I seriously don't get why this show caused such an uproar. I was bored throughout the entire conversation and I briefly laughed when Araragi pointed out how amazing it was that he beat the middle schooler.

Ugh whoever did the subbing(w/ the small letters) really needs to do it right. The subs were waaay off, they pretty much made up new sentences for most of the parts, like they were guessing or something. Gah, that sorta thing pisses me off.

Holy shit, I loved this episode. I also loved those random funny face expressions they made while talking.

I'm starting to love Senjogahara after this episode. She's just a tease, which reminds me of Horo, lol. Their long conversation was not boring at all, it was kinda interesting, and funny at the same time.

Also, wow. I loved this new snail girl. She and her voice and both damn cute. Aaaah, moe.

I really didn't expect to like this anime so much, but I did.

The fight was amusing and the dialogue wasn't boring at all as some say.

Great episode, the long dialogue is great, it shows us the female characters's personnality + some development between the two of them, it reminded me of first episode of Arakawa Under The Bridge. Lol at the Dragon Ball reference and that fight with the little girl is so hilarious.

I find it hard to like any of the characters except for Araragi.

The dialogue kinda reminds me of Spice and Wolf. Thick innuendo, hard to follow conversations and slight teasing.

The difference in subs seems huge. I saw some screenies, and mine said completely different things [Well similar, but very different wording]. I wonder if that affects how people like the ep lol.

But yea, decent episode =]

So far, I'm not impressed. The dialogues were awkward and not as smart nor as witty as some people make them out to be; they only made the two main characters unnaturally sounding and like they were trying so hard to sound like know-it-all smartasses. What Kyon (Haruhi) or Toma (To Aru Majutsu no Index) were saying most of the time were good examples of smart and witty dialogues without sounding unnatural or coming off as pretentious.

The visual style and camera angles were fun at the start, kind of reminded me of Evangelion and Utena. It seemed the director was aiming for something artistic with a bit of mind-f*ck effect, but once I realized they were not used to foreshadow or emphasize on things, and sometimes exaggerated insignificat scenes with over-the-top sound effects, I stopped to care.

The concept and the visuals still interest me to some extent, though, so I'll continue watching, seeing if the latter episodes will redeem this rather unimpressive start.

I'm sorry but is that your conception of intelligent dialog? Well, then I'm a pretty dumb person. I didn't think the dialog was hard to understand or anything like that but I doubt anyone in real life would have a conversation like that. It just sounded too artificially for my taste. They are trying too hard to make the dialog look witty, the only likable character so far for me is Araragi and it was just plain boring. I wouldn't have been able to keep up with this if it hadn't been for how ridiculous everything sounded. If I were Araragi, I'd have totally told Senjougahara to get lost after the first 2 min of the conversation.

I thought of this episode as a filler although it did introduce a new character at the end. I laughed at how Hitagi dissed Koyomi saying how only a crazed late bloomer virgin like herself would talk to a virgin like Koyomi.

Hats off to Koyomi for doing what I wouldn't have been able to do - denying her being his girlfriend.

Thought shed be less of a crazy tsundere chick by now but it's still radiating off her LOL

Finally the show's starting to make sense to me. As I said before, I had the distinct impression that Bakemonogatari uses more the audio card to lure the audience, this show is starting to show its brilliance. I most say I love Senjougahara, lovely character, that sharp tongue of hers is awesome!

i can't believe he actually beat up that girl, lol. atleast this show does somthing hardly any other show does.
i just hope the other girl stops insulting him like that.
Murbella said:
I REALLY hope that every episode doesn't consist of Hitagi insulting Koyomi over and over for 15 minutes.

It was funny the first time, but having nearly the exact same situation played out again is kind of hard to justify. Only difference was she was a sliver softer on him and seemed to like him in her own dominating way (a shifty way to suggest she should be his girlfriend seemingly). I had thought she became much nicer at the end of the last episode, but i guess her old personality came back right away.

I found the first two episodes quite good, but this one is definitely losing steam. Hopefully it is the exception, rather than the rule.

pretty much this. I didn't find this episode boring at all either probably because I loved their "chemistry".
