Is it just me or Zange's talking about ancestors really foreshadows chapter 18 of manga ?

Oh my God Karuta was so ADORABLE X3

I love her ED, its so cute. Strangely I never noticed she had such a bouncy chest before, but I like it :P

I honestly thought Watanuki was just gonna be some annoying guy but the way he cares for Karuta is a very nice and redeeming quality about him. They'd make a really cute couple :3

For me this was much better than the last episode.

I don't even care that this doesn't have an actual plot yet because this episode was cute.

I actually thought it did well in that regard. From what I've seen so far, a big part of the story is about how Ririchiyo (and others, it turns out) need to open up and make friends, and today Ririchiyo just made two new friends.

The episode despite being slow at first and m,ore on the character developmental between Ririchiyo/Zange, Ririchiyo/Karuta and Karuta/Banri, it quickly went amazing at the end with the “Nure-onna” aka evil mermaid. At that part Ririchiyo really pleased me with her poses in the spoiler
particularly that face in the first frame. It really impressed me because Ririchiyo looks good in them including the last one whom does show that she wears red panties, not sure if fudonshi but it looks more like it except usually those are white while hers matches with her skirt. There is one thing that shocked of Ririchiyo and it’s the following,

Damn! Ririchiyo coughed a small stream of blood. D: Ouch!
She coughed after that too. She was none the less good at shielding Banri and hitting that monster good. Wished she would started bleeding and pissing out blood to die. That is one sick ass monster. Should have been killed since it eats humans.

About the ED, Wow did they do an amazing job for fan service of Karuta not to mention sexy poses and her food intakes. The list
  • In particular in the spoiler
    was the best of fan service of Karuta. That underwear display was quite something along with that black nightgown.

  • Can’t exactly deny the skirt shaking and breasts in the spoiler
    the way it was done was also cute in there. The art style reflected that IMO.

  • Some pretty open shirts of Karuta in the spoiler
    along with maid, PE outfit and swimsuit.

  • The food displays were nice in the spoiler
    shows Karuta is crazy over sweets like ever. Some very expensive ice cream sets.

  • Most amazing pose of Karuta in the spoiler
    sipping coffee is quite something nice to see of her.
    Along with some chibi form of her.

  • The last 2 parts in the spoiler
    were nice and those damn credits ruined the other one. Both are nice poses of her holding Banri in Tanuki form. I also liked that kiss part here.

  • The render in the spoiler
    was another artistically render that’s nice.
So these are mainly the things I loved of the ED and that it showed Karuta having indeed a rack there considering I am a guy. May edit this later if time allows.

BTW Some works from the ED I did in the spoiler
mainly of Karuta.

Some Image Stitches from the ED in the spoiler
of Karuta.

The lack of Miketsukami in this episode made me a bit sad, but I absolutely loved all of Karuta's scenes with Ririchiyo and Watanuki. Their friendship is so adorable! And the ED was too cute for words... is Watanuki going to have his own ED as well or does Zange's technically count as his? XD I have no idea what to expect for the next episode based on the preview but I really hope that we get some substantial plot progression, although the episodes so far focused purely on character development have been lots of fun!

The only one is the one from the pic I posted but bad timing, I don't know why they did at that time other than showing the shot was that powerful.

Still not cool seeing a blood stream on Ririchiyo. She is too MOE, she needs no blood on her.

Karuta's skirt is so short her panties would show anytime she's not standing straight up.

Watanuki x Karuta is pretty cute.

Ririchiyo in a pony tail is pretty hawt.

Karuta seems so powerful that I don't know who could really stand up against her.

Nice episode overall, good to see Ririchiyo fight even if only a little bit; looking forward to seeing the plot progress however, while the character development episodes like this are good, i'm interesting in seeing Soushi's past and the connection it has to Ririchiyo.

I was not aware they did ED4 for Bakemonogatari. Nice one. I did think it was a calm ED somewhat and sweet too. Hard to describe that one just felt it like that.

I really like this anime, and to be perfectly honest it surprises me. I'm not one to like stuff like this... the best i can describe this is.. really just everyday normal life stuff, totally not into that (aside from the demons and monsters).

Though it does lack one thing, action.. I understand it's still fairly recent but there hasn't been anything but random stuff/everyday life things. But for some reason still liking this anime alot regardless of the missing action! So i'll stick to it and see what happens.

Judging from whats been going on i think its gunna turn into some action soon :)

What are you talking about? There will never be any action because it's clearly not an action series.
The fact that they are half-youkai is merely a characteristic not a plot device.

Haruka sure is amazing. She looks like she is oblivious but she is really on top of things in life. And Ririchiyo is so kawaii in a ponytail and labcoat.

roromiya has officially replaced ririchiyo as the sexiest most awesome character in this - not only is she a skeleton specter, but that voice by seiyuu hanazawa kana is to die for! love her performance, so husky and shy at the same time! this show just keeps getting more sugoi with each episode! genius!!!!!!!!

I agree with the person above me. Haruka is sweet, yet strong and protective of those she loves. Excellent qualities in any person, but combined with her adorableness and that voice....yeah, hands down cutest character in the show, easily.
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.

A "wet woman", lol!

That creature was pretty scary and so is Karuta's alternate form! Watanuki's power wasn't all that useless after all. He made a diversion so Ririchiyo could attack.

Karuta is cute, but I can see why people find her weird. You can't tell what she's thinking half of the time. =P
