Bakemonogatari ended on some pleasant note. I was really willing to know more about what was gonna happen next. So... what do we have from Nisemonogatari.
Basically, happened what I had feared. It's become more haremish. If we were to cut the fanservice part, it would remain like 1\3. I think it's gone a bit too far. Furthermore, it reminds of a harem even more. Now, when Araragi's sisters so much involved. And now, when Araragi flirts with them throughout the whole show.
The plot itself here is rather simple, almost nothing significant happens, besides we get to know new characters. Also, Shinobu. She begins to transform from the furniture into a remnant of the legendary vampire who at long last finds herself quite bored.
Araragi wasn't that much consistent with his words from the very beginning but here, he feels even more inconsistent. That refers to his actions as well. I don't know, for me he felt more, like, noble in previous shows.
Another characters feel slightly different as well. Though, I'm all right with it because it may count for their developments. In case with Koyomi it's more like a degradation rather than a development.
Visually it's just great as always. I'm almost got used to it. However, it often manages to satisfy my eye with new undiscovered ways. It is odd. It is good. Even though, monogatari series concentrates on dialogues, it doesn't prevent it to have ridiculously good fighting scenes. Nisemonogatari isn't an exception.
Same applies to the sound. OP-s and ED-s are great. My personal favourite is the third OP with Tsukihi.
At least, these two aspects don't upset me.
As a conclusion, I might say I don't like the turn monogatari series took. I'm sure it can offer much more, something more valuable than just sisters' fanservice.
I just hope the next show in the series will refrain from it.
If you're alike me watching monogatari series the show after the show I guess there's no point in skipping this one, yet... well, see it and have your own judgment.
