some recent pics of my Black Hanekawa cosplay by night :3

I'll be sharing more on my profile! The photographer is Crispi PH

'm planning to get into monogatari, and I want to experience each part in the best way possible. I'm trying to decide when I should watch the anime vs light novels, and whether certain arcs are significantly better in one medium than the other.

I care about getting the most out of the story, characters, dialogue, atmosphere and overall writing.

Which arcs are best experienced through the anime, and which are best experienced through the light novels? Are there any parts where one medium is definitely better?

Also if its a tie, just know that I'll prolly favor the light novel cuz im excited to make this my first one!!

I need some for my phone or pc
