You don't understand.
Monogatari is to the romance/ecchi/story genre what Fate/Zero is to the action, what HxH is to the shonen, what SNK/SAO is to the mainstream.
It's not only exceptionally well done in characters, animation, and themes, it's probably the only show that has decent/interesting dialogue with visual eye-candy mixed in throughout the entire show. I don't have to sit there and watch two fucking morons explain to me what magic is. I don't have to sit there and watch "senpai!" bullshit moe. It's just...more mature? more direct? Less repetitive bullshit?
-Characters
-Animation
-Theme
-Soundtrack
-Dialogue
All top. This is like the fucking super mario 3 of anime.
-----------------
If any other show came close to the monogatari I'd gladly watch it and give it such praise, so far none have. You got one to recommend I'll check it out.

Well still is, but also I think Eva is the matrix of anime tbh.*(edited it).
Actually no. AoT is all action, it would be more comparable to Godzilla or Pacific Rim than GoT>
I'd say GoT is more likely the easy comparison if it weren't for what GoT really is.(berserk would be more comparable).
--------------------------------
IDK, all I got to say is that until a show even comes close to topping it, I still rate it #1 as far as critic shit.
Double one piece? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...st-half/.75177
It's overhyped but popularity wise it definitely goes up with GoT.
