| The end was kinda ... bleak. But yeah, how it was delivered and the incest-ish feeling made it work out :D |
| Good to see a to be continued. People blew the 'incest' way out of proportion, but doing that is the job of the internets I guess. Looking forward to more Nisio, and hopefully Zaregoto is on the horizon. |
 |
| Noooo it's over. Want Kizumonogatari to get out now. Also I seriously want dat instrumental arangement of the op that played at the start of the episode. |
 |
| I absolutely love this series, Bakemonogatari blew my mind and Nisemonogatari stands besides it for me. You don't see this weird non typical type of show often, I'm glad it exists. But it's just sad that it has ended, guess I will have to watch Bake and Nise again. The music including OPs and ED in this show is fantastic (Bake likewise), many shows are somehow a bit lacking in this regard. Koyomi died several times in this episode. "Platinum mad" was plain awesome. Teen Shinobu kicks ASS. Finally, I would like to say that the studio seems to really love what they are doing, you can literally feel this kinda special vibe. Anyone else thinks so? |
| Well I've definitely enjoyed both Bake- and Nisemonogatari, solid 9/10 for me. But WHY did Karen and Senjogahara cut their hair :(. Can't wait for Kizumonogatari. |
| great episode and great ending to the series 10/10 can't wait for the Movie its gonna be awesome with Shinobu!!!!!! |
| So it's over eh? Alright, so we got a colour and style rich episode befitting a fine Shaft closure, can't argue with that one. Speaking of Shaft, they proved us once again that they can't into animation. Well no shit, lol. I can't quite say that I had my mind blown by this episode...but it has always been a style over matter sort of anime, so I didn't come with those sort of expectations from the first place. It delivered what it promised, and that's enough for me. Oh yeah and I liked the soundtrack that was playing near the end too. I'm giving this ep a 4/5. As for my final score for the series- I'll start off by admitting that it was inferior to Bakemonogatari, but I wouldn't call it a disappointment. Well, how should I put it... I'll start off by saying that while watching the show I was in the mindset of this being a 6/10 sort of anime (In terms of plot and character complexity and depth atleast), but I'll have to admit that if nothing else, this show kept up it's quality and style steady along all it's episodes (which is quite a rare attribute in anime nowadays). Also, it had a unique vibe to it which differed it from other generic anime, and made it worth giving a try to. While it lacked in the plot department it managed to make it up by having iconic characters that didn't necessarily have to be 'deep' in order to thrive (the sort of thing that the 'moe culture' can appreciate, I guess) . It might not have had the exact same 'touch' that Bakemonogatari did, but it fullfilled it's role regardless. So I think that it merits a steady 7/10 from me. Can't say that I'm gonna rush watching the next Xmonogatari series though, whenever it comes out, that is (oh comn who am I trying to fool here...). |

| Love Shinobu, this time she turns into a teen right? Well... that's the end of the reason, and Araragi is freaking immortal |

| Really enjoyed this season, but it was way to short. Oh well Kizu coming up. Sales for Nise will probably top 50K. I highly doubt that this is the last we see of Araragi and harem. Either 8 or 9. I'll be nice and give it a 9 for now because it really was very entertaining and was the shortest 20 minutes, every week it aired. |
| Did everyone miss the extra scene after the credits? |
| After reading through the comments - am I the only one who liked Senjougahara with short hair? |
| I am platinum satisfied with how the series ended, but short hair on Gahara-san irks me because it's like an infection... |

HawthorneKitty said: I am platinum satisfied with how the series ended, but short hair on Gahara-san irks me because it's like an infection... tooootally agree, wtf why they did this to her? btw, they did with almost all the characters, first tsubasa, then karen, and to fuck with all, hitagi :\\ |
| yooo mina :3 |
| There is some great symbolism in this anime, I think that is what I like the most. I am pretty sure they were thinking about Jesus Christ when they created the phoenix story, otherwise there is too much coincidence! I mean wouldn't that explain virgin Mary getting pregnant and Jesus himself resurrecting? omg! Jesus Christ is a phoenix!!!! xD |
| I actually enjoyed the series overall. I cringed at the incest sort of scenes but still. I wish Araragi put up a fight and also wish we saw the fight between Shinobu and Yotsugi. Next is Kizumonogatari. I heard it was gonna be an Anime film released in theaters and realized i'll have to wait 6+ months after the airing until the DVD/BD gets released and then subbed just like the K-On movie T__T . Some other questions. What exactly would of happened if Shinobu took all of Araragi's blood? Both Shinobu and Araragi power up I know that much but would Araragi turn into a vampire again or something if she took too much? Gahh I can't wait for Kizu so I can see how he turned back into a human (mostly) and Heart-Under-Blade's adult form . Also can Araragi die from physical injuries? Or is he really immortal. Senjougahara isn't bad at all but I prefer her longer hair more. Totally expecting a kiss after the end credits but nope... |
 |
| Finally some action!! >:D but short hair senjougahara IM PLATINUM MAD! >:| to be continued... will be waiting! ^_^ |
| The final episode to Nisemonogatari (more like Wincestonogatari xD) was absolutely brilliant. Araragi being so badass and a great brother helping his Tsukihi. That kiss scene was hilarious, golden :D Loved the background music, instrumental version of the OP, so good. The fight scene was animated extremely well, very entertaining, especially seeing Araragi's 'zombie' state lmao. xD. Also, TEENAGE SHINOBU, OMFG FUCKING LOVED IT <3 Couldn't stop saying 'oh wow'. :) Episode ended very nicely, Araragi telling Tsukihi that he'll introduce Senjougahara to them and Tsukihi was plantimum mad. :) Senjougahara's short hair is pretty unattractive though. Ah well, not a big issue (smirk) Overall 5/5 for this episode. Well, Nisemonogatari as a whole Anime, I fucking loved it. I never once felt bored and dissatisfied with any of the episodes, was entertained throughout all the episodes and fucking laughed my ass off in each. The animation is top-knotch. Music was fit the scenes so well. The scenes, just like Bakemonogatari, very unique and appealing. The characters are the ones that shined though. I loved how Araragi kept teasing Hachikuji, for the win. :D Also, fucking loved Karen. Those scenes with Karen and Araragi were the best. WINCEST FTW HECK YEAH LOL xD And Shinobu was so fucking cute as a loli and sexy as a teen lmao. Overall, I loved Nisemonogatari and I guess it's safe to say it's better than it's prequel ;) 10/10 Hope to a 3rd season soon. Still cannot wait for the prequel movie to Bakemonogatari though. <3 |
 |
| Well in this season was less action, but I still liked it. I didn't like the OP, like those in Bakemonogatari. Fire sisters, Shinobu (loli and adult, she's always cool ^^), Kagenui and even Kaiki was an interesting figure... And I like short hair. Anyway, Gahara is Gahara, her hairstyle doesn't matter. She isn't just some shallow characters that you like only for her looks. me now wants another season... |
 |
| nice ending for a brillant show 9/10. |

Jesus Christ is a phoenix!!!! xD Uh...no. 1) the phoenix comes from multiple branches of mythology. 2) Jesus was "reborn" but he wasn't immortal. 3) I don't think labeling Jesus as a monster would be a good idea on the author's end LOL. way too many people would get pissy |
| it was platinum good, i said it with a posed look 8/10 for me |
| finally over . 8.5/10 from me although gave it a 9 here. |
| I so love this series. And I so want to watch the movie now. Also, Senjougahara is always cute, short-haired girls for the win! <3 |
 |
| So it's finally over, huh? Good, good. After sitting through 11 episodes of this trash (just so I can actually say I watched the whole thing) it's safe for me to say that nothing of value was lost. |
| Seeing Kiss shot in her late teen form got me so excited. I was expecting a one sided battle with the (fmr) legendary vampire ending them all-- even with unspecified limited abilities. I really want to see Kiss-shot in her final form and I hope Kizumonogatari comes out fast. She is one of the most intimidating yet caring vampires I've ever seen. |
| Didn't like the fight that much, but the Family thing was very nice It also shows something like Adopted or Step Family People that attach to you would grow to you Nisemonogatari was very good nonetheless and enjoyable The Phoenix story really surprised me |
| I'm platinum mad that they cut Hitagi's hair short! >:( |
| Shinobu looks way better in her teenage/adult form it seems more befitting to her. I think this was one of the best episodes of this season and the season in general could be better it doesn't live up to Bakemonogatari hopefully second season will be better. I did enjoy it though and it was worth watching. Kagenui seems like a good person to replace Oshino tho she is a bit to violent. I liked the fight Araragi looked horrible after it but was still able to stand and say his little speech. Seeing Senjougahara with short hair was also a surprise it seems like all the girls that had long hair have short hair now and the short haired girls are starting to have long hair. |
| Thus, the curtain have been brought down for Nisemonogatari, it was enjoyable. I guess all good things come to an end. |
| Another anti-climax. Meh. |
| So Araragi's fight scenes in Nisemonogatari only involved him getting brutally beaten up by his opponent and eventually get tired and give up. Pretty lame of him but good show all in all. |
| That conversation about fundamental philosophy of good and evil and value of the real thing and an impostor just made my day. The supernatural phoenix-cuckoo talk in the first part was an interesting metaphor for Tsukihi being an impostor. Kagenui's too badass for an exorcist. And her backstory with Kaiki and Oshino was worth listening. Such an interesting trio. :) I also wanted to see how teenaged Shinobu owned Yotsugi. =,= As to their shortened hair, it'll probably took time for me to get used to it esp. Hitagi. :( Overall, the series was better in terms of visual presentation and animation than the prequel but I still prefer the latter more because of the dialogues. I still enjoyed the dialogues here though but not in level probably with the prequel. |
| It's finally over...isn't it ?! |
 |
| It was a nice series, got it's good parts. 8/10 overall. Next is Kizumonogatari's film (it's a prequel of bakemonogatari). |

| Do you think this is a motherfucking game? |
