| It was all talking, so it was quite boring. |
| Interesting ep even though nothing basically happened. Liked the new OP and the animation for the ED was excellent as well. |
     |
| the new opening got on my nerves |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| I'm liking this anime, it's really.... bizzare but in a good way. The phone part was kind of amusing to me |
     |
| I loooooooove this show.And Zetsubou sensei's voice in it :) |
 |
| I'm liking Bakemonogatari's choice of heavy dialogue. Not much happens but the character interactions are really interesting. Hachikuji deserved the trashing this time, her bite looked like it would've been rather serious if Araragi didn't have fast healing abilities. |
 |
| waaat what's up with the op?xD HawthorneKitty said: SHAFT really knows how to make long phone conversations interesting *coughefcough now that brings back memories now, doesn't it? : p and yeah they're good at that : ) and geee Senjougahara is still as nice towards Araragi as always : 3 she's pretty weird, but I like it : p Tsundere-chan <3 "I won't do anything! Pleas put down the stapler!" : D hmm Shaft kind of makes stuff that wouldn't usually be interesting into something interesting : D overall pretty good episode, but I really think the first one was awesome, and the second was better too.. oh well, it's still one of the best anime of the season ^^ cool ed too : p |

| I don't get this show =___= The OP & ED was good. The rest? Talk and seeing the surroudnings (which I like). But the point of this anime? |

| Lol nice episode. I just love this serie :'3. " Don't you think it's little to harsh to call me incapable? " " Oh, then I call you misserable " Yeah she stays awesome xD |
 |
| I'm wondering what Oshino planned to do with Hitagi that she felt was worth attacking him with a stapler. The phone graphic were funny, Tetris, Arkanoid and more classic games were among the ones I recognized. I like the more 'loose' style of the ED. |

| Episode one gave me the apparently false impression that there would be more action scenes than those full of long conversations and static background. Too bad, I was hoping for some more crazy fight/torture moments, like the one with the infamous stapler. Even for a SHAFT production, this show is just too slow. I can't recall having to put effort into staying awake while watching, say, Maria Holic or SZS. Edit: Also, random note: the pic at the very end - Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, anyone? |

| Another amusing episode. There were a few moments that actually made me laugh out loud. I've also become completely obsessed with Hitagi :3 |
 |
| I can absolutely understand everyone who feels bored by the "plot" since I don't understand myself why I love this show so much. In this episode, I watched Ararararararararararagi talk to Oshino over the phone for such a looong time... and not a single second of it bored me. It's the magic of SHAFT, if they ever tried to professionally brainwash their audience, they'd definitely succeed. |

| Decent episode, it wasn't as good as episode 3 but it was still ok. The conversations between araragi and senjougahara are definitely the most interesting imo. |
| 1/5 Boring. They try to lenghten the show artificially with nonsense discussions. Where is the interesting plot and the intense, heavy athmo from the first episode? |
| rofl beat up a little kid again..... nice goin! watching the phone was funny pong and tetris and all that stuff |

Perplex said: Boring. They try to lenghten the show artificially with nonsense discussions. Like someone said in the previous episodes' thread, this story is mostly about dialogues between characters. They're not artificially lengthening the show, they're making a faithful adaption. If you don't like this, you should consider dropping it, this might not be the type of show you like. |
|
| the whole stuff with the different meanings of words made my brain go round and round XD the first half of the ep felt exhausting to my nerves, too. the opening and ending was entertaining and had nice animations |

| interesting new OP/ED. But the episode itself wasn't as interesting as the ones before. The animation was as expected, top notch. On another note, does anyone know what anime that was during the half-time commercial break? The song that was playing was Kalafina [seventh heaven] or something... |
| I get the feeling that a lot of things are lost in translation, and that this story would make much more sense if I knew Japanense. Or, at least, if I knew how puns in kanji worked, since those seem to make up a lot of dialogue. |
| "When he will, the weary world Of the senses closely curled Like a serpent round his heart Shakes herself and stands apart." - A.C., Equinox I/I |
| Yes I agree, I feel like a lot of things are lost in translation. The scenes with the japanese characters on them are where everything gets lost, you see them for such a short time so they are rarely subbed. But it was still good, the conversation was round in circle. I thought it was better to say the least. Maybe it was just a different subber though |

| It was all right. It takes a lot of energy to watch though due to the amount of conversation. I didn't like the OP though. |
| it has taken a wierd track.... but at least he has games on his phone, walls ftw lol |
| The OP was awesome. Best show this season, hands down. |

Didnt find this episode boring at all, I was pretty much hooked for some reason ;o I don't know why people are saying this series is shit. Are they just confused or something? Because the animation is awesome, the story is really interesting, the characters are cool. The only bad thing about it is we have to wait a week between episodes. At least it's better than Endless 8. |
|
| This show really IS the best show this season. |
| Bakemonogatari is definitely the best show this summer. I'm not watching many of the other shows because quite frankly, this season has an awful list of anime to choose from. |
| still quite the intriguing series. I really am enjoying it. |

| Not enough Senjougahara D: |

Hato-kun said: Spade said: Hato-kun said: At least it's better than Endless 8. Is there anything that's worse? I don't think so... Code Geass. Lol no, even R2 is better than that shit. This show is so brilliant, I can hardly take it! |
Panaru said: Im sorry but I'll bow to Spice and Wolf II as the best show this season :/ Bakemonogatari goes second for me.This show really IS the best show this season. |
| One of the best shows from this summer...I don't know if it is the best because I have high hopes for CANAAN and umineko no naku koro ni... I loved this episode...the animation was great...some comedy.I can feel the resemblence between bakemonogatari and other shaft works like ef-a tale of memories except the genre of course...Looking forward tor the next one... |
| "This Forest isn't going to reveal all its secrets for the likes of you." |
| This show is really special and interesting! Gotta love the animation. The ending was awesome too! I want moar D: |
  |
| While this is one of the more better shows this season this episode was clearly crap. Maybe because I don't like Mayoi that much since she's flat and annoying, the only redeeming point of this episode was Hanekawa screentime. |
 |
| I really do like how this show is working. The episode was a bit boring this time compared to the last ep, but I still found it fun to watch. |
