| yeah I remember. most part of Nisemonogatari is this sort of comedy, slice of life, funny conversation, or harem events. some of you guys might think that main story has not proceeded yet! yes, that's right. but once main (supernatural stuff) come, this story will be more exciting. there are many puns especially between kanbaru and araragi-kun. 家族間通話 and 家族姦通話 (kazokukantsuuwa) use different word, pronounce differently, but read same... ... hahaha... kanbaru is really perverted... but actually, araragi-kun! i think you are the most perverted! |
  |
| awww wth it's over already? ah well, really loving this season so far, don't really care that there's no story so far because the show is fun to watch and that's all I really care about. |
| Still lots of filler even in Episode Two, but very interesting nevertheless. 5/5 p/s: Also SHAFT seems to have a good amount of budget for this season. The art is WAY better than Bakemonogatari. |
Minenene said: Yes, Tsukihi frequently changes her hair style. The reason why she can do this will be explained later. Or read NiseMonogatari 2 "Tsukihi Phoenix".ArcanaTrace said: I think it's just that she used to have long hair and then she got it cut. I believe some time has past since Bakemonogatari, as you know Kanbaru's hair has grown and I just looked at the profile picture on the Nisemonogatari page and it looks like Hanekawa's hair has also been cut.Anyone can fill me in on why Tsukihi's hair is short? Cause i've seen some pictures in the past and she had shoulder length hair even this episode showed her as this unlike last episode, so is the short hair just an anime thing? Sorry i havent read the novel cause some were still untranslated Well, second episode is more attractive than the first for me. It's because of fan services of my favourite characters. However I like Kanbaru with short hair and Nadeko with bangs. It is interesting that Kanbaru seems hotter after wearing the basketball club's tanktop over her tubetop and short pants. Our imagination contorts the reality. |
| Fanservice-y shows should learn a thing or two from this episode, goddamn. and boo to ryo x ClairS... I like the two, just not together. |
| That OP reminds me of something for the Suzumiya Haruhi series. Well right off the bat I already feel like this series is lackluster compared to Bakemonogatari. The ecchi is more prevalent and typical. Karen is too sexy. LOL @ her Engrish. And damn, she's taller than Koyomi. Kanbaru: I would like to get dressed Koyomi: ...heheuheuhuheuheeuhe Damn those Japanese wordplays. ROFL KOYOMI WENT ABSOLUTELY NUTS. I love the ED. Gotta hand it to ClariS - the song is catchy. |
  |
| I do not know exactly what i saw.. i think the subs were terrible or the episode felt really short...Anyways, ima re-watch it again later since i still don't know what's going on haha. Also.. I really expected a better ending from ClariS+Ryo.. im kinda disappointed |

| There is only one word to describe this episode, SEXY! Anyway why is Kanbaru keeping all those books? |
CJayTiii said: Wow I can't believe this many people are going crazy over 25 minutes of PURE FANSERVICE. you know you were jelly of ararararagi when he was playing twister. i am torn because i want more plot yet more service with these characters. karen seems like an interesting girl, more so than tsukihi but hopefully they will start showing more of them. and these srsly are the shortest episodes ever, even though they are just as long as other shows, the time flies by way to fast. need more. |
 |
CJayTiii said: Wow I can't believe this many people are going crazy over 25 minutes of PURE FANSERVICE. I loved the first series but 2 episodes in and this has no story so far. The intro for Karen and Tsukihi was very well done and interesting, and the direction was on point as always. And I will admit there were a few funny parts. But seriously tone down on the fanservice please! if there wasn't enough material for 11 episodes then don't throw in a pointless episode like this!!! Pay more attention and stop acting like Bake did anything big plot wise in 2 episodes. The story is developing and it is about what the Fire Sisters are doing... |
 |
| i fucking loved it, every part, and especially the ending when araragi screams. His screams is just.... damn |
CJayTiii said: Anime_Name said: Pay more attention and stop acting like Bake did anything big plot wise in 2 episodes. The story is developing and it is about what the Fire Sisters are doing... The first 2 episodes of Bakemonogatari completely tied up the Hitagi Crab story and established Senjougahara as a character. In Nise, The main characters have been in the story for a total of 5 minutes in 2 episodes. Maybe they should have spent more time showing them as characters. I dont know i just feel like there is better things to be doing then pointless fanservice. The crab story was nothing but a 2 episode long character introduction and the crab story had plenty of fanservice time too. The story isn't going to unfold exactly how it happened in Bakemonogatari. His sisters are investigating supernatural rumors and Araragi is going around checking up on all his supernatural friends to find out if something is going on. Nisio is not the sort to get right to the source of the problem immediately. As you should be aware dances around the subject with piles of word games and sexy imagery, so why are you acting like a newfag because Nisio didn't write a story that is as easy to follow as an episode of Blue's Clues? The fanservice in the series is how Araragi relates to almost all of the female characters or have you not noticed that. |
|
| Ok just re-watched with better subs. Pros: Araragi was such a boss in this episode.. KYAAAAA! Kanbaru stayed with the Monogatari Pervert Title. Nadeko made me want to be a lolicon. Cons: Lack of Tsundere-Chan *The Fan Service was really good *The ending theme was meh.. i think it does not fit Nisemonogatari. |

| ep was great so many funny moments. |
 |
| Those girl is like seducing Koyomi lol Nise is like more on conversation while bake is more on story . |
| I can't stop laughing. OMG this series is so priceless. I love thse half-serious conversations and awesome graphics. Kamijan scream was so great. 11/10 |
| Tbh I loved Sengoku's new looks. She is much more feminine this way~ And loled at the Kanbaru part, especially at the end xD It was priceless~ |
 |
| I loved the whole scene and banter with Kanbaru. She is so hot! Having said that. I really do hope they get on with the story in the next chapter. We need more drama and a bit less service. |

kickthebucket said: there are shows with more (and downright anoying) fanservice then this :D Yep. And I either don't watch them to begin with or drop them when it gets past my tolerance line. (shrug) |
|
| I forgot to mention in my previous post that Miyuki Sawashiro's voice work blew me away this episode. Particularly when she was freaking out about her "innocence". |
D5 said: but it bothers me that two hot girls throw themselves at him and he resists both of them. For Koyomi, fear is spelled "H i t a g i" |

Cratex said: D5 said: but it bothers me that two hot girls throw themselves at him and he resists both of them. For Koyomi, fear is spelled "H i t a g i" Yeah, I now realize that the reason NisioIsin had Hitagi confess to Koyomi so early in the series is that otherwise, the show would be all about Koyomi having sex with a bunch of different girls. |
| Araragi is lying. Nadeko looks better with bangs. Nothing significant happened except for the introduction of Karen. Pretty much a fanservice episode. |
| Nadeko is sooooooooo...... Moe? Anyways, she brought up an interesting topic that can lead into Karen's story, so i am staying...... Love Nadeko! And of course, Kanbaru, she is very awesome and looks so much sexier in this season |

KaitoDash said: Lesson learned? Koyomi. I liked the first episode better, but I'm satisfied with Nadeko poses. euphie45 said: Yes, you'll need Bakemonogatari. But not Katanagatari that has nothing to do with this.do i have to watch other -gatari to watch this?? Yeah lesson learned alright especially with a hottie like Kanbaru doing it!!! :D Liked this episode a ton, and yes (to anyone that hasn't) watch Bakemonogatari first before watching this. Katanagatari has nothing to do with this, but it is an awesome show and when you get done with both Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari, watch Katanagatari. ;) --- Randy |
 |
| Both OP and ED sounds good too esp. the latter with Claris. :D What's up with Nadeko's new loo-----HHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!! <3 Kanbaru's antics are just amusing as usual. LOL at the end. XD |
| The interiour design in these houses is stunning. If I were into minimalism that bit more, I'd copy what I see. I like how these series' pretty much mock character trait cliche's, such as catchphrases and in this case, posing. :P Looking forward to seeing where the story will go with the Araragi sisters? Anime's were the girls are significantly/openly more pervy then the male lead is a rare - I can only count them on one hand. |
 |
| Fap, fap, fap. This episode made me, pretty hard. |
Fer said: It felt really short, but at least it was fun :) my first thought as i saw nadeko bending over araragi ^^ |
Anime_Name said: Cratex said: Anime_Name said: Bakemono didn't have plot either. It was just a series of loosely connected characters having their different supernatural problems solved every few episodes. I agree with you there. My problem is that compared to Bakemonogatari this seems to be far more about sex and much less (very little?) about story. Obviously since I liked Bakemonogatari I have no problem with sexually oriented themes (I have my limits, but let's not get into an argument about every individual's arbitrary lines), but we don't seem to be getting any story here at all, which is different than what I'm expecting. But it's not more about sex. So far we have seen 2 episodes and have seen the same amount of sexual scenes per girl and have yet to get into the problem solving part of the story. Instead of putting the sexual scenes in the middle of an on-going character arc the scenes are being front-loaded before getting into the any actual story. We haven't seen more, we're just seeing it first. In bakemonogatari you get up to 3 - 4 episodes per girl. Now in Nisemonogatari we have Karen and Tsuki... Now you know why there are only 11 episodes ^^ Well if they animate the other ...monogatari's too, i don't see the problem =) |

| Reverse raped. |
hakosuka said: Oh wow so much fan-service~ @_@ Hopefully main story starts soon..? I don't get it, just how do people define "Story?" What? fanservice-less hard core seriousness? |

| I don't understand so called 'fans' bitching about 'fanservice', it's like they are admitting to not being fans in the first place. |
|
| ^ Not sure if trolling or ... I agree, a bit too much fanservice in this episode. Karen scene was very enjoyable though |
| ARGH I don't get it! There is nothing about this show that I should like. I hate ecchi, I hate overly long discussions, I hate extremely random things happening. Yet I enjoy every minute of this series. Anyways great episode. I loved the comedy but Nadeko looks weird with her bangs up. On the other hand Kanbaru looks a lot better with longer hair. |
| Nisemonogatari is noticeably more perverted than bakemonogatari...and i love it. |
 |
| I like that Karen's tumbling exit. Hasta la vista! |
