Synopsis

The short stories in the two volumes of Bakemonogatari deal with a high school boy named Koyomi Araragi and strange students he encounters. ("Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.) One student, a girl named Hitagi Senjōgahara, almost literally falls into his lap, only to have him discover she has no weight.

My review:
"Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.The ghosts in the story are gods or spirits(i.e oniis) who have cast their own special curses on humans resulting in supernatural effects on the humans on whom the curses are cast.Almost each episode starts and ends a story arc,as we see many characters getting introduced as the series progresses.The main plot of the story deals with
Koyomi Araragi who takes an interest in a girl whom he catches while she was falling down from the center of a spiral starircase.After catching the girl he realises that she posseses no weight!!

(That's quite a violent scene)

Episode 2 onwards we are drawn into the characters personalities and their peculiar traits,wee also learn more about the background of the main characters especially Senjohara.

(No comment on the scene above)
Episode 3 &4 takes the story to a new arc.Though most of episode 3 contains only a dialogues between the main characters(Their conversation got kind of weird and boring at times)

(Park conversation in episode 3)

Anyway here's the DDL'S for the anime

Episode 1

Episode 2

Episode 3

Kolkata Anime Club(KAC)

The 12th of December saw the Birth of the first official anime club of Kolkata.After nearly a month of haggling with the dates on Facebook,we finally managed to choose a date to have our first meet.Many had decided to attend,but some pulled out later with the Facebook event page showed only 7 people attending!Nevertheless we decided to carry on on hold the meet as scheduled.The meet was held on a lazy sunday afternoon at a well known mall Kolkata i.e South City.I arrived there a good half an hour early and made my way to the food court where the meet was supposed to be held.After a bit of searching ,I found the KAC members seated near the KFC outlet.Our club president Nia(Nyaa~Chan as we fondly call her ^_^),was the first to recognise me and I soon enough I found myself seated among a small and dedicated otakuish group.10 mins later and after the arrival of a few more members we started off our meet dot on time.."Introductions Please" ,as Nia said,and I was the first one to ...

Steins; Gate 0- A Dark Tale of Okabe Rinatarou That Time Forgot

Steins; Gate 0- A Dark Tale of Okabe Rinatarou That Time Forgot . ( REVIEW IS TO BE READ ONLY BY STEINS; GATE FANS, AS THE POST MAY CONTAIN MILD SPOILERS FROM THE ORGINAL ANIME/VN. IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN STEINS; GATE ,BUT YOU HAVE SEEN TOKYO GHOUL, YOU REALLY...REALLY... NEED TO IMPROVE YOUR SHIT TASTE IN ANIME) Ok, firstly it’s been a long time since I posted any sort of reviews as I consider myself nothing less of lazy. But, someone who’s an avid fan of the series I could not resist to post a review of this. Steins; Gate 0 isn’t actually a sequel to Steins; Gate. It actually serves as a midquel to the original show/VN and fills in a lot of details that probably did not cross our mind. In terms of where the events of Steins; Gate 0 fits in the timeline, you all will need to jog your memory right towards where Okabe fails in his first attempt to open a path to Steins; Gate and is completely distraught. At that moment Okabe receives a video message from himself f...
