So let’s start my impressions with the animation. So I waited three episodes and am now satisfied that Shaft won’t shaft us with falling animation quality. I could have written this post up after the first episode because I knew with absolute certainty that Shaft/Shinbo smashed a grand slam with this one but I decided to wait for an indication of if Shaft would be unable to maintain the breathtaking animation of Bakemonogatari.
#EPISODE CROSS WEIGHT MONOGATARI SERIES#
From here they’ve already dropped a few hints that other people around him are also unnatural and so the rest of the series will probably consist of short arcs centering around these individuals while building the larger story. Araragi is able to convince Senjougahara that he knows someone that might be able to help her and turns out he’s right. He rushes to catch her and is surprised to find that she weighs practically nothing – the start of a great friendship, as the saying goes. One day, he witnesses a girl, Senjougahara, slip and fall off a very high balcony.
Until recently he was a vampire but with the help of a mysterious figure he was able to recover his humanity with only a few small side effects like being able to heal quickly and being to read from extreme distances. The story, for those unfamiliar, is centered around a senior in high school by the name of Araragi. Yeah, I know, it’s not that big of a surprise, especially since I put my ratings above. I didn’t know how it would compare to Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei but I could at least be assured that it would not be visually boring or generic.Īnd – Surprise!! – it was neither. The second new series of the season brought to us by the SHAFT/Shinbo team is Bakemonogatari which apparently literally translates to “monster stories” but to mimic the wordplay of the Japanese title it’s being translated as “Ghostory”.
