First season of the Monogatari Series, part 1/6. Contains the arcs Hitagi Crab, Mayoi Snail, Suruga Monkey, Nadeko Snake, and Tsubasa Cat from the Bakemonogatari light novels. Thanks to Meme Oshino, Koyomi Araragi, a high school student, is able to remain a human after coming across a female vampire... However, since the incident, Koyomi seems to meet girls who have an apparition-related issue. Hitagi Senjougahara doesn’t weigh anything, Suruga Kanbaru’s right arm becomes like that of a monkey’s, and a young girl, Mayoi, cannot find her way home no matter how many times she tries. Koyomi, a Mr. Nice Guy, ends up helping each and every girl solve her problem with the help of Meme Oshino. (Source: Aniplex) Note: Only the first 12 episodes were broadcast on television; the remaining three episodes were distributed on the anime's website between November 3, 2009, and June 25, 2010.

Words can't begin to describe how brilliant Bakemonogatari is. The writing is fantastic and thought-provoking, and the combination of cinematography, sound design, art design, animation... basically all the components of anime are utilized to their fullest to create a compelling experience that is a…
Read full review on AniList →There’s some debate about whether or not Bakemonogatari (pr. bah-keh-moh-no-gah-tah-re) is an ecchi-harem. A mere six seconds into the first episode, one of the female leads is introduced with a panty shot; and several shots of panties, *****, and butts are dispersed throughout the series. Aside fro…

With its strange blend of ridiculous humour, compelling themes, and complex characters, the Monogatari series is a smart, unique, and unforgettable gem of a franchise. And this is the show that started it all. Welcome to the beautifully bizarre art house student’s fever dream that is Bakemonogatari.…

Read full review on AniList →# __Prior to watching Monogatari__ The Monogatari Series in my eyes has always been a fascinating franchise that I know little to nothing other than the extremely "perverted" nature of the anime.

Read full review on AniList →Bakemonogatari is the start of one of the most unique franchises that can be found in anime. The thing that is immediately recognizable in this is how striking the style of it is. The first minute of the first episode has more interesting presentation than most anime can ever dream of pulling off. T…

Read full review on AniList →I’m gonna be honest, never in a million years did I think I was gonna be tackling Bakemonogatari. This was essentially what made Studio Shaft into the powerhouse that they are today.

Read full review on AniList →Before watching, I felt like I already knew what was coming, but there is quite more to it and it has been an enjoyable ride throughout. Bakemonogatari centers around Koyomi Araragi, a high school student, who first comes of as a generally lazy and lackluster type of person, and his journey of help…

Read full review on AniList →Bakemonogatari, porte d'entrée selon la vision de l'auteur des LN, n'est pas le genre d'anime qu'on pense. Volatile, en perpétuel mutation, il ne nous tend jamais la main pour aider à le comprendre : rien n'est acquis, rien n'est montré, tout est suggéré. L'histoire semble prendre pied dans un uni…

Read full review on AniList →Just a fair warning that I may be very biased in this particular review. The entire Monogatari Series franchise means more to me than I ever expected it could and as such I'm likely to exaggerate how good it is and gush about it a lot so take this with a grain of salt like you should any review real…
