Synopsis
Araragi Koyomi, a third year high school student recently survived an attack from vampire. Somehow, after that he kept on finding oddities such as gods, spirits, and ghosts around him. The story began when his classmate, Senjougahara Hitagi fall of the stairs. She caught and saved Hitagi, but felt that her body was weightless. Soon, he found out that Hitagi was possessed by an oddity. When Hitagi tried to silence him from telling her secret of being weightless, he offered her a help from Oshino Meme, a specialist who saved his life back then. Out of expectation, Hitagi accept his offer and the story begins...
In this series of events, Koyomi found himself encountering many new heroines, with everyone's stories packed into a series of episodes with one title, those episodes are divided into:
1. Hitagi Crab (2 parts)
2. Mayoi Snail (3 parts)
3. Suruga Monkey (3 parts)
4. Nadeko Snake (2 parts)
5. Tsubasa Cat (5 parts)
With one new heroine appearance in each arc.
Strength:
Very unique background and world outline, which can create odd nuances throughout the stories, such as fragmented real picture mixed with anime picture. Dialogues, jokes and sarcasm really have deep meaning that enhance the story well. Animation are good, especially with the fragmented picture. Nice ending theme which match with episode 12. Characters are developed very well, their personality is depicted with a lot of details.
Weakness:
May be very boring in some parts, like the Mayoi Snail (well, this anime is based on dialogues anyway), so those who long for action and some adrenaline-activating scene can't find it here.
The synopsis pages in the first part of the anime change up too fast, it needs some pausing and even rewind.
Screenshot:
Okay, the famous "warning scene", which I assume more like "life threatening". Hitagi opened Koyomi's mouth with a cutter, then insert a staple between his cheek and inside. Warning: she stapled his mouth once. However, Koyomi still offered a help (man, are you fearless? don't think you can handle anything just because you are a vampire !)
Oshino Meme, the oddity specialist. Some might think that his last name is somewhat moe, but he is a GUY in fact...anyway, he's one of the key character that always help Koyomi dealing with the oddities. His "western" theme song is somewhat cool and match his personality.
Hanekawa Tsubasa, cat version. Can't believe that she turned to be a totally different person at first. Personification of Hanekawa's stress. First time appeared during the Golden Week.
