| Love Nisemono, but seriously, how will this end? |
 |
| This episode was actually rather entertaining. Might've been the fact that Hachikuji and Kanbaru made an appearance in it, which are the more tolerable characters in the series IMO. And lol I couldn't help but notice the Kyuubey icon, as if my attention span wasn't bothered enough already. 4/5 for this. |
| @ 8:50 I see the sign showing a Kyuubey! And sexual positions lol. XD I wonder who those chicks were and why I should care? |

| Oh, Karen has a key ring in her sister's shape, how nice. Anyway, again a really enjoyable episode along with the introduction of two new characters: 1. Yoduru Kagenui  2. Yotsugi Ononoki  While Yoduru apparently seems to be quite a capable fighter based on Karen's observations Yotsugi seems rather odd wearing a strange hat and constantly claiming to have a posed look contradicting her appearance. Maybe they are searching for Oshino? On another note, I really liked the visualization of Koyomi's inner monologue. It’s good to see that SHAFT is as creative as ever. Hanekawa is still wandering through the city as always. The situation at her home hasn't changed apparently. So, Koyomi does love her, huh? Well, it’s not like that would necessarily contradict his relationship with Hitagi. Men are able to love two of more women at the same time (otherwise how could there be any love triangles to begin with) without either relationship losing its merit. Concerning Hanekawa herself her manipulative character becomes more and more apparent even if it's rather subtle. I'm really looking forward what she will contribute to this series in future events. |

Mayoi is to Cute XD |

| WOAH... Tsukihi got virtually no camera this episode O_o is this really her arc? I laughed when Shinobu grabbed Araragi Koyomi's feet, and denied him of touching Mayoi and the silent girl felt like a MISAKA clone sister clone(hahaha) |

| Very interesting episode, with the two strange girls. We didn't see Tsukihi at all, and it's supposed to be HER arc. Hachikuji always makes an episode better! I agree with everyone talked about the "I am in love with Hanekawa" thing. I thought that was weird. |
| Get ready guys, it's reaching beyond the realms of the Gods. I have so much I want to say, but you can't put my feelings into words. |

| WHY must every girl cut their hair!?! Karen's ponytail was one of her major things going for her and it's gone now! besides that this was a pretty good episode even if there wasn't any Tsukihi...but i have a very bad feeling about these two girls mainly the creepy last one if my experience with watching mongatari series has taught me that all the girls are crazy strong and the fact they feel these two are stronger is scary lol. |
 |
| Should've had a scene of Kanbaru and Karen talking, more than just being introduced. It seems like it would've been neat, especially after all these incestuous metaphors. Or Kanbaru in general. A bit disappointed that there is no Tsukihi as well. She seemed an interesting character, but Karen is fine too. I like how the new girl narrates her life. Also, I prefer short-haired Karen to the pony-tail. And all this hair cutting in general. Short hair looks better than long methinks. For a show that has lost any and all plot, i'm surprised i enjoy it so much. |

| >Closed wrong tab, long-ass (considering my standards) post went to hell. ffffuuu... I liked how Koyomi x Karen convo showed Karen's change aside from being just awesome as always. Then new characters seem interesting, especially Kagenui. Wonder about their relation to Tsukihi's Phoenix. Hanekawa seems more S every episode. Also i'd like to say i like how cutting/growing hair shows the charcter development in this series, but some cases are really bad. Like, Karen looks okay without ponytail and Hanekawa looks better with short hair (glasses though щ(ﾟДﾟщ) ) but Tsukihi growing more than semi-long and possible Senjougahara cutting hers (like i keep hearing) will be unforgiveable. And actually i don't see why Hanekawa both got rid of glasses and cut hair already, she's suppused to have some familty circumstances still going on(which her always being outside house would prove) so i'd rather do one thing a time. :V |

| Awww why did you cut your hair Karen-chaaan? >< Awesome episode once again, pure gold. Karen's idea about always-win tactic for rock-paper-scissors and her suggestion about making things "fair" if they'd cut Koyomi's crotch off made me laugh xP Hachikuji and Koyomi's conversations are always so awesome xD I'm really not sure anymore how Koyomi feels towards her anymore... it's so confusing, lol And Shinobu tackling Koyomi was the epic moment of the episode! Really got me there :D Looking forward to learn more about Yodzuru and Yotsugi's motives and plans, why they are in the town and why they wanted to go to the abandoned cram school... Does the place itself have some specific meaning or relation for all supernatural or spiritual things? I also find it quite annoying how clueless/slow Koyomi is about their speciality, motives or whatever you wanna call it... "Devil boy" and "hornet sister" are quite obvious hints Only two episodes to go, the plot will move forward a lot in the next episode, can't wait for it >:) |

| I dont get how I love this series so much. I vote for the sheer RANDOMNESS!!!!! You sit there listening to random usually pointless conversations and you get so caught up in it, it ends just like that. Gotta love this episode though I want to see more Nadeko and Tsukihi. Karens haircut was random as when she cuts her hair her hairpin magically lands back on her head. Kanbaru was hilarious in this series and without clothes you can see she has a nice figure but she reminds me of someone i know................scary. Actually I know quite a few girls which remind me of all the girls on this show maybe thats why its so interesting. Maybe I should test Araragis way of approach on one of them, Do you think I'd die? |
| Anime, Food and Sleep Who needs anything more! |
| Shinobu troll level : Master |

| I'd probably prefer having more plot than fanservice from now. Those two new girls are interesting but well, I guess I'm just hoping for nothing as it stands. It will always be 90% fanservice and 10% story. |
Fausto said: Karen is so damn tall. Watching this episode reminded me of that; would you say Tsukihi is short or average? |

Fausto said: InfiniteDestiny said: Compared to her brother and sister id say she is short.Fausto said: Karen is so damn tall. Watching this episode reminded me of that; would you say Tsukihi is short or average? If she is short on average then it would be ironic that Karen is really tall and Tsukihi is really short and Araragi is in the middle. |

ClementIV said: It's Tsukihi's arc, yet she has only had like 2 mins of screen time in these two episodes. Not sure if they are going to finish this in the two episodes that are left, I just hope that they don't do what they did to Bakemonogatari, taking a year before they release the final episode. Karen didn't get that much quality time in her arc either. It was actually Tsukihi that got screen time before Karen did. I get the feeling that the next two episode will start to show Tsukihi. I also get the feeling those two girls introduced have something to do with her. |
| so it just confirmed that nothing dangerous happened between those two in between those 2 episodes. |
monkeii said: So, we have 2 more episodes. And this episode, we covered from Ch004~005 of the original novel. I had some faith that Shaft would be able to finish the series within the time limit, but... hmm. Unless a miracle (with a chance of 0.00000000000001%) happens and we get a 40~60mins episode for ep11, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to finish this arc within the next two episodes. And we would get a repeat of Bakemonogatari. I don't know which I prefer to watch. To RUSH the arc and finish it on time, or to watch the anime exactly as the book was written. Garhhhhhh!!! Please let there be a miracle. So it would need one extra episode to have a good pace and still finish? how many episodes were added in Bakemonogatari? |

| They really do like their Karen fanservice. |

shanimebib said: "I am dating Senjougahara and I am in love with Hanekawa. But I plan to marry you." Did anyone else get kinda mad at that? I mean if you love Hanekawa then go out with her. I know it was probably just put in there to be funny but it just sorta bugs me when he says shit like that. Anyway another fun filled episode. I can't wait to see what happens with the two new characters showing up. Party at the abandoned cram school? I think yes. Also....I miss Oshino |
 |
| Kyon would disapprove karen... but hey am I the only one who thinks she looks cute with short hair? and just what the hell is hanekawa up to? |
Wasabi said: They really do like their Karen fanservice. man dat ass. when nisemono started i thought i would like Tsukihi more but Karen definitely takes the cake in my book. i dont see how this is going to finish in two eps, and i hope they dont do a bullshit web cast of the last batch of eps like with bakemono. |

Anyways, story is going at a snail's pace (ZING). |
| The author has a short hair fetish. |
-MgZ_ said: The author has a short hair fetish. lol, nah. They're all just cutting their hair for closure. I don't remember to explanation, but Senjougahara was talking about it a few ep. ago. |
Yumekichi11 said: Wasabi said: Yeah well Karen with a big ass does not look good to me TBH.They really do like their Karen fan service. for some reason....she looks like a bee in that shot |
| lol so rnd but so good and only 2 ep left... |
 |
| Not only Puella Magi, but Nausicaä too. I didn't expect to see this scene in this series :D |
| Nonono Araragi sir, you shall be staying together with Senjougahara for the rest of your life. That is how things should be. |
 |
| Did anyone have vibes from the character: http://myanimelist.net/character/19737/Last_Order In terms of the character of Ononoki? Her way of saying things directly link me back to how Last Order was acting around. Of the many references
