I was one of the ones who came in late in the game. I started watching the series when Nise started, and actually watched Nisemonogatari and Bakemonogatari at the same time. i'd watch Bakemonogatari while waiting for new episodes of Nise.
I liked Nisemonogatari just slightly more. What got me hooked was the first episode of Nisemonogatari. Araragi was locked up in a basement by Hitagi. I had no idea at first she was his girlfriend, which ended up being a cool reveal as I continued watching. I really like the lighthearted feel of Nisemonogatari, it's music, and themes. The sisters are some of my favorite characters because of how naive but also determined they are.
