at 0:46, nadeko is sleeping and there is a box around her. the title, otorimongatari is made of otori 囮 and 物語 monogatari. in otori, the symbol inside the box, 化, means monster. so instead of monster inside the box, its nadeko inside the box. thats basically calling her a monster
I love this opening as an animation because it perfectly foreshadows the entire Nadeko Medusa arc. The animation is the complete undoing of the Rennai Circulation animation and this arc is the complete undoing of the character Nadeko Sengoku
@@VytoneJr They did establish enough. She was a cute shy girl who was in love with Koyomi. She was overly meek and nice, very quiet. A dandere. But this completely unravels all of that. She becomes more aggressive and assertive. Her shyness and meekness gone. She goes from a dandere to a yandere/yangire. But you could say that this was in fact the Nadeko that was sleeping inside of her this whole time. It was the true face behind the mask.
It was a definite favorite. Though in the previous arc when parallel universe X full-power Shinobu asked Koyomi to pat her head, and when Hachikuji kissed Koyomi with "Sorry, I bit your tongue.", those broke me more emotionally. But Nadeko's arc in its entirety was definitely more powerful throughout. It might be my favorite.
I made this comment prior to finishing the anime. I still love the Sengoku arc; however, I feel Ougi’s is the is the most impactful. The storyline for that arc actually made me cry, which never happens.
You know, her problem is a lot like Hanekawa's. She has unrequitted love, hides her personality and bears too much stress, and boom, you have a murderous alter ego. Except Nadeko is a bit more permanent and a lot more powerful.
Nadeko admits in the book that she was never really in love with Araragi. She was "in love with the idea of being in love" Nadeko uses her cuteness and supposed love for araragi as a shield for heartbreak, expectations, responsibility. Nadeko is a really interesting character. I recommend reading otorimonogatari and koimonogatari if you haven't already.
It's very interesting to me how everyone knows and loves Renai Circulation, which symbolizes Nadeko's superficial cuteness, while pretty much everyone that I've met that's actually into Monogatari prefers Mousou Express over it, which symbolizes Nadeko's much deeper writing. Very excited for the new opening coming up.
NoBodyWho It shows the transition from silent-cute Nadeko (symbolised in Renai Circulation where she’s *denying* her love for Koyomi since Senjougahara was already his GF) to crazy-snake-god-Yandere symbolised by this song’s lyrics
Snake goddess or a supernatural being that's born from your own supressed negative feels. Ahh.. it's all just opinions, i respect yours so there's no point arguing.
Rizky Alkhair Not true at all. Sure, she had problems before, but calling her "Crazy" because of them would be way too much. What "broke" her was both the fact that the person she loves couldn't love her back (Remember that she even tried to contact Koyomi during this arc, and he pretty much left her alone anyway - He had his reasons, but it doesn't change the fact) AND she acknowledging the existence of supernatural beings. So, you could say that she got "crazy" somewhere after her first arc (Probably also after her Koyomimonogatari episode).
Otori (囮) monogatari. “Decoy tale”. The kanji 囮 is the kanji “Bake” (化) inside the kanji “Mouth” (口). It’s a monster within a mouth, because Nadeko makes the entire thing up. It’s just a story she tells herself, to justify her own actions.
Evil Ren'ai circulation. Nah, imagine my shock when I found out that this was the villain origin story and the evil arc. Literally did not expect this.
I can't help but admire how perfectly Nisio and Shaft nailed the character here. In any media other than anime, it's usual for manipulative bitches to act cute and demure. But having a paragon of moe acting cute to hide her dark side in a seinen anime? That's genius.
Try watching classroom of the elite. There is someone with a split personality in that anime and Will surely shock you. And also an amazing anime on its own
@@featherinescat In Nademonogatari actually. In Otori we only learn that she's not exactly pleased with her life and she's not some happy "yes" person as she looked before. There she still isn't self, mostly just stress comes out. In Nademonogatari, however, that's where Nadeko is actual Nadeko.
This is Sengoku's inner continuity of who she is and what she wants basically imploding in on itself and to avoid just becoming a cute empty husk; she wants to destroy all these thing's she's attached to and basically try to remodel and re imagine herself and her image.
I just love how creepy and disturbing this song is. It gives me the chills especially knowing what kind of character Nadeko was before this arc. Also great job to Kana Hanazawa for truly capturing the essence of the song, it couldn't have been this good were it sung by anyone else. If Renai Circulation is a great song, this is a MASTERPIECE.
I love the way the studio shaft presented this opening man when you understand the lyrics you can feel the feeling of being rejected by your crush that you have loved your entire life then you know that love is unrequited and the world around you start to collapse, and you let out your other personality, the Monogatari series is representation of those personality, we humans instead of accepting our alter personality we try to ignore them, and then gradually that side will become your personality. I think most of the people will ignore this comment but i suggest that you have to accept that what you are who you are, anyway the Monogatari series is the best animated series I think many of the people will skip it but trust me it will get better overtime and you will relate to the series.
I like how everyone is convinced that this is Sengoku Nadeko just after going crazy but in reality there are various things that indicate this is her true self and spoiler warning if you haven't gotten to this arc but if you are watching this opening you probably don't care for soilers it simply have watched it already but I mean for one in this opening you still see she's capable of that kind smile that makes her so lovable but almost immediately you see how she forces herself on to Araragi and when she's seeing everything (zembu) you actually see a rather emotionless expresión on her wich seems to indicate she has a manipulative side to her Sengoku knows she is beautiful she actually treats this as something bad during the anime but with the man she likes she fully expose's her face wears girly dresses and puts him in provocative situations even Shinobu goes and tells her that though she acts like a victim she's just an agresor and I highly doubt that Shinobu was just trying to be a bitch in that scene and let's not forget this is the queen of these monster's we see in the series well former queen also she is more than a thousand years old so I'm fairly confident she can see quite well through people also during this arc it's left quite clear that the so called snake deity wasn't even real it was just an excuse that Sengoku made to finally break her day by day chains showing an outburst at her teacher who pushed all his work on to her and she snapped back at him for it also the akward atmosphere created by the students that tried to curse her this is pretty much slowly revealing the true face of the oh so “sweet" Sengoku Nadeko Now please don't misinterpret I think she's a great character it's just that this kind person pent up a lot of shit but because of her personality she kept it to herself but this was pretty much a kind person finally speaking her mind and showing her true colors and eventually becoming a monster the enemy of the man she loves and really in my opinion this all made her a really cool character that I liked very much Oh.... Wow might have dragged that out farther than intended..... But.... Hey! That's just a theory a anime theory! Yeah I know this doesn't make so many letters that much more bearable... But I had to
Yes, many people still think she's crazy or something, or she's a terrible person, but in reality she's not. While every other character had their conclusion that shows them after their oddity incident, Nadeko didn't appeared that much after her incident and she's the only character who's darker side was shown on much deeper level in comparison to others. Problem is that continuation of her story have nothing to do with Araragi, or rather doesn't involve him, so Nademonogatari has became an Off Season book that who knows when will be animated, or atleast property translated. A few corrections: Shinobu is 598 years old, not thousand. She also doesn't care about anybody else except Koyomi. While she's old, she lived isolated life for most part and in reality she doesn't knows anything about Nadeko on deeper level, Shinobu pretty much corrected herself in conversation with Nadeko. As for person's true colors, it depends on what you mean by that. In real life, deep inside we are all monsters. Our "true selves" are not bound by morals or social standards. Therfore we all have darker side that we usually keeping in check and none of us are truly 100% ourselves. Normally person's psyche is in balance between "true self", social norms and standards we apply on ourselves, individual world view and morals. However, that balance can be shaken or even destroyed as it shown in Nadeko's case. In other words Nadeko has been in two opposite ends of disbalance. Before becoming a God she was all about standards, while her ego/"true self" was suppressed by her. After becoming a God she stopped caring for standards and her look in other people eyes, because they caused her life to be empty, unfulfilling, miserable, and that's when her long suppressed ego/"true self" came out. Our true selves are not purely good or bad. However, we don't hide our real good selves, but hide out bad sides, sometimes even subconsciously, somewhat unaware of how terrible we can be. Nadeko's case is special because unlike others who just hide their bad sides, Nadeko was suppressing "herself" completely in favor of being everyone's good girl. When following standards and expectations has pretty much ruined her life, true self came out, who was tired of being everybody's favorite doll, together with stress and all collected over years frustration. Simply put, before Nadeko became a Goddess she suppressed her ego in favor of social standards and everyone's expectations, after she became a Goddess a complete opposite happened - she discarded all that in favor of her ego. Luckily, hearing words of encouragement was enough to set Nadeko straight to being balanced person with a good heart she always had. After all, her main weaknesses - low self-esteem and zero confidence in herself has been her biggest problems that caused all this.
Man the begining she walking backwards has such a hidden message from loving Koyomi to hating him, this song hits harder after you watch the whole series...
these translations are inaccurate for example the part where she says "your everything" she's really just saying "everything" which is a big difference in meaning
atenahena I have doubts there is such thing as accurate translation to lyrics it would end up often half gibberish when translated word to word and when trying to translate meaning you always make an interpertation. I suppose in this case "Your" is added there to match better with events shown in the opening even If its not part of what they say literally.
when i mean accurate i mean it still holds the same meaning, of course, its not gonna be words for word but the meaning has to remain the same for it to be correct. As for your assumption, if the translator really did blatantly change the lyrics of the song to "better match" things by their own standard then they really shouldn't be translating the in the first place. It's translation not interpretation
the phrases everything, everything, everything are the most important part of the song. It shows the hypocrisy in her thinking where she says "then I only want one thing, everything". By changing it to "your everything" it completely changes here character from wanting everything in the world to actually just wanting one thing. which ruins the point in the first place
Yep, but the high points are notably absent. Also near the beginning, the tune is quite similar in the same, what a masterclass. Definitely my fav monogatari op.
Lenn Agamata.. You are absolutely right.... It feels like she is reversing all the things the things she did in rennai circulation..!!! And it is very sad to see...
no her personality was fake is this song this shows how she really feels, she hates being called cute everyone for example but she never said anything the snake god didn't mess wuth her head he just made her show her true fellings wich made she stab shinobu and araragi
@@Dadangdut33 Think deeper. She became like that because of her life, not rejected love. Her love for Koyomi was a substitution for a dream that she wanted to have just so her life could have meaning, something that kept her away from complete misery. With his rejection and provocations from others all the Nadeko's desperation, stress and negativity that collected over years came out in such breakdown. Because all that time she was pretty much surviving on this one positive feeling of "love", relying on it. Rejection was a last straw. All her life misery that she averted her eyes from, because she had "him", crashed down on Nadeko. All that negativity I mentioned, knowing how worthless and empty her life was, all the expectations that didn't allowed her to be herself - that was a real reason if breakdown. Koyomi, in other hand, just made an enemy out of her when he decided to fight her. Maybe he thought he could handle Nadeko, but ultimately provoking stressed out, depressed, agitated Nadeko that were going through severe existential crisis, was a bad idea. She became a Goddess on impulse, so she could just throw away her problems and escape. It was sort of "whatever happens, but it's better than right now" decision. She would rather be a God than returning to precious lifestyle. By doing that she escaped expectations, stopped caring for opinions and her hidden childish, talkative and expressive side that she was suppressing came out. However, last problem was Koyomi. He, as someone who were very important and prominent in her life, became her enemy, he was a last remaining pain from her old life. So she thought that getting rid of him will make that pain finally go away. As Kaiki mentioned, however, even if she truly started life anew in such way, she would still return to square one, because the fact that she still has nothing and doesn't know what to do remains. Kaiki managed to convince Nadeko to become human because he found her main problem. Love for Koyomi were just keeping her afloat, feeling she created just to find reason to live. Nadeko hated herself, hated her "previous life" and she knows that there's nobody to blame for that but herself, her weakness. She were afraid to do things, try something new because it's didn't suited for what people wanted from her and because Nadeko were always setting herself for failure just by thinking she will fail. Kaiki, gave her courage to live her own life and not be afraid to make decisions. He tells her that failure doesn't mean end of the life, there's no just one reason to live. In the end Kaiki "fixed" Nadeko by pointing her mistakes in her previous chained lifestyle. Pretty much proving that the reason for her psychological breakdown was her whole life. And feeling of love were just her attempt to not fall apart and not much more. Lastly. We will see Nadeko being more her real self in her next story. Nademonogatari. That’s where she truly shows that she's is very sympathetic person. And, personaly, her development there made me proud of her.
So like, I’ve never seen this anime before but I stumbled across this song through suggestion on Spotify, why the hell do I feel so nostalgic for this song to the point of getting a lump in my throat when I’ve never even seen anything related to it before LOL

I love this opening as an animation because it perfectly foreshadows the entire Nadeko Medusa arc. The animation is the complete undoing of the Rennai Circulation animation and this arc is the complete undoing of the character Nadeko Sengoku
They never even really established her character anyway in bake so this is more like a reveal of what her character really was this whole time.
@@VytoneJr They did establish enough. She was a cute shy girl who was in love with Koyomi. She was overly meek and nice, very quiet. A dandere.

It was a definite favorite.

90% of monogatari OPs are better than renai circulation thb
Still my favorite OP in the entire series. It's so good it made me love nadeko.
Holy shit this is catchy af
Mousou >>>> Renai
thank you for uploading this mousou(delusion express).
Great song, makes me want to go out!
This opening makes me feel an emotion that doesn't exist.
Same bro

"I AM SUCH A FAILURE MAN, FACK!!"
Nadeko is my waifu you cant change that
Same
Oy
these translations are inaccurate for example the part where she says "your everything" she's really just saying "everything" which is a big difference in meaning
atenahena I have doubts there is such thing as accurate translation to lyrics it would end up often half gibberish when translated word to word and when trying to translate meaning you always make an interpertation. I suppose in this case "Your" is added there to match better with events shown in the opening even If its not part of what they say literally.
when i mean accurate i mean it still holds the same meaning, of course, its not gonna be words for word but the meaning has to remain the same for it to be correct. As for your assumption, if the translator really did blatantly change the lyrics of the song to "better match" things by their own standard then they really shouldn't be translating the in the first place. It's translation not interpretation
the phrases everything, everything, everything are the most important part of the song. It shows the hypocrisy in her thinking where she says "then I only want one thing, everything". By changing it to "your everything" it completely changes here character from wanting everything in the world to actually just wanting one thing. which ruins the point in the first place
atenahena That would be your opinion, not to mention both "everything" and "your everything" are just as much "one thing" in this context.
You obviously are monolingual, so please don't talk about stuff you don't know anything about.
Never realised how at the end, the tune to Renai Circulation plays (starting at about 1:18)
Yep, but the high points are notably absent. Also near the beginning, the tune is quite similar in the same, what a masterclass. Definitely my fav monogatari op.
Never seen the show, this song came in randomly on spotify. I love it so much
Maybe you could like it, it's monogatari series and you should watch it in emission order, though i warn you there is a lot of talking and loli stuff
You'll also never look at a toothbrush the same way again after watching this anime
Im here for a guy who was defeated by a wooden door
"Knock, knock!"
"Who's there?"
"THE DOOR!"
The first 2 sentences literally describe the whole arc
I love how in the subtitles of English and Romaji, the dots of i and j (apparently called tittle), are hearts.
Vegan: Renai Circulation
Carnivore: Mousou Express
Every time i watch this im getting goosebumps
Me alegro de a ver encontrado todos los monogatari :')
It's very sad really who feels sorry for her renai circulation says about her love now she's just confused and doesn't know what to do
Lenn Agamata.. You are absolutely right.... It feels like she is reversing all the things the things she did in rennai circulation..!!! And it is very sad to see...
Lenn Agamata have you watched the series?
LMAOO
You haven't watched the series don't ya
no her personality was fake is this song this shows how she really feels, she hates being called cute everyone for example but she never said anything the snake god didn't mess wuth her head he just made her show her true fellings wich made she stab shinobu and araragi
You haven't even watched dthe anime... She's not confused in this opening... This op shows her true personality...
もうそうがね ぼうそうする
ちょうっときゅうに とびのっていまあいにいきたいの
いいわけとか りゆうだとか めんどくさいな
うんめいだから しかたがないよね
かなわなければ このこいは
えいえんにさめる ことはないの
なにもしらない めをとじて
かわいいままで ほしにねがった
おもいどおり にならない
せかいなら もういらない
ほしいのは ひとつだけ
ぜんぶ ぜんぶ ぜんぶ ぜんぶ
おもいどおり にならない
せかいとか ありえない
ほしいのは ひとつだけ
ぜんぶ ぜんぶ ぜんぶ ぜんぶ
ドキドキ
Is this suposed to be the lyrics?
I like how not knowing abt the anime, you will never guess she becomes a crazed, Country-busting Demi-God
I really like how this song paralles the previous renai circulation but makes it darker
the best track in the series no COMPETITION
kami wa ita 🐍🛐
Zenbu is now my favourite word
I'll be naming my kid zenbu whenever he/she arrives
i though i was renai circulation fan boy but i advance on the anime and here i am

platinum disco is still best for me tho
Derplordington the kaiki op

Using hiragana to write Express in Japanese. A brilliant genius
Mousou Ekusupuresu xd
Yep, hiragana is easier to learn and express than kanji, IDK about romaji
@@yvonne3745 Express is suposed to be write in *Katakana*
@@MorphRed but hiragana is so much easier :((((
@@yvonne3745 Yeah but Katakana is easy too it's just Hiragana written differently for english word
This is soo sad.. But that anime's the BEST !! Gotta rewatch everything from scratch three more times
When i watch the arc it's really sad because never knew that she would be like this
Like what? Imperfect, human being with emotions and her own problems?
@@One-EyedDragon i mean it's kind of fucked up that she became like that because of her rejected love
@@Dadangdut33
Think deeper. She became like that because of her life, not rejected love. Her love for Koyomi was a substitution for a dream that she wanted to have just so her life could have meaning, something that kept her away from complete misery. With his rejection and provocations from others all the Nadeko's desperation, stress and negativity that collected over years came out in such breakdown. Because all that time she was pretty much surviving on this one positive feeling of "love", relying on it. Rejection was a last straw. All her life misery that she averted her eyes from, because she had "him", crashed down on Nadeko. All that negativity I mentioned, knowing how worthless and empty her life was, all the expectations that didn't allowed her to be herself - that was a real reason if breakdown.
Koyomi, in other hand, just made an enemy out of her when he decided to fight her. Maybe he thought he could handle Nadeko, but ultimately provoking stressed out, depressed, agitated Nadeko that were going through severe existential crisis, was a bad idea.
She became a Goddess on impulse, so she could just throw away her problems and escape. It was sort of "whatever happens, but it's better than right now" decision. She would rather be a God than returning to precious lifestyle. By doing that she escaped expectations, stopped caring for opinions and her hidden childish, talkative and expressive side that she was suppressing came out. However, last problem was Koyomi. He, as someone who were very important and prominent in her life, became her enemy, he was a last remaining pain from her old life. So she thought that getting rid of him will make that pain finally go away.
As Kaiki mentioned, however, even if she truly started life anew in such way, she would still return to square one, because the fact that she still has nothing and doesn't know what to do remains. Kaiki managed to convince Nadeko to become human because he found her main problem. Love for Koyomi were just keeping her afloat, feeling she created just to find reason to live. Nadeko hated herself, hated her "previous life" and she knows that there's nobody to blame for that but herself, her weakness. She were afraid to do things, try something new because it's didn't suited for what people wanted from her and because Nadeko were always setting herself for failure just by thinking she will fail. Kaiki, gave her courage to live her own life and not be afraid to make decisions. He tells her that failure doesn't mean end of the life, there's no just one reason to live.
In the end Kaiki "fixed" Nadeko by pointing her mistakes in her previous chained lifestyle. Pretty much proving that the reason for her psychological breakdown was her whole life. And feeling of love were just her attempt to not fall apart and not much more.
Lastly. We will see Nadeko being more her real self in her next story. Nademonogatari. That’s where she truly shows that she's is very sympathetic person. And, personaly, her development there made me proud of her.
Underrated! Best one!!
i feel bad for every childhood friend in every anime
Onodera from Nisekoi deserved better
I love Nadekoo
囮=囗+化
囗 means enclosure ←国(country)simplification
化 means turn into
化物 means Monster
囮 means decoy
No matter how lyrics are.I can't stop listening it.
This song reminds me of a wooden door, dont really know why
Sorry guys, I can't .. shit
So like, I’ve never seen this anime before but I stumbled across this song through suggestion on Spotify, why the hell do I feel so nostalgic for this song to the point of getting a lump in my throat when I’ve never even seen anything related to it before LOL
