More like monthly anime amirite HUEUHEUEHUEHEUEHEUHE

I won't be taking part in this one cause I'm an awful person and can't manage time well. I'm thinking we should make these Two Week Watches, has a little alliteration and takes a little pressure off of it.

Quite an unorthodox take on animation that will appeal to many but may unappease to some due to unknown transition factors that can confuse it's viewers. With that knowing whichever may fancy, flashy and odd take they throw at you in flowing the story, it takes standstills to express it's well thought out brilliant narrative and script, which is one of this anime's strongest factors.The story can get complicated but always leaves a trail to follow, overall the characters are interesting even with those who don't speak or don't have much of a line. The characters can tend to contrast out of their environment due to, yes, a very odd take on background progession that makes this anime truly aspiring.

Overall, really liked it.
8/10

Bakemonogatari is a top-quality art form, and I firmly believe that high-profile artists, filmmakers, etc. would appreciate that Bakemonogatari is the epitome of modern anime counterculture (Suzumiya Haruhi being the mainstream crystallization of modern anime). However, you have to be looking for the right thing to enjoy this anime. If the anime you typically enjoy are Naruto, TTGL, etc. (not that they aren't fantastic either), Bakemonogatari is perhaps not for you. This series is really for people who have watched a lot of anime, perhaps even an otaku, and were drawn to the more sophisticated, post-modern aspect of the genre as a whole. It is, in a way, analogous to how Mozart is universally loved (for a good reason!), while composers like Hindemith appeal strongly to those who have developed a taste in classical music. I personally pick this series as the number one anime of all time (along with NGE) because it had all I was looking for: deep, subtle characters, platonic romance, somewhat surreal atmosphere, idealization only possible in anime, wit, and that pinch of sociopathy shown in each character, as are present in every human being. There isn't one thing about this anime that is the "hook" (though, if I had to pick one, I'd go with SENJOUGAHARA FASCINATION). Rather, every aspect of it plays its role perfectly to create a gestalt whole. Oh, and by the way, if you're like me and are desperately looking for non-moe, non-loli (getting harder and harder to find) anime made in 21st century, welcome to Bakemonogatari. This series is for mature viewers looking for a subtle, yet decisively anime experience.
