Well, the English name of this anime is Ghostory and is spelled like that due to the Portmanteau of Bakemono and monogatari. Strange Japanese language amirite? Also, I have seen a Kizumonogatari thread but not a Bakemonogatari thread so I decided to post one.
Genre: Horror, Action, Supernatural, Slice of life(sort of), and a can of awesome sauce.
Episodes: 15
Intro Quote from Wikipedia:
Bakemonogatari centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who is almost human again after briefly becoming a vampire. One day, a classmate named Hitagi SenjÅgahara, who never talks to anyone, falls down the stairs into Koyomi's arms. He discovers that Hitagi weighs next to nothing, in defiance of physics. Despite being threatened by her to keep away, Koyomi offers his help, and introduces her to Meme Oshino, a strange middle-aged man living in an abandoned building, who cured him of being a vampire.
It is actually a series of novels, however two of the novels have been or being made into an animation.
Bakemonogatari - Anime is Finished, 15 Episodes.
Kizumonogatari - Anime is being made
Also, I find the graphic style to be very abstract and violent at times, so if you like graphic styles like that you should watch this anime; also for the story line too

Reason Bakemonogatari thread isn't on MN was because it was made back when we still were using Guru.
Anyways, it's enjoyable, at least for me. A lot of people have their say about it, some saying it's just another harem in disguise, etc. etc. but I still liked the show.
I just hope Shinobu actually speaks or gets more screen time in Kizu.
It's graphics is unique because it's SHAFT. Go watch other Animes they've done, not all but others. Such as Negima!?, Sayanora Setsubo Sensei, Maria Holic, Arakawa Under the Bridge, and a few more. You'll notice a lot of similarities in the artwork/style.

So like when the hell is Kizumonogatari coming?
From some hinted scenes in the original it might be a lot more action packed than Bake.
