The camera angles are really annoying but the rest of the weird art style is interesting. Reminds me of tatami galaxy.
Its also a lot like muishishi in terms of weird magical creatures creating weird magical puzzles. And there's a lot about Japanese. These elements I don't like.
Character interactions, dialogue and some of the jokes are good. That's the main reason i ... read more

"Now is this super hipster-popular or not? When creating this list I slowly realized that I never really dug into the anime-review scene.
Bakemonogatari makes no sense and I got a headache after watching 5 episodes in a row.
But I am a hobby artist, I like to think that I have an eye for visual art, and in Bakemonogatari, every single frame is a piece of deliberately made art. Not just art work for background or something, no, really art. Combined with the fantastic soundtrack and the crazy chara"

"My take: Bakemonogatari is a Scfi, super natural, drama anime, and warning it can get a little boring at times; however, visually it is one of the best animes I have ever seen.

"This anime is something special. Not just concerning the wicked plot and characters but especially because of it's presentation. It's one big piece of art and the minimalistic music adds a lot to it. Most of the time the events remain psychologically themed, with a huge amount of fanservice, but then there is suddenly a quick, intense fight that totally catches you off guard. Altogether it's ingeniously beautiful as well as hilarious and thrilling!

They seem to have a new OP and ED per episode so that's good.
"So, at best it can be seen as an interesting series of smart gags and wordplays in a psychedelic setting of artistic expression. At worse it can be seen as a big pile of weirdness that never seem” read more

"SHAFT has done it again - turned an unoriginal story into true art, with very interesting characters. The dialogues and interaction between them is something you rarely find in other anime."
