History YMMV / Bakemonogatari

* TheWoobie: Once you get past the weird humor and puns, you realize the lives of the girls in this series ''SUCK.''

* FetishFuel: ''Nisemonogatari'' Episode 8 never let you look at toothbrushing the same way again.

* NightmareFuel: See NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on the main page; [[spoiler:Suruga's constant hysterical screaming of "HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!" while savagely beating Koyomi is quite disturbing.]]
** Senjogahara can be [[{{Yandere}} a little frightening with her threats.]]

* UnfortunateImplications[=/=]FanDisservice: the overall sexualization of Nadeko (as well as the bizarre treatment Araragi gives to Mayoi) trend in an unfortunate direction.

* HarsherInHindsight: When Tsubasa finds Koyomi beating up Mayoi, she tells him that it's wrong to hit a child without telling them a justifiable reason. We later find out that Tsubasa's stepfather physically abuses her. It's like a deliberate example; Tsubasa has ScaryShinyGlasses as she makes the former statement.

* FridgeBrilliance: A crab that steals weight? Well, keep in mind that the variant myths Oshino lists all refer to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_the_Moon#Pareidolia_and_other_things_on_the_moon lunar pareidolia]] (crab, rabbit, woman). Reduced gravity on the moon, remember?

* BetterOnDVD: "Nadeko Snake" in particular is much, '''much''' better. [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/01/31/nadeko-shafted-in-bakemonogatari-dvd/ See for yourself (NSFW).]]

* FanNickname: Arara[[OverlyLongGag rararara]]gi-san. Attributed to Mayoi's frequent mispronunciation of Koyomi's name. See RunningGag below.

* UnfortunateImplications[=/=]FanDisservice: the overall sexualization of Nadeko (as well as the bizarre treatment Araragi gives to Mayoi) trend in an unfortunate direction.

* BetterOnDVD: "Nadeko Snake" in particular is much, '''much''' better, although it [[YourMileageMayVary may or may not be to your liking]] that the loli fanservice got cranked UpToEleven. [[http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/01/31/nadeko-shafted-in-bakemonogatari-dvd/ See for yourself (NSFW).]]

* UnfortunateImplications[=/=]FanDisservice: For some, the overall sexualization of Nadeko (as well as the bizarre treatment Araragi gives to Mayoi) trend in an unfortunate direction. Of course, [[YourMileageMayVary you might not mind that sort of thing.]] For double the fun, check out some of the YouTube commentary on Nadeko's opening sequence; some of the fan response is disturbingly... enthusiastic over someone who's supposed to be in middle school.

** It's possible to have a serious discussion on /a/?

* FetishFuel: [[IOweYouMyLife "Or I could wake you up every morning for a week,]] [[HadakaApron wearing nothing but an apron."]]
** Episode 9: '''Bloomers'''
** Episode 10: '''School Swimsuit'''
** Episode 11: '''Cat ears'''
** Episode 13: {{Meganekko}}[[UnusualEars mimi]]. '''With pajamas.'''

* BetterOnDVD: "Nadeko Snake" in particular is much, '''much''' better, although it [[YourMileageMayVary may or may not be to your liking]] that the {{lolicon}} fanservice got cranked UpToEleven.

* TheMasochismTango: [[UnluckyEverydude Araragi]] and Senjougahara aka Crazy {{Tsundere}} Stapler Girl's relationship is about as weird and unlikely, and usually downright sadistic as it gets. And yet somehow it works, for them.
