| EFF YEAH. |

Kanon is a very cute Yandere(also has a goddess haha) and Senjougahara is interesting to say at least...(I don't unsure what people mean when they say a character they like a lot is a goddess. Perfection perhaps?) Yumekichi11 said: Silent_Scream said: But it assumes at most.

That's best I can do to make it clear now with this series. So anything with Mayoi and Shinobu fan service is going plain be sour to me. Most all know the Shinobu's fan service from the BDs of that bandage, well yeah not really cool with me that one.Yumekichi11 said: Ironic Since your profile picture tells otherwise.I just don't like fan service in all animes.

I mean, your profile picture is from Papa(Haruhi clone lead) and they are all <14 years old, there will be plenty of fanservice. And before you said you hate fanservice from this anime, but then you say you are not bothered a bit by it besides Shinobu and Hachikuji(both older than they look btw)...... I conclude you really like fanservice, but is putting up an act to try to look moralful from this. Just why are you complaining when you praised Kobato's fanservice and Maria from haganai so often through your posts!? It's not because of "story". End of Exchange, good day. |

| I didn't think they could keep up with the first season, but it seems I was totally wrong. |
| I'd like to remind something to all the moralfags out there. "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all." -Oscar Wilde And don't try to act smart by saying that he wasn't referring to anime. You can switch the word "book" with any other medium and this maxim still works. |
| It had a nice start. I really enjoyed the prequel so I'm looking forward to this one. I'm glad that the animation is superb! I hope that it continues that way and that they don't wait a year before they release the final episode like last time. |
| Wow. So much anger in these posts. Can't we all just get along? It's a three for me though. A 7 out of 10. I'm starting low with my initial expectations so I won't be disappointed and can only go up. :D Umm... I'm not sure why the seven. I guess it's just because the story hasn't picked up yet? Either way, I'm 100% sure my rating will go up to a 9 or a 10. I liked the opening theme. It felt like a tribute to "Staple Stable," possibly mixed with a little of the ending theme. So far, it's done a nice job of blending in with Bakemonogatari. I'm eager to see what this anime does, having never read the manga. |

| The godly Hitagi is back again. I am not disappoint. This thread delivers too. I'm almost sad that I didn't get in on this 'discussion' earlier. |

| *looks at poll* Haters gonna hate. :)) |
| I play, the haters lose. |
| Didn't feel like a different series, but that isn't something to complain about. |

| ...Am I the only one who doesn't get what's so awesome with this series? Also, some people here have severe masochism. What's so good with Hitagi? |
| Did you like my avatar, perv? |
| I'm happy that new sequel has started. yeah, it's very SHAFT. very very SHAFT, as always. many puns are used as same as other monogatari series. these conversation play are very fun as always. I laughed when Senjougahara enjoys bullying Araragi-kun. lol. (btw she said "bero-chu". "deep-kiss" or "French kiss" are better translation than "make out"...) If I'm corrrect, Araragi-kun was saying that he is unsocial and not good at talk. I think Araragi-kun is very social and good at talking. considerably good as a highschool boy. normal boys can't include many wit references like him. when I heard hachikuji's word "It's Araragi... Yomiko-san!" and Araragi-kun's reaction, I couldn't notice what they actually mean. then I realized that he referred Yomiko Readman. |

| And so, here we go again! Watching Ararararagi... Oops! I Kamimashita! I mean, Araragi-kun get trolled over and over by Senjougahara-chan in the beginning and then a new song by Chiwa Saitou was sung after that scene made me cry in tears of joy. It sounds like Staple Stable but a lot better in my opinion. Then we have one of the two Araragi sisters there who I want to know more because she and her sister were like "Those Two Girls" but now the focus goes to them! WOW! Later on, things get hilarious as we have the Hachikuji Mayoi scenes. Poor Hachikuji-chan! This is the second time she got surprise attacked by Araragi-kun. To be fair, Hachikuji Mayoi is quite a good girl ((not the other bad meaning, I mean the STRAIGHT meaning) Oh crap! Not her previous role! That adorably cute yet bizarrely evil ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼-chan but this.) and is helpful in times when Araragi-kun needs some help. Also, the ACID TRIP continues! Sometimes, my eyes hurt due to the way they are doing it. Aside from the story, I love the animation quality here. It is like Bakemonogatari 2.0 (aside from being the obvious sequel of course). The crisp animation and the overall environment gives me a smile... Even if it may hurt the eyes due to such quality. Overall, 9/10. Bakemonogatari's sequel is as good as it is, or might be better if ever I see more of the story as it progresses on and on. |
| FINALLY THE SEQUEL HAS COME! SALVATION!! Awesome first episode and on that note I have to say "Araragi is da man!". You can't hate his rapeface when he attacked Hachikuji. I loled at that and I also liked the part in the beginning with Hitagi. |
| Fast & meaningful conversation. This is why I like the Monogatari Series :D THE COURAGE TO BE A TROLL! |

Sorry Yumekichi can you stop your attempt at being a moralfag about loli and shit like that, since whenever Kobato or Maria were used for fanservice or just generally there in Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai your dick nearly ripped through your pants and you commented and splashed their screenshots all over your posts on the Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai episode disscusions. Now stop being annoying and take Araragi and Hachikuji part as it is meant to, comedy. |

| Oh yes, amazing anime, so happy to have its epichness back! The dialogues are, as always, simply the best. |
| I wasn't going to watch this at first.But, it was a very good first episode. And I still dislike Senjougahara. |
LoliGirl said: ...Am I the only one who doesn't get what's so awesome with this series? I think that's an invalid generalization :) I suspect most people are just like me - I liked Bakemonogatari, but I wouldn't call it "awesome". LoliGirl said: Also, some people here have severe masochism. What's so good with Hitagi? Can't help you there. I understand where Hitagi's character is coming from, but as I've stated in an earlier post I'm not that into her character. |
 |
| Loved it. Senjougahara is just as gorgeous as ever. Hachikuji is just as cute and crazy as ever. The harem is still intact, and his sister's are getting a little more screentime and look a little "cuter" as well. Though it seems that Araragi is still rather down about Oshino moving on.  |
 |
| 2/5 A very underwhelming introduction into Nisemonogatari that didn't really work for me at any level. Mai waifu and me (both fans of Bakemonogatari) sat with a deadpan face through the whole episode. Even worse, after half the episode twitching on the couch set in due to the sheer boredom. At the moment I'm having trouble to pinpoint what went wrong here. It felt very formulaic for sure; trying very hard to appease fans of Bake by rehashing all jokes while failing to capture the wit of the first series. And for the first time I'm asking myself if the obviously higher budget didn't hurt more than it helped as Bake had to substitute animation with script quality. Oh well, let's wait and see how this develops. |
| 8/10 4/5 ..Crazy as expected. Felt more like a filler than an ep based around a novel, but it was good to see a lot of the old crew again. (and get introduced to one of his sisters) The Hachikuji/Araragi scenes gave me a couple of chuckles and I actually enjoyed them a bit better than the Araragi/Senjougahara ones. Looking forward to more! |
| Not bad. I'm not really digging some of the artistic choices though. Chiwa Saito sounds somewhat different from how I remember her Hitagi voice. |

| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Incredible. Everything about it is perfect. Missed it so much! Glad you're back, Ararararagi-kun (Sorry, I stuttered). |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| First anime episode of the year for me, and it's actually the best anime!!! I loved the opening, and Araragi's conversations with Senjougahara are totally funny like always, also liked Mayoi in the first chapter, she's quite funny xDD And also we could see more of "Shuraragi's" lolicon side xDD |
| That was wonderful. Especially loved it when Hachikuji was talking about money. The voice acting was absolutely priceless there. |
 |
| As expected, gorgeous as ever. Loved Araragi's interaction with Hachikuji~ |
 |
| That was awesome !.The greatness of the dialogue is still intriguing as ever. |
| This could be a gorgeous sequel of Bakemonogatari! 5/5 overall in my opinion, from voice acting, op, through the plot itself. I knew Shaft would never disappoint us. ;) |
| YESSSSSSSSSS the anime that I've been waiting for and I already loving it !!! |

thang99 said: What do you guys think about the first scene ? It's seems it's one of the final scenes and we will be watching what happened before. I believe she didn't turn into another gasai yuno because i would hate that. Most probably ararararagi got into real shit and thinks of sacrificing himself like always, but Hitagi is angry and doesn't allow him to do that, well that's just my guess. What are your opinions ? I'm quite certain Hitagi has a good reason. She isn't crazy at all. She likes to play the crazy but she's actually a very sweet person and that's what so great about her. You get a girl with a sometimes tsun or yandere fan-service attitude but with the essence of a sweet girl. As about the episode unfortunately only the first minutes where really awesome with Senjougahara giving us a good show of her playing-attitude. The dialog with the loli wasn't as good as other times it seems. Nothing terrible but just mediocre. iWishTifaWasReal said: notsureifsrs said: Okay bro. I hope you're not a pedophile, bro.

| I have the courage to say this episode was better than most of it's prequel. |
| Courage to admit that i was expecting Hachikuji's pantie. (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮 |

| It was enjoyable. The caharacters are more lively than in Bakemo and there were even funny parts that made me laugh. Glad to see Senjougahara as well and looking forward to see Karen, the tall imouto. And I agree, the OP is great, love it. |
  |
| Best part of the episode was the beginning for me with the Hitagi/Koyomi psychological torture scene:) |
