And as always, thankies for watching
Great video except now I'm sad that shaft is going down this downward spiral. We probably won't get another monogatari season or march comes in like a lion season from them.
i wouldn't give up hope yet. it definitely depends on if they can eke out another hit, and if the new madoka film ends up a success. even if shaft dies though, i cant imagine monogatari not getting another season--- its too big for that.
nahh, shaft will be fine as long as akiyuki shinbo is working for them. we just need to wait a little while. I mean, hataraku maou-sama got a 2nd season after 9 fucking years, hibike euphonium will be getting a 3rd season even after the arson atttack in kyoani so it isn't impossible for another 3-gatsu no Lion and monogatari anime project
@@kissshot2261 with monogatari series, I think that it is the last season. since it is the final season (namely), they can reason out fans that is waiting for off and monster season.
If ever they continue it, I doubt it will use the same monogatari magic. The promise they made to adopt all the books to anime is even harder since most of the previous staff is not there.
Reply to me if ever shaft continues the off season.
@@kissshot2261 even if we do get an off-season or monster season adaptation after 9 years or so, I worry about the voice actors. Kamiya Hiroshi is 47. I feel they're too good that they can't be replaced.
@@SilkRoadMedic dude, kamiya hiroshi is still too young to consider quitting the industry
I mean, masako nozawa, goku's va, is literally 86 years old and is still voicing goku till this day
luffy's va has been voicing luffy for 20 years already (she's 67 now)
nakata jouji (va of kotomine kirei) is 68 but still as good as voice acting as he was back then.
for someone as talented as kamiya hiroshi, I doubt he'll struggle voice acting even at the age of 60s .
i don't think i've ever seen a youtube video where the subs and likes perfectly match in number, *this is a momentous occasion*
firstly why didn't make a video about new monogatari series announcment? Secondly how do you feel about Tomoyoki Itamura is no more directing the show
1. that video would be pointless 2. he is directing s2
That’s my crunchy bagel
Btw why there is no Shin Oonuma?
Shin Oonuma only episode directed one episode of Monogatari as far as I know, and was never series director, so there was no point in mentioning him. He left SHAFT far before the exodus began.
@@Crunchybagels thanks for the update man, my memory still stuck at ef series, back then i only love 2 directors, one is shinbo akiyuki and another is oonuma shin.
i hate that shaft imploded they were easily a top of the top studio less than 5 years ago and today theyre nowhere
the nisio/shaft combo was so good and tbf so was every convention-breaking series they did
also, great video!
They lack directors. Animations wise, they have grown. Management still sucks.
we missed the opportunity for a full Zaregoto adaptation
@@unrealwaifu1152 i refuse to die until i see a kubishime romanticist adaptation
@@unrealwaifu1152 just started reading the kubikiri cycle a few days ago - i will perish if it never gets fully adapted
@@formula31 my dude. I just want to see Mikoko on screen.
Extremely well made video, when I checked the sub amount I expected it to be in the tens of thousands, not in the hundreds. Great pacing, script and visual and audio editing. There's a few points I don't agree with (I'm too big of a monogatari fanboy to be able to admit its over-the-top visuals are sometimes flawed or pointless), but the whole video was thoroughly enjoyable and interesting... subbed right away
thank you very much, and i'm glad you enjoyed it
I don't think interesting visuals can ever be pointless. Anime is a visual medium. Style is substance. If you took the visuals away, Monogatari would be long forgotten regardless of the snappy dialogue or what philosophical outlook it presents. So I would disagree on that as well. And I'm no fanboy.
@@dedwendell imo they actually can be pointless.. there should be a purpose for a choice in style. It's like cuts in movies: if they aren't purposeful, they distract and annoy the viewer. I can understand why one could be annoyed by the visuals during some scenes in the Monogatari series, even though I wouldn't agree with them.
NOT FALSTORY 💀 I'VE BEEN CALLING IT "IMPOSTORY"
IMPOSTORY IS SO CLEVER WHAT I NEVER THOUGHT OF CALLING IT THAT im stealing it forever and you cant stop me
when the impostory is sustory
@@Crunchybagels please use it I have been pressing to make it mainstream
you, sketching Nadeko as a way to transition between thoughts, makes the whole video more personal :>
13:55 I live in Norway and have always called it Yofukashi no Uta, now I'm having an existential crisis
Amazingly well put together video. Watching through Call of the Night, I knew it had too much similarity and checking the cast, of course the directory worked on Monogatari. Although I do not agree with some points, like the part where where you said Call of the Night is better directed than most of the Monogatari Second Season. You see, as a Light Novel, Monogatari is not only one of the most unique things out there, it is also so much unlike an light novel, that is a miracle that we even got an adaptation at all in the first place. So yes, some of the shots do feel out of place, like they used them just for the sake of doing so, but that is because there is so much dialogue, they have to use deadpans and closeups otherwise they might as well make a PowerPoint presentation. With Call of the Night, they already had a storyboard to work with, and since they have the visuals, deciding on which shot to use and what time becomes a lot more easier.
In general in both series we have all stereotypes: lolis, vampires, harem, fanservice, tsundere magic etc. However all of that is used to present very existential experience. Telling us to question everything and dont believe in anything blindly. When Bakemonogatari goes more into Jean Paul Satre existentialism. Call of the night goes more into Emil Cioran philosophy to deconstruct everything and through this criticism find freedom. Emil Cioran also had insomnia
This is a 35 minute video that convinced me to watch call of the night
I think that directer has a thing with vampires,
No reasons…
Друже, ти неймовірний! Я слабо розумію англійську мову, але, як фанат Моногатарі я захоплююсь твоєю роботою!
This video is really good, if you're still looking for fun Shaft shows to watch the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei might be a fun watch. Itamaru onlt directs a few episodes, but it's still full of shaftisms in its animation, along with a lot of familiar voice talent like Hiroshi Kamiya voicing the protagonist. Either way, keeo rocking man, glad youtube recommended this to me!
Edit: Seems like you've watched it already lol, shoulda waited till the end. Still great to find another shaft fan
I now expect a 1 hour review of Vanitas no Carte covering both seasons and every single certified Monogatari momento.
1:00 dude, that desk's texture looks exactly like an old one that my dad has, and then you're using a pink+white 0.7mm Bic mechanic pencil with a broken pin-hook... Are you some kind of alternate identity within me? 🤣
You should make some shaft esque videos that is confusing but if the audience think enough, it'll make sense lol
No wonder Call of the Night had Monogatari inspired visuals
It's sad to see Shaft struggle, because it is - or more like was - one of the best and most unique studio. I hope they fix the problems and maybe a couple years later get back their staff. Easier to follow a studio than a couple freelancer artists. :)
As for the unfinished shows, I think the unfinished Monogatari episodes were better in some cases. Those cards with sentences from the LN are really unique and still enjoyable idea.
Wait, what unfinished episodes?
fun fact, I am proof that one's neck can be too-straight. I must've overtime attempted to hold my posture so intently over a span of however many years I decided to do so, a chiropractor who saw me explained, "your neck is actually too straight" "Your posture is slightly uneven too, in two spots"
Anything related to Monogatari is a blessing to me thanks for this video
A great video about two of my favorite shows. I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Subscribed.
Ps. You should watch Vanitas
At 17:15 this scene really is symbolic to me for this one reason alone. This shot is very reminisent of a Thermal Camera and our boy Kou is full of heat which radiates a green aura meanwhile Seki is cold blooded and therefor she cannot emit a aura considering her vampire status and this attention to detail really sells the scene to me. It's no wonder why Vampires craves Humans as they lacks warmth.I believe she wanted to kill all humans was due to the fact that she may become too addicted to a Human's love and affection and she wouldn't know what to do next or how to feel. So essentially she resisted her urges for so long which lead to her reaching breaking point. This tension packed moment is so good if you read the room. The whole Show but don't Tell motif says it all and that is why I genuinely love Call of the Night.
At first I thought this video was too long, then I finished the video and It felt too short xD
New sub, amazing video!
I'm glad you clarified that Shinbo doesn't really direct Monogatari but it's worth noting that ultra-wide shots, horizontal same-plane shots, abrupt artstyle shifts, slow motion off-kilter panning shots can all be found in Shaft series/ episodes that Itamura didn't work on. These directing traits I attribute to Shinbo. Although that cutout style in Madoka and Zetsubou Sensei is all Yukihiro Miyamoto.
I sorta skipped over this in the video for time reasons, as I was more concerned with simply proving the link between Monogatari and Call of the Night, but most of the stylistic tics in Itamuragatari were also present in Bakemonogatari. Itamura largely carried them over in order to keep the series stylistically consistent, though many, myself included, would claim that he transformed them subtly and made them his own as time went on.
@@Crunchybagels Anyways I liked your video. You said that Shaft is a dead studio and I agree, I've seen nearly all their anime from Moon Phase to Sangatsu no Lion. Shinbo really took a no name studio and made it the best studio ever, but the golden age is past, and it's like the studio is back to square one.
@@soundsofsoundsof Moon Phase! Somebody else remembers that show? Cool.
@@dreadogastusf3548 Yeah I remember it, not so fondly. But I do like it.
@@soundsofsoundsof It was my first experience with a bad anime trope. Story starts with an interesting/strong female MC. The male MC is uninterested or weak. But as soon as the hero takes up the challenge, the female lead falls to the back as a helpless damsel in distress.
omg, that’s an amazing analysis dude, must’ve been a very time consuming process to collect all these shots, I see your strong passion for it, respect
*shivers weakly* my work... has finally been recognized...!
Im amazed by the footage used for this, WHAT! 9:06
No wonder unknowingly I loved vanitas and call of the night so much
I actually liked Assault Lily visually, not that it was Shaft style tho
And Ice Queendom... disappointed but I am a rwby fan
And thanks for giving me the name of the god who made what I likek in monogatari, call of the night and others, now I know what to look for 👌
itamura is much simpler than Oishi, and to be honest he probably wasn't prepared to direct an anime, it's visible how much he improved but I prefer his work in monogatai because he is more faithful to the story, I like crazy direction but I still want to see a story, Oishi makes great scenes but sometimes at the cost of the story don't making sense
All i want from shaft is a proper shaft conclusion to sayonara zetsubou sensei the manga conclusion is amazing and imagining it done in classic shaft fashion is chefs kiss especially if theres more of the ova openings
Been a long time since I've enjoyed a good long Shaft... video. Good to see stuff like this getting made. sub. o7
Thank you for putting all of this into words.
I immediately recignized Monogatary style even with the first trailer of Call of the Night, but was too lazy to dig deeper. Now it all makes sense!
Bro, I am shocked to find out those cuts with [missing scene] and stuff like that were actually unfinished scenes that they would put into the blu-ray discs.
I just need someone to adapt zaregoto vol 2 man.
This is good explanation of shaft anime
it’s shockingly disappointing to see Shaft end this way but there’s at least hope Tomoyuki Itamura will continue to carry Shaft’s legacy on his back. I can confirm Vanitas part 1 and especially part 2 had those shaft vibes as well, maybe not as notorious and frequent but it was there. And Call of the night felt so similar to monogatari that it genuinely felt like it was the same universe.
btw tbf i liked pretty boy detective club and still felt shafty and beautiful, i think it’s biggest weakness was nisioisin this time. Some arcs felt more hollow compared to monogatari. I still liked it nonetheless
And I’m so sad to see that magia record mess and rwby wasn’t that much better. Don’t even know if they would be able to pull a second season of any of these shows
Yeah Vanitas really has the Shaft vibe thanks to Itamura directing although not as great as Tatsuya Oishi imo.
What make Vanitas' Shaft vibes harder to noticed imo is because the detailed background art of Production IG clashes with the Shaft creative transitions and close ups.
Still a great show with beautiful animation though, as Production IG really nailed it when it comes to frame to frame consistency of their animations.
I'll have to check all this stuff out. I don't watch much but decided to give call of the night a shot and really liked it's animation ls and voice acting. Kinda haven't watched any anime since I was young and dragon ball was on tv.
What happened with shaft and magia record?
How can someone with less than 600 subs make such an incredible video. So high quality, great work!!
Wow, that was a good video. Always nice to find a smaller channel that makes stuff like this. Guess I'll sub.
Mr. Bagels. Your video was informative and well cited. The editing and use of clips was great. The narration was clear and amusing. Have a like and sub.
Damnit, I have to drop everything and go watch both of these now...
Thanks!
all according to keikaku
shaft truly is an anime studio of all time
Surprised this doesnt have more views/the creator has more subs. Well made.
Monogatari influenced Bocchi the Rock as well
Are there any interviews confirming this?
I really don't know u but I'm happy to watch this
This video was really well put together, I hope you do more video essays like this in the future!
will do
14:44 I have yet to see the RWBY anime cuz i was so excited that Shaft was doing it but damn now hearing it didnt have that good ol Shinbo magic 😂😂😂
Dude, if you do more detailed videos like this, breaking down influences and such, I feel like you'd grow decently fast
Wow I loved this so much fantastic work your awesome :)
I do feel like there's other studios one would think about when talking about non-diegetic color palettes besides shaft. Personally I think of Silver Link. Even though more than half of its shows are undeniably mid, their use of weird colors for dramatic scenes absolutely catches your attention. If anything, the one thing that says shaft to me are the less than second long screens with random text and those closeup eye shots with the camera shutter sound effect which punctuate conversations in pretty much every episode. Also Akio watanabe's art style and the madoka/hidamari sketch art style, though admittedly those do appear on other studios as well, just not as often.
I love that you brought up silver link, because silver link was founded by an ex-SHAFT member. The reason why Silver Link's shows have such interesting color choices is because of SHAFT.
@@Crunchybagels ok that's actually really cool to know. I guess I was understimating just how old of a studio shaft actually is.
Underrated
Am sorry i can't get to watch this video because of my data i would like to tell you something that the both anime have different plot but same way to express it like fast changing scenes, sometime pin drop silence, and none of all the way to portrait the night in both anime u can see that the night is very important so they didn't make it dark instead they use cool colours and light actually call of the night was the reason i went out at 3 am alone that was scary but ya bakemonogatari or whatever the name was anime was focuses on Japanese words i get to know a lot of about Japanese kanji and things i didnt get to read the manga of both but anime waa gud tho and am waiting for new seasons thankyou for reading
wow you are a crazy person for doing all of this research, thank you for the video it was very interesting
I fully stand by your points made in the video (including waifu?), minus all the research and efforts into compiling the information. This video really spilled my guts out. You have won a subscription.
Just need more sound tracks from call of the night. I don't have a problem you do.
Great video, I watched Call of the Night because of it and it was so good
Video feels rough to watch hearing some of the comments from animators working with shaft on monogatari right now :( I was shaft was better
So many anitubers simply stopped making anime youtube videos. Welcome aboard.
Ok
Seeing how studio madhouse just went into almost nothingness and now this, Japanese animation studios need some serious backing.
The anime is getting more mainstream than ever before. This is time for the industry to also catch up.
It's a great industry with more passionate artists than any other industry (you don't need enough Brain to get to this conclusion. It is a freaking industry with overwork, super tight schedule and poor salary and yet they are releasing anime and capturing this massive audience... Only explanation is passion )
Imagine anime studios getting even 10% of time, money and freedom.... It will produce amazing things
Yeah, I dunno. Something tells me that pinning the entire visual identity of your studio on a single director's style isn't the best way to do things. I think Studio Trigger has made more of an effort to not make every major series "The Hiroyuki Imaishi Show," and it seems like Imaishi's projects have been a little more experimental and not just his same style ad nauseum - and as a big fan of SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon as well as Edgerunners, I think both those trends are a good thing.
I like Imaishi's series, I think Imaishi is a great director, but like... if you make someone eat the most delicious steak in the world for dinner seven days a week year-round, sooner or later you're gonna want literally anything but steak. I think that Shaft's over-reliance on Shinbo's style and their lack of compelling ideas when he's not involved kinda demarcate the limits of the sort of auteur culture you see in a lot of anime studios, but I'm not nearly well-informed enough to say anything about any of this for sure.
I think your argument does actually have merit, and was very well worded! Personally though, although all SHAFT shows fell roughly under the same style, after having been such a super fan of their studio for so long, I've realized that there are subtle differences between their shows depending on who other than Shinbo is working on it, and personally think that brought enough variation between each show to make the reliance on Shinbo's style work.
@@Crunchybagels That's a good point, too. I think it's really cool to see how, you know... artists can be so heavily inspired by other artists and other series in their chosen medium, and still find ways to express their individuality and carve out something unique from well-worn material. But it sort of looks like SHAFT's horrendous management never really gave space to grow to the directors Shinbo inspired, and then moved on to greener pastures, taking the fruits of the efforts put toward iterating on his style with them.
I don't know about you, but Luminous Witches and Assault Lily look so generic it's almost comical - and whether you love or hate SHAFT's style, no one could ever accuse their series of looking generic before this. Even the rough parts of Monogatari Series are so distinctive and unique that you can still feel SHAFT's oddball, but very meticulous style even through the really awkward action scenes in Owari and Hana. Luminous Witches in particular looks like the generic stock anime that a character would be watching on TV in another anime, and that is the last thing I associate with SHAFT.
@@Yggdraseed Funny story--- the first draft of this video contained a mini-rant on how much I disliked Luminous Witches due to how generic its visuals were, but I had to cut it since it was too far beside the point lol
I second your rage in Magia Record
Nice content, imma sub sir
Wait, the still frames in Monogatari werent intentional?
Lol
id like to see Itamura direct a touhou fight scene. Not for the fight but just lighting and how he would set a mood in such a fast paced fight scene
Thanks for this video an the research
Just subbed, Looking forward to your next upload👍
Cool video
Damn good timing just re-watching this show. Also the video is really well done
Holy shit the legend LIVES
this video is a fucking banger
i wish this channel all the success in the world, if this isn't HUGE soon idk what's wrong with the world
Why is that guy drawing with a big ass glove on?
when i loved a show so much and no one talks about it then i get this recommendation. Subscribed you sir have great taste.
Amazing video! Kinda missing Monogatari so I was looking for videos talking about it. I’m glad I found this one.
Great Video
very well done.
Great video, just happy to hear someone that made a good research
That was the most depressing note you could have ended the video on
it was too darkly hilarious to pass up
Season 2 has been greenlit.
Underrated yootoober
I think Bocchi is probably the best directed show this year, but I won't lie, the stylization of Call of the Night was beautiful. Definitely a close second
Wait, where did you use Amalgam Undertale ost?? I didn't notice it, and I love this track
Btw, great vid. I love Monogatari and I really like Call of the Night
nice editing w vid
It's funny how you praise this show so much. And most of us didn't even notice it. The problem is that visually I like monogatari, but Call of the Night is unpleasant.
Finally somebody noticed, this emptyness of unnecceary characters and this feel. MONOGATARI
7:42 exactly man owari season 1 wouldve been a 10 if it wasnt for the the last arc. ougi and sodachi arcs are straight gas
You said call of the night is better directed than Monogatari...
I would say that's called "growth"
I saw your comment on anilist so here i am
awesome
14:55 you missed the chance to say that you're being shafted by shaft 😵
Though in all seriousness, overall a very great video. +1 sub
I appreciate the info but I gave COTN a go and couldn't get into it after the first episode. Was hoping for something that would have sated my Monogatari fix, but the characters just didn't do anything for me, or had a feeling like it was a show that kinda stood out from other shows. Monogatari did this well and more recently Chainsaw Man did a great job of grabbing me.
So much content this year holy shit so hype
i cant believe my fans have it so rough that me uploading twice this year is good eating
My favorite pandemic era Shaft anime was Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To!
Mr best give me money
will 3 cent work?
Now i understand why madoka 4th movie is nowhere to be found
call of the night quenched my monogatari thirst for now
Arsnotoria also felt a bit shafty and i think it aired the same season also by a director that used to work with shaft
I agree that Ougi Formula is a beautiful arc to look at, but Ougi as a character makes me unreasonably angry and I just had to slog through it
Hopefully shaft gets its shit together and produces another monogatari season at the old hights.
