HOLY FUCK. This episode really was surprising. Didn't expect at all that Nadeko would snap and the voice was too <3.

I'm starting to love Nadeko now.

Probably my favorite episode so far. That whole outburst was a real nice change of character for a quiet character like Nadeko. Once Kuchinawa mentioned the extra wish, I knew immediately that Nadeko would try to wish for a relationship with Koyomi. I wonder how it would be impossible as Koyomi said, since Kuchinawa is a god after all.
I have a feeling next episode will use the idea of "love is something you have to earn; you can't just wish for it, not even from a god."

I think I could relate with the discussion between Nadeko and Tsukihi. HAHA.
Nadeko and KanaHana on rage mode. Did not see that coming. But it was a great surprise.
That cliffhanger end. Shit just got real.

Nadeko's snap was beyond awesome, has to be one of the best scenes ever. Absolutely perfect in both Japanese and English.

I also liked the snake's reaction to Nadeko after the rant; did anyone else get the feeling that even the snake god was thinking "crap, what the hell did I grab hold of"? While the opening scene made it seem like the snake had control over Nadeko, this episode it felt like he knew he was losing control, so I am starting to have the feeling that the opposite is going to be true. Could be wrong, it has been over a month since the opening, but if that is how Nadeko responded to a minor annoyance, imagine the overflow of roughly 8 years of emotions coming out of once. Old snake god is going to regret ever thinking that possessing Nadeko was a good idea.

A nice resolution would be Tsukihi coming to the rescue. Unrequited love really can't be fixed by the object of that love, rather this is the territory of the best friend. Having forced Nadeko to out herself, it would only be justice for her to help her in the end.

I haven't read the novels so I have no idea if this will be the case, just stating my preference, though of course I am sure that after I watch what will happen I will go, ah, that was the best route.

just watched the part till the intro...

oh my god, i can see her snapping soon o_o

EDIT: after watching the whole thing, 2 things

1. nadeko just went rage-mode and spilled everything she thought of herself and her surrounding in the school. well, i do not know whether this is good or not

2. the words from koyomi at the ending got me - and her probably too - really hard...
but on the other hand i cant see him breaking up with gahara.

LOL. TSUKIHI WAS SCARY AS HELL.

He cut Nadeko's bangs like no problem. I wonder if they are still friends.

Rofl, HanaKana rage.. Gold stuff.

Finally a confrontation between Koyomi and Nadeko. Lol at Nadeko getting addicted to that porn magazines.

Tsukihi is awesome. I'm glad she's finally getting some screentime (the balance between the Fire Sisters in Nisemonogatari was ridiculous). Not digging the new haircut. I'm fine with short, not messy. Also so glad Nadeko is getting fully fleshed out. I thought she was fucking useless in Bakemonogatari, but the snake guy is giving her a new flavor. AND HOW CAN I TALK ABOUT THIS EPISODE WITHOUT PRAISING HER GODDESS-TIER VOICE ACTRESS, THAT WAS FLAWLESS. She was already one of the most aesthetically pleasing VAs to listen to imo, showcasing her extreme versatility only makes her more godlike.

I honestly hate Gahara's dere personality change so this wouldn't completely balance it out, but please please please let Nadeko stay more outspoken!

edit: ah, bedhead. the bane of all those who prefer to shower once at night. Sorry for criticizing your hair Tsukihi <3

There is no question that Hanazawa has developed so much as a seiyuu since her Bake days. And the sakuga is as great as I would imagine.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

This was a nice episode it started out with a nice conversation between Tsukihi and Sengoku about Araragi and his girlfriend.
And afterwards the hair cut which made Sengoku loose it, well if you keep everything to yourself it has to come out sometime and it usually is pretty violent like in this case.
And then the cliffhanger, things got interesting for sure.

Awesome episode! Encountering Tsukihi again and watching her directly taking Nadeko's habit of averting herself from her problems was quite interesting since we know the reason why Nadeko likes Araragi.

But what I definately liked the most was Nadeko's honest delinquent moment; everything in this episode was good but HanaKana's voice acting definately earns the award in this episode.

Lol with the part where Nadeko starts reading Araragi's porn magazine xD

And what a cliffhanger... I guess this week will pass on with lots of anticipation from my part xD

Great episode and this arc is pretty good, but man, I miss Senjougahara.
Anyway, was Nadeko referring to Hanekawa or Senjougahara when they were talking about about the perfect match for Araragi?
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Lmao Nadeko lost all her shit on that sensei.

The ending was great, the reason he made it there so fast is because he felt someone touched his porn.

Kuchinawa-san is voiced by:

And they were referring to his girlfriend who is Senjougahara. Hanekawa was shot down a while ago though from screen time you can be forgiven for thinking it might be Hanekawa.
