Anything by SHAFT is bound to be artsy and creative (shows like Maria+Holic and the two ef series definitely come to mind). That they're able to pair it with good music is awesome too! @FaS

Also “Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari” wins out for ED of the year. @Reltair

It's been a while since I've seen Bakemonogatari, but I wouldn't have recognized this song as the OP. The ED, "Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari", is way more memorable for me, but that might be because I've had it on loop at random times. It sounds lighthearted and calm to me; I like it!

Yeah, I dropped that show about 7 episodes in since it was so dull compared to A's and the original series. And yes, I'd definitely recommend Bakemonogatari. Your mileage may vary depending on how you view the director's quirks, but most of the people who I've shown it to and who get it really like it. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that episode 12 is just really awesome. Best episode of the year even. @Canne The OP definitely gives it flavor and personality. I'm always struck by how they managed to put those staplers in those... erm.. positions. Very catchy piece overall. @Karisu I'm in that same boat too since I found myself unable to skip it when I watch it because of just how much this song identifies with those two. The last two Tsubasa Cat episodes have taken their time and I'm impatient waiting for what Horie Yui serves up for her version. Some Renai Circulation would be fine too. Ditto to your last paragraph. @Yi

It is an infinitely listenable, catchy, force of a song. Much as you said in your review, listening to it immediately brings about images and scenes of Senjougahara and Araragi. Hearing it here again I'm reminded what a pleasant surprise it was to discover Bakemonogatari this year, and how much I look forward to the 14th (and 15th) episodes being released, just so I could enjoy the music, animation, and characters again. I'm not sure you can be a fan of the anime and not a fan of the song as well. I highly recommend both to everyone.

After that, I find myself humming its melody every now and then. The song is nice and easy to enjoy but it is not outstanding in any way until I watch the anime’s OP.

It's a great song. I like Chiwa Saito quite a bit too. I think she did some songs for Nanoha.
