Anyone who loves the Monogatari series would love this anime. Im not skilled enough to write a review without spoilers but I will try to minimise the spoilers as much as possible The plot is about Makoto Niwa a high schooler due to his parents circumstances he had to move to live with his aunt. There he discovers that his self proclaimed living alone aunt actually has a daughter Erio Towa. Erio suffers from amnesia a few years ago the reason is unknown she claims that she was abducted by aliens but Makoto denies it. The plot can best be sumerised as the boy who cried wolfs lie is the reason for the wolfs appearance From the starting episodes we are lead by Makoto that what he thinks and says is the absolute reality for the anime. Show me proof if you want me to believe you can be used to describe how Makoto chooses to believe or not at something. And is by that mindset that he denies anything that cant be proven. By having a denial mindset at start when doing anything he is usually quick to give up on most things. He believes he is right because if you cant prove that something does exist then it does not exist even though that is not actually proving that that something doesnt exist. Later on as the frames pass by and the viewer jumps from episode to episode the viewer will start to doubt Makotos logical thinking. As Makoto meets more people and is presented with the belief of aliens by them he still denies those beliefs. However he will later on realise that the boy who cried wolf is actually himself and that his black lie will shatter all his beliefs pride and ideology Anyone who loves the Monogatari series will love this anime as well as it has Studio Shafts unique presentation style when it comes to portraying characters expressions ideology personality and beliefs. This is especially crucial for this anime as it relies on our main character to get us deceived Although in the end as expected for a 13 episode anime with such a large plot it did not explained every important detail to us but I still love it Read the below part if youve already watched the anime as it contains spoilers
