| Once again the visuals of this show have made me speechless. Especially Shinobu's entrance was jaw-droppingly stunning As the title indicates one reoccuring theme will be being fake displayed for example by the fire sisters who are only conterfeit heroes at least according to their brother but we have also seen other characters whothe title of being fake would apply to. Sengoku desperately tries to get closer to Araragi by taking on the role of a seductress while Kanbaru is taking on the role of a pervert even if it doesn't necessarily reflect the truth. If we take Hanekawa at her words Kaiki will be another person of this type whose fake quality is crucial for his power. Only time will tell if the fire sisters will remain at this level or eventually evolve over the course of this series. I was taken aback by Shinobu finally speaking. Her voice wasn't how I expected it to be but it works so there are no complaints from me. I found her relationship with Araragi is quite interesting. She's in general pretty coy when talking with him but one cannot help but notice the sligthly threatening undertone of their conversation. There was one particular scene which I really liked when they hit each other with their elbows acting like buddies. |

| ohh god! shinobu talked-a lot, well if I do remember correctly she's really a talkative vampire back when I read Kizumonogatari and that old fashioned way of speaking it's just as I imagined while reading the novel |
 |
| Would you trade your 'piece' for immortality? Ugh... tough call. |
    |
| Good episode,Shinobu finally talk and the conversation with Araragi was great,also it bring with some good fanservice that was awesome,Hanekawa looks nice with her new look...i like it even that it brings some Sengoku vibes. Tsukihi returning with the knife was hilarious and ya...the visuals were outstanding again. Cant wait for next episode. |
| who need donuts when you got handcuff that rich with iron and minerals. |
| Ah, I was just reminded of why Shinobu is my second favourite character in the monogatari series. |
| i dont know whether i love or hate that i love hanekawa's new look :S she seems sort of different with her new appearance, in a VERY good way and love how shinobu is finally talking, her personality is SOO different than what i wouldve imagined .-. 4 episodes into the karen bee arc, and about 5 minutes total of actual karen lol shinobu pretty much ate up the entire episode, and i really wanted to see MORE senjougahara in this episode as well |

| Despite the fan service I shall enunciate of what I really think and no I will not respond to it. This is final and these are my thoughts that characterize as different from others. The only good things in this episode were Hanekawa and the sisters. The rest was for fan service of a 8 year old. Great shit when you think the aim is at for and what. It’s obvious and no one is a fool of that. People do fap to this and it’s their problem but I for one would not like to be mixed up in that. Thus I never approve of the fan service in certain cases. There is a difference of it when the lolis involved are on the comedic side such as the Hina grabbing Sora breasts in Papakiri but this is was nothing of but a letdown 8 year nude fest. I had trouble concentrating on the story. Rare is a anime or series able to do that with fan service in my case. I will start with what I hated. Too bad but this episode made me rate this episode a 1. Made the score drop lower and I could not follow the story. Shinobu's tits, ass and pussy made me not able to concentrate because I never approved of it and hated that shit, I even saw 2 parts where that not censored nipples and the pussy does not look like it has any bandage. So go ahead Japan do this shit but I won't fap to it. I hope she dies soon like she says since her time will expire soon. I have always been with "D" from vampire hunter D and the only vampire worthy of anything in the whole anime is Vampire Princess Miyu. Nothing out there can beat that. About the fan service, this what I found out and what of what I think. I cringed loads on each side with sheer furor at the fact that appearance physically that of a 8 year old. The list says
No surprise same shit with Dance in the Vampire Bund. So before Shinobu shows her body and BS I suggest she learns being more modest like Miyu because I last I saw of her there was Zero ecchi of her in her whole series. Worst episode for me. Could not follow it right. About Hanekawa, apart from that I will say that I like Hanekawa’s poses in the spoiler  That is some nice pose IMO. That was very sexy. I liked that. Along with her first appearance in the spoiler However as time went I did. I liked Hanekawa’s face here. It was nice. While it was nice to see Araragi’s room and Hanekawa sitting in it here. I still laughed that she did not ask of those handcuffs on Araragi’s hands here. They seem suspicious. Loved Hanekawa’s faces in the spoiler About the sisters, got to say I loved Tsukihi’s knife in the following,  Probably because I wanted her to hurt Shinobu. Her appearance here was nicely shown. Right from the start Karen’s face here was very nice. I liked seeing Araragi with Tsukihi here and a rather nice leg exposition of Karen. Got to say that Karen’s expression in the spoiler About what I did like of the remaining fan service, the list makes it clear with 2 elements.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. NisiOisiN's version of the vampire is amazing. Shinobu is amazing. There's nothing wrong with Shinobu showing herself to Araragi, they have a past and she's one with him anyways. I bet you'll turn into a Shinobu worshiper after Kizumonogatari. I mean it's impossible to resist the Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade. *Workships Shinobu* |

| Another Great episode!! i'm pretty sure my mouth dropped for a good few seconds after hearing Shinobu talk. Tsukihi why you so scary?! or just the females of this show in general lol!. |
 |
| Yumekichi11 seriously just, if you're not going to accept that this series will have fan-service just like it always has done then why not just drop it? Fair enough if you don't want fan-service but nothiing much that can be done. Anyway I really enjoyed this episode, although it slowed things down again I was totally ok with it because SHINOBU FINALLY SPOKE! OH GOD SHE SO CUTE! She's so adorable and cute and man oh man is that laugh beautiful, 'ka-ka' is the best way to laugh. The dynamic between her and Araragi is fascinating and I have read Kizumonogatari but my memory of it is incredibly foggy. I like that they don't have a normal relationship, it's not one of friendship or romance, it's something unique mostly to vampires which we commonly see in vamp stories. So yeah absolutely loved this episode, Shinobu was all kinds of cute and wonderful and I hope this sin't the last of her that we see in this series, however hope to see more of Karen soon. (also digging Hanekawa's hair.) |

MisterDonut said: I will NOT drop it due to some vampire loli slut like Shinobu to show of her body. I was clear with this franchise. No Mayoi and Shinobu fan service. You do it and you piss me off. Simple as that. Yumekichi11 seriously just, if you're not going to accept that this series will have fan-service just like it always has done then why not just drop it? Fair enough if you don't want fan-service but nothiing much that can be done. I would love to have a talk with the staff about their intent. Apart from the fans, what would their intent be other than sexual? Nothing. the only forgivable thing is the following,  that is due to its artistic approach but no one here is going to tell me to like this fan service. I don't like it and I rate it down. Simple as that. What do I give for a story when a 8 year old is telling it to me naked in front of me. Nothing really. I would just like that she has some clothing on considering I don't like kids and I don't like seeing then naked in suggestive manners. It was better to do it another way.

| Again fair enough that you don't like this sort of thing, I see this as a cultural difference between what you don't find acceptable and what Japan does. But at this point it's like eating a bowl of dog shit and then complaining that it tastes like dog shit. Disgusting metaphor's aside you'll do yourself and everyone a favour from dropping it! |

| Man , this anime is better than those hentai movies out there i mean it makes you erect without sex scenes lol , but srsly Nisio you're a dialogue genius-sama! Also graphics are super good and they fit perfectly with dialogues , atmosphere and overall i'm out of words and it's only episode 4 , but you know , i'm Monogatari fanboy ;3 Also good job SHAFT on migrating Shinobu from novel to an anime , she looks and sounds great! My appetite for Kizumonogatari just grew insanely high. Do i really need to say 5/5? Keep it up! |
Yanoflies said: Yeah I know, but it mentions her appearance is that of a 8 year therefore the exposition was that of a kid. So, I felt not OK. Actually I don't like any girl nude if she is a vampire or demon. Why do you think I like the Church more in DxD. Perhaps loli humans I bitch far less but not a vampire one because I don't like the race at all. Vampire Bund was seen by me solely for Akira and werewolves.Yumekichi11 said: MisterDonut said: I will drop it due to some vampire loli slut like Shinobu to show of her body.

| Shinobu's voice sounds kind of mismatched for me, especially the forced laugh. Aya HIRANO, known as voice actress of Katja in "Seikon no Qwaser", should be fine for the VA. I also cannot distinguish Hanekawa without glasses and long hair from Tsukihi at the beginning scene. |
 Took quite a few Shinobu screenshots from the "1080p" source so if anyone wants some Shinobu, head over to http://yanoflies.info/.  |

| I loved Shinobu's old way of speaking, current japanese doesn't sound half as good. Actually, dat Shinobu, man dat Shinobu. She was just lovely, Sakamoto Maaya like i never heard her before. It really goes straight into actual Karen's part of the story now, just accoridng to Keikaku. The thing i didn't see coming is Hanekawa's looks turning so fucking bad compared to previous. She could leave glasses and get hair shorter at least, this is just what is this i don't even. Seriously. Either way, a great episode again. Loved Shinobu and Araragi's talk, also some things from last episode became clear. Funny how simple Hanekawa's call to AraragiSenjougahara turned out to be. Do need moar. |

| pretty cool episode the pacing was kinda off though. Too much back and forth between serious PLOT and fanservice. I love me some shinobu but they should have toned down the fanservice. The animation was really good this episode, dat shinobu somersault in the air and them elbow bumping in the tub. Soo good |

| Koyomi's got nice muscles! I like the imouto's, especially just barging in during bath time. Shinobu's got a nice voice. I didn't like Bake much, but I'm liking this more. I like less Hitagi, less weird stuff, and I liked everyones dialogues. |
| Shinobu reminded me to never watch Spice and Wolf again. Somehow hanekawa is the only girl around MC that even laying on the bed wasnt sexualized that much, everyone had their time in the limelight but her's seemed to be pretty normal. Strangely. |
| What's the knife for? To kill the Shinobu,Koyomi, or both? |
| Best bath conversation I've ever watched. |

Yanoflies said: I did a huge amount too to prove out some elements here and there. I am more happy for the girls. They got Araragi naked goodness.

CBlitz said: Why thank you I would have liked it too.I love me some shinobu but they should have toned down the fanservice. Magito said: To kill Shinobu. I would suggest a silver one TBH. It would be more effective as Shinobu does mention silver being effective.What's the knife for? To kill the Shinobu,Koyomi, or both? VioLink said: That's what I though ROFL. Just a suggestion to all but don't include in the perverted pedo crap cause I did not fap to the hentai of this at all. I did see some hentai versions of this for the purpose of wanting to know of the fan hentai franchise Suffice to say that this episode will flame up another series of those. Perhaps there is not much of those. The only thing I respect in them is that they were instances where she did turn into a adult one. Other than that I delete right away this stuff. So I think if they played around with that adult form in this episode it would be nice provided she can still revert back to being adult. Shinobu in adult form can rival the form of Tepes in Dance in the Vampire Bund, whom does have its resemblances in terms of Tepes and Shinobu. Blond hair that is.I just got done fapping to this episode Sadly it was only loli form whom I did not like. |
| Good episode, I love those long talks. Also, I loved the "Ha ha" |

Digglett said: Being naked = slut. Sure, some great logic there. Why does the human body make people so uncomfortable? Pretty dumb IMO. While I don't equate nake = slut, the issue is really about where one draws the line regarding the sexualization of a young minor. It's irrelevant that she is supposedly 400+ years old - visually she is 10-12 years old. All you have to do is look at one of the poster's comments above to see what the issue is. |

Digglett said: OK explain what is to gain being exposed to ass, privates and breasts of the appearance of a 8 year old? Whom are specifically fogged for ??? Knowing the anime industry to put details. Like shiny ass, you ever heard of that form. Tends to shine out in the BDs when it's uncensored and to put nipples that is for sure. It was done in Tepes in Vampire Bund. There was even one part that was not censored. The censoring was done badly so I saw little glimpses of it. So what's the point?Yumekichi11 said: Wrong.it’s for people to fap to and appreciate a body of a 8 year old whom is useless to make anyone sexually stimulated less they are a pedo Cratex said: I am sorry I am being misunderstood here.
