| Lulz at Araragi's facial expressions this episode. |

Belum_Nabum said: Spade said: That one bondage shot looks like it was copied from the first season Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Opening. Loved the episode as always, especially the scene with the real-life hand being slowly corrupted and the sudden happy moment while "cleaning up" the room. NICE FIND! Did not notice such comparison. this LOL nice i was like hmm where have i seen that pic b4 >_< |
| Another nice talky episode, the facial expressions were priceless xD |
 |
| Still extremely formulaic, still far too much dialogue, still static with no action or development, but Hell, why do I love this series? ;) Ok, the direction is very creative and looks way too cool. If you add to that great OP/ED and enjoyable characters, I think you're there. Hmm, well, I don't even care about the 500+ lines of dialogues after all ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| omg that op scene was awesome , extra services hahaha suraga is also likable, and i wont mind her. but it i always araragi helping a girl and so on. i hope they will change it soon. |
     |
| lol she's lesbo.. PERFECT REACTION LMAO Panties.... That lucky bastard... Araragi... |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| He should try and get a 3 way going with senjogahara and mummy arm girl. |
| Another great episode. As other people have mentioned, the lesbian thing was a total surprise, but still, I had to laugh at Araragi's reaction. Though not enough Senjougahara in this episode. :( |
| Fantastic episode, best one so far. |

Tarrasji said: I really loved this episode, awesomeness. And that hand... same thing as in xxxHOLiC season 1 with that one woman. So I kind of knew it D: YES! That too I have noticed was just waiting for someone to notice it too! There was but this one in xxxHolic was more like the original one from William Wymark Jacobs story. |
 |
| Another great episode. I am really impressed how they manage to continue making this interesting even when the actual plot isn't that great to begin with and often rather predictable. That said this episode was really funny with interesting dialogues like always. The lack of Senjougahara wasn't really a problem since that monkey girl is fairly entertaining, too. Still my #1 show from this season. Waiting for the next episode will be hard. BTW, I loved the joke that he was asked again about boy's rumored ability to recognize girls by only seeing their hips. ^^ |

| why does every girl he meets has to want his ass.... |
| I love this arc. Kanbaru is now my favorite lesbo. |

| Haha I knew it, Suruga is a lesbian jealous of Araragi going out with her love. ^^ As always this episode is filled with funny dialogs, I lold at Araragi's facial expressions too. |
| Great episode, filled with a lot of dialogue I couldn't keep up with at times but never a boring moment, this arc is very interesting indeed. |
Oosran said: Reyno said: Suruga is verrrrrrry cute. If she had long hair she'd be cuter than Senjougahara. Just not as cool. Cuter, but not as cool. Huuuh? My face right now: I don't seem to understand your way of thinking my friend : o Oh Shi- .. I wrote something again didn't I? I just can't seem to keep my eyes away from here >.> what show does the picture come from ?? :P |
| (>-.-)> d(>.<)b <(-.-<) |
| Not as much Senjougahara screen time as I would have liked but still a great episode nonetheless. Kanbaru is an interesting character, I loled @ the scene where she offers herself up to be a replacement for Senjougahara. |

Lvhina said: Mmm , getting beat up and than catching a nice upskirt .... i say the situation evens out |
 |
| Fantastic episode :D |
 |
| I just can't wait to see the next episode. Bakemonogatri really rockz =D |
 |
| Senjougahara's service was brilliant, my favourite moment in the episode next to Araragi and Suruga playing in the sea of books. I love the cartoonish expressions used by SHAFT for this series. |
 |
| Both Senjougahara's service and the playing in the sea of books scene made me burst out laughing. Amazing show, look out for 10/10 Oosran said: kie_ said: Not enough Senjougahara in this episode... Quoted for Truth |
Ex14 said: BTW did anyone see the comercial included in gg's release? it looks interesting.... Hmm just remembered this was the one time I did not watch gg's release ;_; Brb checking it out quickly Done. : p Hmm yeah seems quite interesting. Any more info available? Boy am I stupid? Heck the name's as easy as Cencoroll, guess I should've known : D And it came.. yesterday : o Oh well, hope someone finds it interesting enough to sub it quickly. (Why, I'd say gg could go ahead and sub it, since they did after all include its commercial in the episode : D) |

| Were some people really surprised by Kanbaru being a lesbian? I mean Senjogahara even said so in the last episode! >_< What surprised me more so was that she is such a prev! Oh and the whole rainy devil thing too..... Also for some reason I thought Shinobu and the donuts was pretty funny. ^_^ lol Now that I think about it she had a donut box beside her in the first episode didn't she? |

| Great episode.. Needed more Senjougahara but still a great episode! |

| i" paused" a lot in this episode |
mrjiggles said: i" paused" a lot in this episode I pause a lot watching things on the computer period. Partially because I want to see everything, and partially because I have intensely fickle moods that change quickly and I get bored easily, even with anime. I finished the last episode in the matter of a week or so. This I finished in the matter of an hour or two at most. It was very fun and I was a lot more engaged that I was on last episode. Surely because I like Suruga better than Senjougahara. And the energy that she brings to the show. I'm glad that I get at least one more episode of her in this arc. And hopefully it'll me more like this episode and less like the last one, if you know what I mean. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Ahaha xD Funny dialog as usual. Suruga is... interesting. ^_^ |
 |
| Even the naming of Suruga Kanbaru is awesome on it's own. Loved the bondage picture even if I'd seen them several times before in SZS. |
| I thought it was an ok episode. There was something about the first 5 minutes that bothered me. And it seems that the second arc episode is a bit of a weakness for Shaft because I remember thinking the same after Mayoi's second episod. But once Araragi imagined cleaning up Sugura's room, it started to pick up. According to the fangirls in the Aoi Hana thread, "lesbian" is a word that isn't often (if at all) used for characters as identification. So apparently this is the second show this season to do that. Anyways...as everyone else has said, the sd stuff was hilarious. I kind of like Suruga. Of course she is kind of like Senjougahara--she idolized and wanted to be with her...so the lesbian, lack of violence, yet extra flirty nature of her is a fun comparison to Hitagi. I'm sure this isn't how she would act in front of her though. I'm sure she would seem more like any other annoying, obsessive underclassmen. |
| an episode can get very exhausting when you hate a character too much And so I didn't liked this episode - get lost Kanbaru XD the movie preview in the middle of this looked interesting |

| No new OP saddens me. |
| That was amazing! Very, very entertaining. Too bad they broke the whole reason down entirely. I would've liked it to be left with a bit of unclear elements. Loved this episode, Shaft being Shaft is always mind candy. I hope it continues like this. |

shuffleair said: I also want to see whatever was in gg's commercial release. Cencoroll? That's a song on the Bakemonogatari ED album? Just thought I'd confirm it, yep it's on the that single album, and yep it's called Cencoroll, and yep it came out.. yesterday. And yup, it's on my plan to watch list : D |

kerlyenai said: liked her even less when I thought she was willingly attacking Araragi out of jealousy That was actually one of the few times I kind of liked her : D Oh well anyway, Senjougahara for President ! |

| That was hilarious. Lucky Araragi getting free service. |
saxophone said: That was hilarious. Lucky Araragi getting free service. I know what you mean, though Araragi seemed pretty interested whether Suruga had panties on or not lol. |
     |
| I almost laughed pretty hard at Araragi's reaction when Suruga said she was a lesbian. The whole panties discussion between both was pretty funny too. Regardless, was also a bit surprised that she had a demon arm instead of a monkey's paw as predicted earlier. Should be interesting to see how Oshino's going to deal with that. |
| Great ep, I was kinda annoyed with Suruga at first because I thought she was trying to steal Araragi from Senjougahara, but now I know that that was not the case ;) |
