I couldn't get myself to watch Monogatari because of the crackhead aesthetics. I though I could try to accept them, but I dropped when they showed a thinly-veiled 3DPD femoid picture during the purple hair girl's story in episode 2.
I may consider eventually looking into the light novels since those should be the best experience anyway, though reading them in English would be retarded, and my Japanese is probably still not good enough, at least not for getting the alleged 999IQ wordplays or whatever.
