Monogatari Series: First Season
| Monogatari is certainly different from your everyday anime. As for being confusing like Baccano, well I guess it will take some time to getting used to. Think of Monogatari like a book. Just read and follow along, and you'll get the all the details handed to you soon enough. Now as for the comedy, the Monogatari series is not primarily a comedy, but it does have some pretty funny moments. Do understand that most of the comedy is dialogue-based rather than action-based, so be sure to pay attention and read well if you want to catch the funny stuff. For example, the first girl you met, Hitagi Senjougahara, is IMO the funniest character in the series next to the MC. She doesn't sound like it, but her comments can be really hilarious...especially in episode 3 hehehe. The comedy is not as prominent as Prison School or Shimoneta, but the series will have such moments to give you a quick burst of laughter. What makes the comedy so funny is that once you get to know the characters and their personalities, you'll know exactly how they'll act when put in a certain situation. Here's a quick example of the comedy that you'll expect: (No spoilers, just an example) Anyway, Monogatari is not just comedy but a whole lot of other things. It has some drama, a lot of mystery, very few but notably over-the-top action sequences (with the exception of Kizumonogatari, which has a lot of action), some parodies and breaking the fourth wall, some horror elements, and of course the obligatory fanservice ^_^. The Monogatari series is basically a whole bunch of short stories that are all connected one way or another. In my opinion, the Monogatari series is less confusing than Baccano. If you can tolerate a lot of reading, then definitely continue on with Bakemonogatari. If you're not a fan of reading, then perhaps the Monogatari series might not be to your liking. |

| The main thing that put me off while watching this series is that they talk reallllly fast and then have really long boring cut scenes in between the dialog where they are just walking over a cgi background or something. So then you skip 3 seconds ahead and lose half the conversation trying to get through the boring parts. Second thing, the dialog is very pretentious and loquacious. |
