(referring to "bakemonogatari"): this is one of the anime that I just cannot understand.

I did not like it.

This show is one of my favorites. Unlike most other anime from the past 10+ years, the dialogue feels more natural and not just "W-Why are you staring at me senpai?!" (if you know what I mean). The art style and animation is great and despite it looking different to the manga (which is also great) it definitely suits the anime. If you are a first time viewer of the show it can get a bit confusing if you're not paying attention or haven't read the manga. It's still a great watch, although it's sub only.
