A lot of Hanekawa this time. Never thought she could be so interesting when you peek inside her life/personality more. She looks a bit like Senjougahara in her cat-form, does anyone else think that?

Apart from that, I found that stuff with Sengoku confusing. She's awfully cute and I enjoyed the part with their conversation, but what did Araragi want with her?

Oh, also, terrific beginning, what with the music, scenery and all. The art looked crisp.

This episode was completely different from the last episode. I really like this episode. I'm anticipating frot he new OP.

I thought that this was only a 2-ep arc. If its 5, and the 3 ep is going to be streamed online, it kinda makes the ED pointless.

Meowhahaha! Dark Tsubasa is totally awesome =D

Really sad back story though, I hate it when they get abused by their parents, always make me so sad and angry =(
Especially when they accept it and think it's their own fault.

Looks likes there's been a serious cut down in animation quality now, it's way worse than before, though only a few episodes left so no point it dropping it now.

What is this? I think they're trying to do it like Haruhi Suzumiya, so that you can watch it in any way.

Again, no Senjougahara in this episode. I wonder what's going to happen in the end since I heard that episode 12 will be the last episode aired on T.V.

Btw, cool fight. That cat form Hanekawa was damn hot. I like her more when she's not wearing her glasses. :>
I also liked Nadeko in this episode. She's like so innocent, and shy. Aaah moe. :3

Awesome episode. Lol what was Koymoi doing to nadeko around 10:10-10:50. Putting his hand near her face, and lifting her skirt? I didn't quite understand that lol.
See the comment of the standing signboard which appeared back.
That made some more sense. Thanks!

They try to make it better by using the nekomimi-factor? Good Idea, does not make it all so boring. But behind that it's still just not good. (At least I don't die of boredome.)

I'm so confused.

Seriously, someone please explain to me how "THE SIGN!" in any way explains what Koyomi was doing when trying to touch Nadeko's face and skirt?

And, what in the world caused Nadeko to run off in such a manner after Tsubasa appeared? I don't get it!! And it's driving me nuts; It's like everyone understands but me. T_T halp

Opposite to what's everyone saying, I actually prefer that there are eps without Senjougahara lol. Her character isn't...Really fun to see, it's always kinda the same, the other chars are a nice change. I want a few more eps without her, than bring her back.

But yea decent EP, weird seeing the Sequel first, instead of them doing the Prequel to this anime first. Idk, cool animee.

I have no idea about what Koyomi was trying to do but the sign does make sense. You see, she didn't let him touch her face but she seemed ok when he almost lifted her skirt. So I don't know, it's like he was testing her or something? But one thing's for sure: she was defending the wrong place indeed.

Need moar Hachikuji and Senjougahara, miss them already!

I think this episode shows us a taste of the prequel (Kizumonogatari), that Shinobu thrills me to no end, I want to see what's her part in this show (an essential one, no doubt).

Yeah, this was a pretty cool episode. I'm guessing all that stuff happened in the prequel like the guy above me said? I want Senjougahara now, though.

What the hell, I could've sworn Sejougohara was an MC. I loved Senjougohara in the beginning and was expecting this series to feature her, not use her as a "problem of the week" for araragi. Well, just call it a hunch, but I have a feeling she'll be featured soon in the series I mean she is an MC right?

So, we finally made it into Hanekawa's arc. So far, I'm oddly impressed. But, it's kind of frustrating not knowing the background of Shinobu's details because she was the resolution to the previous Golden Week incident. This will most likely be cleared up later on into the series, but, it makes me wonder what her deal is sitting there every single episode she's featured in. I see this big setup coming, but, I just hope it pays off. And the deal with her staring at men and women differently? Hmm, odd, but interesting. Looking forward to the next!

Bakemonogatari in a nutshell

Pretty artwork
Almost no animation
Gimmicky character reactions
Manface women
Constant eye shots
Constant splash screens with random text
Contrived dialogue
Generic characters
Shallow plot

Instead of being monster of the week, it's oddity of the week. Protagonist helps women with their problems because he's nice. Some of which fall for him. The structure of the series is that of a standard harem.

Why do people like this show?


I don't know if standard harems start with the protagonist dating a girl he met in episode 5 and locked up with her forever. Harems usually have routes or different options and choice but Araragi doesn't really have a choice.

Opinions are opinions. I don't really see what "manface women" has to do with an enjoyment of an anime, generally the females of this show are designed really well.

Seems most of your post is just railing on Bakemonogatari. I don't know why you watched it til episode 11 if you find so many faults with it.

becuz some ppl wanna see to this through the end and/or want to put it in their completed list??

and i actually like how there's no hitagi, makes the series more enjoyable.
