To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Monogatari series. The wordplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of advanced Japanese most of the writing will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Araragi's imperfect memory, a quality which is deftly woven into the style in which the story is presented. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the multifaceted nature of the dialogue, to realise that they're not spewing puns- they say something deep about the intricacies of the language. As a consequence people who dislike the Monogatari series truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Hanekawa's observant catchphrase "I only know what I know," which itself is a cryptic reference to Plato's account of the Socratic paradox. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as NISIOISIN's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothing personnel kid.
