It is, but it doesn't devaluate the merits of the show. It's not 2DEEP4U, but it's certainly better when it comes to characterization than not only harem shows, but most shows in general. It's well written and well directed. I can't imagine a Monogatari anime without SHAFT with its surreal visuals.

I think you are right about popularity, but the quality itself is there in the text. Makes me wonder how it would work under another studio.
I know modern Kyoani would butcher the story (older Kyoani might work), A-1 would make it too straight foward.

For that matter I think people will rediscover Ping Pong in the future and acclaim it as it deserves.

He's a masochist and oftentimes incredibly passive, but still takes the initiative and is not easily swayed. Basically, despite being a fictional character he's human enough to be inadequately described by the simple animalistic alpha-beta behavioral patterns.

I downloaded the book a while ago but haven't touched it yet. I'm sure he's probably a betafag there but seeing him later in the series it's clear character development happened.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bake, and I'm planning on watching everything else before Kizu. I was honestly prepared to just brush it off as haremshit, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a very interesting theme with all the monsters and whatnot, and it's just a genuinely high-quality show.

I think any form of entertainment that makes you read way too much into something is worth those discussions. Not necessarily because it's the author's intented purposes, but because it made people think, maybe out of their confusion, maybe because they found something interesting buried there.

Dunno. I don't think it's bad up until the deepfags appear and shove their annoyance up in everyone's faces.

Haven't yet watched Tsuki, but have read enough threads about the bath scene. How did incest ruin it? Such a huge part of Monogatari is the incest, whether it's depicted or implied. Who cares?

The only argument I can see is that it's unnecessary outside of fan-service, but if that's the case, you're watching the wrong show.

Why does everyone call Bake the high point of the series? The second season has to be one of the most enjoyable things I've ever watched. The time travel arc, Neko: Shiro, Hachikuji, and Kaiki were all so fucking good. Seeing Senjougahara getting emotional at the beginning of Shiro was cool too.

I don't think it has anything to do with how important it is in the context of the show. It IS pandering, but there's nothing wrong with that. It knows what it's doing, it's entertainment first and foremost and not something super deep that needs to be void of any fun for it to be meaningful.

Others have said the purpose of these scenes are to parody sis-con, I personally have no idea, but who gives a shit.

Yes, the original argument was how the incest detracts from how good the show is because it panders to a small group of fetishists.

If the incest had some sort of impact on the story that made it more understandable, but its just there to pander.

And pandering isn't wrong, but when it is for incest, I think its disgusting.

Do you disagree?

Monogatari does this thing, where when an important conversation happens, it's accompanied by some sort of fanservice so the retards don't stop watching.

O i am laffin. Even if incest does end in a child, it's still not an issue unless the kids of incest have kids. When you and your sister have a baby together, the odds of it being fucked up are like 2% higher than two non-blood related people. It's a scare tactic to keep people from inbreeding for generations and then getting government money for all their mutant kids.

From Tsuki, the book:
>当時の忍は、まだ僕の影に縛られてはいなかったので、定期的に血を与えなくてはいけなかったのだが

Seems to imply it was only before she was in his shadow that he had to have her drink his blood

No it implies that Araragi had to give Shinobu blood more frequently before she lived in his shadow. Yozuru specifically mentions that Araragi can continue giving blood to Shinobu in order to feed her without advancing his vampirism, but giving her enough to power up would be an issue.
>>
>>121000750
>>121000865
I assumed what kept him from returning to being a full vampire was the he fed on Shinobu occasionally to keep him and her weak, but then when his blood is drained he becomes more vampiric.

But as >>121000053 said, drinking her blood is mistranslation.

So what exactly keeps him from returning as a vampire then?
>>
>>121000984
He already has reached a balancing point where both he and Shinobu are too weak to qualify as vampires Now he just gives Shinobu blood to keep her alive.

>>121001842
the monogatari series is all a play on words and kanjis.
remember how omoi means literal weight too and thus how the crab worked?
remember how the kanji for shinobu is literally the kanji of heart under the kanji of blade?

there's a saying that goes "until someone says still says your name, you are not truly dead"

So basically there was a shrine dedicated to a snake god, but it was forsaken. Then Nadeko started going there and killing snakes for the curse and shit and thus started re-enacting the snake god cult, and thus the snake god was an entity again.

How does Araragi deal with Ougi? Does he just tell it to fuck off?

I cant answer that for sure, but would presume, exactly how they deal with every oddity, each character has had to accept the repressed feelings their oddity manifested as. Araragi would have to do the same

I don't care.

Kizu just better be good for how god damn long its been.

What about crab do people like, anyway? She would have chosen anyone that had gone out of their way for her. Araragi didn't even have a clear reason for choosing her; just accepting her feelings and going along with his lust. Certainly, there are worse characters than her, but her appeal is beyond me.

In a nutshell it's about a young man who has narrowly survived a supernatural encounter and strives to help others who are suffering similar predicaments.

It's kind of nice they spared Kizumonogatari for last, as it's probably the story with the best message (suicide is bad m'kay).

It's a really interestingly boring show, when it wants to be.

When it doesn't want to be, it's a weird show with an absurd amount of fanservice and cute girls.

Has some supernatural elements, but that's only about half of the plot. It is relevant throughout the course of the show, but most of the story comes from the various interactions between the characters.

It has a lot of character development and interaction, mixed with some humor every now and then when it's appropriate.

Nise is the worst offender in regards to fanservice, but is also the most fun. It's the season that has that one fucking toothbrush gif everyone likes to post.

It's more lighthearted and silly than the other seasons.

After that, they go back to doing what they usually do.

It's actually pretty good in my opinion, but you either fucking love the shit out of it or you don't understand what the point of the show is.

people also love to shit on it, because fanservice is bad now i guess?
>>
Bakemonogatari is a visually revolutionary show.

This is objective fact. There is literally no other show like it before in terms of aesthetics.
>>
>>121002427
It's arguably the story with the best underlying message. The only characters that actually get anything in the way of actual plot development are Araragi, Kisshot, and Hanekawa. The three hunters are basically just plot devices to give Araragi something to struggle against and showcase his vampire powers.

It's more like Araragi spends most of the series on an extended suicide watch for Shinobu.

She gets over her desire to end her life though. In the beginning its about making Araragi suffer and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for forcing her to live, but they both progress out of that.
