One day in May, while preparing for the school festival, high school senior Koyomi Araragi discovers the secret of her classmate Hitagi Senjougahara, whom she has not spoken to for three years. Hitagi does not participate in PE at all and continues to go to the hospital, but the truth is that she has hardly any weight to call her own. After school on the day he discovers the secret, Koyomi receives persistent threats from Hitagi not to reveal the secret, but he is undeterred and offers to help her with her secret. According to her, two years ago she met a mysterious crab, which took all of her weight.

The highlight of Bakemonogatari is that it is a ‘conversational drama’. The rapid-fire dialogue between the characters is really interesting. This is made possible thanks to the splendid voice actors. The voice actors match the dialogue perfectly to the rapidly changing images.
The dialogue is also faithful to the original work as much as possible. We hope that you will enjoy the splendour of the images along with the conversational drama. Various tricks hidden in the images, such as effective and flexible camera work and light and shadow effects, are also something to look forward to.
Overall, there is no doubt that this is a truly shocking anime.
