Whoa, this was great. Compared to Bakemonogatari, this seemed like a great step up in the animation quality. And it’s awesome to see it’s as quirky as ever.

That ambush was crazy. But i still don't get why Araragi was tied up in the beginning. Anyway this episode was a good start for this season.

Rewatching, might as well after rewatching Bakemonogatari.
This gives me an excuse to download all the episodes instead of streaming.

Great first episode! The first scene reminded me how hard it is to like Senjougahara. I think she's way too pushy and annoying, but I guess she can't help it. Ararargi and Hachikuji's interactions are always my favorite. She's sooo dang cute-funny. Sengoku, too.

So this show is supposed to focus on the sisters? I'm actually really interested in seeing more of them, because we never saw them and Araragi hang out. Bet it's gonna be good. They seem like they'd have a lot of troubles.

Ahhh, I love Mayoi relationship. It's always a mix between perverted lolicon stuff and cuteness overload xD
I hope what she said at the end is not a foreshadowing :(

That scene at the beginning with Senjougahara was hilarious. She's an hardcore gilfriend, closer to a torturer :P

So now he's heading at Nadeko house. I wonder what will happen.

Phenomenal art, brilliant screenplay,interesting dialogues, boy i missed this although i just finished Bake literally 20 min. ago lol

The start with HitagixKoyomi was fantastic

This show is awesome,Nadeko! So damn moe!Hachikuji looks cute as well, also we got introduced to one of Araragi's sisters, the screenplay during their talk was just brilliant, now that i've got a hang of the series,i have high expectations for this.

5/5

This was REALLY FREAKING GOOD. Even the fanservice and questionable morals of Araragi felt completely in character...
But that ending... OUCH. That exactly what his friend said... For such a fun episode, that was a really bitter ending note.

yep, the (art) style of this anime is really impressive

Senjougahara, is still a pain in the neck, i'd rather die than keep up with her, i don't even think she's annoying anymore, like uh that's just who she is, but don't go near me, her scenes were still enjoyable to watch though

Hachikuji, haha I love their combination

woah I never would have thought how much Araragi was really affected by Oshino leaving I think I can somehow understand it

i don't have anything to say about the younger sisters

the op is good
the ost is good too matches well with their style

Seemed like a typical start to a monogatari ep, not much transition between this and bake, i'd have thought it was the same show if not for the title.

Still boring like the first season, but slightly better as there seems to be more stuff happening in the episode. I would have given it a 2/5, but the lolicon/pedophile jokes ruined it.

1/5

And finally some Pedorararagi-san and Hachikuji, that part was simply brilliant, The Courage To Accept The Label Of Pervert, proud lolicon that is XD And I know that Hachikuji should wear kiddy white cotton panties, no black semi-transparent that's impossible for her loli image! hrrrrrr! And I expected he did handstand to see her panties XD

Tsundere --> Yandere? I know she likes staples but wasn't that before she was saved by Araragi? How could Senjougahara changed so much? Was there a reason for it? She sounded like some perverted freak in the beginning. Wonder why this kindnapping means was there for.

Tsukihi sure is nice sister, I already like her (and her rolling over the bed :)).

And I love how Koyomi always turns into pervert when he sees Mayoi :D His conversation with Hachikuji was absolutely brilliant and I liked how they reused her previous music theme. This was really her own episode.

Sengoku and Suruga didn't appear yet, and Karen too, so I hope we'll finally see them next time.

Good start I guess. Have to say I liked first season OPs and ED better that current ones.

Extreme love or 298 yen love? Ep 1.

Plot: A mystery is brewing when Senjougahara kidnaps Araragi. Or you know, its just her being kinky. Back in the past, Araragi goes to see Nadeko and has a fun time with Hachikuji.

Character:We finally get some concrete details on the Araragi sisters. Tsukihi seems to have a temper during her conversation with Araragi but carries the image of a refined girl. Karen sounds like martial artist for now.

Senjougahara is still her extreme self and I love it. Rejoice Araragi for you are now experiencing deep love.

Hachikuji made things a bit melancholic at the end with the discussion of her leaving as well but she made up for it with her fun conversation with Araragi. Her words about the supernatural being the backstage was profound and true as well.

Animation/sound: The new OP was nice and the silhouettes were decent.

4/5. Fun and interesting start.

Sengoku part was cool too, Koyomi-oniichan coming to her with Tsukihi, baka, baka, BAKAAAAA!!! lol

They talked about the ED, but there isn't actually one (in mine, anyway)...

That kid is fun, as usual. Good to see her back.. But of course, she can't outmatch my Sengoku.

I finally got to watching Nisemonogatari.
The coloring seems a bit brighter then before... could just be me.
Either way, it looks really nice and pleasing to the eye.
And gotta love the blank scenes.

I'm assuming the being held prisoner by Senjougahara is happening after the events that took place in the majority of the episode. I sincerely hope there's a good reason for this, or Senjougahara will have lost all that precious character development. :O

I honestly disliked this episode and found it boring for the most part, probably because it was mostly focused on characters- which are in my opinion the weakest link of the series. Hope the plot will kick in soon!

Hitagi channeling Rei, along with Koyomi's reaction was just priceless. That ending scene with Mayoi was very sweet, too.

A pretty solid first episode, although I didn't find it quite as memorable as Bakemonogatari's debut. Dialogue for the most part is just as sharp and engaging as I remember. Visuals are still top-notch as well.
