>I don't know how to write a good mystery, so let me just take my story and mix up the chronology, in order to make artificial mystery.
Why do people keep praising hack writers (or directors of adaptations) who keep using this shitty trope to hide the fact that they are unable to write an engaging mystery?

Name 3 engaging mysteries

Monogatari on top of that use complex quotes in dialogues to appear intelligent. Actually the dialogues are pretty simple with no profund meanings, but strange metaphors and such cover that up

These aren't mysteries, or trying to be mysteries.

Yet they are aired out of order to create pointless questions for the viewers.

Haruhi isn't a fucking mystery you autist

why was ougi a male? she didnt change into one in the last movie

Its called world building without forced scenes to introduce mechanic you retard

Haruhi and Monogatari were just aired/adapted out of chronological order, the LN's weren't written like that.

Knk top kek

>References are pretentious if the dialogue itself is meaningless
>implying meaningless things are bad
Monogatari isn't really trying to appear meaningful or deep when it's simply Nisio having fun while writing bullshit to entertain himself and, secondly, his audiences. Pretentious are the fans which try to see it as something more than that.

This would be bad if it were done but since you didn't give any examples it's hard to judge if you have a legitimate complaint.

In my experience, mixing up the chronology is done to create dramatic interest much as a mystery story plot does by itself. Therefore, if you have one, you *won't* have the other.

The main appeal of the series is the complicated and captivating resolutions, not when nisio is trying to bs through everything. He knows that we know.

Look at knk
The first 4 episodes were in anachronical order, but then the last 3 arent, the release order of the films are in chapter orders in Nasu's novel.
Since in the first 4 movies all themes and narratives are explained, the rest aren't needed to be out of order. This made the grand final climax scene really fucking impactful even if it wasnt "brilliant".

Hanamonogatari still takes place after zoku owari.

im surprised you didn't have baccano on there or jinrui

>didn't give any examples
Pic related.

It's a hack way to create mystery, where none exists, by moving pieces of exposition or just straight up events further into the story, but leaving the aftermath in. It's not as rewarding as an actual mystery, but it's more like ''oh, here is that missing piece of information''.

>mix up the chronology
I've only read the boogiepop series with this writing style and it's pretty well done there. I don't know about those novels/show you posted tho.

yeah pretentious brainlets love this. HxH does that a lot too

>Implying newfag will ever watch anything that isn't mainstream or popular.

Both of those are just as entry level as the shit in the OP.

I have seen both of them, but I didn't include them because I forgot about them. And besides, Jinrui was a comedy, so it didn't matter much and Baccano/durarara are well done because they mostly follow different perspectives on the same event. That is a much better technique than throwing chapter 1 in chapter 4's place and calling it a day.

>artificial mystery
Is this the new forced animation

Sauce for the 1st one?

how does it have complex quotes and strange metaphors?

i know. but she didnt turn male in zoku owari, just cosplayed

OP just prefers his mysteries natural, organic, free-range, and gluten free with no artificial colors and flavors

Monogatari's chronology is about thematic progression and has nothing to do with mystery.

KnK is mystery?

It doesn't have metaphors but all of these could be said in a much easier way. Half of the text is just there to make it look more complex than it actually is.

>filtered
Literal brainlet.

the monogatari books and manga are pretty straight forward and they explain almost everything rlly well. the anime just makes everything vague and whimsical but that just makes it frusterating
