Song: Alex Walker - Fade - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM7SZ5SBzyY Why I think the featured shows are similar to the Monogatari Series: Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come - If you like one of these male leads you should enjoy the perspective of the other. While Yahari is really starred by the main female instead of the main male the females have a lot in common in terms of being independent, strong and confusing for the males to figure out. Both shows feature limited but well developed for 12 ep anime series supporting casts. Noragami - Both series involves action, drama, and comedy with humorous dialogues. Bakemongatari focuses more on word play and narrative dialogues while Noragami uses gags for comedy. The main protagonist in both series gets involved with events that puts their lives in danger. There is also a bit of influence from folklore and legends relating to various cultures to some degrees. Sankarea - The main females are both beautiful and strange, giving the romance plots similar feels despite the stories and themes of the shows being quite different. Both shows have ecchi elements but in a more sexy and mature way (esp in Monogatari's case) than most anime can manage to pull off. Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko - Similar mood and setting. Being made by Shaft, both drawings are very similar to each other. Protagonist has harem. Somehow the whole story just seems to be an alternative version or inspiration to Monogatari. Kyoukai no Kanata - Bakemonogatari and Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) are series with supernatural themes involving the events of the main characters. The events behind both series are bizarre as the main male protagonist finds himself dealing with various supernatural creatures. The main protagonist also seems to have immortality with gifted powers. There's a sense of mystery going on as well regarding the origins of the characters. Dance in the Vampire Bund - Both deal with supernatural (vampires). Both have a slow-paced romantic storyline full of intriguing twists. Both are created with the participation of Studio Shaft; Both share a similar art-style and atmosphere, so if you've enjoyed the one, you'll probably like the other, too. Hyouka - Lots and lots of witty dialogue. Even some moments when the art becomes all surreal like Monogatari. Zetsuen no Tempest - I've just seen the previous recommendation and while I'm completely disagree with the previous person's opinion about similarities between Zetsuen no Tempest and Monogatari Series, I've remembered that I know one similarity between these two titles myself. Fuwa Aika and Senjougahara Hitagi are very much alike. They are both clever, both were the ones who actually made the first step in romantic relationships and both like to tease their respective romantic partner in a good-natured and intellectual way. I ought to say that out of all the anime I've watched, there was only one character who strongly resembles Senjougahara in terms of personality and that is Aika (and visa versa). Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica - I know this might seem like its very unlikely, I am doing this recommendation through their artistic direction. Because Shaft and the ever crazy Shinbou were responsible for the production of this series, their art direction is very close to being 100% parallel. They are both filled with so many abstract images and one could even see a completely similar frame in Madoka and compare it to one in Bakemonogatari. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - A series of strange occurrences befall our audience-counterpart leading male, while trying to deal with super-tsundere leading females, and a faux-harem of other strange females. Both toy with the tropes and cliches of the genre, while retaining unique and interesting voices. Toaru Majutsu no Index - Both are similar because they feature a reluctant, impotent but extremely invulnerable high school male main character, who continuously finds himself saving (passive) aggressive females who become enamored with him. Though Toaru Majustu never really commits to just one female, and Bakemonogatari is more sexually charged. Kill la Kill - Both series give away the impression of a "Mind-Fuck" animation. While Bakemonogatari focuses on philosophy, Kill la Kill specifies in total randomness. Moreover, both of them tend to deliver some pretty overkilling combat animations, which I would rate high in quality, one of the main reasons for it being the uniqueness. Regardless of the fact that Bakemonogatari tends to be deeper than Kill la Kill, both series do bring a similar sensation at the end of the day. ★ DISCLAIMER ★ I do not own the anime, music, artwork or the lyrics.
