Having watched and absolutely Loved Bakemon I was really anxious to watch Nisemonogatari. Did I have any thoughts about what would be in it? No. I had none because the ending of Bakemonogatari I wont say was perfect but it cut it pretty close everything simply ended and as such you can not really compare the two much Nisemonogatari still has its predecessors unique way of story tell fun lines and the somewhat bizarre animation with is as awesome if not more. There is really a lot I would like to say but it would be a long essay because the series has so much content that you can just be be drawn into and later on ponder on without releasing it some things you may have noticed yourself even so I wont. Nisemonogatari in my opinion is not a complete equal to Bakemonogatari it is its own and quite honestly I found it very refreshing to watch in a way so many anime drag out one theme and plot through 3-5 even more season this anime is nothing like that and i hope you will watch even the first episode truly see for yourself just how unique it is. With this said I saw one thing. WATCH IT you wont be disappointed one bit (show less)

This anime is really good, i watched bakemonogatari like 2 years ago and i was awed by it and i was very excited to watch the sequel and i wasn't disappointed. like bakemonogatari the main feature in this anime is the dialogue, most of the time half the episode would be spent in dialogue between two characters but dont misunderstand, the dialogue alone is great and if u focus on it u will find it quite hilarious and serious at the same time. storywise im glad they're following the light novels (i think they are but i havent read all of them) and it all goes smoothly so u went get lost in the middle of an episode and start thinking "wait where did this guy come from?" or something. the Animation really exceeded my expectations, its way much better that its prequel and feels more like an anime not a picture book. all in all, a Highly recommended anime and you will be very entertained if u watch this series though of course i recommend watching the prequel bakemonogatari before this. cant wait to watch the kizumonogatari movie D (show less)

I was a bit skeptical about the second season of the Monogatari series but I have been proven wrong as it made its way into my top favourite.
For those who have never seen Bakemonogatari than the anime is likely to make less sense to you so I recommend watching Bake first before watching Nise.
For those who have seen Bakemonogatari celebrate for the second season is far better than the first in my opinion.
Unlikely the first season Nise has less of the random scenes of colour and unexplained scenery. This moves more smoothly like most anime however at the same time still retaining these random colour scenes.
The voices are all the same (thank god Hiroshi Kamiya is still there XD) so no need to fret about new voices in familiar characters (just one new voice in a familiar character. I'll let you find out who it is). However there are new characters and even a new bad guy. The comedy is just as funny and the events just as suspenseful.

So to sum it up for those who watched and loved Bakemonogatari then you'll love Nisemonogatari just as much possibly even more. For any newcomers I recommend you watch the first season before this one however if you decide against doing so it should still make sense (just less than if you watched the first season). It is an anime of the supernatural with action and comedy so anyone interested in that sort of genre then this is for you. (show less)
