Katanagatari is one of those anime that aren't hyped up by the public its just there to be found, watched and admired... great anime that has a great developing pace and shows everyone how a one should incorporate light novels/manga into an anime... it has one of those animation styles you don't see very often but can easily adapt to... It has a very steady character development and story to with those fantastic characters.... I myself didn't give it an outrageous score but gave it a score fitting to how i reacted to the plot and how the outcome of that story and plot came to be.
Its a great anime that has everything you might want in a mini-movie series, it has its humor, its romance (for those like myself that like their romance in their plots) and the action is on par with that of a few martial arts anime (just lacks in some areas, but that's my opinion).
This is a must watch for any long time anime lover out there!!!
