Monogatari

There's a small line of kids behind me, but I don't have any intention of giving up my seat! Enjoyed this much more than I did the first time around, especially due to having read a good chunk of the novels now. I still feel that this is mostly setup for better arcs in the future, but I mean, those wouldn't have the same incredible payoff if Bake didn't lay the groundwork, which I think I appreciate much more now. Some of the arcs in this feel a tad too short, especially Nadeko Snake, but this is resolved with the novel and later arcs. As with any Monogatari part, perfect characters, super funny, and impeccable direction/music. Episode twelve is an all timer, exceptional in every way.
