I love everything about this series but I hate the fact that now I have to wait an episode a week again. I need my fill of Mayoi groping dammit.

Hate senjougahara's new hair. Hoping Ahragi gets back soon cause right now, it's a tit fest... which aren't my thing. And DAMNIT they brought back the confusing kanji flashes! I'm a fast reader, but not that fast.
I give it a solid meh, so far...

It's Byakko from DS2!

Senjougahara is like a different person now, when she was crying I couldn't believe it was her. Not complaining tho, she's da bess regardless how she acts.

5/5 because of the Gahara fan service.

Somewhere on the middle, I almost mistaken Senjougahara with Kanbaru, especially when she asks for bath for two.

Don't make me laugh. Please tell, what PLOT are you talking about? A series based on character study doesn't have a consistent plot IMO. On the note, yes, I have no intensions of being a dick, I just act I do.

I was waiting for this and finally it started, this was amazing, Hitagi showed some real hard emotions in the episode it was pretty cool and god she got undressed (she is hawt). Seeing Hachikuji without her bag was kind of weird but again she still so cute


That is the show im taking as biggest hit of the summer (well it should be) and im looking forward all the other episode whatever is happening.

and it seems that Hanekawa is still Trying to Shoulder the burden, makes me think she didnt really learn anything from the Tsubasa Cat arc. But i still like Tsubasa > Senjougahara for some reason

Fuck yes time for another season of Monogatari! Ooh the first arc is gonna be about Hanekawa with Araragi not even present. Makes me wonder what he's doing. And ohh snap at her not even hesitating to answer that question at the end.

Senjogahara I miss your long hair so much :(. But I am liking the change in Hanekawa though.

"If you must go to school, you need to defeat me first."

Ah, Monogatari Series. Very familiar. Like an old friend. Pretty amazing to witness firsthand how well Tsubasa and Hitagi get along now. Their banter is a dynamic we've never really seen much of before (except for LN readers, of course).

Nisemonogatari already previewed me this, but still... Hitagi's beautiful long hair... ;_; She's also no longer the ice queen she used to be - the not-so-gradual change in personality is quite incredible to behold. Changes aside, I still love her. Still Monogatari's best girl in my book.

Also, IIRC this is the first Koyomi-free episode. We've always seen things from his perspective, now it's Tsubasa's point of view. Almost weird not to hear Kamiya Hiroshi's voice as Koyomi mentally narrating events.

Wow, it's back! Was missing the dialogues, style and backgrounds
I forgot how stiff Senjougahara sounds, but acts the opposite
Tiger vs Cat seems very interesting and without Araragi to the rescue

Hanekawa & Senjougahara together is really epic

All right! Belatedly, that was awesome.

I'd been holding off watching this as I find this show, this world, to be so immersive that it requires a lot of energy to watch. They're as rewarding as they are taxing however so it's all worth it. But it's not something I want to watch too lightly.

The moment that I fell back into the world was when Hachikuji was recounting how she'd searched for Araragi, finding yet a new way to say his name. I can't help but feel when I watch this that the seiyuu have a lot of fun with their roles. They're off to a great start.

I have to say to seeing Senjougahara so worried and willing to help out is something unexpected.
Hanekawa sleeping in such a place was indeed not a good idea of her i fully agree with Senjougahara that girls should not sleep alone in abandoned buildings.


Hitagi's behaviour did surprised me as well at first, but it does makes sense after seeing just what kind of method she used in Nisemonogatari in order to keep Araragi safe from Kaiki. Knocking him out on the open street and chaining/handcuffing him down in the cram school was a rather radical and desperate act on such a short notice, so it's not hard to imagine why she got so carried away when she couldn't find Hanekawa until some hours have passed.

Aversa said:

We knew Hanekawa's living conditions weren't very good how can she even manage living in the hallway like that?
There is a limit to how much patience a person can have.
And being woken up by a cleaning robot doesn't sound very appealing either.


Yeah, the beginning part of the episode and the scene regarding the cram school was more unsettling in this sense than the episode itself (and Hanekawa's narration, of course) would let it on. It's one thing she's able to describe her "home" so casually despite that house being anything but the home she implies on with her narration, but living in the cram school being a better option to her than staying with her parents is another thing. Especially if one takes into account her narration and behaviour didn't even registered it as an actual attempt to stay away from her parents, instead it was just an ordinary option to her. She did acknowledged it to Hitagi later that it was a hasty decision on her part due to the shock of seeing her house getting burned down, but it's easy to see that this is just an (unintentional) excuse on her part.

Finally, I'm on this season now, and it looks like Koyomi is not in the first episode, oh well, at least Hanekawa and Senjougahara are here, but it seems like Senjougahara's personality is different? Also, I wonder how they plan on dealing with that tiger without Koyomi being present.

I honestly don't get this anime. Dropped the first season long ago, due to its long winded conversations about, really unnecessary talks. I even fell asleep watching one of the episode where the characters spend half of the time talking and talking. A lot of events are also really random aka not making any sense. The first episode of this season is the same. Here is what I get: whenever something happens, the characters retell the whole story to each other, and repeat it over and over again. I mean, come on, I the audience already get what is going on! Plus, it spends around 1/3 of the episode talking about this guy Araragi and deciding if the girls should take shower together. Ehhh.... what is the point of it? And what is the point of commenting on every single remark coming from Senjougahara?

Though people might find Senjougahara's remarks to be intellectual and funny, I don't. She was just speaking out the obvious things and adding her own interpretations to it, which is quite annoying due to her almighty attitude whenever she tilts her head, acting like a know-it-all type, despite relying on the male leads for help. That is the second reason I dropped the first season. Despite that, the art style is pretty good, but the storyline is like mehh...wonder how it receives such good rating.

So glad this show is back. But i have one MAJOR problem. I don't like how Gahara is so god damn friendly to Hanekawa!? What happened to her tsundere side? Why is she so god damn friendly? Hopefully she is still her usually self when she is with Koyomi ( I have only seen episode 1 ). Am I the only one who doesn't like this personality change? Thoughts?

Very good start to the series. I now fully understand why Araragi ran away crying from Hanekawa's house in the Nekomonogatari series. the poor girl has no bedroom or even a proper bed. At least Harry had a cupboard underneath the stairs!

1. Gahara is more to kuudere rather than tsundere.
2. She respects Hanekawa and did want to become a friend to her.

5/5

Oh well all the han already said, there is him and the other two ... three, I would say, han undergone brainwashing? O_o Notwithstanding my doubt, the plot and also the narrative different from the usual make it enjoyable and intriguing l 'atmosphere.
Drawings and animations that make me sad, do not give anything intrigues of nudity or anything, but the quality seen in Nekomonogatari Kuro, here is gone! D:
Scenarios always beautiful, but only if you talk about Monogatari otherwise would not be to my liking being my highest standard! For me only those PA Works and nothing else! ASD
