Liked this episode a lot. Hachikuji is REALLY cute, and I loved how she hid behind Ararararararararagi because she was afraid of Senjougahara (these names are such a pain to remember). I also loved Senjougahara's reasoning for hating children, as hilarious as it is. I STILL have no idea what is going on though. When will all of this make sense‽

Very slow paced episode.
I think Hanekawa loves Araragi.
And holy moly Hachikuji has a strong bite

This episode leads to the introduction of one of the most iconic repeating gags in the series, Hachikuji's "stuttering". But Araragi is a hard name to say anyway lol

* Starts off with a cryptic talk phone call from meme.
* We're going to go somewhere which was different from the last episode trying to find the kids mother's house with senjogohara leading the way.
* Apperently, the kid is scared of senjogohara and for good reason, she really doesn't like kids and doesn't fail to make me laugh at her ridiculous reason. Finding out more about her character is always a good thing in my book no matter how trivial it may seem.
* Felt an escalation of mystery and suspense when we couldn't find the house , which isn't something one would normally suspense for.
* Getting emotional dialogue from Mayoi, slowing adding depth to her character. Probably alluding to what her ailment is which I'm guessing has something to do with altering space. Was wrong about what her ailment could be.
* Senjogohara departs, and announces she cannot be left alone with that child, Jesus, doesn't fail to scare me neither.
* So we get some alone time for Mayoi and araragi and also additional interactions with hanakawa adding to the conversation, apperently there is something she doesn't know and is sorry to disappoint. Adding through few lines of dialogue, intriguing.
* Finally, we get another comical fight between them, and a surprisingly violent one, the most violent this story has gotten. And her comment about liking his taste, well that was disturbing.
* Although, I think I missed some lines of a dialogue but I was too caught up in the story to pause or rewind.

This was a good and very interesting ep. Looks like Mayoi-chan have got used to being around Araragi, but she still has the bitch behaviour. xD She is also the gold digger type. You can allure her with money and sweets. Hahaha! That fight scene with Mayoi-chan and Araragi was intense. To react that furious just by having his hand so close to her. Looks like she has also been through a trauma, most probably. She had an intense killing look. Funny how Araragi K.O. her twice. He did also touch her unripened fruit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)



Senjugahara hating kids. That came as a surprise. Maybe the young crying kid was a spoiled brat like Mayoi-chan. Makes sense why she hates kids and think they should all die. hahah. She may have a good point. Kids can be nuisance. Not like adults is any better. Hanekawa acted just opposite to Senjugahara. Looks like she is the kind type who makes two persons friend again. Funny how Oshino calls Senjugahara Tsundere-chan. She is really a tsundere after all. Hahhaah. We got to see more of Mayoi-chan's problem. Maybe it will be solved next time? Good ep.

PS! I see that people may not be so fond of the new OP which was also seen in the last ep. But I look it very differently. The OP shows the personality and the behaviour of the girls the arcs are about. Like the first one was a calm and sad OP. It shows the sad past Senjougahara has and the calm personality we have seen. On the other hand, the 2nd OP is more hysteric and very hype. It's very energetic just like how Mayoi is seen. So as you understand the OP gives one an intro about how the characters are and how they behave. :) This may not be correct, but just a my thought and interpretation about the matter.

"She amusingly mistook the meaning of 'touring'"

Hey writers? If you not only have to explain the joke but tell me I'm supposed to be amused by it, the joke probably sucks.

Seems like the other episodes will also follow the same fashion.

Araragi is the worst molester in the world.

This show is getting really boring now. Only thing it is good for is putting jokes in every frame. Just like what Zetsubou Sensei does.


Bro stop watching it. You kept commenting how lame and boring every episode is but kept watching and coming back to comment.

I watched it to see how deep this shithole of a show went.
Spoilers: it is really shit

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

This is definitely a show which requires all your attention to watch, I took a bite of cereal and then had to rewind like 15 seconds because I missed so much. This episode provided some nice insight into Mayoi and her back-story. I am really curious as to what these black scenes and red scenes are since it seems like most of the splice ins are saying one or the other, but I am not sure what it means, and can't seem to think up an answer. The animation on that phone was really interesting, I love how daring the studio is to do different types of animation.

A casual talk exchanging lines between Araragi and Mayoi

Now this is where her odd "curse" was showing does that mean whenever she's around they'll always be lost quite interesting how will this problem gets solved

Her teeth that's scary don't let your hand near Mayoi or she'll bite it thankfully Araragi has his regenerative powers, Hanekawa paid a visit though, And of course, Oshino has an answer to these peculiar events.

My gosh. These guys have the most basic of conversations and yet they're accompanied by the most dramatic camera angles and title screens transcribing their dialogue as if they just said something introspective or artsy and I don't know if they actually have said something grandiose or if they're humorously placing emphasis on mundane dialogue. The way they reel their head all the way back to carry on a conversation. And I am ALL for it. I love the dialogue so much. This show has no chill fr. It's throwing my for a loop. I don't know if I'm watching something paramount or pretentious, but it's got my undivided attention.

Also, the scene of just walking along the road looking for the address was just so eerie. The MC seems totally unfazed by everything, but the lack of life and the ominous mist is so unnerving haha.

Feel bad for Mayoi, being lead around by two adults, one who hates children and another who keeps beating the shit out of her. lmfao
That town they're in is really empty too... but I'm sure it's for artistic purposes.

Interesting how we learned quite a bit more about Mayoi- and Senjougahara as well- while everyone was wandering around lost. The loss of cell phone signal after missing the mark twice suggests something of the supernatural. As with previous episodes the monster is never really in plain view, more or a suggestion. Which actually makes it more intriguing and potentially terrifying. I was glad to see Hanekawa pop back in and look forward to seeing more of her. But I do agree with Mayoi on the conversation between Araragi and Meme: it didn't seem to resolve anything. But I enjoyed the old video game references, pong and space invaders. Fortunately there's a part 3 to find out what was the result of Senjougahara and Mem's interaction. But it sounds like a stapler was involved, so one can only imagine.

So does every girl now have to injure Araragi? It's a funny gag, at least, unlike him assaulting little girls.

Plotwise, said girl can't ever reach her mother's house but I wonder if she would be able to reach it if they had gone along with someone who knew exactly where the house was. Or maybe the apparition actually bends space to ensure the girl doesn't reach the house.

Good thing Araragi has vampire powers. Hachikuji didn't even hold back. I like how Hanekawa probably knew who Tsunade was but didn't tell Araragi once he brought up Senjougahara. Really like how this sets up for later episodes.

The first episode was visually stunning and created some intrigue but didn't really have anything else going for it. The second one was... OK. Episode three bored me so much I had a hard time focusing on it. Now, this fourth episode...

This is the first one I can genuinely say I liked. It wasn't great, but I found it enjoyable enough from beginning to end. There's some hope for this series yet!
