During the opening song 'Kogarashi Sentiment' (The fourth opening in
Monogatari Season 2), the video continually switches from one art style (the
normal Monogatari type art), to another one (which seems like a dated art
style).

Is this a homage to another artist/company who would be known for this style?

The style seems quite familiar, but that could just be the dated feel of the
art.

Is this Monogatari opening a take on another artists' style?


The OP is not a parody of one series per say, but reminiscent the stereotypes
of 80s/90s anime themes in general.

_Kindaichi Case Files_

_Cardcaptor Sakura_

One of the most notable parts (with the hat flying off) somewhat resembles
_Kimagure Orange Road_ and/or the _Ranma 1/2_ OAV OP "Love Panic" (Koi da!
Panikku):

Some sequences are a bit reminiscent of the _Golden Boy_ OP:
