The Monogatari Series, based on Nisio Isin's light novels, is legendary for its avant-garde animation by Studio SHAFT and its heavy focus on rapid-fire dialogue and puns. Memes surrounding the series often revolve around its eccentric characters—like Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino—and its distinctive visual style, characterized by frequent text cards and dramatic head tilts. From the infamous toothbrush scene to the Platinum Mad dance, the series has provided a wealth of templates that fans use to satirize the complexity of anime tropes, the absurdity of the watch order, or the philosophical depth hidden within supernatural encounters. Its unique aesthetic makes it a staple for high-effort anime meme culture.
