Ahaha this is a wondrous show. I am loving these "conversations" between Araragi and Senjougahara.

Also, I fucking lol'd so hard at Araragi boasting about beating an elementary school girl

Not exactly my type of episode. But, it did suffice. I was hoping for a lot more progression, oh well. Looking forward to the next!

I'm not a huge fan of mass amount of talking but I guess that's what this Anime is about so its fine. Surprisingly though, I actually enjoyed a majority of this episode so that's pretty good! I thought it was pretty funny. :)

strange show - so much subliminal stuff going on i can't quite grasp; like trying to grab a straw in a tornado - can't even decide if i like this show, but at any rate, i have to keep watching, if only to unravel the mystery of how i feel about it...............

So the romance kicks in, it was pretty good! Still need to get used to Shaft way of designing though.

Shinigami eyes lololol. I think I remember "Hachikuji" from back when I was interested in name etymology. Hachikuji skips 7 and goes straight to 8 and 9. 7 is considered an unlucky number in Asian countries, so the name "skips" bad luck. I thought it was very pretty for a while. :) Completely forgot about it until this episode, though.

That episode was more romance than interesting paranomal nonsense. I hope more freaky stuff happens soon.<3 (Besides Araragi beating up elementary girls?)

The Araragi and Senjougahara banter was great stuff. Also, the maniacal laughter after beating up the grade-school girl was hilarious.

So, I guess being touched, or whatever, by one of these gods automatically makes you an awesome fighter?
I mean Araragi, Senjougahara, and Mayoi are all great cqc fighters.

Everyone in this discussion is talking about how he beat up an elementary school kid, but I think he knew, at least subconsciously, that she is like him and Senjougahara. And, that's why he was so adamant to help her, and why he was quick to hit her. Though, I can't really explain why he broke out the maniacal laugh afterwards...

Never thought an episode entirely in a park, in the same spot for most of it, could be so entertaining!
The semantics between Araragi and Senjougahara are pure win! I could listen to them clash all day!

And, that had to be the best female confession ever!!!!

Urahara Out!!

Got to say that for me, it was 3 times better than the first two episodes, I like long conversations without any action.
Also, I'm getting used to Hitagi being bitchy to Araragi - it doesn't bother me as it did in the second episode (especially that scene in her apartament). I started to like her.

What an incredibly boring episode
I cant believe I wasted 26 minutes watching 2 very uninteresting characters talk about life

Shaft is also retarded
The loli is really annoying

If this doesnt become watchable after episode 4 Im dropping

Exactly. Too much talking, no matter how interesting the conversation was. Sometimes I was just wanted them to move on and get some more supernatural stuff going.


This hope this seires don't keep on talking or this will be a problem.

A bit too much talking, but it was funny at least.
I'm not sure how I felt about Senjougahara being a bitch with such a nice guy like Araragi. It was both kind of funny and annoying at the same time.
Oh, and I liked the Dragon Ball reference.

The writing to this series is excellent. A 'bottle' episode that only expands on the relationship of 2 out of the 5 characters introduced so far. Brilliant, I like where it's going. Haha, in retrospect, nothing really happened in this episode. But there was no direction setup from the start, and it's intriguing as fuck, so what's to complain about?

As long as the dialogue is great, the action or supernatural stuff can take a backseat. Dialogue is awesome, this anime is pretty refreshing.

Didn't expect them to stay at the park... the whole episode. It wasn't as good as the first two but the dialogue was alright. I guess it just felt like they went a bit overboard with it, that's all. Lol'd when he beat up the elementary school kid.

It seems my expectations were correct. This was really a huge improvement over the first two episodes for me. The art style wasn't as creepy and it was actually pretty interesting. Also, the judo throw part was awesome, I laughed so hard. Also, the opening was cute.

Dude, what is this show? The first two episodes were tense as shish and then this one was just straight-up talk and comedy. I have no idea what I should be expecting.

I just love it when older guy characters interact with those snobby, trying-too-hard grade-school girls. It always ends up cute/funny.

Also, do vampires have good eyesight?

The erratic conversation mixed with random kanji keeps the pacing of what is a totally uninteresting episode consisting of sitting on a bench for 3/4 slightly interesting and intriguing. What are we, 25% through the season and I'm not sure what I think of it but certainly not two thumbs up.
Such junk...

I wasn't ready for that otaku OP... xD

I liked what Aragami said about incest : ''Only people who don't have sisters fantasize about sisters''. That's so true :P

God, Hitagi is hot...

The fight and the way he desribed his pride after that was really funny.

Weird story for now. I don't know where this is going, pretty much like the entire anime.

I like these long conversations.
And even though it's mostly a bunch of mumbo jumbo I did spot a meanigful quote here:
"Liking little sisters is a fantasy of guys who don't have any." So true.. If only these creepy incest loving otaku with no sisters knew how creepy and repulsive they are.
