Karen was pretty naive in the conversation with her brother thinking that people who do bad things for money are only part of manga.
Not to mention that she tried to make him stop with a approach that would not work from the start.
Yeah she very stupid. Who the heck taught her? WHO? Cause it really is pitiful. Her approach was good except that because her name implies "Radical" she never though of what would happen if she feared in.
She is still young and still has allot to learn especially that not all things can be solved with violence there are other ways to get at guys like Kaiki.
This is a very harsh lesson to her and i think she needed that but that doesn't mean that this was the right way to do it.
And i do agree with her that Kaiki needs to learn a lesson as well the question is what is the best way to get at him.

Then again Kaiki is the worst kind of trash injecting her with poison and then even stealing her money that guy really deserves punishment.

He even stole her change bastard. Kaiki should get Falcon punched for that by Araragi.
In my opinion he deserves a prison sentence at least but the problem with that is that you need to prove what he has been up the and the fact that he is a con man.
Thing is that he seems to be aware of the law and fraud is a hard thing to prove.

The cliffhanger came as a surprise i wonder what Karen will do.
Probably nothing. Loads of people might get a kick of it but I already know that it's to exchange saliva from her so he absorbs it. Considering the poison may reside only in the saliva like snake poison resides in the blood so you need to inject yourself to live. As such I must say that it could be saliva/spiritual and he is just sucking out the bad poisoned spirit part of her. It could go either way but I don't see anymore than that.
I think she will resist and even punch him basically the normal defensive reaction.
As for the incest lovers.
They might seem close but what i see here was a pretty normal sibling relation till the point where he mentioned that he was going to kiss her.
That they are close towards each other doesn't mean they love each other.

Yumekichi11 said:
Heck the fan service was even perfect! Excellent!. Panties and skin exposition with sweat. Not explicit and just enough. Really satisfied with this episode. Heck even Shinobu almost got MOE out of me but I won't get fooled by that. Almost did there.
Indeed it was pretty well done and worth watching.

Not near enough. The amount of -mostly pointless - dialogue lines in this episode was absolutely astounding. I don't understand where this is all going (except for the mild flirting antics).

As much as I liked the set-up in the previous series, this first serious villian was well worth the wait...
I'm really liking Kaiki even more now then in his intro'; supernatural poison + non fighter + con artist = high level sinister.
Interesting good stuff. ;)

I can't get the image of Eri Kitamura being Sayaka from MadoMagi out of my head. I see Karen, and I hear Sayaka. And they're even thinking in a similar naively idealistic way... Good that Karen is stronger, though.

Loved this episode just like every other of this series.

After Karen's intro, i expected/wanted her to be a more badass character considering the martial arts background. Wish she wasn't as much of a pushover as we see here. I understand it's all necessary for the plot however, cause what beats naked loli baths? loli incest of course.
Ooo, what a lovely tea party.

So in the next episode are we going to get the infamous scene that's been talked about in the Light novel discussions?



I am starting to agree with those that think this season is getting a bit over-the-top with the sexual tension and innuendo. Especially with characters that are considered "underage" in most western countries. The dialogue itself is still amusing. But the overall scenes are getting rather awkward to watch for me.

Well fanservice is nice and all but it seems to get more focus than the plot right now. A plot that really goes slowly. I dodn't know but it just doesn't seem to be as good as Bakemonogatari.

Anyway, they're on summer break (halfway through the school year). Tsukihi and Nadeko are 14, Karen is 15, Kanbaru is 17, and Koyomi/Hitagi/Tsubasa are 18 (assuming everyone's had his or her birthday already).

Give meh next episode nao. Leaving me off hanging with Araragi declaring he's going to kiss Karen!? Damn it. Anyway it was nice learning more about Karen's spirited personality and she's so cute + she bites too. All around win rite here.

Short couple moments of adorable Shinobu hnnnnnnnnnnngggggg. Cool to see Araragi able to talk to her anytime. And lmao when his towel dropped, was anticipating it the entire time. I am also looking forward/ hope to see Senjougahara's reaction to all this at the end of the arc.

Every single episode has been just awesome.

For me, it's Kirika and the infamous "Kurokawa Karen" scene in "CubexCursedxCurious". i just hear her voice and I think "look at me while i do things that should not be done."

Hilarious, I did not pick up on that at all! thanks for mentioning it. I was wondering why his little sister reacted the way she did. The re-watch value of this show (for me) is through the roof. Pure anime bliss.

Wincest.

Jokes aside, it was interesting how she got the bee.

I highly doubt he would actually kiss her since this series always seems to tease you. Also, it feels more like Araragi's personality to jokingly do/say something like that.

This guy is the master of dialogue indeed, Its impossible to mantain a conversation with the adecuated words and solid idea with the proper influence of words one right after the other, Never seen it, nor in movies or in real life but of course is an anime there´s nothing to discuss here.

Yeah that whole series was a (generous) 7 overall if it weren't for this scene from episode 10. That made it an 8 for me, Karen even made my favorite characters list after that XD



Nisemonogatari seems a lot more generous with fan service than bakemonogatari was... I mean considering how much they've shown and we're only at ep5.
Loving the dialogue as always!

Tsukihi is such a loose cannon character. No wonder she doesn't get along with Koyomi.

Hell yeah, finally screentime for Karen! She looks great with her hair down. Maybe she should keep that style for a change, just as Tsukihi cut her hair short. Then Koyomi's last line to Karen, that was a surprise.

I enjoyed this episode. Nice to hear marshmallow justice again, too.
