15 [Similar Anime] Like Bakemonogatari

"Aobuta" shares many similarities with the Monogatari Series.
The story is about a high school boy meeting different girls with supernatural phenomenon and helping them solve their problems.
The main character seems unsocial and his classmates always misunderstand him. But actually he is a straightforward boy, and willing to help people around him.
The heroine is a pretty and cool girl with long black hair. She has a bit of sadism and sharp tougue, and often plays tricks on the main character.

Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai ("Bunny Girl Senpai" for short) is an anime in which a high school boy named Sakuta Azusagawa solves the problems within his town relating to a phenomenon knows as "Puberty Syndrome". Bakemonogatari has a similar premise in which a high school boy named Koyomi Araragi solves the problems in his area relating to the supernatural (including demons, Kamis, and curses). Each incident spans a few episodes (similar to Bunny Girl Senpai), but each incident has its own opening, adding more character and setting the mood for what is to come. Bunny Girl Senpai's problems must be solved within the day or else the day will repeat. The only people to notice the repeat are those involved in the Puberty Syndrome issue. These anime are distinctly different in everything, but premise. Bunny Girl Senpai has a happier setting while Bakemonogatari has more of a serious, darker tone to it.

Both are adaptations of light novels written by Isin Nisio, and both are extremely heavy on dialogue. The style of humour employed in both Bakemono and Katana is very similar, so if you like one you're sure to enjoy the other. Also, though Bakemonogatari and Katanagatari seem like the typical harem and shonen series,both quickly break the confines of their respective genres.

Katanagatari and Bakemonogatari are both written by NisiOisin

If you like one of these male leads you should enjoy the perspective of the other. While Yuhari is really starred by the main female instead of the main male the females have a lot in common in terms of being independent, strong and confusing for the males to figure out.

Both are series that aren't necessarily parodies or strict satire. The Tatami Galaxy takes on an extremely mysterious and reflecting tale of "possibilities". Bakemonogatari mixes some mild to heavy predicaments with supernatural folklore to help enhance/clarify the significance of said issues.
Both have strange, eclectic, abstract art that will undoubtedly impress those with it's usage. Both have and make use of some fine music, but... are paled in comparison to their OPs and ENDs.
Both are quite new, and both set the bar for enjoyment too, as the dialogue and insightful observations will cease to amaze.

It is obvious that if you liked Bakemonogatari you should watch Arakawa Under the Bridge. The main character of the both series is voiced by the same actor, which gives the impression that we have to deal with the very similar story.

Both series focus around the main character solving "oddities" or supernatural phenomena that occur with other characters. There are also parallels between the mentors of each main character. Yuuko (xxxHolic) & Oshino (Bakemonogatari) both provide insight as to how Watanuki (xxxHolic) & Araragi (Bakemonogatari) can solve the ailments spotted. Main difference is that in xxxHolic the solving of these oddities is more of price for service to customers, whereas in Bakemonogatari, the service is free of charge and deal with the protagonists close friends. Still both are enjoyable to watch and offer a lot of humor.

The synopsis for Mekakucity Actors would have you believe you're in for something of an action adventure superpower type anime, but after watching the first few episode's you'll feel right at home coming from Bakemonogatari.
Yes. Although Mekakucity Actors is presented as an anime about kids with superpowers, you will as soon know this not to be true as you would say Bakemonogatari is about a guy who helps people that have problems with spirits, gods, and demons.
Both works having been produced by SHAFT, you will have a very similar animation style that with subtly to powerfully surreal settings, creating an ideal environment for a slice of life anime. Both anime will have you follow and connect to characters on a deeper level, eventually turning even strange, distant characters into ones you will care about.

f supernatural is an ingredient, then it be part of a recipe for both Bakemonogatari and Noragami. Not only do they involve supernatural beings but also legends that blurs the lines between fiction and reality.

How this recommendation hasn't been made yet I have no idea. What makes Bakemonogatari what it is is the random and surreal scenery mixed with a loose fantastical story along with incomprehensible dialogue. What I'm trying to say is that if Bakemonogatari is something you like, Mawaru Penguindrum is cut from the same cloth.

Well they are both made by Shaft so the animation is similar but that's not all!

Bakemonogatari and Mononoke are surprisingly similar. The latter is definitely more serious, with a heavy psychological focus, whereas the first has no shame in being irreverent and constantly playing around with meta-references (although it never strays into fields of shameless idiocy or exaggerated humor). Both, however, present unique storytelling and a distinctive and highly experimental (Mononoke being much more iconoclastic) audiovisual experience. Words, images, and sounds are just as important as narration in both cases. And in both cases, it never fails to be interesting.

Both shows have a "one girl to deal with per arc" story formula with a little supernatural twist to it. Not to mention the character design is similar and there's also a couple of parodies and references too. The main characters (Keima and Araragi) are also pretty similar with each other having little to no friends, a little sister (sort of with Keima) and a hairstyle with one part of their hair sticking out. Also has anyone noticed that Shiori looks almost exactly like Sengoku (top it off with the same seiyuu to boot). The same goes to Haqua and Senjougahara. The only difference it that The World God Only Knows focuses more on gaming and romance while the Monogatari series is, well, mysterious, strange and confusing.

Bakemonogatari and Mushishi have quite a few similarities.
First of all the Main Characters Araragi and Ginko have a lot in common. They are trying to help other people with their problems and oddities.
The show is not about the Main Characters themselves, as you do not learn a lot about their own past and story, but more about the people around them.
Both shows have a mystery/supernatural side.

Both of these anime are about vampires and the relationship between humans and the supernatural. Some of the characters are also similar (Akira and Koyomi; Mina and Shinobu)
So, the main character lives a normal life, but then suddenly finds himself mixed up in the world of the supernatural. You can expect the same kind of humor in the dialogues, and also the way the stories are told, and just the entire feeling you have while watching are similar.
I think that if you enjoyed one of these, you'll love the other too.

There aren't many anime that can be considered in the same league as FLCL in terms of artistic achievement. Monogatari certainly comes close.
