Lol this episode was funny, mostly because of Araragi coming close to a few calls. And the weird scenery at the underground mines made it thrilling as well.

A lot of interesting camera shots episode as well too. The OP song is adorable :3

That was probably the best portrayal of Kanbaru's house so far. Neither Second Season nor Hanamonogatari can compare.

Tsukihi fell for the deceit pretty easily. But once again, it wasn't really Araragi that came up with it, but one of his close companions, which in this case was Kanbaru.

Serious stuff incoming soon.

Platinum Disco is the OP for this episode! Nice to see Tsukihi in this episode. Kanbaru's collection of books will never fail to impress me.

How and where did you watch this so early? It's been over a day since you posted and I still can't find it available anywhere. Not just subbed, I can't even find the raw.

Sorry if I'm being stupid.

This show is being distributed through an app(hence the low quality on all episodes), so somebody needs to rip it from there before it gets uploaded anywhere else. Also, subs so far have been adapted from the english fan translation of the novel and after next week's episode those will have been exhausted.

Glorious return of Platinum Disco :3 Tsukihi is really scary when she enters in a tantrum. Kanbaru's house will never cease to surprise me.

Tsukihi was easily deceived... or it was Araragi? xD

Kanbaru's house was the highlight of this episode for me. Kanbaru and Hachikuji are my favorites.

This show needs more Platinum Disco. Lots more Platinum Disco. Other than that, I can't really say much of this episode, Kanbaru's house aside, actually impressed me. Even for these side stories, this was really quite dull.

LOL DAT Op song XD Platinum Disco XD XD
intersting episode overall. i like the case in this episode too even thought it was a little bit similiar from the previous episode :)
i think Tea Club member, Tsukihi's friends ignore her explanation because it wouldn't be interesting if the case ended like that :D people like interesting things y'know :D
even thought they know the fact, but they still doesn't want to admit it because it wouldn't be interesting at all. that is what i thought :)
i don't think araragi warp things up in this episode. Kanbaru did it :D. she is kinda smart to make that kind of lie XD
i wonder who will make an appearence next week....

A possibility would be Ougi and Nadeko appearing according to the timeline chart from another site, Koyomi Mountain might be next and we might get Ougi's opening song "Decent Black" from Owarimonogatari. Or having Nadeko's opening song from Otorimonogatari ("Mousou Express").

There are girls that have yet to be featured. Next is Koyomi Mountain with Ougi. Then we've got Koyomi Torus with Shinobu, Koyomi Seed with Yotsugi, Koyomi Nothing with Kagenui and lastly Koyomi Dead with Izuko.

Koyomi and Tsukihi talk about how she found proof to convince the other members of the tea club that there isn't a ghost, but that they don't believe her.

He talks to Kanbaru about it, and gives the hypothesis that they might be saying that for the sake of Tsukihi, due to her taking extra snacks from there.

Because someone kept derailing other discussion threads by arguing with me because I dislike the Monogatari series, all the while accusing me of being the one derailing and going off-topic despite me posting related to the episode and not starting arguments with others.

Recapping the episode is pretty much the only way I can post anything on the episode discussion threads without that happening.

Well, no. If you don't like it, just say you don't like it and who cares if someone responds to you? You could be mature and not respond if you feel someone is targeting you for a fight. If you respond, you are just as bad as them, to be honest because you are helping derail the conversation.

Or if you really are worried about someone challenging you for your opinion, then just don't post. Super simple.

You don't NEED to post a negative message if you hate a series and just want to rate it down, you're just rating it down anyway because you don't like it so there really isn't a conversation worth having with ya about it and your posts by that point are really unimportant. Your posts could honestly just be seen as deliberately challenging the fans. Imagine if you LOVED a show and every single comments section you saw the same guy going "This was shit, 1/10." Everyone gets to a point where they go "Why are you even here? You are just picking a fight."

I don't like AoT that much. I'm gonna watch the new season because I watch pretty much everything. I'm not gonna post on every single forum to say "Another shit episode, the characters suck and the twists are obvious" because that would just be baiting people who are there to post about how much they like the show. It just is pointless and childish.

Would you go to a football game and just sit there going "FOOTBALL IS SHIT. THIS GAME SUCKS. WHY DOES ANYONE LIKE THIS? IT SUCKS!!!!" Of course you wouldn't. That'd be dumb. That's what you're doing here if you keep going to a show you don't like and complaining about it every time. I wouldn't blame someone for challenging you if you were doing that.

I get wanting to give your opinion, but it's already been given, so your points are irrelevant after that. I don't like Schwarezmarken this season and I think I posted in like the first episode or two to say my opinion but I haven't posted in the next six. Why? Because my opinion hasn't changed. If I posted the same message 6 more times and someone called me an idiot for it, they'd be perfectly justified.

Another good example is a anime reviewer I watch called Digibro. He hates SAO so he does reviews nearly on every episode complaining about every point. A lot of people have just started going "Look, we get it, why are you still complaining about this? We get you don't like it." And those are his FANS saying that. People don't see a point in the same point being made constantly, especially if it's a negative one.

You might be like me and just watch everything, regardless of if you think its good or not. If you keep finding yourself in fights though because you keep complaining about the same show whilst forcing yourself to watch it, it's probably more your issue than everyone else's issue. That's coming from personal experience and the dozen fights I've had with people over Code Geass.

Well yes, that's precisely why I stopped saying my opinion and just started recapping the episodes, because even I told people to just PM me if they wanted to reply to me rather than derailing the thread, flame wars still started because the same guy blatantly ignored that and kept beating a dead horse even though no one else was doing so. Even though he was doing the same things he was accusing me of with other shows and complaining about people liking them, which at least I wasn't doing. And that's also why I reviewed the show, so I could critique it in a more concise way, because I have more-or-less the same opinion on each season.

But this is off-topic, if you want to continue talking about this, PM me.

I think it was the first time when we see Tsukihi with ponytails. Really like Karen and Tsukihi, so it's refreshing to see them back. But as for the episode i think it was nothing special, liked how Koyomi again casually talked about deceiving his sister.

Nope; I dislike the Monogatari anime, while the light novels are okay, and I watch the anime because I might as well see how they adapt the remainder of it.

It's not like it wastes more than a few minutes of my time anyway.

A few minutes of your time? The total amount of all the seasons is a lot more than a few minutes. If I dislike an adaptation I don't see it, no matter how much I love (and you just say "they are okay") the original source. Life it's too short, bro.

It's because everytime I start to watch a show, even if I drop it, I still want to finish watching it.

I said a few minutes, because whenever I watch the show, I always skip or fast-forward through the shots of abstract scenery, close-ups and slow-motion scenes, all of which make up 50% of the content of the show yet don't progress the story, so any given episode doesn't take much more than 10 minutes to watch, and the movie took not even 30 minutes.

It doesn't have anything to do with the content of the show itself, or the dialogue, as Katanagatari has the same type of dialogue, yet has substantially better pacing despite every episode being 45 minutes long.

As reações da Tsukihi são as melhores e me parece que o quarto da Kanbaru piora a cada episódio, qual será a próxima comparação? Um abismo?

Another decent episode, nothing much, nothing less. I liked it!

Tsukihi's reactions are the best and it seems to me that Kanbaru's room gets worse each episode, what will be the next comparison? An abyss?
