Best of this season alongside Symphogear...

Only thing I felt was perhaps they should have divided the two books to equal screen time....

the monogatari series is pretty much only semi-serious(or semi-dark) than it seems to be advertised by others. the series is a lot more on parody and fun imo with interesting twists(like how araragi was actually the lost guy in mayoi snail, how nadeko had more than one curse in nadeko snake, how the bee was actually as fake as the instigator, etc.)
what really made the show was not the supernatural elements but more on the characters. how the characters have changed thanks to araragi. how they feel about araragi. and vice versa for araragi.
It's more commentary through character interaction than anything else IMO...In a way that hypermodern surrealist art style SHAFT uses for it kinda fits perfectly...
