| 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. |

bloodyemi said: 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 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? |
| Well apparently in Kizu Shinobu goes through several stages of changes. Shinobu's age timeline take your pick: http://topicstock.pantip.com/chalermthai/topicstock/2011/02/A10258760/A10258760-0.jpg |

 |
| 8.5/10 Rounds up though The conversations are slightly hard to follow along with due to the pace But the animation for this multi part series is pure orgasm. |

I don't remember it quite that good, but wasn't she taller than Koyomi? If that's the case, she would be older. EDIT: Looked it up, she is in fact taller, so she has to be older than 18 though it's weird that she would still grow. |

| Well I really liked this season but I liked more that dark feeling that Bakemonogatari has to it, this was a little more lighthearted and well...extreme doses of fanservice. I do hope that we get more from this series in the future. |
 |
| Aside from the fantasy fulfilling Shinobu, incestuous Araragi, and then Zombie Araragi I think my reactions is like the many other Nise fans; That was the ending .________________________. ? I mean at least with Karen's story there was a huge build up....and Kaiki was in it :D Tsukihi's chapter really brushed by the entire plot leaving us disconnect with the entire story. I would of expected that they would of taken the Bake route and have Ep.11 as some sort of explanation or build up episode and then finish it off with the extra DVD releases. |
| That was it? Here's hoping Kizumonogatari is much better. As of now, Bakemonogatari still takes the cake. |
 |
| Wow, older Shnobu is just stunningly beautiful. I was engaged in Nise much faster than than Bake and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. A combination of the 'plot', gentle pacing and probably seeing Araragi's devotion to protect his sisters was what connected most with me. Also, the music was especially amazing. Lovely finale and a lovely series. 10/10 from me, |
| damn teen shinobu is fucking tall and awesome esp. with that laugh nise was pretty good 7/10 MOAR GAHARA PLOX |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |

"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Quick Review: Pros: *Epic Shinobu is Epic *Araragi's face while he was getting owned was GOLD *ROFL'd when Araragi climbed all the house and was like "KAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKI" Cons: *Senjougahara... REALLY?, i thought it was a joke when i saw some pictures of her short hair.. but now i really want to kill myself.. *Such a fast episode.. really wanted more Anyways.. "TO BE CONTINUED" = Instant Win, because to be honest.. we need MORE EPISODES PL0X |

| Decent ending to the anime. As a whole it was ok, the lack of eventful things happening in the show though makes it nowhere close in comparison to bakemono. it wasn't bad but wasn't great either. |
