I've finished all the monogatari series thus far, and I've gotta say, the story keeps on getting better. The first season of monogatari focused mainly on exploring the various characters and their individual problems, whilst the second season focused more on plot and story development. I've gotta say the dialogue really put me off from starting this series, "so many words and no action", but really this series is really about the story rather than the action, which is good for a change from your average shounen anime. All in all, if you've watched the first season "bakemonogatari" this season follows a similar plot and won't leave you disappointed. (show less)
