Monogatari Filler List
Monogatari has no filler episodes: all 97 are canon, checked episode by episode below against the MyAnimeList community record. There is nothing to skip, so you can watch straight through. The watch-order guide has the full episode list and a free tracker.
Filler counts are shown per entry and never averaged across entries: parallel continuities and spinoffs are different shows, and blending them produces a number that describes neither.

Frequently asked questions
Does Monogatari have filler episodes?
No. All 97 tracked episodes are canon, checked one by one against the MyAnimeList community record. 3 episodes are marked recap, which retells earlier events rather than adding new story.
Can I skip any Monogatari episodes?
Only the 3 recap episodes marked in the table below, and even those are optional rather than skippable filler - they summarise what you have already watched. Everything else carries the story.
How long does it take to watch all of Monogatari?
All 97 episodes run roughly 37 hours at 23 minutes each. Since none of it is filler, that is the real runtime rather than a padded one.
