Bakemonogatari isn't like anything you have ever seen. It's a fantastic storyline of the normal laced with integrated supernatural with a collection of unique characters and the goings on of their daily lives.
The artwork and presentation is a mixture of real life and animation and it's very artistic indeed.
But for this show, you have to be a lover of conversation. There are a few episodes that are no more than 2 people sat side by side and talking for the entire time. The conversations however, if given the time and patience are amusing, intelligent and very bizarre and I found it a pleasure simply being able to hear the things that they talked about and how.
I found it a very interesting show, in some ways thought provoking and both sweet and very sad in parts.
12 episodes that are definately worth giving a try and an experience that is well worth the time.
It won't be for everyone, but if you can take the chance, you may be very pleasantly surprised.
