| Waiting for the subs. Anyways, I hope Hitagi stays like her badass selve xD |
 |
| Wow, I didn't expect them to stay at the park for the entire episode.... |
| Why did he beating up a girl from elementary school. Lmao |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| GG Takes fucking ages, jesus. |
| ahhh i'm like going through my dictionary and pausing its hilarious. |
 |
| Best Episode so far...the dialogue were awesome. |
| I REALLY hope that every episode doesn't consist of Hitagi insulting Koyomi over and over for 15 minutes. It was funny the first time, but having nearly the exact same situation played out again is kind of hard to justify. Only difference was she was a sliver softer on him and seemed to like him in her own dominating way (a shifty way to suggest she should be his girlfriend seemingly). I had thought she became much nicer at the end of the last episode, but i guess her old personality came back right away. I found the first two episodes quite good, but this one is definitely losing steam. Hopefully it is the exception, rather than the rule. |
| Need subs now!! |
| The subtitles are already out. |
| Meh, okay episode I suppose. Koyomi is starting to show his true colors with constant chest and lips shots. Nice to see Hitagi in casual wear she looked more attractive than usual. I kind of got bored with the endless talk hoping something interesting will happen. I bet they had fun riding all those rides. Where were they anyway? it was like they were in some random endless white space with a map that says: • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY What's up with that? |

| Okay shes back to her self old bitch; half of the episode was Senjougahara insulting Koyomi all over the way wich kinda pisses me off since hes really nice to her and I just love him. Anyway the way he beated Mayoi was totally unecessary and extremely ridiculous. |
| LOL! Hitagi hitting on Araragi! Hitagi different clothes and her face in (12:50) LOL!! |
 Make me a Siggy? |
| OMG EVIL LAUGH!! |
| I dont like how she keeps insulting the guy... he is so good to her and she treats him like shit. If I understood right the episode, she was asking him out in a very bad way and she got rejected correct? and they introduced another mouthy girl.. great! -.- |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_49H_N43jQ #MakeAnimeGreatAgain SAY NO MORE LOLI! BRING MORE GENRES EVERY SEASON THAN JUST LOLI |
| wow...just wow. the long conversation was very interesting. i cant imagine any situation where such a conversation would actually take place. OJ that face was rather amusing wasn't it. |
DarkSageRK said: It was way too boring. Got a bit more interesting in the last 7 minutes, but I didn't like this one as much as the others. Exactly. Too much talking, no matter how interesting the conversation was. Sometimes I was just wanted them to move on and get some more supernatural stuff going. |

| it felt like i was watching zetsubou sensei, interesant episode |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| araragi is a dumbass, pedoBEAR, homosexual. i hav a new favorite character. PLUS hitagi in casualwear. moe desu |
| not as great as the first 2 but still impressive. edit: this was my 600th post! |

| Loved the episode, the interactions between Koyomi and Hitagi are just great. I'm really glad that they didn't just shove Hitagi into the background now that new characters are starting to appear and are developing Koyomi x Hitagi :3 Going to rewatch the episode though, since superior subs sucked. Translation was way off at times. |

| I loved this episode, who knew Koyomi was such a beastly man xD I loved their chibi-ish close ups too Hitomi~vvv |
| Surprisingly enough, the dialogue which lasted for more than half the episode was actually quite interesting. I mean, it was kinda weird in its presentation, but I think that was definately a good technique. This is probably the show I'm most looking forward to this season. Senjougahara is ZOMGWTFWTF??? Moe moe moe moe moe moe moe. |
 |
| LMAO, Hitagi is awesome x"D. I am glad she still has her way of speaking. And the fight with Moyoi was also nice. |
| |
| almost a full episode with a single scene.. if it was any other anime, I doubt I'd liked it, but somehow I find this a really good show, even though nothing really happened xD Well I guess this is now one of the top 2 for this season, and those 2 are actually both on the first place xD. really I can't help but to like this show, it's just.. It's gotta be the animation.. or something, kthnxbai |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The best show this season so far. |
| 耳を塞いでも両手をすり抜ける真実に惑うよ。 |
| *unconscious little girl* "the winner is me, as was expected!" *evil laughter* lol! i liked the episode tought the conversation was a bit too long. I love zetsubou-sensei voice, so it was okey xD. |
stayatari said: The best show this season so far. I agree. |

| Wow, 24 minutes of intense brainwash. Pretty cool. |
Myu- said: the funny thing is that it isn't, for the first time I can recall, a bad idea. instead, it's pretty nice for a change. (not like a certain Needless which is just completely worthless brainfuck, which is watched only for the lols, or really.. I don't know why I'm still watching it >.<)Wow, 24 minutes of intense brainwash. Pretty cool. |

| Good lord, Did anybody watch the superior subs version? It's worlds different than gg's and trash in comparison. I feel like I'm watching the epesode again for the first time. Also, I thought it was funny that the panty shot for the day was of a little girl. Speaking of which, I just thought of this, but are we going to get to see a different girls underwear every episode? In closing, I effing LOVE this show. |
| SHAFT is the only studio that can get away with a 20-minute dialogue in one single location the entire time. There was not a single scene where I would not say "This looks pretty damn awesome". Also, someone beating the crap out of a grade-school-girl is not something you see every day. XD |

| Awesome episode! I love the artistic aspect of the show, all the hard lines, cubist landscapes and pop art colors. All the perspectives are exaggerated and warped. You just feel like you're entered some strange dimension every time you watch the show. The conversation and interaction between all the characters is so abnormal and strange, but done in such a nonchalant manner that you can just immerse yourself in the unique flow this show has and enjoy it. It feels like a surrealist dream. I loved how Araragi had his mind set on helping that girl who gave him momentary relief form his sentiment of loneliness while he thought he had been set up by Stapler Girl. I also loved how what was written on that memo as abstract as the rest of the episode. Also, did anybody notice that when Araragi tries to give Stapler Girl the memo, she is standing way to close to him to actually take the memo, and then quickly repositions herself to be in line with his hand? It's those little quirks that I just eat up! :) With first Higashi no Eden, then Canaan and now Bakemonogatari, I'm feeling pretty happy with this year's anime lineup! Even if Requiem for the Phantom turns into a bigger train wreck with every episode... and it has terrible character design... (there, I finally said it!) :D |
 |
| well, you think about it the dialogue, although at moments it was getting strange and abnormal, and at some moments it was meking no sence... _______________________ The dude beat up a little girl XD The tricky thing is that if you fight a little girl and win it's shameful, but if you loose it's even more shameful. It's a Dilemma |
| Get Nishio Ishin to co- write something with Aaron Sorkin and Quentin Tarantino and we'd have the greatest dialog ever produced in the history of mankind. |
| I thought that Spice and Wolf was the best in showing nothing but exciting conversation. This episode proved I was wrong. |

This show has proven to be the best show this year so far, it is just genius, kudos SHAFT. (Those people who voted below a three need to get burned at the stake for such blasphemy.) |

| Usually when there so much dialogue in a series, that's goes nowhere. It get me bored pretty easily, but this one made me love it. |
