| The only thing it was missing was a kiss after Senjougahara grabbed his hand at the end.. |
 |
| "I love you." I really didn't expect that. lol Great episode atleast it's not as boring as the previous episodes. |

negative1111 said: Oh yes because we really don't want to much dialogues in the anime. And you've seen two series by shaft right?I dont get why so many likes shaft. Their works consist of low budget animating style (like just showing pictures and adding hell of alot conversation to it, or going into chibi mode every 5 second (maria holic)). |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Sigh, as much as I want the loli-centric episode to be a successful and popular one, this episode is undoubtedly overrated. It's a good episode, people, yes it is. But it's not much better than the last one. I really can't relate to all this "omg I was considering dropping but then this episode came around!!!". What? What's so much more fun about this episode in comparison to the last ones? Do you NEED drama in order to have fun? |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
formosan said: No, as Araragi said, she didn't want to go back home for some reason. Probably family issues.So, wait, I need a smart person to explain something to me. In this episode we found out that normal people can't see the ghost. However, (in Ep 4) the class rep came by and acted as if she could see and touch the ghost. In fact, at 15:25 of Episode 4, class rep brought up the subject of the little girl, so she wasn't following clues in conversation. What is class rep's special ability? Is she magical? Is she psychic? Does her hyper-intelligence allow her to sense ghosts? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| @ukonkivi My reason for liking this episode more than last week's was because we got startlingly early relationship development between Araragi and Senjougahara, and a bit of individual development on both of their parts. Then the drama was good and not contrived, so why wouldn't someone like this episode more than last week which was mostly set up for this and a rehash of a lot of the conversational elements in the first three? |
formosan said: MaxCrazy7 said: I don't know if it is because I am a female there is no way I would go out with Senjougahara. For every nice word she put out she said ten bad ones. I actually dated a girl who was a little bit like that in real life.The difference is she never actually pulled a knife on anyone, or stapled people. Senjougahara initially acted hostile (or tsun) and then very inviting (or dere) and then went back to hostile and then went back to inviting. I think there were about four cycles before she finally confessed. Now we have to see how her behavior develops. I dated a girl who went from inviting to contemptuous to inviting to demanding to inviting to threatening to inviting to tantrum-throwing to inviting. . |

| You people are hilarious. |
| it was a totally awesome ep. more senjogahara love<3 but why could hanegawa see mayoi... i think she will definetly plays a important role. |
     |
asdf1248 said: "Omedetou gozaimasu" XD Haha, that part <3 Loved this episode, Senjougahara is just so cool. :3 |
formosan said: "even"...lol.....This seems to suggest that such behavior would be unacceptable even in Japan.  |
     |
| Senjougahara made my day. |
 |
| i never get tired of araragi's remarks about himself. amazing personalities each character has. definitely liked the conversation about their relationship too. |
 |
| Ararararagi-san. |
| Wow, I thought they'd go the regular way and tease until the last episode (or never give a definite answer at all), but instead she confesses in episode 5? That's seriously unexpected. I'm definitely gonna have to rearrange my favourites after this show. |
Myu- said: Antanaru said: Myu- said: Are you insane?Crap, just when I was about to drop the series I prefer the term "easily bored", but yeah, that could work too. You have my sympathies. In THAT case, i'm probably insane. |
quikAsian3 said: dam Senjougahara is very aggressive She's incredible She ranks TOP 5 TSUNDERE ALL TIME already. I'm not sure if someone that confesses so soon really counts as tsundere. |

I'm not sure if someone that confesses so soon really counts as tsundere. yea.. tsundere main characters tend to leave the anime hanging. anyway, tons of possible vectors on this episode woot. |

| Excellent ep. This show is definitely exceeding my expectations. The characters, music, dialogue, all fantastic! |

| Ararararagi~ Good ep. The more I watch the more I like it. Oh and I just love the name Hachikuji. So cute. |
| aragi x sejougahara relationship looked matchable since the very first episode, but i didn't think she would confess so soon. I'm also glad that they didn't completely get rid of hachikuji :}... |
formosan said: The point wasnt whether or not it really happened anywhere but rather if it is actually acceptable at all. I dont think it is acceptable anywhere in the world. unlisted said: vinesage said: formosan said: "even"...lol.....This seems to suggest that such behavior would be unacceptable even in Japan. Yeah LOL. I don't see where would it ever be acceptable :P Thailand? Any area of Iraq controlled by Blackwater / Xe? I could try to research estimated numbers of various sex crimes, but I would get depressed before I got an accurate picture. and my quote was on the word even only, because it shows the rather subconscious stereotype opinion, (whether good or bad, right or wrong) that this kind of thing happens most frequently in japan, which is not true at all (according to your own post) |

| If you are looking for the definition of the word "bittersweet", all you have to do is watch this episode of Bakemonogatari. The bitter part is, for sure, Mayoi's arc coming to an end in a way similar to Fuko's arc overall in Clannad. What the sweet part is, I don't even have to tell, do I? Senjougahara definitely is the most unique character so far, as she's not the typical tsundere we see in almost every anime that features one, but she's, like I said, uniqueness at its finest. This episode kinda topped the previous ones and was a great and touching end to this short arc. Great art, especially the live action elements and great music. The piano theme during the Araragi - Mayoi - Senjougahara confrontation at the park especially. 9/10 |
 |
Omedeto gozaimassu. I seriously got quiet when Senjougahara confessed, but after Mayoi saying "congratz" i simply busrted laughting. I'm loving this anime. |
| Greatest confession i saw |
 |
| Yes!!! that was a happy moment. This episode made up for the last two episodes and made them seem better now after the explanations. Also happy to see that Senjougahara(what a name!) isn't an annoying insulting bitch. I was so glad when she said she loved him. Did that idiot avoid telling her that he likes her also or is it just my idea? And i really laughed when Mayoi congratulated him. ironchefflip said: I guess I'm the only one who thought harassing the snail about her breasts was funny. No i found it funny also. The way he was saying it was absolutely hilarious. In general this is a 5/5 episode for me. |

| Pretty good episode. Confused me a bit, though, heh. I also laughed when Mayoi congratulated him xD;; |
| Fantastic episode, love how everything was tied up and hitagi's smile is worth dying for :D Araragi that lucky bastard... he deserves her though! Better start learning Jap to read the light novels. |
| That was just a stupid arc-ending. This anime have the feeling of "well, let's do an anime with this style because people will like it and find it very original and let's create a main character like this because i'm sure people will love her this way". So... artificial. |
  |
| Better episode than the trainwrecks that were the previous 2 episodes. Mostly because something finally happened. Not much. But at least SOMETHING happened. Waiting for 2 episodes, sitting, doing nothing, isn't exactly redeemed with this. 4/5 for this one. Better than the 2/5 and 1/5 previous 2 episodes. Although still incredibly overrated anime. Nice how they kept the loli alive though. So as to not upset the lolicons of course. This show wouldn't want to lose that chunk of it's audience considering it's already got such a small niche audience as it is. |
 |
| nice episode x) |
| Wow so Mayoi was a spirit all this time, never would have guessed. Things seem to be getting pretty pretty interesting between characters. |
| So the little girl was a spirit, interesting. That almost clears Koyomi's rough handling with her since in a way she isn't real :P This was definitely one of the best episodes so far, plenty of story and feeling put into it, and dialogues that moved the plot forward. Also they went light on the ridiculous animations too which in my book is a plus. Perhaps there is hope for this show being really good after all. |
