Just as a reminder, Crunchyroll *STILL* hasn't made the final three episodes of Bakemonogatari available on their U.S. site, meaning it's not legally available to watch here.
Thank goodness I caught it on Amazon back in the day. It was the series that really bit me with the anime bug. And Funimation offered all 15 episodes before they closed it down. To recap: The first 3/4s of the first, foundational season of the Monogatari saga available to watch on Crunchyroll? Yes. The final fourth? No. It's a helluva thing. |

There's always more Monogatari to tell!
Also, the Nadeko and Ononoki rap gives me life. |

those are Blu-Ray exclusive episodes. Same reason you can't legally stream Kill la Kill's episode 25 or the Director's Cut version of Gurren Lagann's episode 6: Aniplex wants you to proof you are not a stream-only peasant,but a real Monogatari fan and buy those overpriced and long out of print BDs that are not even avaliable in most countries that stream the series to begin with. Now that's a smart business decision |

johnnysasaki opines:
They used to be on Amazon. They were available on Funimation until the day that service closed. They were also on another streaming service--Netflix?--but I can't remember which. These aren't OVAs or bonus material. They literally wrap up the first Tsubasa Hanekawa arc, and sans them the season, which is the foundation of the whole thing, is incomplete.It's a terrible exclusion.

Sony figures that pretty much everyone who wants to see those 3 episodes has seen them by now so they wouldn't get very many viewers by licensing them. Licensing older and/or smaller hits that lots of anime fans have heard of but few have seen is cheaper and will attract more viewers. But yes, this is yet another example for why losing Funimation, who also had distribution deals with Warner Bros (VRV) and Hulu really stinks. |
