Both are very dark, beautifully animated, and have spiritual/paranormal feels. Both involving a girl who at one point wanted to severely harm/kill the male protagonist but then learned to love him.

Bakemonogatari reminded me of a mix of Clannad and Petite Cossete. Like Clannad, Bakemono has a spiritual side as well as having humor even in the most serious of scenes. Both had wonderful animation, though they both definitely have they're own styles, they're both beautifully animated in they're own right. Both male protagonist remind me of each other, funny, serious, and surrounded by women of all ages. On that note, Bakemono is far more explicit than Clannad which I find to be an unnecessary addition to an otherwise nice anime. Overall, if Bakemono had taken a few more cues from Clannad, it would have been much better. But as it is, I think a fan of Bakemonogatari would appreciate Clannad and visa-versa. P.S. The fact that I am even comparing Bakemono to my favorite anime of all time means that it is definitely at least worth thinking about watching.
