Alright, so I've been watching Bakemonogatari, and have Nisemonogatari ready to watch, but I'm not sure if this is the correct order and where neko comes in. Also, Kizu, but I hear that hasn't released yet. So if someone could be so kind, it'd be much appreciated to tell me the correct order. I'm already 12 episodes into Bake, so I hope I didn't mess the order up too much already.

Bakemonogatari is technically the first of the bunch to air, with Nisemono being a sequel and Nekomono: Kuro being a prequel (same with Kizumono whenever it comes out).
It's best to start off with Bakemono and then Nisemono (which continues the events of Bakemono). You could watch Nekomono afterward, though you might be better off waiting on Kizumono whenever it comes out since it takes place before the events of Nekomono. |

Look, when an anime is still coming out, but it's coming out in a weird order of events, just watch it as it's been released. Everyone else not reading the novels (the overwhelmingly majority of us) is on the exact same page, so you're not having a uniquely bad or weird experience that reveals information in a wrong way. Don't worry about having to hold off to watch this or that in this order, just watch it.

That was what I was planning to do  . Enjoying Bake very much, and don't really want to have to wait for Kizu to come out to see Neko.

Still up in the air. It was announced in 2011, but then got delayed "past 2012". |

^Don't forget the upcoming "second season", which is actually the 3rd TV anime (WTF?
 ) which looks like you'd watch it after Nisemonogatari I guess.

It's called the "second season" because it will contain the second parts of everyone's arcs. As in, each girl gets another arc again, a second arc for each. While it was the second television Anime, Nisemonogatariis essentially part of the first season (by the logic they are using) because it is still introducing characters, namely the sisters. So it does make some sort of logical sense to call the upcoming season the second rather than the third. They're just using the criteria of stories and not broadcast blocks. |

That's if you want it chronological. But I'd recommend against it. Just watch it in the order it was made. Simple to do and it means you don't have to wait for Kizumonogatari in order to watch it in complete chronological order. Also, I get the feeling that Nekomonogatari was intended to be watched after Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari. Especially with the way Shinobu is handled. Once everything is out, then watch it all chronologically. |

Like most people, I also recommend watching it by the release order. I get the feeling that watching it this way is much more enjoyable than watching it in chronological order.
So yeah, Bakemonogatari --> Nisemonogatari --> Nekomonogatari --> whatever comes out next. By the way, since we're talking about -monogatari series... Am I the only one who thinks that Nisemonogatari was much weaker than Bakemonogatari? I was left kinda disappointed and didn't even check Nekomonogatari afterwards.

Kizumonogatari is a prequel to bakemonogatari so the sequence should be kizumonogatari first then bakemonogatari but the release date stated that bakemonogatari should be watched first Kizumonogatari maybe a movie showing how Araragi gained his vampiric powers from Shinobu "Kiss-Shot Acerola Orion Heart Under Blade" Oshino |

Thinking a little I agree even more with the release order, Nekomonogatari kind of through you into the deep end with his sisters, while they make only small appearances in the Bakemonogatari, and get a proper introduction in Nisemonogatari.
Then there is the very end of Nekomonogatari, that was made specifically for people familiar with Bakemonogatari, and then a huge teaser for Bakemonogatari 2. The series loves to drip feed information rather then be a straight explanation, which in my opinion was a decision to leave the audience wondering what is the deal with Shinobu through Bakemonogatari, give her a strong appearance in Nisemonogatari so we know she has character, then tease us heavily about what happened in Nekomonogatari, so that Kizumonogatari will be a huge revelation. After all the very beginning of Bakemonogatari included a huge teasing flashes of what happened to our hero. |

Maybe, but SHAFT Logic =/= My Logic. I find it needlessly complex, but it's not really a big deal. |
