----------------------------------------


Karen gets a "free" haircut, while Koyomi's piggy-backing on her after rock-paper-scissors game.


New character speaking with Kyoto-ben: Kagenui Yoduru

Koyomi's getting extremely dangerous with Mayoi.. o_O


Ononoki Yotsuki... She looks like one of the characters from Katanagatari. I guess we'll find out "what" she is in the following episodes...

Bonus reference from MMM!

I enjoyed Koyomi's attempt on Mayoi's chastity.

Mayoi's "Amagami".. For some reason, I thought she was going to bite off his finger. :|
(Btw, Karen's Nishishi (244) laugh kinda reminded of Miya...)


That's so cute, I would have done the same thing.

A Katanagatari character crap I didn't see that series yet, I've been spoiled a little, only seen Bake.

I didn't mean she resembled a specific character from Katanagatari. It's just that the work is full of weirdo characters with colorful hair just like Yotsuki.

Meh Tsuhiki didn't really appear in this episode, and it is her arc. Oh well, I don't care that much, as long as the dialogue stays the same.

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.

So he was riding her sister almost all episode... Shinobu denying him to harsh Mayoi was hysterical as well.
Lack of Hitagi si rather strange after previous events.
Anyways 2 more ep 2 go.

So, we're 2 eps into tsukihi's arc and there are 2 ep's of Nisemonogatari left and so far there's been no tsukihi and not much has really happened plot wise. I'm starting to think that Nisemono might do what Bakemono did with Tsubasa cat and release extra episodes online to finish the story. I don't know how long this arc was in the novels but it's the only way I could imagine this arc being any good.

A little odd. I was willing to accept episode 8 being what it was, but I'm fairly concerned that the episode hardly touched on what the actual plot is supposed to be. I mean, where the hell is Tsukihi?

Well, whether they release extra episodes or not, I just hope the show is finished without a wait. That would suck.

and once again it felt like 5 minutes although i've already watched it for 25. Plenty of character interactions there, without the main character of this arc though, would've loved to see some gahara san in this episode but sadly it did not happen.

And since when araragi turned into a beastful playboy? He's been putting his hands on every single girls that he could be reaching nowadays. I wonder if tsukihi will become his next victim or not?

Katanagatari has nothing to do with this, it's a series about swords with 40-45 min long episodes that were released once a month, you should watch it. it's brilliant

Is it just me, or is there a lack of consistency? In the last episode of Bake, he says "I am in love with Senjougahara." It's just weird.

I'm also disapointed that Tsukihi didn't get almost any screen time in the past 2 episode but it was a good episode nonetheless , I loved the part with Hachikuji.

Awesome episode is awesome; didn't like Karen cutting off her hair :/ but the conversation between them was great none the less; cutting off hair≠cutting off crotch lol, lack of Tsukihi in her arc was the only down side but perhaps they will do "bonus" episodes, and even if not there were episodes in Bakemonogatari where the character didn't appear all that much, or arcs like Senjougahara that were solved in two episodes. Lol at Shinobu stopping Araragi.

Plot progressed a bit; or rather was set up a bit with the introduction of the new characters; i wonder since they want to "set up" where Oshino used to be set up if they are in that business as well; but if so are they con artists like Kaiki or actually authentic like Oshino.

I read somewhere that Araragi prefers short hair; so perhaps that's the reason Hanekawa, and most likely Senjougahara cut it.

Good episode new party members!!

Karen and Araragi conversation was great,to bad that Karen cut her hair....why she did it!?!?!? still she looks cute without it so i dont mind....that much.

As always Kanbaru was naked reading porn....o my kind of girl.

The interaction between Araragi and Mayoi great as always,Mayoi was sooo cute specially when she bite his finger....and ya they always joke around like that guys so don't make a big deal about the proposal.

The 2 new charactes look really interesting.....Kagenui Yoduru and Ononoki Yotsuki they both know a lot about Araragi work as it looks like....probably next episode will know more about them.

Hopefully she doesnt do it....she will lose all her sex appeal if she do it the others may look cute but Gahara without her long hair....no just NO!!!

Soooooo its Tsukihi arc and she didnt appear besides the openning...WTF hopefully next episode she will have a mayor air time.....cant wait for next week!!!

Not much happened this episode plotwise besides the 2 new characters (seriously creepy BTW). And yeah, Karen Araragi is turning out to be a revelation. I;d love to hear what kind of weird crap Kanbaru is going to teach her...

Araragi proposing to Hachikuji was priceless. I think though the translation should have been " I'm dating Senjougahara, I LIKE Hanekawa..." instead of "I love Hanekawa". I'm pretty sure he says 'daisuki' and in this context it makes more sense.

Watching it now and at 0:42 Araragi officially does admit that he is willing to take Karen’s virginity, which now proves beyond that if he had to he would. Alright Araragi, you have proven yourself in incest indeed and no one can deny it since Suruga heard it.

Actually I am more writing now because of the following,

2 words: DESPAIR and DISASTER. Why did you do it Karen despite the reasoning. My ponytail is gone! No! At least I have a poster with her having it. Oh no! This is not good. I want Karen with a ponytail all the time. She looks good in it. Leave like that for now but it’s very sad to have seen that scene. Good bye ponytail *kusu*.

BTW Image Stitches done in the spoiler
one cool one of Mayoi and one of Araragi.

He said he would rather take it then let Kanbaru take it; bit differently; also like i mentioned before do you really take his conversations with Hachikuji seriously? The ratio for him actually taking talks seriously in this show ain't that high, and that ratio decreases even more when he is talking to people like Hachikuji or Kanbaru.
