Bakemonogatari

If you can minus the multiple attempts in seduction by Senjogahara Hitagi *the girl*, then this anime is actually quite interesting. The characters are elaborated and detailed with their own specialties, so it's easy to differentiate them.

Araragi Koyomi is not your average teen. He's actually one-tenth of a vampire. The anime doesn't really explain how he was turned into one, but with the help of Oshino Meme - a middle-aged homeless guy who specializes in ghosts, gods and all those spiritual stuff - his transformation stopped.

Nonetheless, he still inherited some vampiric powers such as the ability to heal super fast and his sense of sight is much sharper :)

Oshino Meme, speaking about him, he's some kind of handler with what they call "oddities" such as vampires, weird going-ons and/or extraordinary people.

So one day, on the 8th of May, Araragi Koyomi meets Senjogahara Hitagi when she slips on a banana peel on her way down the stairs and falls into the arms of Koyomi. But what's this? Koyomi realizes she's as light as a feather.

Not wanting Koyomi to butt in her business further, Hitagi threatens Koyomi by stapling the inside of his mouth.

*I forgot to mention. When people "fight" in this anime, you might wanna cover your face with a pillow, because they-are-really-violent*

However, chasing after her almost after he got stapled, Hitagi was about to declare a war *and she starts brandishing all sorts of stationery from her pockets* when Koyomi shows her the inside of his mouth.

She gasps when she realizes there was no wound.

And after gaining her trust, Hitagi introduces her to Oshino Meme, whom he says can help her overcome her weight problem. Turns out she had her weight taken away by a Crab God. They explain about her situation of course, but I can't really tell you everything that's happened or you wouldn't need to buy the CD :)

The songs in the anime are really nice, though. I've already given you the lyrics to the two songs I love the most :)

Oh, and for those who like romance anime style, then you'd like this, because Hitagi is hilarious when she confesses in the second episode :) The last episode is my favourite though, cause Koyomi meets Hitagi's dad and they go on a date :P

The "date", though, is not during the day, it's during the night, and it's really nice. No fancy dinner or dances like that. Instead, it's a night out :) Really, really nice. Hitagi's really funny cause she's blur and dense :P

I love Koyomi. He's so cute :P If you look at the last picture on top again properly, you'll see some of his hair stand on end, right? It moves according to the situation, so it's hilarious to watch :P
