Most drinks will occur due to this odd stylistic choice. There is no finish your drink rule simply for the high amount of times almost every rule applies.

The Bakemonogatari Drinking Game doesn’t seem very difficult at first, with it’s low amount of rules but don’t be deceived. This game has a high volume of drinking that doesn’t give you much time to even put down your drink. Most of these rules apply to the odd style in which the show is animated, which will become very obvious very quickly.
Bakemonogatari and the seasons that follow aren’t very action heavy, with more of a lean on comedy and interesting conversations. Most of the show throws around fancy camera work to keep you entertained as the characters have deeply confusing yet interesting conversations. That is not to say that there is no action, but the show focuses on character development rather heavily. Because of all of this these rules apply often and in large numbers throughout the various seasons. So make sure to have some drinks handy and get ready to be kept busy by the Bakemonogatari Drinking Game and it’s sequels!
