The official website for the Monogatari Series anime revealed a countdown featuring the letter “Y” on Wednesday. The countdown is set to conclude on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. Japan Time (5:00 a.m. EDT).
This follows Aniplex’s previous countdown in January, which revealed the letters “O” and “M” and subsequently announced the anime adaptation of NisiOisin’s Off Season and Monster Season books within the Monogatari series for release this year.
NisiOisin’s novel series began with the two-volume Bakemonogatari story in 2006, serving as the foundation for the first anime adaptation in 2009. The “final season” concluded with Zoku Owarimonogatari in September 2014, teasing “Monogatari Series, Next Season Tsugimonogatari.”
