| Good start, the first part with Tsukihi was too long though. |
| Cool. Lots of fanservice :) |
| More Nise than Bake but still pretty good. I see that the extensive fanservice is here to stay. Did i catch a little homage to Kamina of Gurren Lagann at one point? |

| Oh how miss this show! |
| tuturu~!! (≧◡≦) |
| Love it |
| pew pew pew |
| Good start :) Koyomi as hilarious and perverted as usual. I lol'd at groping Tsukihi without even 2nd thoughts XD And Karen's definition of love FTW ROFL XD Can't wait for nxt ep to be subbed :) |
 |
| so much LOL moments xD but I still like the Nise Hanekawa and Tsukihi better :3 hope english subs come out soon |
| Life is better when you have some Monogatari. It's been to long. 5/5 |
  |
| Damn, when you already know that all the episodes are out, but the subs aren't ready yet, you feel like gasdsadasdg. Nice start, but I want MOAR. |

I knew that after the phenomenal commercial success of Nisemonogatari the chances were slim to nonexistent that the series would return to its more toned down and character-driven Bakamonogatari roots but it still somewhat pains me to see what it has become, especially when they used the track from Bakemonogatari in the last scene which was like an echo of its former quality. If you don't like service then you should stop watching the series. Bakemono is the tamest of the novels by a large margin. You should probably just buy some lotion and get over it. |
| Fire sisters. ♥ |
| I feel like I can relate to the first part. I guess this anime helped me out to realize it was just sexual frustration, if they won't reach another conclusion that is. Recognize myself in this for example: (Who the fk "buys" porn tho when internet is available?) |

| Woohoo! Monogatari series is back! EPIC. Shaft/5 episode. The only sad thing is that I feel like we will not see Hitagi in this arc :( |

| My body was not ready. Dat imouto groping and Karen's marathon was too much. aishduhuiogahrg Great reminder of why I love the monogatari series so much. Great text and fanservice. |
 |
| Cool episode ,Araragi is perverted as always ,waiting for other 3 episodes to get translated :) |

| this had a bit to much conversation in it, would have been nice if they kicked started the series a bit more |
Nichibotsu-kaeru said: this had a bit to much conversation in it, would have been nice if they kicked started the series a bit more The -monogatari series is pretty much all about conversations... I mean, both Bake- and Nisemonogatari pretty much consists of scenes filled with conversations. |
Nichibotsu-kaeru said: this had a bit to much conversation in it, would have been nice if they kicked started the series a bit more You do know the series that you are watching right...heavy dialogue has always been a given... |
|
| Awesome first episode. I am so psyched for the rest. |
| Check out the News Club for daily rankings, discussion on future CD and BD releases, manga and novels. New members are welcome! |
| Oh god this was fucking hilarious. More yandere Tsukihi and got some Karen service too. Dat imouto boob grab. I recently just re-watched Bakemonogatari a while ago, it seems a lot of stuff in Ep 11 were said again in this episode as well. Lmao'd at Araragi when Hanekawa told him she'd do anything. |
| Good to see that the fanservice part isn't as big as in Nise. I hope this is going to continue like that. And of course the dialogue was wonderful, the art was marvelous and the comedy was pretty good too. |
| Great episode i couldnt stop laughing from the breat grab to Karen walking in with a shit load of sweat, that made me go ewww. how i miss this show pacing. Karen has words to live by haha. |
| My New Year's holiday is now complete. First Kokoro Connect and now this... All that could make it better would be for Kizumonogatari to be released... On another note, I'm actually a fan of Shaft's treatment of these novels (although it is somewhat tedious doing the stop and rewind to read the two frame flash of text screens), but it isn't absolutely necessary to do this with text and conversation heavy shows. Zetsuen no Tempest did four or five episodes which were basically all conversation and logic with three of the main characters frozen in position for the entire sequence. I think both treatments work. |

| If i have never seen any of the other animes about this series, would it best to start with this particular one? |
 |
| The overacting was excessively excessive at first, but it eventually evened out to an appropriate level of excessiveness. |
| Oh yes! Hanekawa! Feels so refreshing to hear Yui Horie voicing Hanekawa again! As usual, a dialogue driven episode. Can't help but be entertained! Ahaha. Groping Tsukihi's breast! Hahaha. I kinda don't like the art of the Tsukihi gag faces though. And a reference for Joe! Ahahaha. |

I would actually suggest that riikaz first watched Bakemonogatari then read Kizumonogatari if you enjoy reading novels. After that you should continue watching Nise --> Neko. |

| lol aragi asking his little sisters for love help x.X |
 |
| Hahaha, oh god I missed this! xD No series will ever have as brilliant dialogues as the monogataris! <3 Koyomi & Tsukihi's love talk was really fun, specially after they ended up in the result that Koyomi's just sexually frustrated, lol. j0x said: THIS xDyes! Karen-chan's words will save the declining population of Japan XD |
 |
| Wow, its finally here. I love this strange and sharp humour, even considering that i did have to pause a few times to read the screen, which is a little annoying. Araragi is the man, on of kind ;) |
