I just found it....boring? I mean the art was great but there were a lot of segments where it was nothing but internal monologuing with trippy scenery or background. I guess it falls down to a pacing issue. It took them three episodes to do what any other series would do in one or two.
Nisemonogatari was much more boring imo, probably because they were just two stories lengthened out into a small series.

this ed flaunts that by walking you through their world, with characters that have all at least made one appearance in the series

Huh? IIRC that was the OP for the entire series as it was broadcast. Did they change it for Netflix or the DVDs? Because it's not unheard of for Netflix to change music that they don't have the rights to stream. They did that for Skins (UK TV series)
to clarify, the song "falling down" was used in the first episode on the dvd
every other episode on the dvd have the song replaced by "michael ka belial"

Bokurano Opening Uninstall (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05p646nlYS0#ws)
I'm watching Narutaru now and I cannot figure out why I waited so long to do so. I think it's because I wanted to read the manga synchronously and I heard Dark Horse censored parts of it. Plus it was flipped right to left for the English release and that just totally throws me off.
Oye, mustn't forget about the final Opening for Monogatari 2.
Monogatari Second Season OP 4 English Lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvIEztK_gwQ#ws)
I think it's one of the most brilliantly executed openings ever when viewed from the perspecive of someone who actually knows the show and its characters as well as the corny clichés that it makes fun of.
First time you lose your shit is when you see the red sports car, become aware of the corny setting and hear that silly 80's vibe in the melody. Second time when Kaiki actually starts to sing. And despite being a blatant parody on several terrible retro steroetypes out there, it still carries a significant and very accurate hidden message about the characters. Whoever comes up with this stuff is a genius.
To be honest, I really disliked the series when I first started to watch Bakemonogatari, but at some point (around the first rewatch or so) I really began to enjoy it for some reason. It simply does have something special about it.
there are like 5 bakemonogatari op/eds in this thread and this still hasn't been posted

Is that so? Interesting...
As I have read recently, he was also the one who convinced Urobuchi to go for the ending of the third Madomagi movie. Otherwise it would have ended with Homura joining Madoka instead of fucking shit up big time and becoming the anti hero. I personally liked that choice much more than a simple conclusion with no further conflicts but I know that there are some people here who think differently.

the ending was changed so they could make more sequels, not because it was the most edgiest. but it was pretty fucking edgy.
lol Urobuchi was basically forced to go for that cliffhanger ending instead of concluding the story. In fact, he didn't even want to continue the story at all after the TV anime. I'm not denying that there's some serious cash cow milking going on right there, but I wont complain as long as they don't turn one of my favorite animes ever into a shitfest with some half hearted conclusion.
The way the story is developing right now does seem to go into an interesting direction. We basically have two best friends turned into (potential) enemies in this concept, which was actually an idea suggested by Shinbo that was reluctantly accepted by Urobuchi. Ironically, he later "admitted that this was a breakthrough for him". I have a rough idea what kind of conclusion they might go for, but I guess for now we'll just have to wait...
from interviews i've read it seems like he has just convinced himself that he made the right choice after being pressured into changing it. i think the movie as a whole had a lot more problems than just the ending, though. it was kind of a mess of a film. visually it was stunning, but it had some huge pacing issues and they went a little overboard with the action - and to make matters worse they were doing boatloads of exposition when shit was happening all over the screen.
in any case, since they didn't end the series very properly they have one more chance for Homura to 'redeem' herself. unless they are ok with turning an interesting and unique character into a stereotypical yandere.
