| Well, definitely better than the first episode, but I still don't believe this show is all that great. The SenjogaharaxAraragi relationship feels so forced and fake. Also, this show (the art and storyline) is so abstract... I don't really like stuff that are too abstract. Nonetheless, I'll keep watching for now, I guess. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Darn. This is so much like FLCL sometimes. How they mocked moe and romance series plus 'i don't know what to waer' cliche in the first half of episode is just epic. No wonder that so many ppl gave it best in '09 title. |
 |
| well that explains why she was acting the way she was |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| pretty too watch, but i hope the characters continue to develop |
 |
| Omoi = feelings/weight. A case of the crab(s) made her a stuck-up shallow rich bitch who is "not really interested in music." Hence, totally unlikable. Oh, but she was almost raped by crazy cultists and it tore her family apart, which means we have to feel all ;-; for her now. And then, OH HI I'M TSUNDERE AS FUCK LET'S GET ALONG NOW K? ^-^ Not as clever as it thinks it is yet. I mean, so far it seems like a very thinly veiled attempt at putting a spin on the whole tsundere thing. It's kind of pretty, though Senjogahara's striking a pose in her underwear with every line she says just comes off as ostentatiously flashy fanservice. And to answer someone's question from a while ago, if you can't figure out why fanservice is insulting to its audience, well... We'll see, though. I hope I end up liking it more than I think I will. I have doubts. |
| So he got her weight :D 55 + 45 = 100 Poor guy... |
| The opening is kind of boring, but the song is nice. I almost stopped half way through because of the long ass bantering that was going on. But I finished and it all made sense when you think about it. After all the crab god took her weight; feelings and emotions. It's only natural for her to act like a total douche. I'm interested to see what happens now that she has them back, she seems a lot more gentle and sweet. Never know. The animation is really impressive, I especially like the eyes, though I could do without the antenna hair . . . |
 |
| Wait, so now is Hitagi going to be nice?! I liked her bully side xp |
 |
| good episode :)\ liked how much Black hanekawa there was in this episode and all of araragis reactions also a bit of hachikuji in this episode made me smile :D |
 |
minwonderland said: The graphic is amusing. yeah it is |
| "Could you not spit? Virginity is contagious." x] Oshino is pretty cool. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This managed to impress me. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| why does the male lead always have to be a faggot all the time?!?! Is it not okay to act fucking normal around a girl prancing in their goddamn underwear? Ohh a girls tittie lets be afraid for our lives!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!! To top it off... the idiot gets all pervy when she's not looking?!?! I just dont fucking get japanese men in this manner... For a very sexually open culture (they have a temple dedicated to the cock for chrissakes) These overly scared main male characters are just, abnormal[/rant] Other than that I want to kill the main character already, Senogouhara is very beautiful. |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Too much useless fanservice... |
| Well, that main-protagonist (don't know his name) is really annoying. But the show in every else point is awesome. The ceremony part was great with that mix of text, animation, real life pictures and interferences. |
| Interesting episode. Love the ritual scene. :D Poor Hitagi. So she was the reason why her mum joined the cult in the first place. |
| I got SHAFTed again... Awesome episode ^^ |
| Great ep. First one was just weird, and I wondered if I'd like the series. But this ep. made up for it. Oh, and the fanservice in the ep. was just awesome. I just can't believe the actions of the male lead here. Why would you NOT look?! |
| I dropped this series a few months ago, but since it has a high popularity I thought I might give it another try......... and hah it's getting really interesting now! :o but I'll still have to get used to the *Black* screens and typography and such.... weirdness Hitagi is now really becoming a Tsundere character :) |
 |
| Nice verbal abuse!! Starrlightx3 said: I was clueless up to that point but i understood everything from there onwards.Awesome episode! I liked it a lot. I really liked how they explained the whole weight thing, and how it represented more then just physical weight. |
| Interesting, but in a good way. I'm definitely going to watch the remaining episodes, I enjoy what I see so far. 5/5 Although I do hate that I have to quickly pause the animation to read the half-sec pictures. I guess I could skip them, but I'm the type who just wants to know everything. |
| I think 'doutei' means 'cherry' or 'cherry boy' in English. though they translated it as 'virgin', 5:45- Araragi's line "Girls can't catch virginity!" is definitely unnatural. |
| lol im starting to like this. 100 kg lol. |
     |
| Great episode. Love the animation and the style (especially with the use of real human photos; a nice touch to a nice episode). Hitagi is just so tsundere like damn...it's making me drool...lol. The conversation between aragi and hitagi was hilarious. It seems to me hitagi now has her feeligs back...from tsuntsun to Dere dere :o |
 |
| Good thing the weight problem didn't last long. |
| eeh' hitagi is pretty bold and baddass... no wonder she's on the top favorite anime characters (favorited by mostly boys) even though bakemonogatari is a new anime. well watching this ep indeed puts quite some weight in my heart and for sure for more next next episode, things are getting more interesting. |
| Her mother is the worst mother ever.Which mother will let her own daughter being raped.Glad that the weight problem is gone. |
    |
| Ok... I can't say this isn't at least original, but it feels so weird, this episode didn't raise any emotion, thrills or excitement on my part. Oh well, At least I'm mildly interested in seeing where this is going. I must give props to something... Hitagi is probably the hottest female I've ever seen animated. |

| I can't still figure out what's going on, the art's pretty decent though, and this series has a particular focus on SFX and music. Still, I think you need to be hammer drunk, or high to fully enjoy it. |
 |
| I'm digging the hell out of the animation style in this show. Shinbou does it yet again. |
 |
| Great episode, though I'd be lying if I said I understood everything going on 100 %. It's clear that Senjougahara is a great character, and I don't just mean by looks, and it's ONLY the second episode. The dialogue was great, particularly during the scene in Senjougahara's apartment and I liked how her back story was handled. Great series so far. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I'm liking this more. |
Aleka said: I'm liking this more. Same. this took a second for me to really get into it... but I def like this. SOLID episode... and I wanna hear more about his backstory w/ the Vampire... but that arc will probably be near the end..etc. I liked Senjougahara's backstory. How tragic - she's a strong girl! Looking forward to the next episode. |
  |
| if she stays the way she is after the crab incident, i will like this show. well this episode was better than the 1st one. his family all have the little strand of hair, forgot wat was the name. |
     |
| hmmm aragi weighs 100kg now? My guess is that the crab gave senjougahara's weight to Aragi, since he said "gods really are blind" or maybe he has just gained a lot of weight. But I'm glad I finally decided to check this one out it looks like it'll be good. |

| This episode hooked me in. Really liking where this is going. Also, HIS SISTERS OH GOD MY NUTBLADDERR |
 |
| Oh man. Only Hitagi-chan can go from being super sexy to tearful kaawaii in one episode. She's no common tsundere, she's much more than that. I'm won over.. time to go join a fanclub. ^^ Also, Oshino is getting better as a character, can't wait for a background story on him. |
| Much better episode. I actually understood what was happening as compared to the first which was a mind-torturous experience. Well, maybe not that bad, but it was confusing and this episode definitely got my feet planted into something. Looking forward to the next! |
| Loved the fanservice, music background, way of animation, characters, voices, all, all! And I saw the two girl of Nisemonogatari! xDD The animation that SHAFT does is ridiculous awesome!!! I'm watching this almost 3 years after its release, I never expected that this could be fucking awesome as it's!!! xDDD! |
| Everything finally makes sense now. The first episode was nothing but mental torture with its eccentric presentation and animation style, but I think I'm starting to like it. |
| Much better episode than the last one. |
 |
| lol that was an awesome episode! :D |
 |
| Reminds me of EF with all those words being thrown around and shit. |
