Tsuki-chan offers Araragi her first kiss. Araragi pushes her away. Oh well, he'll get it later on (in Nisemonogatari).


Araragi you lucky bastard.


But how it turns into this.

And then there's the stump o_o

I don't normally watch things raw since I, after all, don't speak japanese. I have managed to watch and understand some anime's quite well without subtitles before, but this is honestly my hardest challenge till now since I more or less couldn't follow any of the conversations this episode. But even then I managed to really enjoy the episode just because of it's fascinating postures and stunning overall looks.
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me

My jaw is on the floor. Like, I couldn't breathe for a moment or so after this was over. So deep. So good. Unbelieveable. My eyes were locked to the screen the entire time. You could count the amount of times I blinked during the episode on your fingers.

lol XD

But really lucky bastard. Wasted his chance with his sisters though hehe XD

Koyomi purrrverted as usual licking Tsubasa's desk ROFL

The conversation with Oshino was nice...but the conversation with Neko was the best.

She's freakin hot!!!!!!!

Really loved how they ended the episode..."My feeling have far surpassed love. Since I feel that I want to die for her"

Perfect last sentence. Can't wait for nxt ep. Should probably be the best and longest one :)

KAWARIMI NO JUTSU!

I had a lot of trouble following the dialogue this episode Dx. So basically, Neko is just venting for Hanekawa and intends to recede afterwards. But when her stress builds up again, then it resurfaces. Now that I recall back to Bakemonogatari, that's what happened right?

What is energy drain anyway? It just makes the victim lethargic for a while? But they talk about it with such high regard; that its seemingly harmful, so I find weird that he'd acquiesce to her "pranks" on the town so easily.

But alas,

I'm feeling even worse for Hanekawa now knowing that Araragi actually liked her so much but ended up basically ditching her for Gahara-san.

That is some really intense background... Even with all that fanservice, the plot is there, and I didn't know it was that bad (at least compared to Bakemonogatari).

I love this mini-series more than I do with Nise. >.>:

Well the energy drain that we've seen until now is quite harmless yes. However Hanekawa herself says she can't control how much she drains and since it's even considered dangerous for vampires if large amounts are drained. Well you can only imagine what will happen to humans.

Anyway as for the episode, it was great can't wait for the last one.

The way they sub black Hanekawa's dialogue is kinda annoying and hard to read . I mean common you don't need this lame words like "fur, purrucisely, appurance, purranks" all you need to do is just add "nya" at the end then your perfectly fine.

I'm enjoying this immensely. Hanekawa is just hawt as hell and the dialogue is as good as ever.

Having said that, it's really surprising how much Araragi was into Hanekawa before Senjougahara came in and snooped him up for herself. I mean, it's always been clear that he thinks she's wonderful and the hotttest woman around, but I never though that it was actual love. If someone happened to watch Neko before Bake, it'd almost feel like NTR the way Hanekawa sees Araragi taken away from her. Goes to show how important it is to speak up and express your feelings in a timely fashion.

I for some reason cannot stand Hanekawa, nothing against the people who like her. Why does Araragi say he 'loves' her so much yet he goes out with Hitagi and falls for her. I don't understand. I personally like Hitagi. I just don't understand Araragi's feelings.

He does say that he likes her, but he also says that the feelings he has for her aren't feeling which you can call " love ". Maybe it's just the boobs, idk.

Amen. I mean this is what Hanekawa was reduced to after Senjougahara showed up:

You should read Kizumonogatari. Araragi was depressed and lonely as fuck before he met Hanekawa, and she gave him hope. He idolized her and it's not hard to understand that the first girl who payed attention to him has a special place in his heart.

This reminded me of the scene in Nisemono where Koyomi says he loves Hanekawa but is going out with Hitagi.

I guess he just loves her as a friend or like a sibling?
I really hope so. Not because she's irritating or being so over-hyped that, her + a weak oddity > Vampire. Its because Koyomi and Hitagi's relationship in Bakemono was what really got me into this series.

Araragi has a complicated relationship with each of the women in his life - with each of them he has different types of feelings. As somebody else mentioned, he states this somewhere, I just don't recall where.

Was really more enticing than Hanekawa precisely because Tsuhiki is less demonic looking than the Cursed Cat is. Despite having MOE features of the most highest caliper of whom the following,

Is totally the best of Hanekawa in this episode and for that matter in the whole series in terms of MOE/Appealing to the male audience.
