So I take it the 1/10th part of our boy that is vampire just happens to be the part that stops vampires dying from conventional means.. how convenient! haha

N isn't it funny how every preson he finds that needs help with something supernatural just happens to be a girl (and a cute one at that)?

Good episode. I feel like I've now seen more of a realistic situational side of the story since Araragi couldn't save EVERYONE this time around. I also like the fact that the side characters kind of stick around but they kind of left out Hachikuji, so that's kind of a loop hole to that. Either way, good episode. Finally, we get around to the main climax of the story. Looking forward to the next!

Dear God that snake fight...

Whole time it was like BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEEN BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN a second of fight footage BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN BLACK SCREEN two seconds of footage of him standing there making me think the video was out of sync with the audio then BLACK SCREEN RED SCREEN.

Good episode though. Just got confused at that fight scene.

again... Sengoku is cute. nice body *crap... she's still in middle school*

and i know Araragi will try to rescue Sengoku.. what a bloody one-sided match it is.

and the snake returns to the summoner, well f*ck him...
so the curse summoner is Sengoku's friend and the guy that confess to her? damn that must be rough for her

Such a cute opening!

Anyways, that was one intense episode! It started out pretty slow but picked up its pace pretty quickly. I liked it, but we need more Senjougahara! >:(

1-tenth vampyre boy can take a lot of blows. o_O I'm still in awe over raincoat demon kicking out the center of his torso without rendering Araragi useless...He's a bit overpowered?

Poor Sengoku. :(

Next episode is Tsubasa's? Yay, I love her. :) Seeing some more depth on such a nice character will be nice. :) I guess her headaches were a bad thing...

Koyomi aint no bitch, too bad we dont get more Senjougahara, and it seems shes listed as a supporting character in the sequel, i guess she becomes more and more non relevant as the series goes on.

Great episode! I'm kinda unsatisfied with absence of Senjougahara (it's the second or third episode without her), but it's still very good. Amazing atmosphere and I liked Sengoku.

BTW, what's with that white, red and black screens that appear very often? I don't get it.

so Koyomi forcefully removed one snake, and you see the other snake is still in Nadeko's body, yet at the end of the episode, she's fine. What happened to the other snake.
Or it's an error of animation and the first snake was removed by the ritual and the scond snake was the one forcefully removed. IDK

It was good. The color kanji annoyed me more this time though. Kinda wish they had another episode for this arc though maybe that's all the material they had (idk I haven't read the light novels).

I like pretty much every part's climax so far in the show. Hope there is something that can really make me go a big wow though. The conversations are really good although sometimes I do feel it becomes a drag (especially Hachikuji arc) but lately its been good.

This arc was disappointing imo, especially compared to the previous one. Nadeko felt really generic and her back story of how she just happened to fall for her friend's brother and kept liking him all the time is very convenient.

Koyomi is too kind. He shouldn't have went through the trouble of trying to stop the snakes from going back to those who summoned the curse. It is just like what they said, "What goes around, comes around".

"And if, there were so many people in the world, there had to be someone living an interesting life that wasn't ordinary. I was sure of it. Why wasn't that person me?"

Ehh, I want more Senjougahara and Hanekawa-chan, I didn't liked this snake-girl. Also, i think it's not good idea with introduce even more girls than now... I hope in next arcs shouldn't be another new characters. But I liked the anime and i even don't think about drop it.

Clearly you don't understand the inside jokes of the show. Honestly, you will just end up being the one that loses out in the end.


I understand the jokes fine. The series is simply bad. There's barely any development or progress each episode because the show wastes time with pointless dialogue. No, the dialogue isn't clever or funny, it's just dumb. The show hardly has any animation. Mostly eye shots and random splash screens. The story is a harem in disguise. It doesn't matter that he has a girl friend when they don't act the part. She's only a girlfriend by title. The CG backgrounds are tacky and distracting. It doesn't look natural at all. All the characters are flat and wooden. I don't care about a single one of them. The worst thing about the show, it's boring. I find myself bored during most of the episode.

Bakemonogatari is the most overrated show this season.

Wow, I don't think Araragi has a single malicious bone in his body. He tries to save everyone, even the people who bring about the evil stuff, and even if its all at his expense. Even if he knows he can't, he still comes close to death trying. Araragi's becoming one of my favorite protagonists.

Oh yeah, and that opening is super-cute and boppin'! Love it.

This episode was ok.

I just went to check the tv version afterwards to see what people were complaining about and daaaaamn they improved the animation so much in the bluray. It was a good decision to not watch this back when it aired.

The snake ritual/fight was so stressful, I was on the edge of my seat.

As always, the art was really interresting, I liked those random ''widescreen'' moment.

Nadeko is cute, though, I don't understand why the girl that liked the boy who asked her was mad to Nadeko, I mean, it is to her advantage, no?

The ending was kinda sad. Sure, he cursed her, but I don't think he meant to kill her. But a curse always have perverse effect, I guess it's the price to pay.

Nice plot twist on Nadeko's snake curse. Although I was expecting to see maybe more Senjougahara, but I guess she's irrelevant right now. Oh well poor guy will have to deal with Karma. You play with fire you'll get burned and in this case the guy cursed Nadeko, and that one snake will come back to haunt him.

Yippee!! Tsubasa's arc is next. I've been waiting for her arc since she first appeared.

worst arc so far!!! it was painfully boring, nothing special, and simply pointless.

for a show that is character / dialogue driven, the characters are kinda boring, except for Hitagi.. but well she doesn't get much screen time lately.

I don't care for the characters, i don't like them, I dont hate them.. they can die, they can live, i simply dont care! and that's bad for this kinda show..

I am 10 episodes in so I will bare with it till the end.. but I won't follow the sequels :(

Snake constrictor ... is a curse born from spite and made from a weird spell!! An amateur can came out with this curse!? ... (but its just an amateur after all.. edit : shit a revelation it wasn't just one but two!! Damn people why you do this kind of things!!)
The Ritual begins!!
Nadeko's flashbacks was nice!!
Damn Araragi !! you should know better!! (well.. he is an idiot sometimes..)
A Revelation!!
Araragi on a desperate situation!! Those Snakes are stubborn!!
Violent but coward!! a true fact for snakes!!
Snake venom is twice as powerful as a serious illness !! be careful with that!!
Kanbaru was pretty good on the role even if it was a harsh one.
Araragi just have a strong tendency to save anyone from anything .. its not your fault though. Because its good to save anyone but don't over exaggerate your limits.
Nadeko snake ends.
Good ending at the least.
