Both have similar style animation both are amazing and clever
Completely different genres ,but with similar style of presentation. The style of presentation was proven success when used with the comedy Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, in which style is in higher importance than substance. Whether this style suit the intense, dramatic, and story-centric Bakemonogatari or not, you will want to find out yourself.
And since both show have similar presentation and have SHAFT working on, those who liked visual in SZS should be satisfied with visual in Bakemonogatari too. However you are not guaranteed to like stories in both shows. Since they are in different genres. And as mentioned earlier, the presentation style suits SZS very well but may affect story-centric Bakemonogatari, negatively or positively.
the style is presented is very similar in both the story may be be different because their in different genres but while you watch it you automatically think of bakemonogatari or while watching bakemonogatari you automatically think pf sszs.
Both anime by SHAFT and almost voice actor are same as well :) They arent similar by genre but character designs same and this making me remind sayonara zetsubou sensei :)
A piece of good absurdal homour.
And the same voice actors, studio and graphic style
Both looks amazing. Although they have completely different story and art, I can see why they are similar. They both made from SHAFT. They both have long linguistic gags and puns. There are tons of typesets and monochromes. Both are really random (for example, showing totally irrelevant screen when story is going on) is a plus.

they both have the same kind of feel in the sense of supernatural aspects, and both use lots of text and abstract scenes. both very good and very originial.
One of my first thoughts when watching was how similar stylistically ef was to this which isn't a huge surprise considering they were both SHAFT-produced. Although they have quite differing plots, the style of storytelling and the character development are very similar.
Presentation style is similar, though the genres are a differ a little, at least in the way they are focused, where romance and drama rules Ef while mystery/suspense mixed with characterization plays more prominently in Bakemonogatari. Both are very metaphorical, with Ef being more visual with art and Bakemonogatari more word play.
Also consider Ef - A Tale of Melodies
Both show a more serious side to the comedy oriented SHAFT teamup.
Both produced by SHAFT and have similar art and presentation. Excellent chracter interaction. Stories differ greatly though.
The main similarity between the two is the way the story is presented to the viewer. The style is very abstract and modern; there is a sense of "art" added to the basic portrayal of the story.
People who like the way ef - a tale of memories was depicted should definitely try out bakemonogatari...

made by Shaft and both have great dialog
Though the stories are very different, the animation style is very much the same. It's sort of hard to see the story and what's going on. Maria Holic I find it easier to follow than Bakemonogatari. The way each story is told has the same style to it. The people tend to talk with little emotion sometimes, and multiple screens with text pop up during those speeches. The camera angles also seem to drift to different sections of the area that the characters are around, such as the sky, the ground, or objects that may or may not reflect on what is being said.
Each main character seems to meet someone else that they're almost forced into hanging around, only to be tormented throughout the series because of something they 'found out' about said person. Also, both main characters seem to get threatened from time to time by the other characters (Senjougahara & Maria)
A sadistic girl and absolutely amazing graphic.

They both have a different art from each other and the typical anime. They both have individuals helping people out of supernatural situations.
Well, let's see... Mysteries, or the so-called oddities in Bakemonogatari somewhat coincides with the cases that Yuuko solves in xxxHolic. And their way of solving these cases are quite similar too in a way that they derive complicated solutions to get the situarion done.

Well they two does have some kind of similarities...no, i take that back, they have A LOT of similarities! in Bakemonogatari you got a Ginko kind of a character but the think is, he ain't the main character! Meme and Ginko are totally alike but Meme is more like a master and he also got successors (If you can call them that) they're pretty much the same, helping people or some 'things' with their "supernatural' problems.
Both have the supernatural aspect and the wtf-ness of it. Same mood as well. Characters are rounded in each. Highly recommened

Both series are heavily dialogue and character focused. Both have a very likable female protagonist who teases the male protagonist. The banter between the two main characters in both shows is pretty interesting to watch. The two series are also about different things but uses those things to bring two people together romantically.
Spice and Wolf focuses on the life of being a merchant (fundamental economic theory), and Bakemonogatari focuses on the supernatural. Ultimately, it is the romance of the two shows that keeps things interesting.
both have fantasy,and have the same love talk in the way that makes you more huh and look more in to it to finaliy get the message

Both are arc-based stories dealing with one specific supernatural entity in each arc. The true nature of the situation is not always readily apparent at the beginning of the arc but is revealed by the end. They also both have a very distinctive visual style, though not necessarily in the same way.
Both series are told through short story arcs focusing on a supernatural entity (Animals in Bakemonogatari and Mononoke in Mononoke) that takes form and haunts a character. While Mononoke focuses more on the story and Bakemonogatari on the characters, the short arcs are presented very similarly, both narrative-wise and progression. Both series share this style of storytelling presented with a unique style of animation. Bakemonogatari is more Shaft than the average Shaft, and Mononoke takes upon itself a very "Japanese" style to fit their respective settings.

They are both abstract and ecchi
Colorful is 10 years older and honestly not as good
but if you like one you might like the other

The reason I started to compare Bakemonogatari and Natsume Yuujinchou actually is that the male main characters are both voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi. Then I started to notice that the themes and the atmosphere is quite similar. And even if the animation is different they share high production values.
These shows are about high-school boys who get mixed up with supernatural creatures and phenomenon. The main characters take notice of things that normal humans cannot see and try to help out, even if it is dangerous. The arcs of the different stories are not very long but characters frequently show up again. There is an unique mixture of peacefull daily life and violent supernatural occurences. Bakemonogatari has more graphic violence, Natsume on the other hand always tells touching stories...

Both show a more serious side to the comedy oriented SHAFT studio
|
|
|
Same sense of surrealism and character interaction.
|
|

Both series deal with supernatural events with very mystical ways, without exaggerating its effects with spectacular SFX effects. While Kara no Kyoukai mostly deals with murders with a very dark theme, Bakemonogatari deals with phenomenon involving students. Both series also involves main characters with special powers and mentor-like characters that help the main ones.

Both brilliant supernatural ghost anime. Bakemonogatari is more serious and more mystery based, whilst Ghost Hunt contains elements of comedy. Both are must watches for those who enjoy supernatural thrillers.
