Holy mother of poo-py.

This is the holy grail,sire.

It's all good, it's all funny.

Angel Densetsu is by far one of my favorite mango's. I sat through one session and actually read the whole thing.

Actually that's not true it took me like 2 days.

... Anyway...

This series is a must-read. It's a feel-good story. On with the review!

Story: Oh boy is this a fun ride! You'll be laughing and reelin' at every single panel that has Kitano in it. It's pure gold. I was nearly choking on my spit at every page. You're gonna have a fun time, trust me.

Art: Woo. Fair. It has got some style and looks different than most. Art isn't as bad as most say. It's pretty good, actually. It doesn't turn you off at all.

I felt a bit off at first, but the art becomes a part of you and the story.

Character: They have feelings, yes. Many of the characters are different, yes. Many of them are smart. Some of them are dumb. There's a great variety of people and you can't help but to admit that KITANO is your god-damned favorite character.

He's lovable, funny, silly, scary. Hell, he's everything.

He definitely makes the series. He is the series.

Actually disregard that since the other characters support him and make him look even better and they lift the story up into something greater as well.

Enjoyment: I am so giving this a 10. It was fun and good and made me feel UNGHHH.

It's great. A feel-good manga that gets ya a dancin'.

Overall: 9!

Calculator gave me a 8.6, but I really enjoyed this so I'm givin' it a little somethin' somethin'.

Great read, guys.

Yes, I'm female. I hate romance. I read yaoi.
Yes, my standards are higher than the sky.

Onani

Master

Kurosawa.

This god-damned series took my enjoyment, my laughter from the beginning of the story and crushed it into a little ball.
...
This story will punch you in the face if you're not careful.

A lot of good disappointment, sorrow, anxiety...

You find yourself rooting for a disgusting, two-faced boy. How could anything be worse than that?

Better yet, when you see these horrible bullies, you want him to dish out justice, pain.

You can't feel remorse for these bullies. You love it, you relish in their sorrow.

You know that karma goes around, but the feeling right now is an utter delicacy. It's delicious.

The climax of the story will have you wailing and crashing straight down a roller-coaster. It's good.

I didn't think I liked it the first time I picked it up. I was laughing at every panel, scene, supposed seriousness...

Then it got me, reeled me in. The series took off with Kurosawa as your cruel, yet inspiring pilot.

When he hurts, you hurt. When he is scared, you are as well. Whatever you feel, he is almost thinking the same way.

You feel him.

-Story: Simply fantastic. No words can describe it. Read it. Read it and experience it for yourself. The feeling is to be shared with no one, but you and the beloved Kurosawa.

-Art: Fair, easy to look at but not amazing. The characters are distinguishable, save for the girls. They all look the same. No matter!

-Character: Top-notch. The cruelest are whom you are rooting for. The good? They are equally as bad, as cruel. This series has got it all, the sickening true face of humanity. We are all bad. We are all good. The character development is divine. They realize things themselves and somehow pull themselves out of each of his or her own self-made turmoil.

-Enjoyment: IT WAS GREAT. I am not one who is crazy for romance, but I wanted Kurosawa to get with who he wanted. I wanted him to reach his goals. If you read Onani Master, you will definitely be enjoying the ride. Don't forget your seat-belts!

-Overall: 8/10 based on calculator. I'd give it a 9.

If you stop at the beginning...
If you are sensitive to the "Onani" subject...
If you have a frail heart...

You don't know what you're missing.

Read this, it'll get you.

If you're looking for an adrenaline-pumping, anxiety-giving anime for your hot, red-blooded selves...

Then Bakemonogatari is not for you.

I disliked this series. I prefer action and suspense and Bakemonogatari did not invoke any feeling in me.

I simply clicked an episode and as soon as it started my mind would wander due to sheer boredom.

The story was very poor to me, I didn't know what was going on 99% of the time and there are a lot of pointless scenes (fanservice included, I guess). They repeatedly jumped around scenes and there was some skipping here and there... Not that I really cared.

The art was alright. It was ... fine to look at, but wasn't great or "different" or anything. You could say the random shots of random things are creative, but they were nuances to me and weren't particularly thought-provoking. They were just random and just, well... There.

The sound, I could bear. It wasn't inspiring and didn't enhance the scenes for me. Sometimes the sound didn't match with scenes. Very confusing.

Character development was poor. The characters seemed very one-dimensional. Plastic. I found myself asking the screen "really...?" as I watched this series.

I definitely did not enjoy this. At all.

Overall I give BAKEMONOGATARI a 4.

It came out to 3.4 on my calculator but I will give it some credit to trying.

Trying too hard.

To be serious, if you want to watch something to get your heart hammering then
I do not recommend this series!
