[続・終物語]

Starring: Hiroshi Kamiya, Emiri Kato, Eiri Kitamura
Episodes: 6

Synopsis:
Facing a crisis of identity following his high school graduation, Araragi finds himself pulled into a mirror world.

Impressions:
Fans of the Monogatari Series are likely to welcome just about any continuation of the story. I would compare this to the second Urusei Yatsura move, Beautiful Dreamer, in terms of overall feel and how it plays with your expectations. In fact, I think the original airing of this as a single theatrical feature may be the best way to watch it. We get an interesting alternative look at the characters and how they relate to Araragi. I never fail to be struck at the juxtaposition of the cerebral philosophizing and sophomoric fanservice. I almost feel that it's part of the mind game. Anyway, it's a decent ride and it ends on a nice note. If you're a Monogatari fan, definitely give it a watch.
