Karen's delicious body not exciting enough for you?

Umm no. Middle school, no thanks.


What?! Your age, grade, or (gender) shouldn't be impeding you from KNOWING that Karen's body is delicious.

And maybe your grade is restraining you from seeing the greatness in each one of these episodes >__>
Hey man. She is like 17 or 16? That's no middle school. It's highschool.

koyomi should be 16-17, karen and tsukihi should be 13-14, they also said before they were in middle school

OK but Tsukihi should be 14 no? Karen is around 15/16. Technically she should be in 1st year of High school at least.

In my opinion, this episode was rather boring compared to the others. Episode 3 is still by far the best.

Lol Karen got owned. She kinda deserves it for just standing there and talking. Besides Karen getting attacked this ep was kinda boring.

Oshino, Guilotine Cutter, and Kaiki. I'm really getting interested in the mystery surrounding them and their connection to the gods, spirits, and curses that Araragi keeps running into. Knowing Nisio I can't imagine he's surrounded by all these extraordinary happenings just to drive the plot. Araragi has had somewhat minimal involvement in solving his friend's afflictions up to this point, so I have to wonder if he's being trained as a real successor or replacement for Oshino, or not. The relationship between Oshino and Shinobu and it's impact on Araragi has my gears spinning as well. I can't help but think there's more to that.

Not too worried about the lack of Senjougahara this week since being that Kaiki's involved she's got to have a major part to play. I'm still trying to figure out who that 'pig' was she mentioned back in the first season, and I don't think it has anything to do with Kaiki since he was the first swindler. Hope that subplot gets wrapped up sometime down the line.

LOL araragi's towel fail = WIN, and then his 5 friends fail = MORE WIN

and damn, another episode without any senjougahara action :(((

i guess the kiss will cure karen's poison.
i wonder how koyomi is going to beat kaiki? (hopefully with a kiss xDDD jk)

1. Araragi is a badass.
2. Karen's hot.
3. Toothbrush scene better be animated.
4. Kaiki is an amazing villain type.


The moral of this episode is :

Money isn't everything.

It's just mostly everything.

I'm going to bump the rating to 10. This series just keeps impressing me over and over again.

I wonder what Kaiki's actual thoughts are. I doubt he's going to be just a shallow antithesis to Araragis, he must have some hidden motivations. Since it was implied the bee would challenge Karen's perception that people who do seemingly selfless things have purer motives than people who act for their own gain. In Kaiki's philosophy they are actually hard to separate so maybe he has deviated from the same path after experiencing something. I somehow get the feeling he's actually trying to help her in the long run. Thought the bee's extremely lethal nature more than kind of contradicts that so I must be just seeing things that aren't there. Anyway, his motives must be closely related to what Karen and Koyomi do and a jab at the flaws of their way of doing things.

And what would "regret over not regretting something" actually be? Effectively the only thing I can think of is she did something wrong but didn't understand it, therefore she wasnt able to regret. Because she felt no regret she felt no reason to apologize properly which ruined a relationship of hers and is something to regret, maybe.

Interesting development with the Kaiki scene.

Though I feel like the series should be more compact and squash into 8 episodes total instead of 12. The pacing is kind of slower than your average series.

The plot is very diluted, because shaft was given 11 episodes for one arc I assume, while in previous installment - Bakemonogatari, arcs had 2-5 episodes at most, and Tsubasa Cat wasnt even originally aired at that time.

Its just an another type of pacing for the series, and if you watched it all at once it wouldnt drag that much as it does when anticipating it every week.

For me, I enjoy the good scenography, fast paced exchange between characters, and minor to moderate nudity teasing, which still stays in good taste, unlike disgusting garbage like High School DxD. New take on visuals adds to the series, which still, was taken a notch up from the prequel.

The plot, as I've said, seeps in slowly but surely will turn out for better.

I just need more Senjougahara in atlast.

It's sad that this is true.
But it won't stop me from watching it

I have nothing against this.. I just find nothing appealing about the series. People tell me how it's unique, some people even mocked my intelligence (They got pretty mad when I mentioned I'm Jewish and they should shuddup about intelligence.) and.. ughh.
I can't find how unique this is. Perhaps unique in a bad way.

Culz. Sadly Nisemono looks pretty average series atm.

I dropped it from the first episode because it seems that it's just as bad and boring as Bakemono was.

I didn't like this episode quite as much as last week's, but it still didn't let me down. I loved the scene with Kaiki~
I wonder what Koyomi is up to... if I remember correctly, vampires are weak to poisons. Can't wait for next week, once again! ;)

Hanekawa teasing Araragi is just LOL. XD

So we got to know how Kaiki caused a fever/curse/poison to Karen.

He's pretty interesting to say at least and liked his room/office visualization that matches their conversation.

I don't expect something like a kiss there but damn, it left me hanging for a while there.
