Amusing as always. Was not expecting half of the episode to be spent in the bath... long hair is long.

The times they are a changing. EP 1.

Plot: So far, Araragi's mind is weighing heavily on the future. On his, his sisters, maybe the Oddities. But that doesn't mean that he can't spare the time to prepare and take a bath with his cute Fire Sisters. But then the whomper comes up: He has no shadow. As if he was a true Vampire.

Character: Koyomi's narration paints the theme and issue over this season. Growing pains. Alot crap has gone on over the half a year and the successes, trials, errors, mistakes of it all would be something that Koyomi would place on his shoulders. This new thing is another pile up but in this case, it is all his own problems. Can't wait to see how he handles it.

Tsukihi once more is the more analytical Fire Sister. However I wonder how much she knows concerning Nadeko. When Koyomi never visits Nadeko due to the Medusa Arc, I wonder how she'll react. And the theme of time/growing pains hits her too since both literally and figuratively, she's gonna get left behind.

Animation/sound: I love Yotsugi. I didn't believe they could make better OPs beside Platinum Disco, Muso Express, and Staple Staple, but dear god Orange Mint is wonderful.

And delicious Tsukhi is always welcome. Thank you Shaft!

4/5. Pretty good start. How will you grow, Koyomi Araragi?

Man I want to lick that foot and wash that body so hard, to fondle these yummy soft and bouncy boobies... Bath scene is my favorite after (or before idk) toothbrushing scene. I envy him so much, lucky bastard. Be my imouto Tsukihi-chwan :'(
Awesome episode. I feel that Tsuki(hi)monogatari is my fav the same as Nisemonogatari, wincest ftw!

I have a feeling that people complaining about fanservice have very selective memory and/or views, cause Bake had a lot of ecchi fanservice (Neko Hanekawa or Nadeko arcs for example and half naked lingerie Gahara herself, and S2 has the same beginning with bathing fanservice with lesbo Senjougahara and Hanekawa).
I guess Gahara fans don't mind half-naked Gahara lingerie fanservice or tsundere service but complain about imoutos, this is hypocrite point of view and does not deny the fact that entire Monogatari series is based on fanservice, not only ecchi, there is also loli stuff, lingerie, boobs, perverted plot in general. When text based explanations of supernatural become too boring Nisio brings a bit of fanservice. Of course text based explanations can serve as a fanservice for text based explanations fans too.

or like in Owarimonogatari



but of course Nise is fanservice

and Bake is godly anime

No kidding... Koyomi just realized he's a vampire after all those event during past year, yay!
Here, captain obvious have this rock! (but it's quite surely an irony, for him to be aberration too. I bet he relied on his powers too much)

Intro with Yotsugi was nice.. although surprise, surprise she didn't appeared in this episode after than, something that's almost standard in Monogatari. I wonder if he can relate with her now, you know, she's dead and he's almost dead.

I bet his next stop will be Shinobu... if she is around though. Their connection and her restraints may be weakened now.

And the bathing scene... just classic! We didn't learn much (other than Nadeko is fine) but the fanservice was just golden.

Felt exactly the same thing. This totally grossed me out.

I know people say that there's tons of fanservice in other seasons, and that's true, but i'm not complaining of the fanservice per se, doing so will be ridiculous at this point -i mean, let's remember this entire series is heavily based on it-, so as i was saying, i'm not complaining about the fanservice per se but on the type of fanservice. I think they are invisible yet tangible limits to what's enjoyable and what is simply sick, this bath scene case belongs to the latter category.

Yeah, some people can laugh at it and actually enjoy it, just 'cause it's about the so loved characters that we know so much and care so much about, but let's try to imagine for a second this being applied in a real-life experience, anyone who says they wouldn't be grossed out if they showed a brother and his younger sister bathing together and touching each other is simply being a fake, or has a very specific type of sexual preference/desire.

Besides, whoever tries to come up with the argument this is a cultural taboo, it's not intrinsically right or wrong, it's just a shared social norm or conception that it's totally maleable it's also being an hypocrite and not even applying the notion correctly.

It's true that maybe in some societies, in a certain specific time something like this it's completely natural, but that's not the case of our society and that's what ultimately matters, not a series of what if and hypothesis that are not viable or actually take place in a determined culture at a determined point of time. It's a fact that this is a taboo shared by the modern western society and we are part of it, and as such it's not unnatural to be grossed out by it. Whether it is on an anime, a movie or a series. Just because the means on which it is shown it's the 'oh so cute and lovely anime' it's less gross that two real-life actors portraying the same exact scene.

Yaaaay! An anime series about Ononoki. Gaaaaah. I love that little kid so much.

Nice seeing Tsukihi and Karen Araragi again. I missed them two so much.

What's up with Araragi doing the hand action in Tsukihi's Nisemonogatari OP? Lmfao. That's so cute. Stop! Stop! Stop! Hahaha. And wow Tsukihi's hair is so freaking loooooong. Her hair used to be so short in Nisemonogatari. I prefer her having a short hair. Bring it back. Hahaha.

Idk what to feel with the entire bath scene of two Araragis: Tsukihi and Araragi. I'm wheezing throughout. Omfg my poor tummy from laughing so hard.

Oh and Nadeko is still alive? Forfucksake!

So, Araragi has no idea that he has no reflection in the mirror? Is this like his first time facing the mirror after the incident with Shinobu? Haha. So, he's still a full vampire? I mean, we all know you're a vampire because of Shinobu. Why was he shocked? I don't understand.

Great introduction to Ononoki, the only thing I did not like was the fact that the Nisemonogatari style fan service returned.

Damn, I felt that fingernail of Koyomi breaking.
This would be, I daresay, bad for my reputation as a General-feldmarschall but I'll still say it 'cause its worth it, TSUKIHI was just YUMMY, she's more than hella cute, her hair fits her moe face this is jut good.

Well this was a good way to start this series.

Good ecchi scene love how they did more screen time on Tsukihi it's been a long time since I've seen her and now she's back I guess that's great.

This arc has gone far more interesting than I thought, so Koyomi is now like a pure vampire just a hunch it's probably the reason on why he doesn't show up on the mirror(^^)

Loved Koyomi's monologue in the cold open, felt sorta sad while listening to it for some reason.

Yo that cliffhanger was something. So he's jsut a full vampire since he can't see his reflection right? Really intrigued as to how this involves Yotsugi.

Also, Koyomi doing the Platinum Disco dance was great.

Damn, I love the style of this arc, the new monologue flashes are pretty fresh. Great episode and start to this arc, lmao why does any arc that involves the fire sisters heavily have so much fanservice, not that I'm complaining of course ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I did miss the fire sisters though, always love either Tsukihi or Karen's interactions with Araragi. We got brocons and a siscon lmao.

I will forever cherish Araragi doing the platinum disco dance lmao. After the intense and masterpiece of a second season, it's nice to have a little breather like this, but judging from that intro I think this is going to be an important character arc for Araragi.

Also fucking love that OP.

I liked the Power Ranger reference with Yotsugi and the Astro boy reference lol. Araragi Platinum Disco dancing gif-


I guess almost all of the scenes with the Fire Sisters would have some form of fanservice. It's time for another almost incest scene but this time it's Tsukihi chan!

So Araragi can't see his reflection in the mirror-which means that he's turning into a vampire and that's because he relied way too much on his powers.

Kanbaru, Tsukihi and Karen get kidnapped by Tadatsu Teori, a stray specialist in non-living immortal objects. And even he's got the same curse as Yozuru;He can't touch the ground. He dies in less than a second by Yotsugu's Unlimited Rulebook. Some characters just die too quickly- _ -

And of course the scene with Senjougahara was wholesome as hell(*´ω`*)

Bro so I open up my favourite anime streaming site to the first episode of Tsukimonogatari and I immediately go "WTF" @ a 1 HOUR AND 38 MINUTE EPISODE- but turns out it was just all the episodes crammed into one for some reason.

Looks like it's Araragi's turn to deal with an issue of his own this time, after continuously helping others.

Also here are Araragi's abs. Masterpiece episode
