Wooo, Araragi and Kanbaru looks great together. If only Kanbaru wasn't a lesbo XD

Anyways, this episode lacks Senjougahara BIG TIME, she wasn't even in the episode from what I saw. At least Nadeko made her appearance, she's so cute!~

YES! THAT'S TEH IMAGE! When I saw that I had to pause immediately cause I was literally on the floor laughing. Internet jokes become mainstream. Now, the question is, did the producers get those guys' permission to use their likeness?

Hahahahaha yeah.

Great episode, even though there was little Hitagi. Oh well, since her B-day is coming up we're surely get to see more of her. Nadeko is moe.

I thought the episode would be a tad boring at the start, couldn't find myself enjoying the first part of the episode for some reason. As it went on though, I quickly got into it. It was nice to get more development for Hitagi but she probably would have killed Koyomi if she walked in on him and Hanekawa.

I'm starting to like Kanbaru's character more and more. Her character and reactions compliment Koyomi nicely but in a different way than Hitagi. And I liked Hanekawa this episode too. She's such a tease

"I know exactly what porn you've been buying lately"
"What? No way!? - There was no one around. I made sure of it!"

I didn't really like this episode. Not too fond of Nadeko. From the promo art, I expected someone who was rather aloof. Wasn't expecting her to be Araragi's sister's friend. She annoyed me towards the end, when she started crying, telling him to help her. Couldn't feel sorry for her at all. Well, perhaps my opinion will eventually change. After all, it's only the first episode in her arc.

I felt like Kanbaru really shined in this episode, and her silly actions towards the end really made the episode for me. Oh, Kanbaru. You're too genre savvy.

Haha a great episode. Oh dear I think I might have trouble choosing between Senjougahara and Nadeko. Both are very cute. Nadeko was sooo cute~ I have to wait to see more of her personality. I like Kanbaru a lot more now she is really funny XD More funny facial expressions to add to it.

I am curious to how this is going to turn out though the beginning made it sound like something bad is really gonna happen.

The series is crossing too much into harem territory. Pretty soon, the only thing differentiate it from other harem shows will be the style.

huh? i thought this series is a harem show before i even watched it.. i mean, with all the girls every arc to be helped out.. i figured it's only a matter of time to fully become one..

anyway.. for me, this show still never fails in bringing good eps every week.. and i like kanbaru more now (became the anime babe of the day in my profile)..

And that is the most important aspect. It's a harem that gets a very interesting cast of characters and a nice narration style.

This episode shows why I say Kanbaru is an awesome character. Up to now, every single character has an interesting (and problematic) personality. I hope Nadeko has that as well...

And I suspect that Hanekawa's headaches are related to an oddity, as she was actually acting pretty strange and I don't think it's because of Nadeko (Nadeko's oddity are the scales).....

So really i like this show , and the characters are interesting but why cut Senjohara out of the story when she is obviously the best one, I don`t get it . This whole episode was "Senjohara said" or " Senjohara did" . Why can`t we just have her saying and doing instead ?

OMG, what the hell was up with that 'lightning' strip at the end :D
That girl has more guts than Araragi XD
That was probably the most nudity i've seen in these series...
although Senjougahara did give her some competition in the second episode... we'll see at the end, who knows what sh** might happen ^_^

Lots of fanservice for guys. Anyway leaving that aside, it was a hilarious episode, I couldn't avoid to take a few of screenshots, specially the "Its fine now, you can turn back around now". I really had to rewatch the scene again because I couldn't see the subtitles with the tears in my eyes.

Well Nadeko Snake arc looks good so far, doesn't look like she's in love with Koyomi, I can tell by the way she apreciate him, and calling him oni-chan says a lot more. I sorta liked the Kanbaru/Koyomi holding hands scene, I guess is just Senjogahara plotting something.

Good observation, Senjougahara is definitely plotting something and it'll probably be revealed in the later episodes (maybe the last episode). It's nothing big but it's pretty sweet the way she explains it. At least that is what people who read the light novels told me.

Clearly you haven't watch the series clearly. The show makes fun of the fact that Araragi is having a harem and the girls themselves understand that. Besides this harem is only for show, the girls plays important roles in terms of ridding future odditiies.

This just proves that you don't need Senjougahara to have a really good episode. Imo, Kanbaru's relationship with Araragi is almost as entertaining as Senjougahara's.

it really is too bad that ive never heard of that "reaction guy" meme.

btw, if youd have read the very basic premise of this show (guy meets bunch of girls with weird problems) then you SHOULD have seen somewhat of a harem aspect coming. and that aspect isnt even nearly as strong in this series so as to spark any (groan)ing, i mean every one of the girls besides senjogahara only see him as a friend.

Hm hm, Hanekawa's words about Senjougahara and Araragi's relations somewhat makes me worried,,,especially when she pointed out on how Araragi is too kind for other girls, i hope nothing gonna happened between Senjougahara and Araragi.

For the Nadehiko Snake, kinda interesting and scary..

And did Araragi just broke his promise to Senjougahara again? he kept the abnormality incident by himself again, just like Kanbaru Monkey incident.
