Can someone tell me what the fuck I just watched?
I feel like I'm missing something. It seems like this series is a very interpretive retelling of some ancient Japanese mythological story and I'm just clueless.
Either that or it's just some incredibly chuuni shit name dropping mythological figures and relics in a completely original, incoherent story.
I just wanted to watch a NEET girl doing NEET things.
Regardless, this show was clearly just a playground for Shaft to go full fucking ham on their Shaft style and try new, ambitious shit. Probably was no risk involved with all the Monogatari money lying around.

Like a true redditor
A very poorly done LN adaptation

I dropped that garbage nonsense on the second episode.
Good to know I missed nothing
I put this in the same realm as MCA even though the art and animation is better with Sasami. Overall the story shit itself at the last episode. But it was a fun time.

Mekkaku was absolute trash from beginning to end, Sasami had spikes of creativity and entertainment at least.
Mekkaku's source material was also way worse to begin with.

I agree. But the reason why I dont shit on MCA as hard as I should is because I was already familiar with the source and music videos. In all honesty, the anime itself was just the music videos being stretched out for 23 minutes. I got what I aspected. With Sasami I was disappointed because as you said, there were the spikes of greatness. Sasami was just a missed oppruntinty. But the art and animation was def its highlight along with its characters.
Out of the "bad" shaft Id say Vampire Bund is the best in that bunch.

The LN was very poorly done too.

Yes, but the pacing and the mood in the anime was total ass

The episodes before the goddess appeared were great, I was so hyped for a comfy series about a cute girl and her allmighty oblivious brother. Suddenly everything exploded and only the RPG episode was enjoyable.
