Another work by Nisioisin (same creator of the greatest anime of all time), this piece of work is not talked about as much as it should be. Much like Madoka Rebellion, this show had an ending which can be very polarizing if you have an IQ of less than 100, however is amazing if you are smart. A tragic romance hidden behind the facade of an action/adventure story.

Thoughts?

I have never seen it. So I can't comment on the show. The only Nishioisin work I have watch other than Monogatari is Medaka Box.

No. It’s the younger cousin of it. Nothing can replicate perfection.

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it was certainly amazing. Honestly, there was so much to like and love about that show that I almost gave it a 10/10.

Katanagatari is yet another one of the most boring anime I've attempted to watch.

It does require one to pay attention and read. Not every anime can be a shounen.

Just call any anime you like as a masterpiece man, meanwhile smarter people will use the rating scale better. 7 for anime you liked, 8 for anime you really liked, etc..
I in comparison, give 10s (masterpiece) to about only 1% of my list.

I don't think I would call Katanagatari a masterpiece, but I definitely think it's a very good series.

It's a 8/10 for me and a personal favourite....Togame is also one of my favourite female protagonists...and I like Nisio Isin's writing style overall...it's very unconventional and dialogue driving, wich is why it stands out.

I wouldn't call a masterpiece, but it's extremely good.


I love this ending and I love the way Nanami speaks, Jesus.

I don't believe in superior taste, but I believe that my scoring scale is better than you lol.
Calm down, it's simply because I have too many favorites and I can only put limited number of them in my favorite list. My 9s are not necessarily inferior to my 10s in my enjoyment factor.

It was good. A solid 7/10. I think the episodes should have been regular length rather than close to an hour though.

Someone recommended Katangatari to me last year saying it was a masterpiece. I finally watched it a few months ago and was blown away, great characters, superb story. I gave it a sword slashing 10/10.

Watched it few years ago, good anime I enjoyed the tactful and strategies they deployed on certain targets as well the journey and romance. But the tragic kind of crushed it all, sure it has a good ending but maybe is not the type I preferred.

I disagree, it's an 8/10 at most. Plus the Monogatari series is a million times better.

He's definitely not an elitist, average score is more than 6 so it's pretty sensible actually.
Personally I agree with him, your rating scale is maybe a bit too generous no offence.
