What devils me about Monogatari isn't that it took 3 years and 30 episodes to start delivering on its premise. It's all the messy titles that don't get that level of grace
Nobody in power is like, "ye the first arc of ILTV is a bit shit in spots, but we gotta power thru cause then it gets AWESOME."

Warning: gratuitous fantasy football post!
I just a) clinched my playoff spot and b) did it by knocking out of contention the guy who stole my playoff spot last year.
Rico Dowdle had to catch two passes on Carolina’s last drive. I won by 0.34 points.
REVENGE IS SWEET

If you are a fan of something, and deep in fan culture, one of the best things you can do is read, watch, or play something entirely different. You can even go back to your fandom afterwards. But constantly comparing things to the same things doesn't give you any breadth of experiences or opinions.

I can’t complain too much because the price is alright, but I’m constantly annoyed by how the NFL+ app’s feed gets so delayed even as you leave it running
