Meh, okay episode I guess. Still waiting for the subs so I can understand it then maybe I will pay attention more. Anyone else think that Mayoi can duplicate her self or something, or has clones? I just thought of that because of the Opening had a lot of Mayoi's. I wonder what's in her huge backpack.. hmm..

So far we got a tsundere and a loli. Can someone confirm if it'll be one anime female stereotype character per arc? Also, I bet this show is more enjoyable if you know how to read kanjis.

Interesting episode, supernatural and sometimes funny as always, I still like the art style a lot. Nice to see SHAFT is doing the effort to animate an awesome OP and ED every arc.

And finally the image at the end of the episode:

Catchy OP, and I finally watch the ED sine its more interesting than staring at an image of Senjōgahara. The episode was not as good as the others but it was still ok, we got to learn more about Hachikuji's situation and that Senjōgahara hates kids for a silly reason. Maybe next week this arc will be over.

I laughed hardly at the part where in the background someone screamed to Senjogahara to put the Stapler down.

Basically... nothing happened here except some background info and more insults from Senjo to Koyomi :/

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Another episode relying heavily on dialogue, and not a lot happened.
Arararagi beat up Mayoi again, which was a bit funny - she fucking bit him, that had got to hurt!

Moe OP and interesting ED animation.

New OP for each arc, 5 arcs in total. After Mayoi Snail we have Suruga Monkey, Nadeko Snake and Tsubasa Cat to come. Which means Miyuki Sawashiro, Kana Hanazawa and than Yui Horie will be singing the last 3 OPs.

i got so bored by watching this episode. Q_Q

And what's with code geass mentioning? Code Geass is one of the animes where you think that you need skill as a story writer to get any lower than that. XD

Still, all i can think of this episode is that i want a senjogahara sex scene.

lolz no wonder u said it was boring considering you gave Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei a 5...
i guess this isnt an anime for ppl who cant stand long dialogues/chats
and the reason why code geass was mentioned was cuz of Alastor1996 giving it a -1/5
surely this anime doesnt have much of fight/death scenes, but i dunt think this was ment to be one..

The repetitive talking is what's killing this show for me. They continuously go around in circles and nothing is ever accomplished till the last few minutes of the episode. Other then that I like the episodes.

So far I'm really enjoying the surreal animation and atmosphere as well as the character interactions.

As far as this episode goes it was alright imo, kind of slow and pointless but I imagine this will have some sort of impact in the arc later on.

Hachikuji is quite the materialistic girl. She even bit Araragi's hand till it was bleeding so she got what deserved there.

An ok episode, but probably the one I have liked the least out of the four so far. At first, I thought the anime was going to be focused on Senjoughara and Aragai, their r/ship and their "myseteries", but looks like we have another girl and a loli inserted here, which I am not too interested in. I guess loli fans would like this ep.

I did lol when Aragai beat up Hatikuji for a second time, and when Hitagi went apprarently went violent with a stapler.

Not enough Hitagi. Next episode looks like the conclusion to the Mayoi arc. Hope they keep it up with a different OP sequence every, if not every other, week.

ED sequence looks like it's here to stay and it's pure awesomeness.
