The second place that burned down in a short time suggesting someone might be putting those places on fire and somehow it seems to be related to Tsubasa and Araragi.
It's also safe to assume that Araragi is most likely busy with that.

On a side note when did Karan and Senjougahara meet?
I can't seem to remember they ever did but it could just be me.

I also wonder about Araragi parents they never really made a appearance in the anime they where mentioned a few times before tho.
And are they never worried about their son who not comes home for several days at a time?

One of the last lines in the Nisemonogatari anime:
"Once summer break ends, I'll introduce you to my girlfriend"
That's exactly the reason why i was asking i would have loved to see the meeting of Senjougahara and the Araragi sisters.
It would definitely have made for a interesting and good laugh.

Remember Koyomi staying away from home on mother's day? He used to skip school (because he couldn't keep up at the smart student class) and all that, so he was actually quite the trouble maker for his parents.
I do remember the mothers day episode Senjougahara and Araragi had a long talk in front of a apartment complex.
I just wondered about their parent's because they do seem to have a good relationship as siblings so i thought they might be a nice family together.
And it's normal for a parent to worry about their children isn't it.

All of the characters we know now have the opposite of their hairstyles. Long hair - short or vice-versa.

And wow, the cram school burned down! Holy. Can't wait to see what Araragi and Oshino is up to.

And give me back the old Hitagi from Bakemonogatari (; ̄Д ̄)
I was never really a fan of her before this season, but I'm really liking how everything's going so far. And I don't mind Araragi's absence, because I'm assuming he's going to make a big splash when he does eventually return. I need to get around to reading the books.

Karen and Hitagi both looked way better with ponytails (because ponytails), but Hitagi's new hairdo is definitely growing on me.

Senjougahara's accidental slip back into her old character was hilarious, I had to pause for a minute there from laughing. I like that she's a heavier feature this season, my main complaint regarding Nisemonogatari was that I missed having her around as she's one of my all time favourite characters.

I agree about Araragi, I think his absence is okay because the chances are that when he comes back it'll be worth the wait. It's also pretty cool to see the characters interacting without him, it's weird but interesting.
Hachikuji: Araragi-san, you don't look even the least bit apologetic. You should at least say something after touching a girl's delicate chest!
Araragi: *Clueless look* Thanks?

Anyway..

I ended up watching the conversation between Shinobu and Cat Hanekawa THREE TIMES IN ROW because I just love how the scene was presented in the anime and how the two seiyuu delivered the lines. It's superb.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yeah, that scene really stuck out for me as well actually, I just really enjoyed watching it.

I'd love for Shinobu to become a bigger character within the series, considering her past as a renowned powerful vampire I'm sure there are a few skeletons in her closet that could come back to haunt her and that'd be really interesting to see. I'd like to see her grown up though, she's charming as she is but I'd rather have the vamp as a sexy older vamp.

I'm liking that the characters change their appearances reasonably often anyway, it's better than the shounen anime effect where they never change their clothes.

Yeah, I read Kizumonogatari and I really liked it, it's very well written as far as I'm concerned; I always really liked the first 30 seconds of the first episode of Bakemonogatari with the little snippet of Kizumonogatari, it looked really exciting. I'd like to see Araragi in a slightly more badass category at least once, I mean most of the time he wins by talking or by being saved by someone.

I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the season then.

I started watching the Monogatari sereis last week and DAMN I'm addicted to it! I can't believed I lived this long without knowing such a gracefull tsundere like Senjougahara XD

The story is very well put together, the characters are likable and the writing is really clever. I LOVE IT! I watched everything in a few days. That's so sad. This just keeps getting better and better.

I gotta say I'm one of those who doesnt't like Hitagi's new hair cut (ponytails are ponytails), but since it's her... I'm still in love.

Hitagi isn't actually tsundere. She showed no emotions because of the crab and it's (after)effect on her. But she's pretty straight forward in telling someone her emotions, considering how fast she confessed to Koyomi and that she's more or less the leading force in their relationship. And she also has no restraint "harassing" other people she likes, like Tsubasa or the implied lesbian relationship with Kanbaru from the past.

Well I do know she's not exactly a tsundere since they're usually more on the mood swing thing and are usually very plain characters. Senjougara is more complex than that and sometime comes out as more of a psycho.

She does resemble a tsundere in some aspects though, since it's clear that her behavior is a type a wall she build around her to protect herself.

I think that if you were to put a tsundere, an yandere and a kuudere in a blender... than took out ALL the dere you could get something close to her. But since she considers herself a tsundere, even if wrongly I wouldn't dare to defy her logic. All stationary considered.

By the way I'm a big fan off TvTropes so I love to talk about all this useless stuff.

In all fairness, Oshino's nickname for her in the first few episodes was 'The Tsundere'. That said I agree that she's harder to categorise, likely being more yandere than tsundere, she's still one of the best written characters in anime.

Yeah, but as keep in mind most of those characters are mostly acting, beeing sarcastic or whatever. Koyomi does it often, as well as Hitagi (most of her jokes are based on that) and Kanbaru. Their true personality can either be puzzled together or by watching/reading the upcoming stories. It's a bit easier to understand the characters in the novels since the written form gives away a rather demonstration of those characters and their actions/dialogue. At least in my opinion.

I do know they're mosting pretenting (and that's what I find fun about her character), they're not one-dimensional.

I did started reading the novel (I read Hitagi Crab for now, on baka-tsuki), unfortunately it isn't entirely translated, or at least I couldn't find it. It's much more detailed and helped me understand the crab problem a little better. And I love sarcasm I couldn't stop laughing. The anime on the other hand gives us all that fast passed dialog, the expressions and that glorious voice acting.
