So Suruga's attack was not on purpose (might be subconcious purpose)
Her arm was kind of kimo :< , but she did not bad as Araragi's conversational partner
and it's not just monkey but a devil's hand, so it might be a lot more difficult to handle.
Definitely waiting for next ep

That was one episode full of dialogue...(as always?)
Anyway, would love to see how they solve this next week and hope we can get a conclusion then move on to a new character (somehow didnt find this monkey/devil claw girl interesting enough, maybe because she's les? :-) )

LOL @ big service Senjougahara gave to Araragi, i bet he couldnt really see that much though. -_-

Long dialog indeed but the illustration is what I love during the dialogs. I also love when the sound of the voice changes when the character talks about something serious.

That hand was disgusting when suruga was talking with arararararagi and it grew 5 more hands from each finger.. Lol I got the chills there.

Devils hand.. I wonder why this arc is called monkey then O_o

senjyougahara was tsundere and now a yandere interesting :) Wonder whos next.


Well actually,, the illustration disappointed me this episode.. The legs of araragi @ 13:15 was alil short and small.. Also @ 22:00 meme's fingers was off scale aswell..

This show continues to be great, the off beat dialog, the art, and most importantly the story arcs. I'm liking this arc over the previous Mayoi one. 10/10 for sure.

I really enjoyed this episode but there was a thing that i clearly didn't understand...
Why did they go to that room full of books, and if that is somehow related to the story...
but nonetheless this was a great episode with the nice service from senjougahara! by the way sugura can be almost a good talking partner as tsundere-chan! :D

And the conversations in this series, are ever so good : D
Hmm.. doesn't it somehow sounds familiar.. granting 3 wishes in exchange for your soul, I think I've heard that somewhere before xD

Oh I wasn't trying to imply that you're Wrong, just that I don't agree : D

And lastly, the ed is still great, and I can't get enough of it : D
(oh and I feel kinda sad that gg's sub isn't out yet, and I had to watch some random sub to satisfy my hunger for more >.<)

Did you not watch it subbed?

The roomful of books is Sugura's room. And the books are implied to be all BL.


i missed that first time, but already got it, even though i thought it could be related to some books about monkey's paw or anyrhing like that...

I was surprised they used a horror story of the monkey paw for Kambaru Suruga's possesion. The original story is found here:

The author William Wymark Jacobs here:

So Suruga means bondage torture (second reference other than in Fight Ippatsu Juuden-chan #9 about bondage this week).

Bondage reference again. Seems quite popular in Japan. O_o


Araragi's expression at Suruga's confession of her being a lesbo. PRICELESS!

I would GO OUT WITH HER! She wears only spats with no panties. LOL.
BTW I LOL at the censors in the beginning. Now that was ridiculous after exposing Hitagi's body eariler on.

Oh they say things quite clearly around 17:00 in the episode but I will see this again with gg subbers.

Also the Boy Love reference was hilarious! Wow, a girl that is lesbo likes boy love. Hmmmmmm, interesting. *Takes psychological notes*

I will join you. At least we know Senjougahara does not like lesbos. Which means she is a pretty straight girl.

She isn`t called a cocktease for nothing !

And yeah pretty good episode, though I felt Suruga was too much like a Senjougahara2 than an original character .

I actually thought a little about that too, she was.. kind of like her.. although if these two were sheets of paper, they'd be in different shades of white. (I wonder if that was too cryptic for anyone to understand.. heck I almost don't understand it myself : D)
And yet another time, I write something in this thread : D

That one bondage shot looks like it was copied from the first season Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening.

Great episode as usual, and the stapler opening is really growing on me. I would have liked to see more Hitagi, but I'm sure that we'll get to see her more towards the conclusion of this arc.

And lol, nice service.

Suruga is verrrrrrry cute. If she had long hair she'd be cuter than Senjougahara. Just not as cool. Cuter, but not as cool.

Great Senjougahara at the start, but too little later on, although it wasn't too bad, since Suruga is funny/cool in her own way.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.
