She'd do that so that Araragi wouldn't do anything to Senjougahara's "pure body" or something like that. That explains it for you? |

Sacrificing one to get the purety of another. *nods* |

| Free service for Koyomi, that made me laugh till I had a nosebleed. |
| I wondered how less Araragi cared about nearly punched to death "free service" what is she thinking Kanbaru is no match for Senjougahara and not only because of her ugly mummy hand XD I hope they solve this arc in the next ep and start the next arc with a less unattractive and more likeable girl. |

| Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Also a strange anime ^^ |
 |

formosan said: 2. She says "Don't imagine you will find chaste girls - girls talk about sex." That is a double joke. a - Senjougahara is in fact a chaste girl - she insists on strict monogamy. b - Sports girl herself is a porn-fantasy bicurious pseudo-lesbian, not a realistic lesbian. Sexless people are far more common in reality than bicurious lesbians. So you have a totally unrealistic imaginary hyper-sexed character, saying that sexless chastity is an unrealistic imagining. First of all, she never said that. She said something on the line of " Don't think that you will find every girls chaste and even girls like to talk about dirty things from times to times" And if you think she is pure porn-fantasy, then you are wrong. One of my female friend talk much more about sex than her, in public. She can discuss the flexibility of ***** with you. Oh, and she's a fujoshi as well, and into BL. Even though she's not into yuri, but I can guarantee you she talks more dirty than Kanbaru... |

I think Japanese women have a shame of not talking about dirty things. That girl is Canadian or North American right? BTW do send me a PM about then censors you put. About the bondage part I put in discussion, it seems to be a popular stree reliver in Japan right now. There was report about it Wakka. cyruz said: Shaun_K said: No shit.

I also want to know why copy the other anime of some elements when there can be more original ones then there are now in this anime anyways. There was a report that Japan might be running out of ideas.....I wonder if this is one of the many other proofs like Haruhi being a K-ON copying possibility. |

| A very good episode. I found myself laughing quite a bit. Don't know how I feel to this new girl. Wonder how things will turn out at the end of this one. Being that arm is really a devil's arm eating at her soul when she makes a wish. The parts with that arm were very creepy. I think I might have felt a chill. Senjougahara's service is very nice indeed. Gotta Love her <3 "Think Happy Thoughts until you are able to move around again." |

That was the most disappointing and disgusting episode I've seen in a long time. How could they screw up such an awesome series in such a... lame way. and  |

| Just an OK episode to give info and to finish the clincher of episode 6 :)) No Senjougahara most of the episode (only at the beginning) :D |
 | The void is endless | |
| I'd say that this and episode 4 are my two favorites so far. And I suppose 5 is kinda okay. Though overrated and I like episode 4 better. Every other episode in the series has been kinda "meh" and mediocre for me. |
Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I must confess, Kanbaru doesn't seem like such an interesting character to me either. Hitagi is awesome and so is Mayoi, but I don't really get much out of Kanbaru. Maybe next episodes will make me think better of her. As for this episode, the 'service' bit was funny (pretty sure the light was meant as some sort of artistic interpretation of the whole glory of the moment, combined with a train passing by). And his various expressions to Kanbaru's confession made me laugh. |

| this show is awesome, i love it. |

| 'The Monkey's Paw'... believe you me, that is one damn creepy story. Read it if you can, it'll take all of ten minutes. Here it is. |

Sorry but after the Monkey Paw parody on an old Simpsons Halloween episode, I can't take it seriously anymore and I don't want to ruin such a story with my own laughter. :( |

| Argh. I guess I have to wait for the next ep? Cliff Hangers. D: |
    |
| This was naisu |
| As we get deeper into Araragi's and Suruga's relationship, we realize the secret that is covered by the bandage - something which looks like a monkey paw, but in reality is a devil's hand, belonging to a devil that possessed Suruga. A mix of horror, drama and comedy this episode is, using Bakemonogatari's trademark even more this time - symbolic images during conversations and other scenes, this time remarkable being the hand "transformations" when the two were talking at Suruga's house. I guess we are getting another ritual from Oshino next time, this one to help Suruga with her possession. Something like an excorcism maybe? Haha. 8/10 PS. Not enough Senjougahara this time. PS2. The ED has really grown on me, great tune. |

Shroomie said: Anyone else get the same vibes from this show as a Quentin Tarantino movie? I mean, because of the long yet quite amusing dialogue. Not a bad thing at all. :) now that you've mentioned it - definitely yes. the dialogues and scenes with blood splashing everywhere (here actually tarantino took reference from japanese / asian movies, but anyway). devilish000 said: A mix of horror, drama and comedy this episode is, using Bakemonogatari's trademark even more this time - symbolic images during conversations and other scenes, (...) here, i can fix it. should be: A mix of horror, drama and comedy this episode is, using SHAFT's trademark even more this time - symbolic images during conversations and other scenes, (...) people, get over with it, it's SHAFT's anime. it's not really unique. it's just made in SHAFT's style. it's really not one of a kind, so if you like it this much, try digging sayonara zetsubou sensei or maria+holic. and to make it straight: i don't wanna offend anyone and i'm not saying that bakemonogatari is bad. i'm just tired of people saying it's the only story animated with this style. *sigh* having said what i wanted, i feel better now ^^ |

| shaft does have really a lot of shows this year: 3rd Zetsubou Senei + OVA Bakemonogatari Maria Holic Natsu no Arashi season 1+2(coming out in oct.) While they do have a few similarities, but each one definitely has its own style (I havent watched so much of Natsu no Arashi though) and if you talking about unique, Zetsubou must be in my opinion the most unique one of these. |

| Hm hm..so she is a Lesbian..Lesbian jealousy can get you to a hospital |
 |
| Good episode. I liked it. The whole thing about being a lesbian / in love with Senjougahara was so surprising, wasn't expecting it o.o I feel bad for her :[ |
| Not the best episode bad still good. Senjougahara giving a pantie show to Araragi was her only appearance in this episode but it certainly was a strong one. After that everything went rather usual. Araragi found another girl with a problem and as always he is helping out. Now we have to wait and see how they will get ridden of the demon. Am still wondering why her room was filled with those books. And as a Declared lesbian what the hell was that proposal to Araragi about giving her body. She is more like a Senjougahara maniac than a lesbian. |
| Is it bad that I like Suruga more than Senjougahara? She seems to have more personality, and a more interesting past. |

| It was interesting with the monkey's-not-monkey's paw and everthing but I think that Suruga's character is just thrown in there for some pointless fanservice...not that that's a bad thing or anything but come on! Lesbian, lolicon, yuri/yaoi fangirl, and talks dirty? It just doesn't seem right.....eh oh well But this part was funny It gave me a good laugh XD |
kielmaru_07 said: Also, Gainax rip-off if you know what I mean. I have no idea, but I'm quite curious. Would you mind explaining it? :3 |
| ...::never knows best::... |
| Senjoughara's 'favour'... XD L-lol, did he just?...in her room?... Belum_Nabum said: Araragi's expression at Suruga's confession of her being a lesbo. PRICELESS!  Agree xD |
- If you believe this place holds you, it is a prison. If you do not wish to leave, it will become a fortress. Current icon: Kusuriuri from Mononoke by pana (LJ username) |
| Senjougahara really know how to mend a guys wounds, upskirt pantsu FTW =P So we now have an dirty talking, tomboy lesbian among the cast as well? Could be alot worse (^_^) Though I am the only one who was really bugged by how good her arm was wrapped? How tight must not that have been in order to press all that hair down and make her arm appear human, not to mention make her fingertips smaller^^ |
| Geez, things just keep getting weirder and weirder. It was surprising to find out who the assaulter was. |
| woah .. to make a deal with a demon o_o |
     |
| I can't get this show at all! |
