| Good Episode I didn't find it that boring maybe a bit toward the end. I have always loved the ending song I am glade they put some animation for it. It was amazing I love it even more. |

muffin-chan said: No one mentioned the 6 fingers? D: xD This is Bakemonogatari, she's probably just possessed by some six-finger'd random animal. This is a premonition of a future event, SHAFT makes no mistakes! *loads gun* They don't! |
 |
| I found it boring..but i'll give it a another ep. |
 |
| Still as formulaic and superficial, but ever so odd and enjoyable. Direction was great, Senjougahara and Araragi are cool characters, and so are Hanekawa and Hachikuji. I liked it. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Great Episode at least this time I didn't fall asleep. But we need more action 1! |
 |
| Cool Episode! I wish they would explain a lot in the next one |
 | The void is endless | |
| Great episode. Very entertaining with lots of original shaft visuals. I think the last episode was even a little bit better, but this one was nearly as good. Several funny and really cool scenes. Too many to remember them all. I really don't think those dialogue-only episodes are boring. The lack of action is not bothering me at all. Action junkies should just stay away from this. OP and ED were interesting. Especially after the OP from the first arc it was really funny to get something that "normal" and "un-shaft-ish". |
   |
| This is one of the better shows this season, but Umineko and Spice and Wolf II are still a tad ahead on my rating. |
 |
| Brainwashanime. Great episode. The OP was awesome. |

| Peparent Teacher Passociation Epic OP. This was by far the best episode yet. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Fell asleep during the episode... Now, I enjoyed the art very much. SHAFTian work is always good with doing simple things in an extroadinary way, but I might just have lost a few pieces of the story in my fuzzed mind. |

 |
| This series disappoints me. The first episode was awesome, but now it's just... D: |
| if we die we'll meet again in valhalla... |

| rofl ararararagi ended up beating her again liked how they used real hands for the phone view. combined with the randomness of what the phone showed was pure lols. but dammit stop distracting me from the subs |
| Anyone know if the ending animation was done by Ueda Hajime (author/artist of the Q•Ko-Chan and FLCL mangas)? It really did look like it- I loved it!! |
 |
| Awesome episode ^^ |
 |
| A little better that the last disappointing episode. I liked the mystery about the mother of that kid and the story of how Senjougahara hates kids but other than that it wasn't really exiting and the whole mistreating the boy like his an idiot to show how much of a bitch i am while he stays passive is getting old in anime. The Tsundere-Chan was funny though. Episode 5 looks like it would be better, or at least that's what i hope. I wonder is this show gone a have a different opening in every episode. They even changed the ED this time although they left the same song(that's good because i kind of like that song). |

And I thought I paused and rewinded anime episodes a lot. I didn't pause often, in fact, just this one time to take the screenshot =) To be honest, I thought it was pretty obvious xD" |
| I don't know about anyone else, and I'm sure most of you have but has anyone see this show other than streaming??...this show is absolutely amazing in "HD" (Top 5 best I've seen probably to date, it's also a new show obviously, so use of the newest tech and ideas can make it stunning right?). I normally stream, but I just happened to get the HD version and it blew me away. Really making me reconsider alot of shows that I have never seen other than streaming. I mean the show looked normal streaming, and I would never have seen the the stunning 3-D work the same way. I mean don't get me wrong I have seen quite a bit not streamed but damn, it may be just me, but it seems like very unique fantastic animation. BTW I personally like the loose but random direction of the show, I mean hell it keeps me coming back. Lol. ^_^ |

| Not a bad episode.. I liked the previous arc better than this one though. Also, I love the artwork on the ED. |
| Honestly the best part of this episode was the opening all the rest felt like an event less flashback. Koyomi really should work on his skilsl on how to handle little girls though :P |
| Hm, I still don't find this show to be all that amazing. The little girl annoys me. -_- |
| not exactly interesting ... but still its fine |
     |
| hilarious opening theme and nice ending theme. all about mayoi! araragi-kun beats mayoi the second time! i also wonder what's inside of mayoi's huge backpack.. |

muffin-chan said: No one mentioned the 6 fingers? D: xD And I found it quite interesting how she clearly had 5 fingers on the previous frame. How did she suddenly grow an extra finger out of randomness? o_O |
| that's why BD ver is like extreme makeover lol |
 |
| Lmao, this is a decent episode. I love it when Araragi-kun beats Hachikuji up and smiles like he just killed someone. Kinda reminds me of Light from Death Note, lol. But, Senjougahara didn't get enough screen time in this one. :( I also liked the OP and the ED songs. Better than the previous ones, imo. |
| Man, I'm really really liking this show thus far. Especially the last two episodes. |

| Probably one of the most boring episodes I've ever seen. If the next episode isn't better, then I'm dropping this. |
 |
| He beat her up again lol..and some of the dialogue is just confusing me lol |
 |
| wow, a curse that won't let you get where you want to go, even if some one helps lead you there it won't work, that sucks |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| where does araragi get his monthly drink of blood? hope they show it. |
 |
| I'm enjoying the art direction of this series and the silent hint at depth, but a lot of the puns, jokes, and word-play are lost on my English dominate mind. I enjoy the subtleness that is this series, but I feel like I would enjoy it more if I understood Japanese kanji more in-depth (or had someone explain the word-play to me). |
 |
| interested with the art so far, |
| This spirit thing is pretty interesting. Araragi is quite violent though. :/ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| It was interesting but mostly because I could not understand what was happening. I'll have to re-watch it after I the series. |
| from all the comments i see, why is it im the only confused one =| |
| The telephone part was the only good one. |
