Review of Bakemonogatari

*WARNING* This review was written under the assumption that every plothole and confusion will be cleared up over the couple next seasons as this series is like a puzzle as a whole and needs to pieced together to get the sense of it So, to put that matter aside, Bakemonogatari is part of the infamous Monogatari series. To tell you honestly, if this anime was to stand on its own, the story will be a below average level anime but since I write this with the assumption of plothole to be cleared in the next season, I'll give it a good rating. The story itself isn't that muchof a special case, there's a boy who happens to be a vampire (a one-tenth vampire) that loses its curse because a magically-knowledgeable man knows how to deal with supernatural cases. But, this anime really walk itself through character development. I mean, every story moves and revolve around a character and every time you see it, you'll get bored real quick unless you're into a story told through conversation only.

The VA of this anime is a real deal in my opinion because of the main point of the anime was people talking to each other and to pull that one nicely, you need a great VA. The OP and ED are nice too (I like those arc-based OP as they give you an insight of the character that is currently being focused on).

As for character, the headcounts are limited here so you'll understand everyone story and no one falls flat (even the side character are memorable too).

Personally, I enjoy this BECAUSE IT'S PART OF A SERIES CALLED MONOGATARI SERIES. If it was to stand on its own, I'll drop this because of the massive plothole left and right but since it's a full series, I can enjoy this without needing to worry about a plot left unresolved
