Whoa, pure dialogue episode. The little struggle was nice though.
Hitagi (looked really nice in her clothing) has truly a very cold way to put everything to words xD

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.

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

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.

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! -.-

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.

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.

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???

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

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 >.<)

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!)
