Anyone Else Watching Bakemonogatari?
If you're not already watching Bakemonogatari, you should be, and this is why...
For some reason, this was a show I had almost decided not to watch and then rescinded on my decision to give the first episode a try. I was hooked within the first minute (no, not because of the lacy panties, you perverts).
(All the above are from the first episode's opening sequence; didn't want to cap too many from the rest of the episode because it would spoil the feeling of discovering something exciting if anyone does choose to watch it after this post.)
You can't tell from this, but a girl has jammed a craft knife and a stapler inside his mouth.
The plot of the first two eps revolves around this.
Anyway, that should be enough to give a feel for what it looks like. I am so easily attracted by nice art and good animation, which is why I started watching this, but I'm staying because of the series' other attributes. And it has got beautiful colours. So. You should all watch it. It's actually very interestingly put together and has some unusually crafted scenes/ways of storytelling, but I didn't want to cap too much here.
The third episode's out; I'll watch it tomorrow.
Amusingly, after deciding that I didn't want to watch any of the currently airing anime because it all looked dull/mediocre/cliched/whatever, I gave in very quickly and am not watching five series. It's because I hate the idea that I might miss something fantastic - could so easily not have picked up Bakemonogatari and of course only decided to watch Sengoku BASARA (SOB SOB I MISS IT) on a whim. Anyway, I'm also really liking Umineko no Naku Koro ni (finding it very unsettling and I love the OP and ED; way more into it than I was with Higurashi although I think art style/animation quality has a lot to do with that). Canaan is also intriguing but I hope it doesn't become too frivolous. I'm enjoying Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 because I have always been interested in disaster/survival type stories, and I'm also watching Aoi Hana because it's cute and lesbian. I'm not bothering with anything else because I'll never keep up.
