While you would think Monogatari Series‘ protagonist Koyomi Araragi would get a character video before anyone else, that is not the case.
Instead, the ongoing Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season released videos for most of the main girls in the series before him — proving “ladies first” seems to be the mantra over at production studio Shaft.
This week, however, we finally have a Koyomi Araragi character video featuring a monologue from the part human part vampire third year high school student talking about how he isn’t special, and he may not have been chosen, but you can’t be him. Only he can be him.
Koyomi goes on to say he doesn’t need to be liked, and doesn’t mind if he is hated, all he needs to be is strong so he can protect those that depend on him.
They can then protect him in return.
Watch the new Koyomi Araragi character video down below. It features the voice of actor Hiroshi Kamiya, who has superbly played Koyomi from the very beginning.
