Well i just finished Bakemonogatari and it was great, it literally took me from 10am to 4am the next day, but that is due to me spending multiple hours doing other things such as watching documentaries. The show is very artsy and is a treat to the eyes, each scene feels like it is an abstract painting. Though because of this style the show often feels quite lonely with you not seeing any conversations save for the cast of characters which is extremely varied. The show for the most part focuses on conversations and uses a large amount of wordplay. It may be because i watched pulp fiction before watching this but i can see correlations between the two at least with the witty dialog and wordplay. The show makes a ton of references to other anime/manga and breaks the fourth wall fairly often (a couple times an episode). So there is a nice balance between philosophical talk and comedy in this show. I could go into more but this is a quick review as I am attempting to watch the entire series in one go and i have already lost a ton of time.
Animation: 10 *absolutely beautiful*
Characters: 9 (this show is driven by dialog so the characters had to be strong)
Sound: 8 (the overall ambience sticks to the style of the scene with the ending being wonderful and the opening changing each character arc, and it conveys their personality well)
Enjoyment: 9 ( I highly enjoyed this and found it to be a treat to watch)
------------------
Total: 9 *Watch this show if you want a beautiful show that can make you do some philosophical thinking, like Mushishi, though that show is more relaxing in nature*
