It did have some good scenes that's why I say it's mediocre. The toothbrush scene had me literally rolling on floor laughing. Too few of these good scenes though to consider the series a masterpiece.

Just wanted to say that this ^ sends out a very different message than this:

I hate the monogatari series. Such an overrated piece of garbage.

Don't really care to debate about the quality of the series atm... just wanted to say that you should say what you mean.

3 reasons why i'm fascinated by Monogatari:
The characters
The art
The story

Just what exactly do you think its mediocre about Monogatari?

Those are the reasons why I find the show mediocre (apart from art). I think the art is good, but the animation is, err... peculiar to say the least. Not my type of thing with the close ups, the head poses and those "comedic" moments in the animation.
Some of the most annoying characters I have ever seen in anime. I only like Araragi because of his perverted tendencies; I hate the main girl of the series. I'd say the series overall would be better for me without her. I hate it when characters threaten to kill the other characters because of love or something, even for comedy purposes; it's just not funny whatsoever.
There is no story. The mystery aspect of the series is only there half the time. Half the episodes are completely useless. They should have either gone full out with the supernatural aspects; or just made it a full on slice-of-life romcom. Mixing these two is a no no. Although I'm sure this is handled better in the novels.

You probably thought Ichigo 100% was 10/10...

Nothing can be as disappointing as the entire last year!

Death Parade will hopefully be amazing

Assassination Classroom looks like it will be great!

Jan 7, 2015 9:54 AM by Touzel

I don't know but I'm hyped for all my desperately awaited sequels..
Durarara!!x2 Shou / Dog Days'' / Kamisama Hajimemashita◎ / Tokyo Ghoul √A / Kuroko no Basket 3rd Season

There seems to be some quite interesting new anime too.
I'm looking forward to these.

Jan 7, 2015 3:53 AM by Lambdaa-

What's with all the harem/VN-looking shows this season?

Have my eye on:
Assassination Classroom
Death Parade
Junketsu no Maria

And the rest will be sequels.
Was considering trying out Koufuku as well but changed my mind once I read this: "The cooking manga is "full of detailed cuisine art to whet the appetite and slightly erotic meal scenes."

Very meh season overall!

Jan 6, 2015 9:28 PM by vivi-kun

I watched Death Billiards yesterday.
I'm excited to see Death Parade now :)

Jan 4, 2015 11:02 AM by BloodOrangeAlice

Junketsu no Maria seems pretty interesting. Doesn't seem to be much else on it though at the moment.

Dec 30, 2014 4:50 AM by jzombee

Death Parade will be a nice anime for sure.

only looking forward to tsukimonogatari

Dec 30, 2014 12:11 AM by Abhishantz

Hmm... I'll try out, Absolute Duo, Juuou Mujin no Fafnir, Shinmai Maou no Testament,
Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Kantai Collection: KanColle, Junketsu no Maria, Koufuku Graffiti, and Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata.

Of course shows like... Tokyo Ghoul A, Dog Days 3, Kami-sama Hajimemashita 2, Tsukimonogatari, and Durarara!2 I'll be watching.

Haven't watched 1st season of Aldnoah yet, so the 2nd season will be on reserve for the moment.

Dec 29, 2014 8:31 PM by Xcrimsonlover

Not a particularly strong season. Will be watching Assassination Classroom and Shokugeki no Shouma that i've been looking forward to. Most of sequels are also on must watch list such as Kuroko, Jojo, Aldnoah, Kamisama Kiss, Tokyo Ghoul, Durarara, and Dog Days.

On the LN adaptations, most of which i suspect will be bad but i'll still give a try anyway are Saenai Heroine, Absolute Duo, Shinmai Maou and Seiken Tsukai.

Will give Koufuku Graffiti, Junketsu no Maria, Yuri Kuma Arashi, and Kantai Collection though i'm completely blind about every single thing bout them.

The rest is just leftover from fall; Kiseijuu, Log Horizon, Nanatsu no Taizai, Shigatsu, and Yowamushi Pedal.

Dec 29, 2014 7:05 AM by Amiluhur

oooh Tokyo Ghoul √A it's almost almost!!

Dec 29, 2014 4:00 AM by zairin

I'll be watching these sequels:
Aldnoah.Zero, Durarara!!, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Kuroko no Basket, Tokyo Ghoul.

And these new shows:
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, Death Parade.

And also Junketsu no Maria and Koufuku Graffiti (though I may drop them later if they are too boring/bad).

Dec 28, 2014 2:17 AM by Samii

Tokyo Ghoul √A: the feels <3

Dec 27, 2014 4:52 PM by mareyu

Still no Winter 2015 Simulcast thread yet?

Funimation has been announcing stuff.
