| 8/10 Dunno why people are bashing this so much. I enjoyed it a little more than Bakemonogatari tbh. There was a LOT of blood in this episode..wow. Ah well. Now to wait for the movie. |
 |
| Nisemonogatari was awesome, but the final was just regular. |
 |
| Disliked the ending. They didnt show any fight. I only saw Araragi being punched like a worm. He was fighting for his sister.. Really? And they didnt show the fight between Shinobu and that Yokai. I enjoyed this show but the final was not good. |
 |
| When I saw adult Shinobu I was like YES! When I saw Hitagi with short hair I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!?!? Anyway, Nise was great. All the short hair stuff was the only thing I disliked. Still can't wait for more. |

I'll wait for the next ???monogataris series... |

| Enjoyable to watch. And if it's enjoyable to watch, I say I give it a 9! I don't put too much emphasis on ratings though, from a critical standpoint that is -.- Sorta interesting too. Koyomi is pretty much immortal, but Tsukihi can die from regular aging? Hmmm. Nice contrast in abilities. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to that prequel movie now... that 1st episode of the first anime was just too much of a tease if I can still recall it :P And about Hitagi, I think the short hair looks nice on her. But I liked the longer hair better, as it felt like it made her more unique... and prettier. |
| By far the best episode of the show and the only one on par with the good episodes of Bakemono. Some kind of redemption to conclude the series at least. 8/10 |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Shinobu with a Mista DONUT JACKET. AH CAN'T RESIST MY FUCKING PENIS TURNING INTO VAMPIRE NOM YEAH SWEET SHIT KICK SOME ASS LOVE BLOOD YEAH GO NISEMONOGATARI. Give me more. God. |
| Sad it was TBC. But great way to end Nise 5/5 |

Would like to know the name of it ! It was a variation of staple Stable's piano instrumental. by the way guys, nisio Ishiin has announced the last three novels for the monogatari series, check http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=415173. I wish I could read moon runes. |

| Epic Anime Is it me or is araragi like a human punching bag in the whole of the anime :/ wow he took alot of hurt. Tsundere-chan with short hair is ok but I prefer her with longer hair just my OP. Can't wait for more gatari <3 10/10 |

sfrea said: When was he NOT one? People may have forgotten but in Bakemono he was abused and otherwise obliterated in every arc. The only fight he kinda stood his ground was in the Neko fight and a little in Snake.Epic Anime Is it me or is araragi like a human punching bag in the whole of the anime :/ wow he took alot of hurt.

| I don't have words to analyze this show, they wouldn't do it justice. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| love the way araragi scream out for Kaiki. Epic Kamiya Hiroshi |
| rants: WHY U CUT UR HAIR KAREN WHY U GUYS NO ANIMATE ARARAGI KISSING KAREN WE NEED MORE SHINOBU that is all i can't wait for shinobu's season :D |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |
| I wrote this for another forum, but I think there´s nothing wrong in leaving it here too: PD:  KANBARU-CHWAN~~~♥;!! (D*3*)D THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE YOU APPEAR MORE OFTEN, DAMMIT!!! T_T |
 |
| I think it's enjoyable experience so i give it 9 thought... Wait for another monogatari series :) |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| that left me hanging >.< next monogatari come soon! |

| I'm disappointed. Had some great moments, but I expected much much more than this. I'm wondering about how long it'll take for the next monogatari, I guess around a year or so. Still had some unique points and I like the unique animation style. 7/10. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| WHY did you have to cut your hair Senjougahara?!?! ;__; is anybody here who has read the sequel novels and can tell me whether her hair will grow again? ;< |
 |
| Shinobu as a teen is just as freaking awesome as she is as a adorable kid. HELL YEH! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Senjougahara whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy u do dat!? Lmao Araragi looked like a zombie half the time during the fight. Great sequel to Bakemono, really liked alotta episode this season. Looking forward to Kizu and more installments of monogatari.

 |
| This series wasted so much of my time. Viewed on its own, I'd have probably liked it more, but my expectations were set with Bakemonogatari. Last two episodes were good. |
| everyone is cutting their hair! i'm platinum mad! i wish they animated the shinobu pwnage but gotta leave that on our imagination. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| No actual fight scene, just Koyomi getting fucked up lol I was platinum mad that Senjougahara didn't make a real appearance at the end but they went ahead and showed she cut her "long beautiful hair" ;/ Overall, I definitely preferred Bake over Nise. I felt that they went a bit overboard with the fanservice and imoutocest in this one lol Still, I look forward to the next installment in the arararagimonogatari. 8/10 |
 |
bbmello said: glad its over Yeah, I hope I'll be able to forget it as fast as possible. Enjoyed only one ep of this series(6th episode), rest was craaaaap. |
| I really enjoyed 3 or 4 episodes. |
| What's the obsession with girls cutting their hair in this series? Tsubasa, Hitagi and Karen. Highlight of this episode is Shinobu. So moe~ Overall, this pales in comparison to Bakemonogatari since both arcs ended in such an anti-climatic way. |
| Enjoyed watching the series. Hope it gets a new season soon =) |
 |
| Liked Nise more than Bake. Blow me |
 |
| 8/10 liked more than last season. hope to see more :D Love the ecchi and messed up aspect. But this "stylish" art style is not my type.. |

darkerealm said: What's the obsession with girls cutting their hair in this series? Tsubasa, Hitagi and Karen. I'm pretty sure that the girls cutting their hair is a way to move on for them, for example: Hitagi: after episode 7, she was finally able to get revenge (kinda) on Kaiki, and close that chapter of her life, thus being able to move on Tsubasa: we see her with short hair since the begining because in her case, she confronted her feelings towards Koyomi at the end of Bakemonogatari, and after being rejected, she moved on with her life Karen: after episode 7 and 8, she was finally able to form a close bond with her brother, with whom she spent the previous episodes fighting, so she cut her hair in episode 9 --------------------------------------- Other than that, i would say that i really liked the show, and the monogatari series in general, SHAFT of course has the crazy idea of animating every single one of the Monogatari novels, Kizumonogatari comming at the end of this year (October i think), and Nekomonogatari probably comming in 2013 and the rest coming, well, later on. We don't get any sequels of Nisemonogatari yet, as Kizumonogatari is the prequel of Bakemonogatari, and the Nekomonogatari they intend to animate is the one set during the Golden Week (i need confirmation of that), the first time the cat within Tsubasa shows up, again, before bakemonogatari. Well, i'm looking forward to more of the combination of Nisio and Shinbo, those two always make great stuff together (though both of them are Trolls...). 10/10 I will leave a link to a translated version of Kizumonogatari for the ones that don't want to wait to know the story (it is amazing!!!): |

| Well this last two episodes where really awesome but still i don't think this can score as high as Bakemonogatari because it really spend too much time showing us how perverted Araraki is instead of much plot. He really went overboard this time. Teen Shinobu looks more badass and it seem she was kicking the ass of that other little monster girl. Senjougahara's hair really where wonderful but come on guys relax, she looks awesome in short hair too. This shows that a real beauty never loses her charm. Why can't you people see that short hair have their charm too. I did kind of felt enormously jealous of Araraki going to her there at the beach in the end. I couldn't help but think how lucky the damn bastard is. Just look at her, she's so amazing! Damn you, you lucky bastard, maybe it's only fair that you get a few beatings in your life. |

| Tsukihi Phoenix conflict ends, I wonder if Nisemonogatari will get the Bakemonogatari treatment with extra web release episodes. It doesn't really matter if Tsukihi was never human to begin with, she's still Koyomi and Karen's beloved little sister. I thought the two teams were going to go for a draw with both one win and one loss, but you gotta hand it to Koyomi for refusing to give up to Yozuru. Shinobu taught Yotsugi a lesson on respecting her "elders". It's clear how much Koyomi loves his sisters, going so much as to get his ass royally handed to him, and yet win the fight in the way only he can. Nobody messes with the Araragi family. "That's how family works." Though I have to admit that the author's war on beautiful long hair has me platinum mad. Well, it'll all grow back eventually. If he lets them. |
| Am I the only one that likes Senjougahara with her short hair? Actually, I like them all with their hair short, it's cute. Specially Hanekawa. Kanbaru looks better with her hair long though. |
| No. |
| What's with this whole "the author hates long hair" rubbish? If that was true, Senjougahara and Tsubasa would have never had long hair in the first place. They cut their hair (along with Nadeko) becuase Koyomi has a fetish for short hair. |
| Well, let's hope the next monogatari series is much better than this one. It's a shame Nisiosin's characters still suffer from notshuttingthefuckup-itis. |
