Actually, if I may add to Shikijin and Ominon's points versus any hate, criticism, or boredom which I choose not to read in detail (because of time o_O). One of the main uniqueness in Monogataris is in the dialogue. But unfortunately, things may seem lackluster to some because quite a lot of the language quirks, puns, and other creative use of words, which sometimes hold a deeper meaning or relevance get lost in the translations. It's not a criticism to the translators as this is pretty inevitable for this series. It is thus quite impossible to attain 100% enjoyment of the show if you don't know the language, quite unfortunately. I know I probably didn't get everything even when I've read the source.
