I know this isn't geared toward me, but how did Bakemonogatari have a deus ex machina ending?

Also, Durarara!! was great, but don't expect it to be as great as Baccano, which people often compare it to (since it has similar staff, animation, character design, etc). As far as current releases go, I really enjoyed Shiki (of the current releases I've seen, anyway).
