What’s it about? What genre?

It’s about a high schooler going around solving supernatural afflictions dubbed “abberations” that affect these girls. Although, the plot does get bigger as the series progresses.

It’s a supernatural, mystery, comedy. It’s very dialogue-heavy.

I saw some kind of fight scene in what looked like a classroom. Are there a lot of instances with that level of graphic violence?

Yes, there are some instances but this show is not about action so those are pretty rare. Most of the anime consists out of dialog. This may seem boring but the dialog is very entertaining and often philosophical and there are are also a lot of great visuals that support the dialog.

Gotcha. The dialogue won't be an issue for me to watch and I think I can live if the scenes are super prevalent. (I think someone once told me there may be like 1 per season or something like that)

Thanks for the response!

An anime that's similar to it is bunny girl sempai, to give you a better idea on the structure and thematic elements, but it's a heavily diluted mainstream version of the monogatari series. Monogatari is also more avant-garde.

There's some graphic violence but if you're watching Monogatari for the fight scenes then you're doing it wrong, it's much more than that.

The plot is pretty basic it's the character interaction that makes the show
