So I watched till Nadeko Medusa in the given order-
Mayoi Jiangshi(S2-Kabukimono)
Hanamono
Nadeko Medusa(S2-Otorimono)
In 1st, Arargi and Shinobu tried to save Hachikikuji, but couldn't and hence came back)
In 2nd he suddenly became older, has graduated and has a car.
In 3rd we went back again to his time before graduation and is on the verge of death along with Shinobu)
I am getting confused how this is going?
Is this actually the correct order?
If yes, please tell from when will the timeline get back to normal?

Yes.

Uh , never... ?

In case you still didn't noticed it , the Monogatari Series use an anachronical storytelling , each part going back and forth in the overall story , and representing a small piece of a giant puzzle.
It's totally normal for you to be confused.
You have to try to deduce which part goes where. (Re-watching or reading wikis may greatly help...)

now you need to be on pair with one piece, you can't understand Monogatari if you are not on pair with one piece

I feel bad for you that somebody deceived you like that...
I hope you recover soon

Monogatari is well-known for having a non-chronogical story. By monogatari s2, you should have witnessed that.

That's what has made me post the topic here...
If I remember correctly, The first season was not so like jumping back and forth that frequently. I remember only Kizu movies as a prequel and else everything was in order.
But from this season it is moving a lot.

Yeah, but I'm really surprised you didn't know how chronologicaly complicated the monogatari series are, even by just watching s1, I tought maybe you would have stumbled on some anitubers or Idk talking about that topic. Personally, I didn't really care about the timeline of the events, I was more interested in the anime for its short, but incredible arcs.

Bake is the introduction , so it didn't started the anachronical shenanigans right away , probably to not confuse too much the readers/viewers.
But just after , you have Kizu , which happens before Bake , followed by Nise happening after Bake this time , and then Neko Kuro , which happens between Kizu and Bake...
It already was not straight forward , you just didn't realized it. (It's also more noticeable with 2nd Season , since there is a lot of Arcs with a vast gap in the timeline)

Well no I did not get it through the first season cause a start and then showing its backstory is pretty normal to me...
And the info from other sources about complications, well when I was given the order from a forum I thought if it is the order it wouldn't be so complicated timeline wise ..
But yeah it doesn't bother me with the story as I get almost everything that is being shown. Just was a bit doubtful that so many leaps are happening every arc.

After coming back from the prequel with Nise, Neko did not cause any trouble in understanding for me cause I understood it immediately that it was between Kizu and Bake cause the conversation was the exact same between Araragi and Hanekawa, like the one where she made Araragi promise not to tell anyone who had hit her if I remember correctly.

So it was for me like Intro, Backstory again continue the intro and then again backstory
Easy to understand cause it goes back and forth to same things or almost same.
But in 2nd as you said, it's keeping too many ends open at the end of every arc, and after starting new arc, it starts from a totally new time

you'll understand eventually. Just go with release date order and you'll connect the dots.
you can re-watch in chronological order after completing the series if you feel like.

Here's a breakdown for a timeline. Read at own risk for spoilers related to it. Also I obviously did not make this, just used it myself after finding it on Google.

You can find the chronological order of the monogatari series online, but it’s better appreciated if you see it in the intended order

Yeah I just want it to confirm which part is after which...
I am watching it in order intended only..
I found some great foreshadowing like in Hitagi end....
Kaiki says Talking to the ghost friend of Suruga will help in future maybe for him to contact Suruga😂
I mean he did the exact thing in Hana...
Love it
Thanks

Hanamonogatari after or before Zoku Owarimonogatari

Before, even though I know it happens at the end but since the intended order is that Hana should be watch way before so I followed the original order and watched Hana before
Also I haven't completed it...
And since Zoku is last in the intended order, this I haven't seen it yet

Never it jumps a lot and as others have said before it jumps Alot in time gives you what you need when you need it there’s 3 main seasons for a reason since those focus on that part of story

I actually just finished the series less than a month ago, and all I can say is just don't expect everything to be in the right order. Pay attention to when each part is happening. In Hana, it's after graduation, some parts are before bake, and some parts are in the "present"
