Review of Bakemonogatari

Anime. Anime is something that cannot be thrown around and labeled. Anime is something that needs to be enjoyed with an open yet philosophical mind. No anime like Bakemonogatari has done this to me and in such a tasteful manner. When I first started watched it I thought in my head "Hmm... this has potential". So, I continued on and let me say... the colors and the substance of this just took my mind and sent it off to the lands of the strong minded and the rivers of the deep. Never has an anime made me think instantly "Masterpiece". Ifound most complain lack of action or just simple talk. No, they are wrong and do not understand the depth that Bakemonogatari is trying to tell you. If you hadn't noticed, the colors represent their emotions in their individual struggles. This is not an anime to be enjoyed by the weak and shallow minded but rather for those who are strong and intellectually able. So please pick up this masterpiece and watch it. Do not be swayed by the "moe moe~" image it tries to convey. This anime means business and it dealt business by crushing the light novel charts and almost reaching Evangelion status.

Bakemonogatari gets a 10/10; I would rate it higher but I am chained by this mortal coil of a website.
