you are legit retarded
sorry you had to find out this way

Try reading the subs

It's just pandering trash there is no deeper meaning.

I did and am none the wiser. This is the first anime I feel I would enjoy on psychedelics though

It's not about a hidden deeper meaning. I don't understand anything. As in, it's not that I can't follow the story or plot because I don't see anything like that build up in first place. It's just whacked together scenes of whateverish where the only connection between them are the MCs

Araragi (the protagonist) sees a girl falling down a railing.
He catches her and is surprised that she is unusually light.
This is a supernatural issue, Araragi, who the past has had supernatural experiences takes her to see a specialist to resolve the issue.

I don't see how this is hard to understand at all.

can you read?

Just drop it. Monogatari is the most overrated anime of the fucking decade

no that's bodyswapping keit-ai

havent seen it

What's not to understand?

>person has supernatural problem
>supernatural problem is caused by personal problem
>Araragi gives them vampire therapy session
>by confronting their personal problem they expel the supernatural problem
>pantyshot

(Platinum Disco plays)

A guy meets waifu baits and helps them. What's so hard to understand OP?

it's both extremely overrated and unironically the best thing ever made.

>unironically the best thing ever made.

I haven't even watched the show but this character really makes me hot. Must be the hair.

it is honestly pretty damn good

Sorry you have an IQ of at least 90 to comprehend this animu

I've seen the first season and it's just average harem anime with beta mc and dull girls to me

Dropped at episode 6 from overwhelming boredom

It's not that it's 2deep4me, it's that nothing fucking happens

Bake is pretty straightforward actually, it's the later seasons that fuck everything up, not that they make no sense, it's just that they focus less on the supernatural shenanigans and more on characters praising Araragi left and right.

All you need to understand is
Cat is best.
Crab is worst.

there's a kimi no na wa tv series?

OP I had the exact same problem watching bakemonogatari. It was fucking confusing as shit and even when I understood it I didn't feel it was that good, but I started to really get it at around the end of the Mayoi Snail arc, and Snake is my waifu. Stick with it, it gets fucking good

>beta mc

Gets laid within a single season

oh I thought you were talking about monogatari

It's not the hair.
It's her relentless tendency to engage in savage banter

The girls are possessed by aberrations(malevolent animal spirits) which causes surreal shit to happen around them. Araragi is a recovering vampire who's retained the regenerative ability of a vampire but not much else and he helps these girls get rid of the aberrations plaguing them. That's the gist of it. It's very occult focused. Shit gets substantially more surreal with Japanese occultism compared to Western European.

I think it is normal for an American not to understand monogatari. I mean, they are fucking idiots. For American standards, OP is not retarded, he is just normal.

Fuck you, pal.

Beta MC collects his harem as time goes on, lots of flirting
desu its worth to watch it muted and without subs since the animation looks so good

Nise really stands out for this imo because it basically goes "Fuck social norms and shit, turn up the male vampire hormones to 11." I still find it hard to believe that his residual vampire power didn't have anything to do with him making every single female around go into heat.

Redditgahara being a provocative slut and fanservice. Nothing much

...

its wordswordswords the anime. its entirely style over substance.

keep watching it for him

Im 10 epidosdes in and its boring as fuck. The diaglouge is pointless 90% of the time and it makes up 99% of the show. Its just filled with typical harem tropes, and is just being avant-garde just to stand out.

do you know what avant-garde even means?

they can't even understand the goddamn show user do you really think they'd know

No. You probably are legit retarded. If you don't get it, you won't ever get it. Stop watching.

Perfection

It's unironically avant-garde though.

i know

It's your run of the mill highschool supernatural/harem/romcom but with unconventionally high production values and a nice art style that children and manchildren mistake for depth and sophistication.

Not saying its a bad show in general or anything, just that its massively overrated. Anyone who says its 2deep4u is either trolling or posturing in a way that makes them think they look clever (see my previous comment about literal/man-children)

This happens with a LOT of shows really, they arent even bad shows per se, but the sheer volume of hipster nonsense about them being deep usually leads to impossible expectations and inevitable disappointment.

>depth and sophistication
have you ever been to our threads we spend 500+ posts arguing on who best girl is and why kaiki's a cuck

>kaiki's a cuck

what do you mean

Monogatari is literally deeper and more sophisticated than most classic English Literature.

You're exaggerating the praise it gets by swinging around buzzwords, in order to make it sound like you know better because you're not part of the "children and manchildren".
You're just a pretentious fuck that's probably spending his first day on Sup Forums.

>t. Sword Art Online 10.00 myanimelist

>it's just that they focus less on the supernatural shenanigans and more on characters praising Araragi left and right.
I'm positive you haven't even watched anything but Nise.

Litteraly nothing to do with my post. You probably didn't even understand it, but just that I wasn't being nice to you.
Kill yourself.

If you read your own post again carefully you will notice that it is very obvious that you have no fucking idea what you are talking about

whats to understand?

I could maybe try to word it differently and explain it more thoroughly so you can understand but you don't even make me want to do that. I'll just point out some things in that post that didn't make sense and made you sound like an idiot.
You're actually using the term 2deep4me thinking it's ever used as something else than a joke or by idiots that dismiss remarks about them not understanding something about an anime with "muh 2deep4u you're just pretending to smart".
The same goes for depth, no serious commentary of an anime would use the word "depth" unless they're talking about some kind of hole. What "depth" actually means "I understand that it's saying something really smart and complicated but I don't really get it".
You're saying that the art style is mistaken for sophistication, completely ignoring that a visual art can be sophisticated by itself without the need of a story.
You're talking about "unconventionally high production values" for Bakemonogatari when it's the usual Shaft-style "let's make a lot of still-shots, make the most use of 3D possible and put a handful of well-animated scenes on top of it". Shaft-shows like Bakemonogatari can shine in the visual department because the they put their means to good use and have artistic sense, not because they had lot of japanese bucks.
Then the only thing you can come up to counter my post is "I'm sure you like SAO lol", citing SAO like it's the worst thing ever. But if you knew what you were talking about you'd also know that it's just a mediocre show like there is a fuckload made each season. You're just using it because it's loathed by e-celeb and you think nobody will contest your taste since you said "SAO is shit".

Fuck I ended up writing all of this for you. I hope you're happy now and you can go back to commenting on MAL or ANN and writing your next blog post.

If the cute girls aren't doing it for you, don't bother trying to comprehend the """""story""""".

I didn't read any of that sorry bro. I hope you have a great day/night depending on where you live anyways.

Then don't fucking come on an imageboard if you can't even read a post adressed to you you piece of shit.
But I understand that you're an idiot so I don't really mind after all you wouldn't even have understood my post if you had read it. It's my fault for bothering to educate a retard on the internet in the first place, I can only blame myself.

...

No it's okay but thank you for worrying about me.

>It's your run of the mill highschool supernatural/harem/romcom but
Yeah sure, all anime have characters interact with each other left and right, banter with the main character or be bros with him. Let alone have the girls form some sort of relationship among each other. I see that all the time in anime.

Just a quick heads up, I'm the guy who made that original post nearly two hours ago on my phone while taking a shit, and you've been arguing with/getting trolled by someone else entirely, and more than anything else proven my manchild assertion.

would you a bat cake, anons?

I'm not really surprised and that doesn't change much. I was too lazy to write a lengthy first post, he just gave me the motivation I needed.
And my post still stands as a response to yours.

In that case, you entirely misunderstood my post. You just rehashed my points basically.

2deep4u as a joke or dismissive remarks is a kind of trolling; which I already said.

If you can't understand that such a joke can be used to attack either side; I can't help you, I blame the schools.

If you're saying Shaft isn't relatively high budget; ok I guess, I did not do extensive research into that, nor can I be bothered to in an attempt to refute you.

I agree, they have nice visuals.

Your SAO argument is absolutely true, but the fact that you actually explained something like that is pretty funny. Do you frequently debunk memes with straightfaced explanations? Are YOU new? Do you know what memes are? Or is this a paraphilia of yours?

I did not at any point in my original post criticize monogatari, I'm not sure what you felt the need to defend or retaliate against based on what I said in the first place. I criticized fans such as yourself for creating this atmosphere of hipster pretension around it.

You don't seem like an idiot, although you seem to lack the ability to detect implications and tone, and endeavor and deign to 'educate' newfags to your beloved serious business anime imageboard. I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest that you go to see one and get tested; you might be autistic.

Nice damage control.
The next time try to write a comment that makes sense in the first place because you don't seem to be that dumb but this one really made you pass for an idiot.

I don't know where you saw me defending Bakemonogatari or implying you attacked it, I just pointed out specific things in your posts that were really dumb.

"SAO is terrible" isn't a meme in the sense that this word has here, if it still has a sense.
Only trolls and clueless idiots are saying it. I assumed he was/you were more a clueless idiot than a troll, that's why I bothered explaining it.

I was watching it for a while, and I felt like there was a lot of wordplay and punning going on that was probably pretty clever but just didn't translate well. And every episode did start to feel like just lots and lots of talking.

Then I dropped it when his sister gives him the toothbrushing. Just too skeevy for me.

...

It's not meant for girls anyway. Here's his other sister.

Is anything happening in monogatari even fucking real?

Seriously. How do we know that everything in this show isn't just araragi's teenage delusions? How do we know that the vampire is even a vampire? Maybe she's just some whore he found in a tunnel who gave him some std, then the disease spread to his head and now he thinks he's a vampire.

Senjogahara might not have been light as a feather. Maybe she was bulimic because of her mental issues, and araragi's syphilis addled brain exaggerated her lightness.

How do we know that the crazy weirdo that hangs out at the abandoned school wasn't just that, a crazy hobo who puts ridiculous ideas into araragi's head. Maybe that scene with the crab ghost was really completely different. Maybe that crazy guy was just tossing senjogahara around the room until she admitted what's bothering her, and that's how she was able to get over her bulimia, but araragi just hallucinated her being tossed about by a ghost crab.

How do we know that kaiki really made his sister sick? Maybe when she came by to bother him, he just kicked her ass right out and had her parents pick her up. Maybe she just got an ordinary flu and it had nothing to do with kaiki. Maybe kaiki's just a normal con artist with no special powers whatsoever, and araragi's edgy and AIDS riddled mind just imagined him as some scary guy with superpowers.

Was cat girl really turning into a cat, or was araragi's absurd std driven delusions mixing with his teenage libido to make something ridiculous happen in his head?

Is araragi actually surviving fatal injuries, or is he just exaggerating the severity of minor ones?

If hobo is crazy, what about crab? Is she just playing along? She did say that she couldn't see ghost loli, maybe it was because ghost loli actually wasn't there. Maybe she was never there. At any point, and those visions of her were just an outlet for araragi's repressed pedo tendencies? Did crab decide to just play along after that?

Is it any of it real?

Don't bother to watch this shit.
Hitagi will cheat on Araragi with her ex.

Yes, supernatural stuff do exist in that world, including vampires, ghosts, werewolves, mermaids and golems. Not a metaphor of any kind in-world, but the stronger is one's belief in them the more one is affected by it. Which is why convincing people that it's not real can make the effects go away in certain cases.

You are posting worst girl and a rotten cunt of the worst level.

Suggest to just leave it, your taste is terrible

>How do we know that everything in this show isn't just araragi's teenage delusions?
This argument could be applied to literally any fantasy themed anime.

Childhood is waifuing Cat, adulthood is realizing Crab makes more sense.

Childhood is Snail, early adolescence is Cat, late adolescence is Crab. Adulthood is realizing Bat makes the most sense.

Transcending the human condition and becoming a being of pure energy is going back to snail

adulthood is becoming a cucked virgin like kaiki

You're really upset that Kaiki fucked Crab before she hooked up with Araragi and while they were together, aren't you?

Were you high when you watched it?

I made that mistake my first time...

>mistake

Not OP but I was stoned as fuck the first time I watched it and even though I didn't know what the hell was going on the first few episodes, things started to fall into place.

You are just dumb

>I am legit retarded
Mystery solved user

There's something seriously wrong with you if Snake's your waifu

behead those who insult snek

Snake starts off great so I can see how some might get entangled with her especially after the first time she tries to seduce Araragi. Anyone who has Math as a waifu needs psychiatric help, however.

Why though? Math is literally a cute and kind but misunderstood dork. People who likes her best like me don't need psychiatric help, but she does

>misunderstood

Hard to understand someone who has a corpse for a roommate.

Misunderstood by others, there is literally no one outside of Araragi, Hanekawa and Ougi that knows about that and they understand her better than anyone else.

I was not talking about the readers/viewers.

Math > Snake any day

He walked her home gently

>caring about the plot of Waifubait: The Anime

i dont think a psychiatrist would help her at this point

He would sexually abuse her

You literally summarized the entirety of bake with this, with maybe a slight variation for the finale. Same for nise.
Why the fuck did I waste my time watching this?

Because everything in this world can be broken down to it's simplest parts and is not actual indicative of the quality of the series?

Everyone knows Eva is just about a boy with family issues who goes around making shit worse culminating in Orange Juice stock prices plummeting harder than Wall Street during the Great Depression.

Because it's a wild ride

Why can't my boyfriend understand this show? We've stopped watching it together at this point because I hate to have to pause and explain, then hear about how "that's dumb" nah nigger you're dumb. He also didn't understand Flip Flappers, FLCL, Madoka, Tatami Galaxy, etc anything that wasn't One Punch or FMA.

Fucking Shonen fags

The only thing I don't understand about FLCL is why it's even considered good.

Change boyfriend
Otherwise accept he's a shonenfag, or try to change him
