So there was talk about Shinobu? Who basically Nisio Isin's Arcueid. Hikaru already sums it enough, no need for me to explain ... or going far to Deathtropia Virtuoso Suicide Master LOL.

Monogatari series is my favorite among Shaft works, as well among Nisio Isin writings.

The exposition is terrible for the introduction (as usual) but once the casts established, its gold and stand better than most of his works. I guess he also aware of Monogatari popularity that he exploit it further. LOL.

Aside of Saito Chiwa and Sakamoto Maaya, there also Hanazawa Kana and Sawashiro Miyuki there. Sadly they're not getting screentime as much as those two.

If its about Shaft animation style, blame Shinbo, the animation director, for that. LOL.

Shinbo style of animation managed to receive a lot of praise as he succeeded on conveying Nisio Isin's infodump that was called Monogatari series. Successful enough that it became Shaft's trademark by now to the point it infected other series that worked by animators and directors who learned from Shaft (e.g. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu).
