This thing is the definition of pretentious. You look up "pretentious" in the diccionary, and you find monogatari. It's almost insulting how egotistical it is, like it's trying so hard to show you how cool it is yet when you look past the pretty visuals, what you get is a half-assed, meaningless show.

Monogatari is literally the opposite of pretentious. It's full of fanservice and jokes. It's a fun self-indulgent show.

You are the pretentious one. Fags like you who try so hard to criticize the show you don't like (for superficial reasons but you can't say that because that doesn't sound smart) but ultimately misunderstand everything are the quintessential pseudo-intellectuals. Trash like you who can't even be honest should just drop dead

Calling Monogatari pretentious is like calling SZS pretentious.

...

Who hurt you? You talk like a really sad human being, OP. It's just a comfy supernatural anime with fanservice. You're like one of those elderly people, getting out of bed with a sole purpose of having an argument with someone.

What's an anime/manga that's actually pretentious though?

No, its haremshit with meaningless dialogue
Shaft entire moto is "lets make this the most pretentious possible so the self inserts dont get ashamed"
Reminder people got mad with the purple girl because she got a bf before.

It's always embarrassing when people use "pretentious" as a buzzword on things that aren't actually pretentious

Fire punch (It's really good don't get me wrong)

But Monogatari is pretentious, just like your post user

>got mad with the purple girl because she got a bf before

There is literally no pretentious shit in monotagari.
You are either retarded or don't know what that word means.

I fucking hated bunny girl senpai. Holy shit it tried so hard to BE monogatari.

Why do you think that user? I personally really like the entire Hibike series for it's subtle authenticity

Evangelion, LOTGH. Majority of the stuff that Greek faggot Thatanimesnob enjoys.

It seemed like it either only tried to do it superficially to draw in an established audience or it seriously fucked it up.

If you never jacked off while watching this show you don't appreciate it and dont deserve to watch it.
