Impression:

I thought there wasn’t going to be any continuation of Bakemonogatari, If there was I was thinking it would be like Bakemonogatary season 2 or Bakemonogatari ( insert caption here )… So after learning that it was renamed to Nisemonogatari, I downloaded it right away and it was still worth it.

The artwork and background was as neat and minimized as before and the character was limited. The music was also as sneaky and mysterious as before. New characters added a new flavor and provided a longer story. Be ready for the scene where they will use a toothbrush for a bet! It was really weird and freaky but was really funny! You can also see Koyomi’s vampire partner to not only talk to him but also Bathed with him O_O

Overall, if you enjoyed Bakemonogatari, then surely, you will enjoy watching this one. Certainly a must see anime.
