Bakemonogatari was aired this past summer in Japan. The series includes 15 episodes but, only 12 of them were broadcast. The remaining 3 will be shown on there website starting at the end of October. I should also mention that this series is based on a light novel series written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by Vofan. I had just finished up watching Bakemonogatari (well, the first 12 episodes) and, I loved it. Here is the plot and the basic structure of the show taken from Wikipedia.
The series tends to introduce only one new heroine per chapter, each involved with a different "apparition". Most of them have an item which symbolizes their specters, such as Hitagi's staple - the claw of crab, Mayoi's back pack - the shell of snail, Suruga's leggings - SARUMATA(猿股, the Japanese traditional underclothing. 'SARU' means monkey.), and Nadeko's big hat and baggy jacket - the head and skin of snake. The events of the previous chapters play an important role in the subsequent ones. The series primarily focuses on conversations between characters; it contains a fair number of parodies of other series, as well as Nisio Isin's trademark word play and metahumor. All and all, I really loved the show. The only thing I didn't like was the length, only 15 episodes in all. I guess I'm the kind of guy who always wants anime shows to be longer, not Shin Chan or DBZ length but, more would be nice. Well, this is my first time doing this: My score - 5/5. I highly recommend this anime to anyone. If you are looking for something new, try this one out. P.S. The song playing during the credits was awesome. Awesome song and I love the art style.
