| I want it nao! |
 |
| Oh the art and the character design of the anime just made me love it.Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Hah, I love how the Araragi family all have ahoges. A beautiful episode once again, I'm lvoing the sudden change in character traits, and I keep falling in love with the ending song, it's like I've never heard it before each time... |

| The Opening was awesome, "Staple Stable", I'll remember that. Though the entire time I had to think of that really old quote "I believe you have my stapler?" saorren said: ...am i the only one who still don't get it? i'm dumber than araragi-kun it seems =.= the crab confuses me -.- I think the easiest way to simplify is to say that weight equals burden here. The lost weight is technically a (really happening) symbol for the lost feelings. So the crab is not really evil, it took away her pain but she also lost her weight due to that. She apologized and thanked the crab because she wants to face her past properly (and get her weight back). |
 |
| Yes, that was rather deep and interesting. Excellent episode especially with the talk in the beginning. I hope she will still be a part of the show even when her arc is over. I also hope she won't change too much due to having her feelings back. |
   |
| Amazing episode, loved the interactions between Araragi and Senjouhara, and the plot took an unexpected twist. As others have said, I really hope that we'll get to see more of Senjouhara. |

| Amazing episode. For now, I hope that Hitagi personalty wouldn't change that much. Also, I'm really liking the ED song. |
 |
| Amazing episode^^ anyway, ep was really pretty nice. now shes like a another person. the past was kinda sad, but hitagi is really a awesome char. and the op was great, in music and staples xD |
     |
| [Edit] Random Curiosity noticed staplers having sex in the OP. xD Metaphoric show is metaphoric. The OP is nice, as expected from Shaft. I wonder if someone will one day tl and ts all those signs and newspaper pages in this show. xD Poor Araragi, now he has to carry Hitagi's feelings. ^^ |

| Ah, wow. I just took a second look at the first episode's OP, and it seems to show every character with an arc at the end. At the very least I saw it say "hitagicrab", "mayoi maimai", "suragamonkey", "nadekosnake", "tubasacat", "koyomiVamp.", and "kaishi". "gen. saku. nisi. o. i. sin." and "aki. stn. kan. yuki. bou. toku." appear after those appear. I'm guessing the character name is in the first part, so "Hitagi", "Mayoi", "Suraga", "Nadeko", "Tubasa (Tsubasa?)", "Koyomi", but the "Kaishi" one intrigues me. That, and who the yellow-haired demonic woman in the same OP is. Definitely an interesting show coming off watching Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei's first episode. |
     |
| From wiki. "The events of the previous chapters play an important role in the subsequent ones." So yeah, we probably haven't seen the last of Hitagi. That's good to know. :3 |
| Wow, watching with the right mindset/knowing what to expect, this was a great episode (and I rewatched ep1 too). I'm curious about the upcoming arcs. I preferred Hitagi as a heartless bitch though ^^ ps.:yay for fanservice |
| Made me feel smart cuhs I figured out that she needed to get her feelings back to get her weight back :3 |
 |
| OMG! what a magnificent fanservice! :D Senjougahara has just become my #1 tsundere character. Her statements are priceless. |
| This anime is weird.. but I like it. Naked Hitagi was so delicious. Lol @ Araragi weighing 100kg. |
 |
| *clap* *clap* *clap* YAY problem solved now what? stAtic91 said: Naked Hitagi was so delicious. Lol @ Araragi weighing 100kg. XD, that 's what i would say, ah looks like my eyes did not fool me after all <_< |
Ximinez said: OMG! what a magnificent fanservice! :D Senjougahara has just become my #1 tsundere character. Her statements are priceless. This Sir, QFT However Alice is also a great tsundere. Anyways, great arc, great story. I just loved how they started of to the goofy ecchi first halve. To the deep meaning and emotional second halve.. When they were like both can be pronounced as "omoi" I was like. Ok so it's like that. And I was right. I love this anime. I hope we get 2 see more of Hitagi though. Or else they would kill me ;-;. But maybe new characters are cool though xD. Oh well curious what we get. |
 |
| I feel so stupid... about half way through this episode i shouted out "OH MY GOD THAT IS THE SAME VOICE OF ZETSUBOU-SENSEI". I am so slow -_-. Yet another good episode, wasnt entirely sure if the first half being almost entirely fan service was a good idea, but it worked so why not. |
| Currently working on http://www.theblankpages.co.uk |
| Aaah, I'm loving Hitagi more and more My guess is that she's going to become more shy after the crab is gone, so she probably won't willingly show her naked body xD |
 |
| Lol, some quotes which I really liked: Well are you going to say something? What do you want me to say? You have a nice body? You pervert. Wow, it's really unbelievable, that under this skull there are some brains. You just want so say I am dumb? O no just because of me, he now knows that he so dumb. I feel the responsibility. Just awesome :'3 |
| |
| And looks like we have favorite of this season. Good seiyuu, great art, story and characters, awesome shaft style. I already love it! Hope they'll keep it up. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Hmmm I'm not liking the sudden change in Hitagi that much. I liked her snappy tsundere attitude better. The conversation they had at her place was just hilarious. I like how Hitagi's bra and pantsu had staplers and scissor patterns on it. SHAFT is just so lulz with details like this. |

| Hmmm interesting episode, mostly thanks to Shinbou's direction. Apart from that, I must say that the script and characters feel totally blank to me for the moment. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Hitagi is so awesome! The conversation they had in her room was just so hilarious. I wonder how she will be like now that she has changed. I think we will be seeing her in the next episodes. Araragi gaining 100kg! haha. |
| what is a person with SAD to do.. |
| Well, I totally see why Kamiya was chosen for Koyomi now. Very good episode. I wasn't a fan of the fanservice, but at least they kept the dialogue snappy during the process. Not much else to say, it feels like Mononoke, SZS, and Mushishi had a baby. |
| Pretty good. I'm hoping they'll keep it up for the next 13 episodes. All in all, fanservice was great and at the same time sufficient and not too over-the-top like some other anime here and there. |
| Well I like the opening and the ending was lovely. Too bad i didn't had enough stapler-sex as the first episode. Good fanservice. |
MikiyoJul 13, 2009 5:00 PM
| Staplers... hmmh. Well at least in this one she got her feelings back which is a good thing. But the guy gained 45 kilos!! That's a lot. :/ Anyway I love this episode it was simply amazing. I'm looking forward to next week :D |
 |
| awesome episode. haha the staplers... I am guessing Senjogahara has a major office supply fetish. :P |

| Beautiful Episode. Love Senjougahara. OP/ED were great. |
| so this is a short-arc type story, mmm interesting senjousahara was just great, and she beame somehow cute at the end, will she appear again? looking forward for the next arc |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Man, this was a great episode. From the nose-bleedingly awesome fanservice to its really intense shift to the dramatic in the 2nd half. |
| Amazing episode, the character interaction is just great, the animation continues to be jaw dropping and the idea of a crab taking away the painful feelings along with burdens was marvelous. Also, who could have thought that staplers would be so freaking awesome, and that fanservice was cool (especially that slap in the a$$... *drools*). Can't wait for more. |
| It's good to see another show that really brings out SHAFT's quality again. I'll be watching this eagerly. |
| That was quite interesting a guess and I'm glad to see that she has changed with her memories back. |
 |
| I liked it much better then the first episode >< |

| I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Honestly. |
| I liked the op a lot. Good episode, I also like the whole weight concept. |
| Oh I quite liked the OP. The music in this episode where they were on the 3rd floor creeped me out. lol. So wait, will Araragi be able to get rid of the extra 45kg? Plus, his sisters were cute. |
"I've read so much manga that at times my mind works in comic panels and dramatically expressed chibis. I'm both ashamed and amused by this." |
| awesome stapling OP awesome stapling episode senjougahara is actually pretty cute. <3 and araragi's sisters are also cute. the episode was pretty good too. loved the comedy in it. |
     |
| Great episode, but who else was reminded heavily of Blair and Soul when Senjougahara stepped out of the shower and began harrasing Araragi? |
 |
| Er... anyone here get freaked out with Araragi's weird faces coming in different flavors in this ep? He always makes me expected him to go nuts at any moment over Hitagi's "OVER 90 cm!!!" butt & created "Hitagi RAEP part 2" . What a freak :o |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| the animation was a bit over the top. not to mention too ordinary by their standards. i should not have to see too much of another anime into a new one. they could make it their "own" without really making it too similar to what they have done or always do. as far as story though it played out well. her character changed a bit too much though. i guess that's what you become when u can feel again. |
