Bakemonogatari
Malakai0:
I've watched bakemonogatari several times, first time was paying close attention to all the text, others I paid less attention to the subs and more to the art.
Of course my understanding of japanese now is a lot better than it was when I first watched bakemonogatari, so I am able to enjoy nisemonogatari a lot more on the first watch throguh. Nise is drop dead awesome btw. Hachikuji & Shinobu ftw...

I just finished watching episode 13, and i have to say, is it just me or this anime is weird? The angle from which the story is told, like: people are talking and yet we get to see a close-up of the eye, or a tree... and other things, i can't put my finger on it, but something feels weird. Also, what's up with the ultra fast subs at the beginning of every episode?
newy:
You haven't watched much SHAFT shows, have you? In particular Shinbou.
anoligarh:
What's Shaft? Also, i've read a couple comments, and i have to ask this: is this show really a comedy? I thought it was something serious...

SHAFT is the animation studio responsible for Bakemonogatari (as well as all the [upcoming] shows related to it). The visual cues you referred to are trademarks of Akiyuki Shinbou, the studio's main director. A lot of shows from this studio (Maria Holic, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Arakawa under he Bridge, and many more) have that same visual style. It's gotten to a point where you can easily recognize the studio if you see that style being used.
The show is a mix of romance, mystery and supernatural elements, and not really a comedy, even though it has plenty of funny scenes in it.
