Yeah. It's adapted from classical Japanese lit. An episode is essentially 20 min of pure dialogue, and the dialogue is chock-full of wordplay and puns that are hard to catch even if you are fluent in Japanese.

to be fair you don't actually need to appreciate and understand all those elements of the wordplay; theres *plenty* of stuff that gets translated fine. Just be sure to watch all 15 episodes of Bakemonogatari; some sources only have the first 12. the last 3 are not optional.
