Wow! Best episode so far. This new guy seems have something interesting planned.

Also I wonder what Tsubasa and Hitagi were talking about and what Suruga ment by those two having their own two worlds.

I was hoping to see their new haircuts but it seems like I'll have to wait until this arc is over.

Who is Kaiki??

Why does Hitagi want to keep want to keep Araragi away from him??

What was the "deal" Hanekawa had with Hitagi??

What's with the sudden change in Hitagi's demeanor??

What is going on with Tsuki??

After the first 2 episodes I thought Hitagi was keeping Araragi away from Karen, but this development has really blown my mind.

It really feels like the plot is speeding up FAST.

Hitagi called Araragi cool! Epic win for him xD

First of the three episodes to have me laughing out loud. I'm continuing to recognise you, Nisemonogatari. Loved Hitagi's stutter gag and how Araragi sped up besides her on his bike. Their convos are by far the best ones, so playful and still that dominance switch in the end.

Love the ED.

Was that really Hanekawa on the phone i mean Senjougahara's change in personality was just to big it just seemed completely awkward.
And they where right in the middle of a very interesting conversation.
Araragi cares allot about his sisters enough to defy Senjougahara which he normally doesn't seem to be doing.
I wonder why his little sister needed his help it seemed pretty serious.

That Kaiki guy must have had a terrible impact on Senjougahara for her to lock up Araragi like that i wonder what they will do about him.

Finally the plot picks up and we see plenty of Araragi/Senjougahara interaction. Hanekawa seems to be involved somehow and we get a strange mention of Nadeko being "the final boss"?

Nice! Can't wait for no4.

All I can say to that is kudos in at least pacing stuff like in Bakemonogatari. For one I can say this kind of pacing may be as good as it gets for me. They do a pace like that and the fan service will fade out easily.

Oh shit...it's about to get real, really quick.
So this is why Ayu dispatched me and Sarah to this show.
I have all the missing pieces now:
Why he's a pedo, why Senjogahara loves him, why she locked him up, and all manner of other shit...

I have all the pieces I need to start the case file now.
Except what my ultimate objective is.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Very good episode shit finally moves....

Kanbaru part was funny that card game (Hanafuda) looks intersting well i am sucker to card games so i kinda want to know more about it....

Creepy guy Kaiki is creepy probably the bad guy this season without doubt will we see more of him for sure.

Senjougahara/Araragi interations as always fucking epic nothing else can say and also we know more about Kaiki and why she locked him up,also sister in danger and badass mode actives...i loved that scene....and seeing Senjougahara brush was....soooo cute!!

Also kinda want to know why Senjougahara talks like that to Hanekawa...what deal they made.

Shit is getting serious now...CANT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE!!!

So it takes 3 episodes for something to actually happen, and only for about half the episode. The dialogue is slightly amusing at best, and the story has barely gotten started, yet it's already so highly praised.

Huge dialogue dump once again, but a great one ! I'm always amazed at how many people actually enjoy the Monogatari series despite them being such boring, uneventful, chaotic and experimental animes. Such animes are usually reserved almost strictly to veterans and elitists but the Monogataris appeal to virtually all the anime fandom. Must be the girls I guess.

Now it's picking up on story, about the time. Not entirely like i was assuming it'd go though, but awesome either way. Loved whole Sanjougahara x Araragi scene, with great highlights like Senjougahara suddenly blushing and Araragi breaking his chains.
Hanekawa is such a mystery, she even gets herself more Monogarari series later on. Just what's she up to now?

Anyway, bring on the bee. (°∀°)/!

Awesome episode; and just like i thought the plot picked up as the ending was great. Dialogue throughout was really good as Bakemonogatari always was but the part with Senjougahara and Araragi was especially great. Breaking the chains was boss, it was good to see him finally get serious, the eye effect was a nice touch. Thing that really interested me and was just a little bit creepy was the phone call at the end; i wondered what Senjougahara would be afraid off to react like that; it almost seems like blackmail. Curious thought is that maybe Hanekawa knew she held up Araragi and didn't take it well, since the apology at the end was out of place and stuttered.
