How many of you have watched this anime? And, have you watched other anime from the Monogatari series?

I finished this anime yesterday, and it was very good. I've never seen an anime like this before. The main strengths of this anime are the really eccentric and unique visuals, and the witty dialogues.
The story is about a boy named Koyomi Araragi, who is part-vampire, trying to help people he knows who've been affected by 'aberrations', spiritual or demonic beings that disrupt their lives. The anime is divided into five arcs, each arc revolving around him solving one problem faced by a girl he knows.
The anime isn't as emotional as fans say it is, nor the dialogues as witty, but I still can't deny that it is emotional and the dialogues, witty.
But most of all. The visuals. The visuals are freaking amazing. I can't help but praise it again and again.
This anime doesn't have a lot of action or violence, but when shit hits the fan, it's glorious. The action sequences are mostly one-sided beat-downs, but it's damn entertaining to watch, and executed to perfection, with a lot of blood, gore, and feels visceral.
The anime also has fan-service, though not a lot, but it still does. All those pure-hearted nobles who can't watch an anime just because it has fan-service will hate it in the first scene itself, because it's pretty insane.

My favourite character is Senjougahara(pretty obvious if you've watched the anime), but my favourite arc is Tsubasa Cat. I liked almost every character, with the exception of maybe Hanekawa, who seemed kind of bland, and Mayoi can be annoying sometimes.

Genre: Mystery, Supernatural, Romance, Vampire

PS
 
I've been planning to watch it for a while now and the only thing that is keeping me from watching it is that it is fairly long by my standards, but I might start watching it soon.

Bakemonogatari by itself is only 15 episodes. The whole series totals to about 90 episodes+3 movies though.
But rest assured, they are all self-contained, so you won't feel like an ending is missing.
 
i heard of the toothbrush scene and some say it's even close to hentai but i never considered watching this till now but witty dialogues are my favorite so i might watch these soon

It's not hentai. It's just a sexual connotation.
I recommend it, but, it's a lot of talking.

I just realised it's from Nisemonogatari, the sequel to this anime. It looks like I confused it with a Youtube clip I saw. So, I wouldn't know.

I'm curious to know what you think of Nisemonogatari, since it's somewhat different from Bake, in terms of presentation and content.

I'm only three episodes in and it definitely has a different style, this one seems to be a bit more interesting so far. Once i finish it ill let you know my thoughts on it.
