So because of the winter watch for the sequel, i started watching this, surprisingly, i watched the first episode 3 years ago and was uninterested then. I still kind of feel the same way but being able to marathon it has allowed me to be able to watch it and give it another chance. My problem is that i can barely keep up with what is happening. It's so spastic. Is there a sick story that will unfold or is it these mini arcs (im on episode 3) that will look at specific super abusive characters. Do i need to watch this to enjoy the sequel that just came out? honestly there are other shows i could spend time with, im a couple weeks behind on one piece and like 60 episodes on fairy tail. and im sure there were a couple others shows from the last year that i heard(anime vice's top 10 of 2011 list) of that i can spend time with instead in similar marathon fashion. I loved Death note which kinda seems like the closest comparison.
what the hell is this show??
I didn't begin to really enjoy Bakemonogatari until about halfway through, when they started to introduce more interesting characters. But it REALLY hit me in the last episode, with one of my favorite action scenes. It's not for everyone, to be certain, but it has some great aspects going for it.
@sickVisionz: so im getting mixed messages, is the sequel the same universe? same characters? If so, do they recap everything?
@DocHaus: i just feel apathetic. If anything slightly erring on the side of not wanting to watch this. But that alone is not enough to stop me from watching more. I just want to know if it gets more intense. For example, are there verbal bombs? like are there insane plot twists or realizations in these lengthy conversations?
@super2j: Same universe and characters? Yes. But there's no recap if you want to know their original motivations. As for the insane parts...it does get a little more bloody and crazy, but the show is split into mini-arcs focusing on Araragi's interactions with various crazy women in his life. My personal favorite would have to be the Suruga Monkey one (eps 6-8) and how she ties in with Araragi and Senjogahara and the freaky arm that punches through his chest.
I can't answer you the ones about verbal jabs and revelations, those you'll have to figure out on your own.

Same universe, same characters, no recap. I've never seen Bake and I'm enjoying Nise. To me, it would be like watching Matrix Reloaded without having seen the Matrix. There is character history that you won't know but you can pick up everything you need to enjoy the sequel just by watching the sequel.
