Bakemonogatari had its fair share of fanservice, but here it seems that almost every scene is laden with it. Also, when did Araragi become such an active pervert? He is shown to be a massive pervert in this. I'm not sure why.

I know there are one or two threads about the ecchi in this anime, but I'm also curious about how Araragi is depicted as an uber pervert which he wasn't in Bake.

This is supposed to be a direct sequel to Bake. So, why the deviation from what it was? (Mostly in the fanservice department) Does Araragi's degree of perverseness remain the same in further sequels.

Yeah that's the problem many had with Nisemonogatari. It kinda messed up Araragi's character.

It gets toned down to bake level like strider98 said. And the annoying sisters don't show up that much again.

Ah, good to know that Araragi doesn't do the same kind of stuff in further sequels as I found Bake much better than Nise in terms of character development, dialogue and storytelling.

I don't particularly mind the Fire sisters as they have their own charm and can add a lot to the story if used correctly. I also don't mind the fanservice, but too much fanservice just takes a lot away from the story in Monogatari's case.

Well, thanks guys for the info! I'm off to watch Neko and Second season.

I don't ask such questions, I love any amount of fanservice, I'm a fan and this is fanservice, why shouldn't I? I love Fire Sisters, my favorite characters and waifus, and I like Araragi's pervertness, he's a man and a role model for many proud perverts such as myself.

And yes, he remains a huge pervert in later series, Lolikawa, Hachikuji and Ononoki would agree with that the same as Fire Sisters.

Monogatari IS a story about a certain pervert so telling that too much fanservice just takes a lot away from the story in Monogatari's case is just contradicting yourself. Monogatari is based mostly on a perverted fanservice, at least there is enough pervertedness and fanservice to attract people interested in it.

People change, and maybe sometimes people did not actually change. Maybe you just never knew who they really were. And Bake didn't have Fire Sisters so we couldn't see Koyomi and his sisters relationships, and knowing Gahara it's understandable he wouldn't tell her that he's siscon. Later he eventually became more open about it naturally after he and his harem got to know each other better. Bake doesn't reveal a lot of stuff itself, so one can't say Bake is a reference, one shouldn't judge Koyomi only by the first season. There is character developmend after all, and who said it must be only one way positive, people change not always for the better and it's normal.

Yeah, this entire season was just fanservice. May as well be Highschool DxD or something.
Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you.

I prefer watching Nise than Bake, it's more entertaining.
