I should say here that I actually like Bakemonogatari because it turned out better than the checklist it started out with, but even this can't go by the natural flow of things, it being that, in general, NOBODY ELSE OTHER THAN OTAKU BUY LATE NIGHT TV ANIME.

Is that really a matter of content or marketing? I mean, Ika Musume is a late night anime, but it would've fit in the Saturday morning lineup of any American network in the '80s.
