Bakemonogatori
The 15-episode anime series adapts NisiOisin’s Bakemonogatari light novels. The short stories in NisiOisin’s 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.) The series originally aired in Japan in 2009.
