Bakemonogatari is terrible. It's got everything I dislike about bad anime crammed into one series.

Can't we all just get along and agree that K-ON is the best anime of all time

You should definitely, maybe watch Monogatari.

How much avant garde pedophilia is actually in there? I'll watch it if it's only a little. Hopefully people like it despite it and not because of it.

Anyhow, my opinion mostly coincides with this guy's review http://myanimelist.net/profile/renahhchen/reviews (it's a bit clumsy and the author's clearly a teenager, so beware): (is there a way to hide the whole thing under a single spoiler button?) quote:

Also please tell us what you thought of every other episode. The backpack girl is actually a 20 year old ghost and the blond girl is a centuries old vampire. If anything it amplifies the enjoyability. Grouchio fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Dec 9, 2014 |

There's not much pedophilia that I remember, but there's some overt sister complex poo poo going on in the second season that dances the line. That's a terrible defense of course, but I was able to ignore the ![]()

The sad truth. There's really only one scene in S2 that made me wonder what the director was thinking, but there's plenty of that very japanese sister complex to go around in S2. The other seasons haven't had that problem.

It's a cool anim but I'm not gonna say there isn't some really indefendably sketchy poo poo in there.

Truthfully though I simply didn't find it very funny or visually appealing (and what else is it trying to do?) I dislike fan-service but not to the degree that it would stop me from watching something.

Nisemonogatari is the height of "This is beautiful but hosed up that it's supposed to be erotic." It's basically an entire season of fanservice episodes. It does introduce important characters though, and Monogatari Second Season is a whole 2-cour thing that's really good and (as far as I remember) not skeevy at all. e: And I don't watch the show because it's "lol so ironic," I watch it because it's like one long rapidfire vaudeville routine. With occasional Dragon Ball Z battles. HellCopter fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 10, 2014 |

Kubla Kahn, funnily enough what you posted is roughly the impression I already had of the show, just from hearing about it and watching some clips. Will still try to watch it, because... Well, I watch anime, what else do you expect?

Nishio Ishin sold the most non-paperback books in Japan in 2014, which is undeniable evidence that his writing is true art and beyond criticism. If there was just a translator qualified enough, he would no doubt be winning the Nobel prize every year.

From what I remember, the light novel that the second series was based on was never meant to be published. The author wrote it just for themself, but the publisher convinced him to put it out. That is the reason I have heard that it quite a bit skeevier than the others. I still need to finish second season.

The BRs made so much money that SHAFT has plans to adapt the entire series now though, so I can't get too mad. And yes you do need to finish Second Season. The last "arc" really changes things up and has some of my favorite episodes of anything in a while. The whole Second Season does cool things with POV and unreliable narrators that I'd like to see more of in anime. HellCopter fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Dec 10, 2014 |

Bakemonogatari was okay for the most part though it had some skeevy parts but lol just lol if you watched anything past that.

The confusing thing is that Second Season is not actually the second season, chronologically within the setting or broadcast-wise.

so what's the deal with the blue haired girl? did Nisio decide there weren't enough prepubescent girls in his harem anime, or jokes about how hilarious araragi being a lolicon is?
|

Nisio has arbitrarily decided that prepubescent girls are actually master comedians and gives them the most entertaining dialogue so I don't mind.

Well, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki did come out in 2013, so maybe that's not so bad.
