About Owari S2 and ZokuOwari..

I got a few question that im not sure if i just missed the explanation.

1.) How exactly the mirror world happened? Like i know Araragi had regret of all the past events etc, but i feel like they needed to explain it more. Like the whole thing just happened? So anyone from Monogatari universe can just pull the mirror world if the have enough regret in life?

2.) How exactly Ougi fixed the mirror world? She just had this blackhole disk that absorb 20% light that she hid on her chest?

3.) During Owari, didn't the old school got burned to oblivion? Why nobody questioning it suddenly exist again? Or is it just Shaft style of exaggerating thing and the school is actually not in that bad condition?

Sorry for bad English uwu

Do we know if the Monster Off and Nademonogatari are going to be released in the US/AU/UK?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone knew what the situation was with the Final Season of Monogatari and whether or not it'll make it to the UK as I've been steadily picking up the entries of the series with the intention of watching it all. From what I understand the Supplier/Publisher/Distributor in Europe is MVM and they've handled every series of Monogatari over here and from what I can tell this series has very short print runs and if that makes it sound like picking up the entries were difficult... well actually it's been kind of fun, while limited the fact most of these series get both a DVD and Blu-Ray release at least means there are options. I assumed Nisemonogatari and Nekomonogatari Black were going to be particularly difficult to find owing to the fact they are out of print but thankfully it didn't take too long.

My intention is to pick up every series of Monogatari and most of the others seem fairly straight forward to hunt down but as the title suggests do we know if the last series is getting any sort of distribution I know it's been on CR for a while now. I really do feel there's a lot to like about this series, I'm all for a series with psychological depth and character investment Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue and Persona just to name a few so I hope I can enjoy it.

I appreciate any insight anyone can provide.

First sentence in Bakemonogatari

So, last week I started learning Japanese. Three days ago, I found a brush pen at a local stationery store and thought it might make learning how to draw kana a bit more fun. It's also my first time using one, but it's been easier than I expected.

Today I decided to find out what the first sentence in the Monogatari books was to write it down as a challenge and, well, here it is :)
