| I'm still trying to get through as well. Maybe I'll give it a rest before trying again. EDIT: Argh, what a cliffhanger. AS expected I'm still not ready for watching SHAFT shows raw. I like the slight change to the ED. I hope there wasn't anything after that because I screwed up while watching the ED. Orz |

| amg! |
 |
| does that talk around seiyu joke indicates a sequel? anyway, i like mayoi as always; dont really get those jokes between hanekawa and araragi so the middle part feels pretty dull, but towards the end it gets pretty interesting again. next ~ |
     |
| Finally. Araragi abusing Hachikuji was best part. Personally i don't like Hanekawa, but as a cat she's definitely hot, perhaps it's the glasses. |
| awesome backflip |
vinesage said: Yeah, too cute! ~anyway, i like mayoi as always; I actually expected them to finish this arc by now, since I heard some rumors they might include the vampire part. But if so, they will only have one episode left for it? That's too bad.. Anyways, Hitagi's expression looked somewhat softer, almost sweet now. Probably because of her succesful date, heh. |
| Oh God, the beginning xD Mayoi is the best. 'Glad I could help you out.' How are we supposed to interpret this? xD '- My voice actress is excellent. - Voice actress? What is this, an anime?!' - breaking the fourth wall, great x3 I lvoe this. Aw, the way he ran away on the bike, yelling 'yeah' was cute. 'Hanekawa-sama, let me take your shirt.' -dies- Araragi you perv. |

| lmao it's back and lulz entertaining episode >_< lolz@ the beginning |
| LOL, the terminator mode was so funny, and Araragi really went overboard this time XD And of course, the Senjougahara's usual "Ah so" :) lol @ "Araragi, there's something we need to talk about after the bike ride" XD She said it so ominously :D But in the end they didn't talk :P He got lucky! Yaay! And wow, 'cat power' in the end *-* |
OJustSumGuy said: This episode was pretty much the base for the next two episodes. The only part I didn't like was the 4-5 minute back and forth of Japanese puns between Agargi and the prez. yeah that got kind of boring for a while, but other than that excellent episode |
 |
| yeha finally ep 13. not so much senjougahara but still pretty good. loled at the beginning with the loli groping ^^ haha that lucky bastard xD |
     |
| Great! It's back, Hanekawa in pyjamas ish hawt! White haired Hanekawa is daring, damn! <3 |
 When the rosario on her chest is taken off, Moka's vampire inner self awakes.  |

Oh god,I laughed XD |
| senjogahara breaking the fourth wall hilarious! hanekawa brings me and the anime down shes like the third toe between senjogahara and araragi and the anime lol araragi's a pedo |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| Mayori made my day. |
| Well next ep seems to be interesting. This one was pretty good too, but the discussion between the prez and Araragi went over my head a few times. Wonder how long it will take for the next release.. |
| This must be this years most OVERRATED anime.. Gets real boring really fast, though I have not grown any particular interested in this series or liked the way it is done since episode 1. Must resist the urge to drop it and see the last two episodes though^^ |
| Well, i suppose this anime really isn't for everybody... Since the plot is quite dull for an anime about supernatural beings, but it was intended to be that way so the focus of the anime would shift away from the supernatural events and closely examine the characters and explore how each character deals with the oddities. Lots of the jokes, whether it was funny or not, all seemed pretty original (especially when all the jokes tie in so well with the characters) and even if some of the jokes were kinda hit and miss, i still love Bakemonogatari for trying to be different from the other animes. People may also have had high expectations for it before release, since it's a Shaft anime but can it rele be considered overrated when they did such a good job (in terms of character developments, anime design and animation)? All in all... I don't think it's overrated at all. |

Imo i don't understand all the hype around it either, there are shows way better and there are shows way worse, but what i don't really get it's those haters who will allways hate some show no matter what... or just because it's popular... about the episode, it was rather enjoyable, with hachikuji and all, but the part with hanekawa feels a little odd, because herself was strange with al that speech and trying to avoid the subject... |

| whoa didnt realise this would be out. thats made me happy |
| How i love cliffhanger XD |
 |
| *sigh of relief* I finally get my Bakemonogatari fix after nearly a month... I'm quite pleased with this episode (lol at the beginning XD), but I'm just begging for more! ;A; I NEED EPISODE 14 NOOOOOOW. Also, does anyone know when the rest of Koyomi Vamp will get translated? I really want to read it, it's pretty cool so far. |
| about time, it only took a month it was somewhat different from usual, especially araragi's actions, but i liked it and some scenes were very good :] |
 |
| haha araragi pedofile XD |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Yes Its Back And What A Great episode |
 |
| Was the BGM during the BD commercial for Tsubasa Cat going to be the new OP? |
| Groping a Loli made me LOL. Also I have the sudden urge to want to wear neko pajamas in a hat. I loved Hanekawa's hair down she was really cute. |
   |
| Motherfucking cliffhanger. |
 |
| fantastic episode. Took forever for us to get it and not enough senjougahara, but I'll deal. Looking forward to the last two episodes! |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |
| Ararararagi is one crazy lolicon. He totally molested Mayoi for a good while there. Thank god there was some Hitagi screentime but more Hitagi would've been awesome. A whack on the head and Hanekawa switches to the crazy catgirl that she is. How lulz. |
 |
| haha ... suddenly talking about baseball at the end |
     |
| One of the best shows I've ever seen. I'm glad that since the end of the TV airing it has not slowed down and continues being awesome. In the ads in the end I heard a little glimpse of Horie Yui's OP. Apparently it's called sugar sweet nightmare and it sounds great and I can't wait to see it! Hopefully next episode. |
| Few changes from what I see. All I can think of is why is there so many damn ads. The Medium quality looks strange and some subs never show up. Although I cant expect it to be perfect but it just makes me wonder. |
| Wish I could hug a loli like Koyomi handled Mayoi. Then again, I wouldn't want her to bite my fingers off either. Anyway, nice to see some of the 'older' characters make their return again, been a long time since I saw Mayoi. Hitagi's fourth wall breaking was funny. And speaking of Hitagi, did they change her hair color or was that because of the quality overall? Now I'm curious as to how Hanekawa's problem will be solved. |

| Nice Episode, finally we get too see bake again ^^ Well it was kinda slow, but the interaction between mayoi and aragi is funny as always XD and Hitagi! <3 great to see her, but not for long =/ cant wait for next episode, i prefer hanekawa in cat fprm for some reason. |

AO968 said: Its the lighting. You'll notice that most of the characters in this episode have slightly different hair tones because of the time of day. Hayate no Gotoku is another example where Hayate's hair looks green during sunset/sunrise.Wish I could hug a loli like Koyomi handled Mayoi.

|
| A nice return. Hanekawa in PJs is HOT! Hachikuji getting rape in the beginning was lol Senjougahara is awesome as always Cat girl is back And on to a important note I wonder if Hanekawa does like Araragi and is stressing about his relationship with the other girls? We'll soon find out. |

In fact I'd say it's more annoying than good most of the time. |
Gavotte said: Actually, I think I heard somewhere that eps 14 and 15 are being included on one of the DVDs, so it might be a WHILE till we can get to them. If that's not true, someone please correct me. Also, what makes this show good isn't the story, it's the characters and the interaction between them. People are looking for the wrong things if they're thinking that the show's not worth watching because there isn't a coherent plot. All in all, wish I could get my hands on the light novels... I was under the impression that the last three episodes will be ONA's. It certainly seems by how ANN is talking about the delays that occurred due to encoding that this series is basically still in the production process. Basically, I think that eps. 14 and 15 will probably also be released online when they are finished. But the quality in resolution and animation, like in this episode, will also probably be lacking until they release it on dvd/BD or release another high resolution version online. If anyone else has a direct link to more info please share. |
| Artificial, boring, stupid harem, pointless-and-annoying dialogues, as always. The only thing I enjoy in this shit is the ED song. |
  |
| It's kind of strange that people think that it's boring and annoying but still watch 13 episodes of it. Masochism is a weird thing. |
| Yeah, it started interesting, so I gave it a try... so whatever, decide to finish it (just 15 episodes) so I can say that I hate it with reasons lol. I admit it's rare, I use to drop quickly, but I had hopes on it, since it is so popular. |
