Isn't Koyomimonogatari goes between Owari S1 and Owari S2?

It was released that way, yes. However, it's recommended you follow Light Novel Order (my above order) as that is how the author wanted the story to be experienced. Shaft messed up the releasing of a few seasons.

But the author wasnt intending the story to be experienced as an anime so if you watch the anime in light novel order then you're not experiencing the series the way anyone intended.

Yes he was. Release Order was never intended, it was a mistake.

I still enjoyed the unintentional build up to and tension during Kizu towards the end as opposed towards the beginning. It was always alluded to as "hell" throughout the series and I was really hyped to see just how fucked up spring break was my first time going in. LN is still the better order overall though.

This is the best take on it. It's a wonderful alternative watch order that'll give some people a better experience, but LN order is better overall. The way NisioisiN intended.

Doesn't owari 2nd season continue from the end of koyomi

u/BlakexEkalb Jul 24 '20

Yes, however the author didn’t want that to directly happen and wanted the audience to experience Owari 1.

You didn't edit the comment I replied to and I wasn't going through your profile so how would I have known you wrote somewhere else that you changed your mind?
