>>2677781Third one is on my list to watch too, decided to watch them all for completeness but I'm definitely happy I did that cause it was neat watching it knowing stuff you don't the first time. Might get my friend to watch it after I've seen it cause he said he didn't want to mess with the ending, and I have some vague idea of what happens due to an OP on /a/ I caught a glance of, so I might as well watch it anyway, especially if it's good and doesn't fuck with it (not to say I've been spoiled, I just know something vague that I would imagine is pretty early on).
I've only seen Bakemonogatari, it's alright; good I guess, but nothing special, people seem to like it though so I dunno. The lack of background or side characters is certainly unique.
