Review of Bakemonogatari

It literally means ghost-story How do I feel about Bakemonogatari? In a sentence it's different, beautiful and I found it satisfying. Now let's talk in details about it. Shall we? Story: At first (I mean for the first episode) everything seemed really confusing. But with time thing started to settle in a pattern. Araragi Koyomi is a highschool boy who is a post-vampire( I mean, he was a vampire for some time. Now he is not). He can recognize or sense aberration very naturally and that's how he was familiarized with Senjougahara Hitagi. Koyomi knows a guy named Oshino Meme(Yes, his name is Meme. And I lovehim) who knows how to deal with these aberrations. Soon Koyomi meets more aberrations like Hitagi and that is how the story flows.

Animation:

Graphically Bakemonogatari has a lot different animation that other anime I would say. It was different and I loved it. I think this type of art is exactly what this anime needed. The background, the characters, the surroundings, I loved everything.

Sound:

I want to talk about the background music that is played where a bunch of scene is shown with just a bunch of line. The suspense that held that music is appraisable.

Character:

Araragi: Or Koyomi, it's his first name. Most the characters are female but the main protagonist is a male. He has an ahoge on his head that moves a lot( I mean a lot a lot). He was once a vampire for sometimes but he is recovered from that. He still has some superpowers though. I liked Araragi more that I thought I would. He is kind of a pervert( the kind a typical teenagers like). But doesn't like to act like one. Yes, he is all about saving people and friends but not in the typical way we see in the shounen anime
( like screaming how he will definitely save all his loved ones by beating the crap out of the enemy). He just wants to help despite anything. He cares. That's what makes him so great.

Senjougahara: She is my most favourite female character by far. As a woman myself I am always kind of disappointed by the female characters in anime about their character developments are not so great. But I am really to find that Senjougahara Hitagi is a really well written character. She is violent, shows almost no emotion on her face and brutally honest. She is the ultimate example of Tsundra(Yes, it's tsundra not Tsundere). The way she confessed was mild blowing. I love her. Chiwa Saito's voice acting added a new dimension to her chilliness.

Hanekawa: She is like the total encyclopedia. She knows everything. But still you will hear her say It's not like I know a lot. I just know what I know. She is a kind character with a pathetic family story.

Hachikuji: A middle schooler hanging around with her schoolbag. Araragi likes to tease and harass her. And she always mispronounces his intentionally and says she is sorry that she stuttered. I also loved her voice.

Kanbaru: I thought I wouldn't like her. But she came out to be great. And also Miyuki Sawashiro did a really great job.

Oshino Meme: Yes. You are not wrong. HIS NAME IS MEME AND HE IS THE MY MOST FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN THE ANIME. He is kind of an exorcist who has a vast knowledge about spirits, demons and gods. He did mention supernaturalism or something was his subject in college. He has a mind blowing confidence and an aura around him which is hard to ignore. He is a laid back, homeless person. He is the one who revived Araragi.

Overall?

I loved this anime and I will definitely finish the whole Monogatari series. I also highly recommend this anime.

Happy watching.
