I wonder if there are any members in the Araragi family that don't have behave weird.
I mean they all three siblings have a unique way of behaving just makes me wonder what there parents are like.

Karen and Kanbaru seem like a nice combination together and they must have a pretty amazing conversation it's a shame we didn't get to see it since it would have been interesting.
What was also pretty amazing was the way Karen cut her hair of like it was nothing normally girls care allot about there hair cutting it of without a second thought is almost outrageous.
And why did she keep that hair if it was so annoying to her?

Then there is the two new girls who seems pretty strange but they where ably to see the paranormal event's that happened the Araragi and his sister and also that of the snail girl.
I know immediately when the big girl asked for the cram school that it was the one where Oshino always was and i think she is related in a way to him.
Hope to learn more about her next episode.

On wiki says that araragis parents are cops also there is some info on those two new girls but i don't want to spoil that for you because obviously you don't read the novels :)

That dialect and I knew already that it was Shiraishi Ryoko. I'm good.
But I had a hard time identifying the second girl. And it was...Hayami Saori?
Darn.

On the subject of long hair short hair. I'd say I'm in the middle.
I approve of Tsukihi and Hanekawa's short hair and I approve of Kanbaru's longer hair as opposed to their hairstyles in Bakemono.
Karen's, I'm not sure yet.
I will be devastated though when Senjougahara cuts hers.

So, two episodes left and the focus of the arc isn't even appearing?
And why no Senjougahara?

Karen is 175cm, Koyomi is +170cm.

Karen is tall.

Tsukihi can be considered as average...


Actually, the official heights are 170 cm for Karen (5'7) , 165 cm for Koyomi (5'5), and 156 (5'1) cm for Tsukihi. It can be found at the ending PV of Bakemonogatari ep 2 BD edition, about 5 seconds in. It also shows the length of their ahoge about 11 seconds in.

DAMMIT, NO SENJOUGAHARA AGAIN!!!

lots of funny stuff this episode xDDD

kanbaru being the usual pervert, karen FAILING at rock paper scissors, and koyomi being a lolicon again on mayoi. still wish tsukihi got more time for her story though

and the two new girls are hella creepy and ominous. hope there's more actual story in the final 2 eps

Huh? No Tsukihi at all? Now, that sucks. Although I have to admit that I enjoy the parts when Karen-chan and Araragi interact a lot, and the two new characters look interesting, but the best part of the episode has to be when Araragi says: "But anyway, Hachikuji, I'm dating Senjougahara and I love Hanekawa, but I plan to marry you", while trying to kiss her, way to go you gigolo!

Not much happened this episode plotwise besides the 2 new characters (seriously creepy BTW). And yeah, Karen Araragi is turning out to be a revelation. I;d love to hear what kind of weird crap Kanbaru is going to teach her...

Araragi proposing to Hachikuji was priceless. I think though the translation should have been " I'm dating Senjougahara, I LIKE Hanekawa..." instead of "I love Hanekawa". I'm pretty sure he says 'daisuki' and in this context it makes more sense.
Ahh that makes more sense. I was starting to think hes a horrible boyfriend.

Well Koyomi, I don't blame ya for wanting to take Karen's virginity but proposing to Mayoi, that's behind creepy.



He said he would rather take it then let Kanbaru take it; bit differently; also like i mentioned before do you really take his conversations with Hachikuji seriously? The ratio for him actually taking talks seriously in this show ain't that high, and that ratio decreases even more when he is talking to people like Hachikuji or Kanbaru.


Doesnt have to be creepy. Technically ive seen this very common even in western media where an adult will say to a kid they want to marry them as a way of flattering them, it doesnt mean they deffinately want to do it at all.

Apart from the first volume of Bakemonogatarii didn't read the novels.
But from the way you are saying it you didn't know about there parent's as well.
Still it should be pretty interesting to see them at one point Senjougahara's father was also a pretty interesting guy after all.

Last week's ep was very hard to top, but this ep actually came close. At this point, I have to say that Nisemonogatari is probably my favourite series of this season. Many other series have gone downhill, while this has continued to keep my interest.

That aside, Araragi-Hachikuji interaction is still amusing as ever. And Shinobu's hand. XD

So two new characters appeared. They're giving off so much supernatural vibes.

Asdebaeabiaureuarbhjar stop it with the cutting of hairs. Damn it why'd you have to do that Karen? She looked much more better with her ponytail. This came as a total surprise, wow... Araragi is like on a roll with getting everyone to have short hair. Senjougahara is up next with short hair I think. Sure wish she would show up for an ep though. Oh well everyone is still awesome and cute with short hair I guess.

Tbh this is Tsukihi's arc right... she probably appeared a total of like 4 minutes since it began and no appearance at all in this episode. I guess the two newcomers has something to do with it though. First thing that Yotsugi reminded me of was Mikoto.

Gah! Karen cut her beautiful long hair!! Noooo... ;_;

Ahem. In all seriousness, it's quite surprising that again, the character supposedly in the spotlight is missing from her own arc. Like Karen before her during Karen Bee, Tsukihi was markedly missing for Tsukihi Phoenix. No Tsukihi at all in this episode? Why?

I like how Shinobu trolled Koyomi this episode. Grabbing his foot to cause him to trip, then sinking back into his shadow. Hitagi could probably almost kill him, or at least gouge an eye out if she were there to witness all the kinds of flirting he's been doing lately. Not to mention his self-incriminating statement of unfaithfulness to Mayoi back there...

Quite the interesting new characters we have here. And it seems they know the other characters' respective supernatural associations.

Is it just me, or is there a lack of consistency? In the last episode of Bake, he says "I am in love with Senjougahara." It's just weird.


i think he was referring to the harem chain discussion with kanbaru few episodes earlier, i think that was episode 2 or 3. not sure.
