Summary:
Although there are still traces of the brief period he became a vampire, third year high school student Koyomi Araragi is human again. He happens upon others with their own supernatural problems and finds that he can empathize. Koyomi becomes involved in their lives, seeking to help them and occasionally asking for advice from Meme Oshino, the homeless man who helped him become human again.
At first I thought this anime was kind of weird, like most people would, and up till the end it still was but once I realized I shouldn't try to compare this with other series, I saw that it was good in its own style.
Each character's background story is good and mysteries. It takes a while before you fully understand what's going on. It's a detail but I liked how they changed the intro depending on the arc.
Bakemonogatari's trumpcard is its dialogues. Sometimes they're a bit fast, maybe a bit complicated but they're usually interesting and even funny.
This show uses some weird animation and frankly I don't really like it but it probably fits the story. Some images are nothing but one collor and some text. Even fotographs are used.
I had to get used to it but I liked this anime though I hated how I had to wait for some episodes but that's mainly my own fault.
