| 5/5 Back headaches weblog Monogatari, try to follow so many dialogues and articulated at the same time keep their eyes fixed Sulo screen to watch the action too, becomes challenging. Start very sweet thanks to the narrative that clears the past, with a nice summary of what has happened before Neko, I was afraid of having to review all the backlog! ^ ^ " The plot made for most of the dialogue, I like it! But there are the inevitable and pleasant interludes of Araragi, however I hope that always returns the action that has made Bake, in my opinion, the best arc of the saga! : D |
 |
| The f*ck Araragi? Lick a wound? Seriously? |
 |
Tennouji_ said: Holy shit grabbing Tsukihi's breast like a boss and not giving a damn about Karen taking her top clothes off. Surely Koyomi is badass. Love the fanservice here. ;D |
 "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?" - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part V [/center] |
| Lmao, golden. I have some deja vu though, with that Hanekawa and Araragi scene. |
| Can't believe there are seriously people complaining about how the story is told. People will literally find whatever they can to bash on a series, no matter how small it is, rather than to look for things they enjoyed. Like other people mentioned, the random visuals helps the flow of the story smoother and is what makes it unique from other similar series. Again, like others have said, if it weren't for that, the Monogatari series would be no where near as enjoyable, but rather, just another "boring" typical generic anime. I believe that SHAFT did incredible just with that criticizing them for how they portrayed this series is just silly, I know for a fact that I would not enjoy this series anywhere near as much if it weren't for the way it is right now. Back to the episode, glad that you can still feel the same level of enjoyment as Bake and Nise, can't wait to see the rest. |
 |
| god damn araragi, lost your chance |
| me gusta full of randomness as usual but damn id grab 'em boobs too |
  |
| Pretty fucking boring. 1/5 |
 |
| I liked both new OP and ED! And his sisters are still brilliant whenever they show themselves. Karen-chan and her sweat, I lol'd :D And they even animated her boob physics afterwards :)) Tsukihi's boob grab, H-chan boob fascination... this episode really was all about boobs, right? :D Those poses Hanekawa did during their conversation... she really had some sexy silhouette sometime. And I was trolled in thinking him as pervert when he asked for wound licking, yet it was something as simple as saliva's blood's healing potential of vampires (but yeah, he's pervert still :D) But he do loves her even when his sister tells him otherwise, right? :) Those family problems are tough. It seems Hanekawa's background will be very dark indeed. Pretty good start for this miniarc. |
| Buying naughty books sooothes the soul. EP 1. Plot: After a lengthy discussion on love and oppai with Tsukihi, Koyomi realizes he lusts after Hanekawa and that makes him frustrated. Been there done that. On his quest for the sacred texts, he meets Hanekawa and notices that there was moment of abuse at her home. Man did that disappoint and make my naughty thoughts disappear. Character: This is a prequel to the Bakemonogatari so Koyomi is more hyper/perverted? than he is later. He's still a riot though when it comes to comebacks and he might actually have a weird way of tact considering he switched from a topic Hanekawa didn't want to speak of to wanting to lick her wounds...man that was like WTF? PS: Oh Vampire blood and saliva heals things...still a WTF moment. Hanekawa is a headache. I can understand not wanting to cause trouble/make a scene as part of the Japanese upbringing but my conscious can't let this kinda thing be. Tsukihi and Karen wonderfully display their characters when asked about love. Animation/sound: Melancholy is the best way to describe the OP. We know how its gonna end but it still resolves around a bad time for Hanekawa. The ED is a nice little thing but the tune still carries that bit of a sad feeling. 4/5. Nice intro and it still follows the Bakemonogatari formula. Have the person from the previous season start it off. But this only works if you watch Nekomonogatari Black after Nisemonogatari like me. ANd love those black pantsu on Hanekawa. ANd Yum Yum Karen-chan and Tsukihi-chan. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| BUT A TOUCH PANEL IS COMPLETELY FLAT!!! XDDD Great episode, it's good to see fire sisters as main characters again and my beloved Tsukihi is so yummy in her yukata om-nom-nom. They've just pointed out one of main points of wincest here and I liked how she presented her boobs to him, I guess she just wanted to test him but not that she said but what he thinks about incest, to find out her chances to seduce him ;) He succeeded XD Also she reveals that her bf is like him if he exists in the first place who the hell needs dirty mag having Tsukihi as his fake little sister?! |

| wrong explanation |
 |
| Another season of monogatari series, finally. |
| sup |
| This was one hell of a weird conversation between a brother and sister and I was shocked to see his other sister taking off her top in front of Araragi |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Rewatched the OP for this just now, and for some reason it felt very "Bond Opening Credits" like |
| A good start, with good dialogues and a little more ... -- Un buen arranque, con buenos diálogos y un poco más... |
| Wait, this happens before Bakemonogatari, where did Karen hide these babies in the first two season? O_O Anyway that's Karen for you, gets the least screentime, still the best girl <3 |
| Great episode and a nice start! |
| You know, there are times I wish Araragi and Hanekawa were actually together...they have this clear sexual tension every time they speak. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Ohhh the days of Araragi being so in love with Hanekawa, though I know he's still in love with her. Referencing to what Araragi said to Mayoi in Nisemonogatari. Of course, there'll always be a scene of Araragi being a hentai and molesting one of his little sisters. Haha. And of course a Karen fanservice. Goddamnit. I was watching this episode in public. I feel judging eyes surrounding me rn. Lmfao. Good episode and Araragi celebrating when Hanekawa said he can do one thing to her. Hahaha. You ecchi, Araragi. |
     "Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out." Captain Levi, 2014 (／^-^)／☆♪  ♪☆＼(^０^＼) |
| To think Araragi felt this strongly for Hanekawa, and then what, like two weeks later, he was dating and seemingly in love with a completely different girl. I guess the show describes it as Araragi lusts for Hanekawa, but feels actual love for Senjougahara? Hmmmm |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Araragi lusts after every female that looks pretty and is within arms' reach. He's a total horndog who even lusts after his own 'fire sisters'. Shameless pervert is Araragi! |
| Tsukihi's "yandere" tendencies are so fun to watch, at the expense of Koyomi, of course :P And I love the opposite answers of how the Fire Sisters answered the love question. 'You can't confuse love with lust!' vs "If you look at someone and think you want to have their kid" LOL. Also, I gotta appreciate Shaft's ability to animate boob physics ;) The situation with Hanekawa is really interesting. I really wanna know more about her family situation and what happened to her parents. Must protect!! All that build-up for a perverted request, and it actually turned out to be pretty cute. Points to Koyomi!! |
| Wait I'm confused.. How come the conversation with Hanekawa was exactly the same as in Bake when she was hit? That just seems really odd. |
 |
| Araragi has no shame lol, flipping the skirt of a girl he fall in love with. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| So from my understanding, this four-episode arc will be focusing on the initial Sawarineko encounter. I have come to the conclusion after Araragi's conversation with Tsukihi that a) Tsukihi is way more nuts than I thought she was and b) Araragi is just horny and doesn't actually love Hanekawa romantically. I think it is safe to assume he values her as a friend, but not as a lover. Araragi making the split-second decision to grope his sister was hilarious. All of Karen's sweat was disgusting. Hanekawa getting hit by her father is very irritating, especially with her trying to protect him. Araragi using his one wish to heal her wound was really sweet. She was clearly expecting him to wish for something more perverse. |
| While Tsuhiki's answer is complex af and not at her age, Karen's answer is just simple. They're really different. It seems like because of Tsuhiki's answer, Araragi ended up thinking he didn't love Hanekawa. I actually don't think he loves Hanekawa either. This part I might actually know more about Hanekawa and I'm in for it. The new OP and ED is good as always. OP may be in my top 3 of the series till now. |
 |
| Enjoyable episode!~ The convo with Tsuhiki was funny (and she makes some of the silliest faces) and the later half with Hanekawa was excellent |
"I used to think it was possible to become a family even if you weren't blood-related."  |
 |
| Firstly, I got to say there is a reason for the recommended order to watch the series if this is your first time (which is in my case). So coming to this sequel from Nisemonogatari match the story very good and leave very less confusion for newbies. Anyways, I liked the first ep. A great dialogue he had with his little sister. Never took him for that kind of man, but hey this was before In Nisemonogatari he isn't that open about his feeling. Maybe he will change again. Nonetheless, it suits the series very good with the plot in mind. Funny to think that they had a 10-15 min. conversation about his sexual lusts. LOL! In addition, a nice guidance about if you have fallen in love with someone. For anyone who has fallen in love can probably relate to this dude, though it ended in a humorous way. Ofc. the lolicon/sistercon brother got grab them boobs His older sister had a more epic answer. If you want to have their kids, yes, then you are in love. hahaha! Poor sisters to have such horny brother, though we saw some great ecchi shots That girl is a man(girl) of culture to just strip nude without any resistance in front of his big brother. hahah Nice to see Tsubasa again. And finally we see an arc about her family issues. I think it was mentioned either in Bakemonogatari or in Kuro. Seems like Koyomi is still obsessed with pantsus I loved the how the ep. ended. They are a cute couple. He got one wish and he did that for her. He is really sweet. They could become a great couple if Senjougahara weren't introduced. Unless this become a real harem, the chances for Tsubasa is really low. Anyways, we got to know more about her issues. Maybe we will see the cat again. This is going to be good. |

| Talk about love is interesting.. Even if I wouldn't necessary agree with it's logic.. Like, wanting to be together with another person?.. Let's say, person is introverted, and don't really wants to be together with another person.. Is he not loving?.. In the end, it's still interesting.. As it's alright, maybe even, I'd say, admirable, if someone sees her/his love, if he/she wants to be with the other person.. Hanekawa doesn't have any family, huh.. I'm not reading those flashing messages, though.. If creators can't deliver their messages without some things like that - it's their inability, with which I'm not gonna deal.. I'm not gonna read them.. ;p And in the end Araragi asked for that?.. Isn't it dangerous to lick wounds anyway?.. Overall, after watching Kizu trilogy, and now continuing here.. Series remain with nice girls.. But honestly more annoying things are being added.. Now it's flashing messages.. I might want to lower the score, as I much more enjoy things that anime do in other ways, really.. You don't have to flash messages to deliver some messages.. Lewd things aren't done in even that hot way.. If anything, Araragi is just more anxious about everything, and lots of useless things are being spit out.. I like my messages that anime can give.. I like my nice girls like Hanekawa.. I like my lewd time.. But I don't really like how this anime delivers these things, to be honest.. I like things themselves.. But how anime delivers them - is annoying.. In the end, I think that lewd comedy like OniAi, or some other shows do lewd comedy much more enjoyable, than this anxious thing I'm getting here.. As well as I like my deep character, with many of thoughts, and anime, which can deliver message.. But not do it like this, where the message is by itself, and characters are by themselves.. Cinematography being all over the place is only distracting as well, not creating anything, but being distracting most of the times.. Only half of it being meaningful, and another half is too fast most of the time as well.. That is, anyway, how I personally feel about it.. If anyone enjoys this - fine by me, I'm glad you're enjoying, what you are enjoying, to be honest.. So in the end.. Feeling about this anime is.. I like some of the content of the anime.. I don't like, how it's done.. So of course I value more some other anime series who do such topics, but just in another way.. |
| First episode of Neko is off to a good start, but then again anything with Koyomi's sisters is a plus in my book, so points for that lol. The OP and ED aren't too bad, and the rest of the OST is pretty good too. I like how Koyomi asked Tsukihi about love advice after she tried to crowbar him, and Karen just casually going on a 42 km run actually is pretty fitting for her character lol. |
 |
| So this is just a backstory on Hanekawa pretty good episode seeing Hanekawa panties damn I WANNA SEE MORE! Anyway it was a good ecchi episode love it. |
 |
| Great episode! I will always love the interactions between Araragi and the fire sisters lmao. Tsukihi said some pretty good points about love, while Karen was simple as fuck. At the end of the day love is whatever we want it to be lmao. I mean who wouldn't want to grope and fondle Hanekawa's humungous honkers lmao. What happened to Araragi's feelings for Hanekawa though, for him to be scared of her and hate cats. |
 |
| Wow, what a banger to start the season. I'd call it the best season premiere of the series, what I've seen of it at least. Scenes with Tsukihi, Karen, Hanekawa were all hilarious and/or impactful. Tsukihi acknowledging people don't really know what her character's like, Karen's floodgate warning levels of sweat, which, by the way, hilarious sound design on her lifting her top and putting it over her shoulder, hahaha, lastly, Hanekawa dealing with the pent sexual desires of Araragi, only for her to have a heavy talk with him which ends in his mind racing all over the place thanks to his desires, haha. Seems the season will show how Araragi's character started as this sexually frustrated teen, however evolved to become largely frustrated with people he knows being dealt bad situations which is where his helpfulness starts. As expected, incredible directing the whole time, awesome music (new ending I really like, too), a bunch of stylish, funny shots. Sudden Ashita no Joe shot was heaps funny but the shot before it too was a hilarious contrast to Nisemonogatari's hug scene. A hug from Karen could shatter Araragi's ribs but a punch right in the face did nothing to Araragi's skull. Karen has been shaping up as one of my favourites, honestly, well, largely in the previous arc but seeing her more here has me continue to appreciate her presence, haha, really enjoyable character. Overall, excited to watch the rest of Nekomonogatari: Kuro, which I'll probably finish tonight! Hasta la vista!  |
 |
| I was wondering how the hell he fell in love but it turns out the boy was just horny(read: sexually frustrated). Timeline's most likely between Kizu and Bake. |
 |
| Well i already guessed in Bake that is was just lusting on Hanekawa and don't really love her. I am glad that he in fact loves Hitagi and end up with her because she is a way more interesting character than Hanekawa who is pretty uninteresting and flat despite her "assets". By the way Karen is a complete chad with her answer to Araragi's question. Op is a vibe ut the Ed is rather meh. |
| Wow perfect slumbers is a very nice catchy op. |
