Well I watch the bakemonogatari series randomly, just seeing araragi, senjogohara, shinobu on MAL characters list and thought to myself why not give it a try and learned a discovered a gem.

The witty humour, sarcastic tones and random images during monologues and dialogues shows how not be bored by extended talking.

I think hands down no matter which monogatari series you are watching at the end of the episodes you can't say I wasted my time it really is worth the watch.

Seeing shinobu back in action is also refreshing Kaiki bring eerie vibes and the great senjogohara with her amazing sarcasm.....amazing.

Nisemonogatari is the second title of the Monogatari series, release wise of course. First let me say this one is entirely about Koyomi's sisters, Araragi Karen and Araragi Tsukihi AKA the fire sisters. We can divide the whole anime into two parts, where the first one deals with Karen-chan and the second one deals with Tsukihi-chan. Bakemonogatari revealed next to nothing about Koyomi's sisters except that they somewhat existed. But as this series is mostly about them, you'll get to see them plenty.

If you think you have seen enough pervert activities of Koyomi in Bakemonogatari, Honey, you've seen nothing. Both his lolicon and siscon activities really bothered me because I actually kinda like this guy. His perversion knows no bounds. You'll get to see the sweet cute Hachikuji again. Her presence will give you joy (If you like her in the first place. I like her. So I was happy to see her again). Hanekawa will be in the series too. Sadly there was no Meme. You guys have no idea how I missed that guy. But, there will be two new characters, Kaiki Deishuu and Kagenui Yozoru. They are classmates of my beloved Meme-sama. But their presence only made me confused about Meme-sama's age. Because Kaiki looked like he is in his early 40's or late 30's. But I don't want to imagine Meme-sama being above his early 30's. Hmm. He was also the imposter exorcist that Senjougahara went to for her weight loss mystery. Kaiki Deishuu is voiced by Miki Shinichiro. I was again mesmerized by his talent in voice acting.

In the second part, Kageuni Yozoru arrives with her shikigami Ononoki Yotsugi. They are fine people. You will like them. But the last words of Yozoru gave me goosebumps.

I guess I'll end this with something Oshino-kun would never say. Sayonara.

In this anime you will see some action of Shinobu, the golden-haired vampire that lives under Koyomi's shadow (Imagine a vampire living under your shadow. How cool is that?!).

The anime follows the same pattern as the previous one. And Monogatari series has outstanding animation. No comment on that.

I have finished three titles of the Monogatari series by far (Yes, I have seen Nekomonogatari too). And one thing I can guarantee you is that the ending will never disappoint you.

Happy watching.

Bake was a really good start with charismatic characters and all that stuff but Nise feels more solid then it's predecesor

I like Bake and Nise a lot(in the same level) but the incest it's a little bit uncomfortable

Some new character and a really good phasing :)

The continuation of Bakemonogatari, it is a series that is focused on the sisters of Araragi the quasi-vampire. From this series on, Monogatari gets only stranger. It delves deeper into the Monogatari universe and explores some of its characters a bit more. We learn more about the former legendary vampire, Shinobu Oshino, who really was just a shadow in Bakemonogatari. We also learn about Karen Tsukihi, Koyomi's weird sisters. On top of this, there's a lot of fanservice, which is to be expected. However, this series is definitely a must-see. Especially that toothbrush scene!

This "season" ended with 11 episodes and honestly I thought some of the plot points in both story arcs (especially the second arc) could have used a little more explanation, 2 or 3 more episodes would have likely been a good addition.
