Katanagatari's episodes, much like its dialogue, are unnecessarily drawn-out and tedious. Each one is 50 minutes long, but could easily be compressed to 25 or even 12 minutes without sacrificing much.
It introduces characters (or doesn't even bother introducing them) as quickly as it writes them off.
The soundtrack ranges from annoying to pretty good, though maybe you're more into rapanese than I am.
The fight scenes mostly consist of the same 4 frames repeated ad nauseam. There's more dynamic animation in literally every other part of the show.
Overall, Katanagatari felt like a chore to watch, and I don't recommend investing 10 hours of your time
