Mouryou no Hako is seriously underrated, and if you loved Bakemonogatari like me, you'll probably adore Mouryou no Hako, too.
Both have major story elements of mystery ("who done it?") and youkai/spirits. The narrative styles are similar, as both shows can be dialogue-heavy, but the conversations are always witty, mystifying, etc. Neither show is particularly gory, but there is an eerie, creepy atmosphere in both (in addition to "body horror" ideas present in both titles). That said, Bakemonogatari has many more moe girls and otaku jokes, and Mouryou no Hako has a more mature psychological puzzle at its core.

If you're into dialogue driven stories, go check the other anime.
Both are very heavy in dialogue, mostly about philosophical debates that, while they have little to nothing to do with the story, can delve in depth with Japanese mythology and wordplay. Really, both have a lot of wordplay and playing with Japanese Kanji.
They are also supernatural mysteries as well about creatures that haunt people, although Mouryou no Hako only focuses in Mouryou, Monogatari series focuses on several creatures.
