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. There's no way the timeframe of the arc is that short. Notice, he said he got kidnapped on July 29th, and then the scenes after the first scene start on July 29th. He's going to get kidnapped soon. |
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. What are your opinions ? Well it should be a later scene for the next episode since it was like the 30th in the story... And I think it said flashback on his phone during the episode... |

| Love the OP! Saito Chiwa is the best! |

And who da hell dislikes this? 1.I dont like reading novels.I tried some titles, but i guess its not for me.Anyway...what this have to do with me loving monogatari series? true, i did not read novels, but it doesnt mean i cant like it, right? 2.I know some people who dislike this.Actually not this, but Bake. |

| Loved Bakemonogatari and happy that season 2 is out! The episode was awesome! I'm glad I get to see Senjougahara again, I love her! I was hoping to see Karen since it was meant to be her episode but we got Tsukihi and Hachikuji and a little bit of Sengoku instead! Can't wait for more episodes! :D |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| So finally, after a few years for must of the watchers of the first season (me being an exception because I just finished the series last week) have finally got a taste of the second season and the continuation of ''Bakemonogatari'' into ''Nisemonogatari''. I loved this episode quite oddly. Hachikuji in my opinion makes for one of the most interesting and funniest characters in both this season and the last. I think she's meant to serve a higher purpose in the series, but is kind of left out to fizzle away being a side character. I hope to see more of her later on in the series. The comedic relief she brings just makes me want to continue watching. Besides the more important characters. Regardless, loved the first episode and hopefully, we can jump back into the actual story of where we left off from the first season. Looking forward to the next! |

This :) I'm the same. ^^ The first few minutes were.. unusual. Not sure if I liked them or not, but I guess next episode we'll find out what happened. The OP was great, I really loved it ^^ I acutally didn't really expect one for the first episode, tbh <_< The rest of the episdoe left me really happy. Got to see more of the house Araragi lives in!! ^^ It really looks huge tho. His sister is funny :) And then the catnip Mayoi, I just loved their conversation. I really wanted to see more of her "stuttering" and how she changed her words. Had a great laugh at how Araragi changed the way he replies to the names she gives him! Also the "courage" battle was funny >_< So yeah, really loved the episode, will probably re-watch a few times before #2 comes out :) |
  |
| Waited for this to come out all week and man was it worth it! Seeing Hitagi at the start and 'toying' with Araragi, oh my god that was hilariously awesome. Loved the wide screen with the black borders giving a movie-feel at the start. Araragi harassing Hachikuji, lmao that was so hilarious and him being such a lolicon and a pervert. PANTIES! xD Damn, loved the art as always and the quality is top-knotch. Can't wait for the next episodes. Great pilot episode :D |
 |
| Honestly i thought it was a pretty slow start. But the chars and the art is still amazing and i love this show cant wait for more |
| can't wait for more~! :DD and to hear ClariS! more shaft head tilt-! |
| Yaaa~ it started. I'm gonna love my Sunday morning :) |
| . |
| i actually can't believe this is happening, i am so happy! great episode, i found the second half was a lot funnier, it is so nice to have this back it seems like such a long time ago since i watched the first season. Hoppy said: Matheine said: Finally it's out :DDDDDDDDDD I was wondering when is Kizumonogatari gonna air? The movie will be out this year in Japanese Theaters so the BD release should be sometime early next year. i was going to ask this as well, i have been waiting for it for a long time, at least it won't be as bad any more :D |
| so yeah we get some Senjougahara right of the bat that is always good. Still haven seen Karen whats up with that. Hachikuji and Ararararararagi is always a good thing. He really loves to tease her. Hachikuji exploding and then turning feral was great. some Sengoku coming up should be great "The courage to be label a pervert!!!" |
 |
| It's pretty obvious that Senjougahara is 'probably' protecting Araragi from that dude mentioned in the synopsis. Anyway, I find it laughable when people complain about all the dialogue, yet claim they loved the first series when it was exactly the same. ___Monogatari has always been about the dialogue. Anyway, I enjoyed this episode for the most part. I still think the scenes between Senjougahara and Araragi are the best part of the series. |

| Just like Bakemonogatari, I love the style of the art. Pretty psyched for this one. |
 |
| NisiOisiN has always been my favorite author ever since I've stumbled upon him. Bakemonogatari has always been the only anime title that has ever came to mind when I thought or was asked about "my favorite anime". SHAFT has been a love of mine quite a while before Bakemonogatari; post-Bakemonogatari, needless to say it's been "my favorite studio". I was getting teary for no other fucking reason other than the fact that I was happy seeing the series I loved so much animated again. I'm not gonna talk about the episode because there isn't a part of it I didn't enjoy. Now I just have to wait a week. |

| And I still wish my world was as colourful as their's. |
| I love that it's still dialogue-heavy like Bakemonogatari... The 'courage' scene was hilarious. xD Guess I'm going to use courage a lot more in my essays because it makes any sentence sound good. xD |
| I'm finding it hilariousness that people are not liking the show for it's extreme amount dialogue for the simple fact compared to many Bakemonogatari episodes this one was pretty tame in dialogue. Anyway the show is back and I can't be any happier! |
Tenchio said: It's good to see SHAFT back on track after two years of lacklustre series. Great episode with knife-sharp directing - felt like 10 minutes. Madoka wasn't lackluster at all. But yeah, this episode was great. I am not so sure about Karen's character yet so I can't judge, but it seems it's her arc, too bad Nadeko only got so much camera time. Also, yay Hachikuji, has to be one of my favorite loli characters |

| Hitagi and Koyomi are like the perfect S&M couple. I'm just waiting for Koyomi to say "Yes, mistress Hitagi. Beat me more mistress Hitagi. make me kiss your feet, master!" What's with Koyomi molesting Mayoi? You can get arrested for that shit. I guess since no one can see her except him. So, he can use her to fulfill his pervy otaku desires and molest a loli. Also Koyomi in denial again. His sister calling it out that Sengoku has feelings for him and he plays it off like there's nothing there. You'd think he learned his lesson from Tsubasa KuroNeko. |
| MAJOR ISSUE i dont like the part when Araragi was being a pedophile. you people should know that its bad. seriously, it ruined Araragi's image. AND I really effing hope there are no incest stuff in the anime. smh. ALSO i'm kinda disappointed with the OP song. It sounds familiar. It sounds like the first OP song of Bakemonogatari, which is Staple Staple. you can even hear the intro of Staple Staple around 0:19 in the song |
  |
| Except, you know, he molested Mayoi nearly every single time he saw her in Bakemonogatari.... and it was probably the point for the OP to be similar to the first one from Bakemonogatari. |

| For the most of the episode I was happy until the stupid fan service Mayoi. Why in the world I want to see her panties or even vagina? I mean seriously WTF was that part in the spoiler http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2012/01/08/nisemonogatari-hentai-from-the-start/ Thinks it already hentai. An exaggeration perhaps but to suddenly think like that? I don’t know but if they push shit down the road like Yosuga no Sora or close to it then I can’t say I can ignore it. Someone said before “Are you going to let ecchi stop you from seeing something?” No but it certain won’t stop me being annoyed if it’s too much of it. Right? Anyway I broke it up in parts with an OP comment. About Mayoi/Koyomi, that’s the part I have to say was comedic until the stupid ass fan service that went overboard. I don’t like shit going too far in my face when I don’t like it. With the way Koyomi’s face is in the following,  It totally looks like a perverted face. Moreover he does all this shit in the spoiler Love the serious face and poses of Mayoi in the spoiler About OP, the OP was interesting in that it featured Hitagi here and the stapler here. While I do find the following 2 thins in the spoiler About Hitagi x Koyomi, at first I was wondering WTF is going with Koyomi in the spoiler
About Tsukihi, one of my favourites new girls this season. Yup I have a poster of them! Less than a few spaces from me right now. I love Tsukihi’s face in the following part,  While the one in the spoiler About miscellaneous stuff, I though the start with Tsubasa here and math stuff was a good indication that Koyomi needs to move his ass to succeed in exams. While I do admit that Koyomi here and Nadeko’s face here were very nice to see. Nadeko looked MOE as usual. While I ROFL at her screaming at Koyomi here. I did like her fan service in the spoiler So all in all comedy, talking and drama were done fine. The fan service was too pushed for Mayoi. Did not like that. BTW Image Stitches are done in the spoiler |
| First few minutes before the awesome new OP, I thought Senjougahara turned Yandere o.o Ah, this winter will be great. Karhu said: Fuck yeah. |

I loved that, it was so funny. We should know by now that Araragi is pretty much a lolicon. But he is entertaining when he does it and has no intention of raping her(Vampire strength, he could). Unless I didn't remember correctly, he molested Hachikuji in Bakemonogatari also, I don't find this surprising. |

GodlyKyon said: I do not eat all the fan service thrown at me. Araragi is not a lolicon. Since when? What? He was never one. What? No just no. I never though of him as a lolicon at all. However it might explain as to why he it not too close to her sisters especially Tsukihi whom looks young. Yumekichi11 said: Oh my... The guy who said you were bipolar to fanservice wasn't joking a while ago.The fanservice is very relevant, Araragi is basically a lolicon Hmmmmmmmm, I still don't consider Araragi as a lolicon. iWishTifaWasReal said: EXACTLY! Thank you! I have been mentioning that in PV. So it's about stuff in ecchi being extreme. I specified as long as it does not undermine the story? Well It did this time and I am not happy of that. I found myself ROFL until that stupid fan service moment. Heck even jumping on Mayoi was funny not rape like at all.

GodlyKyon said: I just think the priest arranged his blood lust to erotic lust and perhaps he can't control the urge.

Unless I didn't remember correctly, he molested Hachikuji in Bakemonogatari also, I don't find this surprising. I was thinking that. I mean why else would he be if not as a defect of suppressing his blood lust. Well he had some of that but as soon as he released his libido he seemed calmer. There is also this being a default to control hist lust. I just hope it does go haywire more. |
| Awesomeness. I'm glad that this series is finally back, still as entertaining as ever. I'm especially looking forward to this season because I've heard there's going to be an arc which involves the two Araragi sisters. (What's it called Fire Sisters or something?) I preferred Tsukihi with long hair though. Why she cut her hair? Koyomi tries to rape Mayoi again and trick her into showing her panties. For that you deserve a PIE TO THE FACE!! lol. |

Question... What country are you from? I only want to learn it to judge your opinion based on the culture that you were influenced by. You can't remember? I am VERY certain that it happened, I remember it as clear as if it happened only a while ago. He saw Hachikuji and grabbed her breast from behind, then Mayoi Hachikuji started "go berserk" and bite him. Try watching it again or else don't skip episodes And... I really do not find that to be fan service, at all. Sure if the show was purely lolicon, it ruins it. Yumekichi11 said: GodlyKyon said: Yumekichi11 said: How was it obstructing the story though? It was him encountering with Hachikuji, who he talks with a lot. |
