Who is Araragi supposed to look like in this scene?


I'm watching one of the Monogatari episodes - Mayoi Jiangshi 2 (Second Season
episode 8).

![A funny-looking Araragi; subtitled "What's with this creepy guy? He's crying
blood and standing straight up."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/B5yef.jpg)

In this scene the style Araragi is drawn with changes radically, as does his
hairstyle.

The fact that the bloody eyes and seemingly explosive hair look so distinctive
makes me feel like I'm missing a reference here.




This could possibly be a reference to the very obscure series [The Soul
Taker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_SoulTaker). The main character,
Kyousuke Date, cried blood in few episodes. Here's a picture of him:

It's not an exact match, but Akiyuki Shinbo, the director of The Soul Taker,
also worked on the Monogatari series, which made me think of this.
