So this is the first series on the winter season I’m going to watch Nisemonogatari.
Nisemonogatari is a sequel to an excellent anime called Bakemonogatari, now this is not a light series, you have to pay attention and most of the time you wont get everything at first ( in fact after watching this episode i still have some questions about what happened between series but that will be explained later i think).
Anyway this is also my first anime i watch in a Crunchyroll simulcast since i got a free trial wich you should try, since im not in my computer i will also use some screen caps I found on the net, starting next week will be my own again.
this part made no sense yet i think will be explained a lot later.
The story is about Araragi a guy who is/ used to be a vampire, and his little harem of girls he helped overcome some curses ( not a harem in the definition but there’s only girls in there so yeah).
the first episode of Nisemonogatari makes no sense if you didn’t watch Bakemonogatari ( and a lot is not even explained for those who watched ) making it a bit difficult for newcomers to endure it, there’s some pretty funny stuff in the episode but still a bland introduction.
All of the past season characteristics are intact the random color scenes, the static scenes with a lot of talking, the awesome animated scenes and a visual clarity rarely seen on anime ( seriously even at 720p streamed it looked gorgeous) the lighting is awesome and knowing Shaft the Blu-rays are going to be much better since they always add stuff.
weird lolicon scene #2
To make long story short: you should watch Bakemonogatari first if you want to watch and understand most of Nisemonogatari, but it looks like its going to be as great as the first season.
and now the trailer (slighty NSFW):
Watch Nisemonogatari in crunchyroll.
You’re right when you say this is no a light anime. Heavy on the conversation, loads of movements (referring to scene animations) and stuff. It took quite a while to get used to those when I watched Bakemonogatari but now, I’m used to it and enjoyed every minute of it.
