Too much fanservice, I don't like it.
The only scene I really liked was the Karen's one.

Good episode,the OP and ED are great but that ending.....soooo nice.

Many fanservice again(that is not a bad thing),specially liked Nadeko part she is extremely cute and ya....now i know some of the H-doujins references out there o.o

Karen Chan makes her appearance,i already like her,she has this cute aura and also is as crazy as Araragu.

Kanbaru part was full of lol specially the ending....poor Ararargu feeling what if feels to get rape :P

Next episode probably will finally begin Karen Arc fully.....cant wait!

Am i the only one who felt a little uncomfortable watching Nadeko's scenes? i mean, she's what, 13 years old? i'm fine with Kanbaru (she's old enough ^_^ and somebody needs to teach araragi-kun who's boss)

but between this and last episode's Mayoi pants, it's getting a little bit too lolicon for me.
i love the art and THAT opening? WOW but i'd prefer less fan-service involving little girls

Either way, my theory is - after Tsubasa's fanservice is cleared we get more Karen and her supernatura-mystery stuff and less fanservice (maybe not no at all, just less than up until now).
really hope you to be correct there, this is becoming like a fanservice rush xD
at least doing that(hoping you're right) it makes more unlikely to have other fanservice on the same character too soon (not like in 11 episodes there should be all that space for that)

the fanservice is becoming a bit annoying for me, the only redeeming thing is that the development is hidden inbetween the fanservice schenes, so totally discarding them is no good or you'll miss those hints

pretty damn good episode hoping the plot picks up soon because it seems like there building up something with the sisters hope i get to see karen fight or something because im starting to like her alot >3, and i guess Kanbaru took the roll of giving Ararargu a taste of his own harassment lol and i think hes learned his lesson~.

So, this is how a SHAFT production looks like with an actual budget. The OP and the ED were truly godlike this time around animationwise.

What Nadeko said was quite interesting, it looks like there were more cases of attempted curses and the Koyomi sisters are investigating the cases with supposed curses right now. I assume this will be the reason how they got in touch with the oddities.

On another note the sexual innuendos in Nadeko's scene were over the roof and it was amusing to see how Kanbaru tried to preserve her reputation as a pervert in front of Araragi.

Not sure why there are so many people complaining about the fanservice. It has already been there in Bakemonogatari and I found it actually pretty hilarious how the girls teased him deliberately knowing about their charms.

Oh, and this is quite a smug face Araragi has here:

the complain i think isn't really only about fanservice, but the lack or too slow start of the story (maybe there are to high expectations about this serie after bakemono, and it's also possible this slow start is only meant to reset those expecations to get to the story part with a clear mind)
and the abundant presence of fanservice becomes a good target for the frustraction

EPIC face of Araragi in the following,

That was one of the best in this episode. I am surprised no one mentions the following,

that looks like a plain rip-off from Silent of the Lambs but most of all "Candy Man" and that is exactly what the made me think.

While Nadeko totally impressed me mostly with her faces in the spoiler
those 2 among the other ones if I ever edit my fist post were really poignant in the MOE field and the nasty one. With that face at the end it seems she really did want to rape Araragi. It did not look like it but she really wanted to do it Nadeko there. Could thing her mother came because I am not so sure of Araragi’s libido considering the last pose of Nadeko in the spoiler
it sure got harder around there to resist.

While Araragi’s face as Mayoi was hilarious along with the proof he did get raped in the spoiler
someone missed that both his pants and boxers are in the air. That means Kanbaru could see his private easily.

Well edited my original post for GIFs and Image Stitches among them in the spoiler
Nadeko in 2 variations in full glory! She really looks good like that.

Hahaha now thats the way to get back at Kanbaru but Im sure he'll never do it again.
Sengoku was sooo cute. My fave still and I think she did plan to rape him, I mean he was completely locked in, her room has a pin lock.
BTW as a side note I cant remember so Ill look again but doesnt her room look like a girly coloured version of his. Maybe im imagining things.

Whoa woah woah, he got raped? That's quite nice for him...... But the part where he screams like Hachikuji Mayoi was funny as hell, guess he won't touch her anymore...... At least not in the beginning of a conversation ;)

Good episode, I really liked Kanbaru's new look, though I can't say the same for Nadeko. Kanbaru is probably the best girl in this series either her or Nadeko...

So, Karen has a plan? Or is she just deluded like Okabe?

She's definitely older than 13...... Not that that it would change how cute she is.

Eh, that was more for comedy for me.

We will have to see what Karen has in storage for us I suppose. Hmm what's up with the page number being a lot less?

Why do I see people needlessly objecting to the fan-service? It was the same back in Bakemongatari, where you expecting something radically different in its sequel?

Mataku...

Well, this was one boner-inducing episode. I am not disappointed.

That episode went by quickly.
I was really expecting more face time with the sisters and less with Ararargi, not that I dislike Ararargi. I hope there is least one episode devoted to the sisters detective thing or whatever.

I hope they won't rely on pure fanservice for this one...I'll be disappointed if they did a Bakemono fan thing: I'd like to see them take advantage of the story and features that make Nisemono a valuable sequel.

kanbaru as a lesbian should read about 2 girls having action and not two boys!

Nadeko wasn't trying to rape him,she was trying to be seductive.

But Nadeko's curse was because of a classmate right ? I don't know why Fire sisters are investigating someone else

Love how Koyomi got Kanbaru about her being a normal girl. Hahaha.

Love Karen! She finally appeared!
And love Koyomi as Hachikuji!!! Hahaha. So fun. Can't wait for next ep!

Karma's a bitch ain't it. Araragi now is the one who gets raped by Kanbaru. That oughta put him in Hachikuji's shoes and teach him never to sexually harass a loli ever again. lol

Hohoho since when did Sengoku became so daring? Locking the door while her parents are out then seemingly trying to lead him on by saying it's hot, getting him to strp and asking him to play those games that lead to sexual mishaps like Ou-sama and Twister.
(and no I'm pretty sure Ou-sama is nothing like "Simon Says")

Nadeko should be around the same age as his sisters...so 15.
That's almost legal if not already in some countries~

It's normal to reintroduce the old characters at the start of the sequel, and it's not like the story didn't progress either with the mention of that curse in the Karen segment. Also with someone who wants to get into Araragi's pants and a self-proclaimed pervert, there's got to be some strong scenes to home it hard.

I'm also curious what's the meaning behind the title and what's in that closet...
