Sometimes, sure, you can pull it off because there isn't very much text, but some of them - like the ones in the first minute or so of ep01 of Bakemonogatari, or the synopses that accompany the titlecard in each episode of Nisemonogatari ( example) - literally cannot be read in the time that they are on screen.Īnd us English readers have it easy, compared to people who have to read the original Japanese! It turns out that all the kanji are written using kyuujitai ("old character forms"), which were displaced by shinjitai ("new character forms") well over 50 years ago. It isn't always possible to read all of the text while the anime is rolling by at 24 frames per second. I would be surprised if such a thing existed. Preface: I am unaware of any "official position" about how to read the split-second text screens that occur in the Monogatari Series.
