OKAYSO:
Story: 9/10
The story of Nisemonogatari is unlike any other that I have ever seen. There are also many cultural differences that are incorporated into Nisemonogatari, and some of them are hard to pick up if you're a westerner such as I am. The major one being incest, this anime has an almost pornographic incestuous sense of humour. I have talked multiple times with friends who live in Japan, and they seem to find it funny while others may find it appalling. That being said, if you're highly disheartened by such themes, then this anime is not for you.
There is a huge amount of fanservice involved in Nisemonogatari. Naturally if you're watching this, then 99% of you should have seen the prequel called "Bakemonogatari". If not, then completely ignore this anime until you have, otherwise you will not get the same enjoyment that I did.
Nisio Isin is a storytelling genius, there are plenty of amazing dialogues and if you're a fan of witty arguments, then look no further than Nisemonogatari.
Art: 10/10
This is the most beautiful anime that I have ever laid eyes on, because SHAFT once again provides us with mind-tripping scenic masterpieces to go along with the banter, and you'll find yourself getting lost within the scenes and such. The artwork also has it's little trademarks that you will notice throughout watching, such as people twisting their heads as they talk and the famous "black screen" slide that was commonly found in Bakemonogatari.
Sound: 9/10
I had no quirks with the sound of this anime, the opening themes always had a nice ring to them and blended well with the artwork. The ED is addicting, though not to the point that Kimi No Shiranai was in Bakemonogatari. I think they did a great job with the sound.
Character: 10/10
Despite the many annoyances in various characters, there is one who makes up for them all. Senjougahara is a goddess, a truly inspiring character who cannot be compared to any other character in any other anime. I'm probably going to get a lot of negative votes for saying that, but it needed to be said. Every time she came on the screen and had one of her mindless banters with Araragi, I became so engrossed in the anime that I couldn't' blink even if I wanted to. Anyone who has watched Bakemonogatari can relate to this, surely. Treasure her moments, as there are not as many as I would have hoped.
Enjoyment: 9/10
This would have definitely been a 10, but I am very against incest and there were a few scenes that made me feel uncomfortable. That's my personal opinion, take it or leave it. Everything else was spot on amazing.
Overall: 10/10
If you can overcome the uncomfortable moments, then this anime is a masterpiece in every which way shape or form. I would highly recommend this anime to anyone who loves character development, and does not place huge value on flashy fight scenes that drone on and on. Go watch it if you haven't already!
