dashiawia said: I always said so but people don't really "know" what a tsundere is anymore it seems. Either way, the fact she consumed by his htred towards the conmen who destroyed her family is sad. Araragi had some balls to actually straight up tell her half the fault was theirs for falling for such an obvious dupe. Kaiki is the real deal in the supernatural though, which is why they always say he's more dangerous "than the real deal" since someone like Oshino wouldn't abuse his knowledge to trick people.Senjougahara feels more like a yandere than a tsundere to me. I say this because she doesn't act tsun tsun towards Araragi. I can tell she will be potent with any sharp utensils XD. 5/5 episode |
 |
| Besides the Doraemon reference I obviously saw a Meitantei Conan reference. The episode was the best so far, the final scene with Shinobu was fantastic. She's stealing all the show for her. |

| Such a masterpiece episode again.. Finally Gahara-san is back, really missed her The conversations between Araragi and Hachikuji/Senjougahara were GOLD. 5/5 for this episode. |

| One of the few animes where the second season was done right. Shinobu <33 |
 |
| I'm getting love Shinobu more and more especially when she is tsundere |
 |
| Ahh, these cliffhangers nowdays >_< This episode felt so short, I loved it a lot. We even got a little of Hachikuji which is a plus point for me~ |
 |
| Shinobu is the supreme star of this show. |
 |
| awesome episode went to quick lol at the Conan reference so obvious and i wonder i loved that Shinobu foreshadowing really can't wait for the Movie hopefully we see more of Kaiki next episode The The conversations between Araragi and Hachikuji and Senjougahara was great as well can't wait for next episode! |
| What happened to all the sexy scenes? I was really looking forward to that kiss, but at least it did happen. And it seems that it took all of his urges as well. lol Anyway, its already the 6th episode. Are we ever going to go to the next sister's arc? This season is very different than the last one, it makes me wonder if they cut off a lot of material from Bakemori to fit all of the arcs into 15 episodes. |
| so is this how senjougahara ends up cutting her hair like it was in the promotional art? |
| Mayoi said one of the best things I have heard in ages when she highlighted children who don't know they're children having a problem - she needs to be a speaker who gives advice to all those child hero's in shounen's who's overall presence patronizes the older characters of the series. It's good to see some Senjougahara - still convincing herself she's a tsundere. :P Sinobu is making up for all the time she spent keeping her gob shut. The ep' went really fast IMO. |
 |
| Vampire lolis sure are helpful. |

| I wish I had Shinobu's sound effect every time I entered a room. Yes, i love that the dialogue in the series is amazing. But, there really needs to be some sort of action. We're more than half way through the series. We are on our second rotation of character dialogue scenes. Yet, nothing has really happened. Some things that should have happened have been cut out too. BTW, my perverted side so wishes that Senjougahara's request is a threesome with her and Hanekawa-sama. That would be epic win. |

| soo glad the 'kiss x sis' thing fucked off. could still happen at the end of the arc, but for now i'm just glad they didn't go there. next episode is probably gonna be craziness, can't wait |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| It seems that Nise is finally back on the right track in terms of pacing and plot development. This episode also raised some important points which may become fairly prevalent later in the series. Things like the tension between Senjougahara and Hanekawa may not be dealt with in this season, but will probably play a much greater role later on. The next episode should hopefully mark the end of the Karen Bee story arc, so hopefully we get some sort of resolution that will lead nicely into Tsukihi’s. |

| I want my vamploli :3 |
| Ahhh Shinobu was so cute this episode! Oh wait.. She's always cute.. |
Edefrem said: Great episode~ I loved the Mayoi & Gahara~ Those are fine. But the loli vampire is the best in my book :) |
| Tsundere - ing and Tsundere - ed .. My waifu is so smart <3 |
MrDairyqueen said: pretty funny episode, had some moments i really enjoyed. and epic quote time again from Hitagi "if i were a man i would be so jealous of your manliness i would have to kill you" or something along those lines Lol that was my favorite quote as well XD Karen most likely sleep walking lolol jk XD Shes probably trying to punch kaiki ;_; |

ClementIV said: Could be, Bakemonogatari was much bigger than Nise, but several of this info is both new or answered in the prequel novels (all of the Shinobu-centered questions, for example, are answered in Kizu and a lot of the past between Araragi and Hanekaway comes from Black Neko). The monogatari series is quite curious in the fact it has several stories that happen before Bake in between stories that happen after Bake. So in a sense, some things ARE meant to be confusing or partially obscure.What happened to all the sexy scenes? I was really looking forward to that kiss, but at least it did happen.

| How many times will I have to say that the reason this first arc is taking this many episodes is because it has TWENTY-TWO CHAPTERS OF THE NOVEL while the next arc (Tsukihi's) ONLY HAS THIRTEEN. Simple math would suggest that in an 11 episode series, 22 chapters would take up 7 or 8 episodes while 13 chapters would only take up 3 or 4. Eesh. |
| Well, not everyone reads the entire thread, and I guess I should read the LN |

| Probably the best episode until now. We had Hitagi dialog and poses(damn she's a beauty, Araraki you lucky bastard) that is always awesome and this time the other dialogs where great too. Really good. Btw she told him to go get some sleep and that he might not sleep very well at night. They aren't meeting that guy at night are they? So did she suggested what i think she did? Other nice points, was how she seem to be imply that Hanekawa has basically enslave her, quite funny considering the slightly strong willed arrogant for-frond she likes to show. The loli getting upset about Araraki ruining the fun by not molesting her when he had a good opportunity and Shinobu playing tsundere and having to explain it to him. Anyway is not like i loved this episode or anything but 5/5. |
| Gahara and Koyomi should make love already. |

| Oh, my goodness... I forgot how much I LOVE Hachikuji. Her relationship with Araragi is so weird and hilarious. Loved when he "killed her off," essentially, when they parted ways - by saying that bit: "Sad about what happened to that girl named Hachikuji Mayoi... Just kidding." And, awwww, she missed his sexual harassment. Hachikuji loves the attention. X3 Senjougahara is my favorite when she's obsessive and terrifying (like sharpening those pencils), haha ~ it's oddly sexy. Weird how Hanekawa is "bullying"/threatening her... Also, I find NOTHING about Hanekawa moe now that she's lost her glasses and twin braids. Bummer, because she was a beautiful megane/class rep in Bakemonogatari. ;_; "...You have some personality problems, huh?" OHOHOHO, the things Araragi-kun thinks, but doesn't have the guts to say aloud to Senjougahara. XD "Ka ka~" Shinobu-chan's cute little laugh. And Araragi calling it like it is: "So, you're a tsundere, too, huh?" Great episode. Though, I miss Kanbaru like burning. ;_; |
 |
| Ka~ka! Oh my god Shinobu is too cute. Haha Araragi is right, she is a tsundere too, an adorable one at that. Seeing Senjougahara and Araragi have their usual conversation automatically makes the episode great. Lol at her pencil gun, its legit. Watching Araragi declaring his love and saying he'll protect Senjougahara, aww how sweet. And damn, dem poses by Gahara-san I lovee it. She sure looked nice this episode, then again she always does. Ugh she said she's gunna cut her hair. =/ Damn Hanekawa ruining everything, wonder why she's acting like her slave lol. |

I feel like it's really Nisio Isin who has the short hair fetish considering in Katanagatari I hope I still love Senjougahara once her hair is shorter. ;^; |

| Boo, the continuation to last episode's cliffhanger wasn't shown. xD Great, Koyomi has finally turned the tables on Mayoi with that little mispronounced name game they've been playing since Bakemonogatari. A fresh twist to their usual routine with Koyomi greeting her normally. Looks like Tsubasa has Hitagi's number, indeed. Lots of delicious Hitagi screentime for this episode. It was awesome to see her preparing for a war with Deishu using her newly created armory of very sharp pencils. And then those lines by Koyomi. "Sometimes I don't know why I'm dating you." "But I love you so much, I don't need a reason." It impressed her. It impressed me too. Shinobu's appearance at the end was more than welcome, too. I guess Karen Bee is concluding in an episode or two. Hopefully we get some more Karen screentime by then. It's a shame she didn't get to appear much in her own arc. |
| I didn't like last episode, but I liked this one. When I think about it though they're basically the same/ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Pencil tower was crazy. |
 |
| If Nisemonogatari do something really well is to enchant the viewer with the script and the art of the animation, it delivers this attributes with no pretentions at all, being completly conscious of the amount of time spent on every scene, and basically nothing happening in about 10 minuts, astonishing! |
| Uguu~ Poor Hachikuji; she totally prepared it for Araragi also. =[ |

| LMAO I didn't really know Mayoi was that slutty O_O she actually wanted to be assaulted?? that's sick! lol Nice development between Hitagi and Araragi and I will like if we had more from them in Nise |
 |
| I love Araragi's and Gahara's conversations |

| Flawless episode, loved it! Man, I like Shinobu more and more! :D |
| Great episode I must say! Really starting to like it! |
 |
| Nice reference to Detective Conan from Hashikuji! "I'm an adult trapped into a child's body" ahah. Senjouhagara is still a psychotic tsundere, I hate her >< Shinobu still as kawai as ever, I loved their little conversation at then end, about how she has to obey Araragi's requests kaka ! lmao |
