It seems as though Hatagi will be more yandere then ever - I wonder if she'll still insist on branding herself 'tsundere'?

I'm looking forward to seeing what's to come in the following weeks, this leaves me wanting more.

THE COURAGE TO BE A TROLL!

Slightly unrealted, but I hear Kantanagatri is a troll too - so I'm off to watch that too tonight.

It sure is. Just recently rewatched it, it's utterly amazing.

Kizumonogatari will be nice one when it comes.. :F

Senjougahara is back as awesome as ever! And Sengoku is still so cute. Still the automatic rape when Hachikuji appears. Pointless convo ftw.

First arc is going to be about Karen, hmm I am looking forward to this.

Awesome way to kick off Nisemonogatari.
I loved the Opening and can't wait to hear the ED from Claris. 5/5.

The opening is similar to the last one, which is great. The dialogues and animation seem great again.
20 minutes gone so fast, let's just hope it doesnt end like 1st season.

For some reason I actually loved this more than Bakemonogatari even though it's the same.
Great how Senjougahara's back to her sadism again.

I was wondering about that too. Shinobu basically gets to witness everything that Araragi does. Seems like a position Momo from TLR;D would envy.

Also, did anyone else feel that the Mayoi saying "if I do leave, I'll properly say goodbye" was serious foreshadowing that she actually is going to leave? That quick cut of Oshino on top of that makes it all the more foreboding.

Don't go, my loveable loli...

A bit late but I love that Read Or Die Reference they threw in there.

A bizarre way to kick into the second season with the opening by having Hitagi handcuff the protagonist. The script so far seems a lot more light-hearted than it did prior it was took itself more seriously.

Yeah! It's MUCH more light hearted than before. I'm glad it is though cause it keeps it more interesting. A lot of the times in Bakemonogatari I found myself getting a tad bit bored during some of the really really serious conversations so I'm glad they're taking a different approach with Nisemonogatari. =)

And so it begins. It's the Fire sisters' turn to shine. A bit odd that for Karen Bee part 1, Karen herself was nowhere to be found.

It's so great to be watching a legitimately GOOD anime...what with all the crappy ones this season.

I love the dialogue in this series, I can listen to the characters talk for hours and I wouldn't get bored.

Overall, a great start 5/5.

(Finally) re-watched Bakemonogatari yesterday, started watching Nisemonogatari today. 5 minutes into the first episode and I'm already pretty sure it's gonna be as great as Bakemo. (or even better) :D.

maybe im getting older, but it seems to me that im the only one who loved the "evangelion" reference here. You know, i think this could be easily the anime of this generation, like evangelion was when i was younger.

I fucking love Hashikuji's cuteness. "Shuraragi-san" "You did it on purpose! " "I've bitten my tongue" "she didn't do it on purpose ?!!" ahah still got me.

Artstyle/visuals stunning as ever as well.

5/5

I gave Bakemonogatari a 6/10 (read my thoughts there if you wonder why).
The sole reason that I'm watching this is that I'm interested in Araragi's little sisters and Shinobu (seeing that she is supposedly a main character here) and I heard that Senjougahara has less screen time this time around (I hated her in Bake). I know there is supposed to be a lot more fanservice (which I don't like all that much), but I can live with that.

I already found this better, even with the very bad first scene (am I the only one who can't fathom how could Araragi love that crazy bitch?). We only saw Tsukihi, but I already like her way more than both Hitagi and Hanekawa (I didn't really have much problem with the others, they were all right). I can't wait to see Karen as well, I hope they will be as good as my first impression was of them.
The part with Mayoi was fun as well.

Started watching this, really hope it is better than Bakemonogatari. More focus on the sisters and less to none on Hitagi would be the ideal.

You are not. And I also gave 6/10 to Bakemonogatari.

Great start! Senjougahara acting the way she does was really powerful. I was dying during the scenes with Hachikuji too. Loved the Evangelion reference too since I'm a huge fan. Excited to see more
