Animation wise I definitely thought this was on par with Bake, even though they were a bit different.
I was definitely not as pleased with the dialogue as I was with Bake, but I still loved it.
Overall I'd probably give this series an 8, maybe a 9. A big part of that for me though is knowing it will be continued, if this was the end of the (monogatari) series, it would get a lower rating.
I will be very sad not getting to wait for it every Saturday now.
The fan service aspects of Nise definitely didn't bother me because I don't like fan service, they bothered me because of how much I like the characters/settings/stories/etc in monogatari, that even if I enjoyed this particular kind of fan service, in this setting it felt like a waste of time.
