Engaging your mind is not always the best way to appreciate or enjoy something. Katanagatari is straightforward and cliché. At the same time it doesn't take itself too seriously, so why should the viewer?
Personally I love it. I love the fact that it's not pretentious. It just is what it is. It's cute, entertaining, light, funny etc etc. The art style didn't appeal to me at first but after the first ep I felt that it fit well with the atmosphere. The animation is great, with very fluid action scenes. The story is plain and unoriginal, yet it gives enough premise for the events to take place and keeps enough info covered so as to keep the viewer in anticipation. The characters are great. They lay everything down for you to see so you don't have to try and interpret every little hint, which is fortunate because they're usually dead by the end of the episode.
I think squirrel is right. There's no need to analyse something so simple to such an extent.
