| OMG I LOVE THIS EPISODE, IT WAS SOOO HILLARIOUS THAT ''BATTLE" AGAINST THE GIRL KKKKKK. New OP is so cute! And i am loving this dialogues... Awesome anime. And this refferences about various animes... |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| wow that was super fucking boring, all three episodes with their stupid monologue s. things seemed to be going somewhere at the end of the second one, but now back to this. and it's not like i don't like the slow pace or the weird style, i watched inland empire in one sitting! definetely dropping this one. |
 |
| They talk too much lmao. Senjougahara is funny. What's going on with Mayoi in the last scene? |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Man, I really don't like tsundere types like Hitagi. These verbal abuse dialogue exchanges with Koyomi are almost unbearable. At least the scene with Mayoi was funny. |
 |
| Lol, felt pretty random. The intro had me laughing. |
| This is the most autistic thing I ever seen in anime |
| :v |
| Senjougahara still being a *****, I thought she went 180 from the previous episode. To me all she want is confess her love to him. But she take a long way around, and in an irritating way. So it seems Araragi has enhanced viewing ability. And I'm wondering why this anime is not labeled as Comedy or Slice of Life. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Enjoyable episode. Araragi and Senjoughara have really interesting chemistry. It was nice seeing them go back and forth. Araragi throwing the girl was also brilliant, as was Senjoughara's reaction. I still have no idea what the fuck this show is about, but at least I think I am enjoying it? |

| The only fictional characters whose voices I'd be okay with hearing for the rest of my natural life would be Diana Burnwood and Senjougahara. Like, every line from Senjou is pure gold! She also dresses quite nicely in this episode. Speaking of this episode, it is even better during a re-watch. Now is the introduction of Hachikuji!  |
| This was a good ep. Senjougahara is such a tsundere. I see she is affected by him and wants to be his girlfriend. Somehow she can't say it directly. That's why one luvs tsundere girls. She goes around the bush, but in the end she reveal her intention. She is a cute girl, funny too. Funny how she mock Araragi through half of the ep. We get to see a loli girl, Mayoi, which has lost her way. Never seen a season that change an op. after the 3rd ep. That's just amazing. I am glad the op. relates with the characters in the season. It's makes it very unique. Anyways, funny how she and Araragi gets into a fight and he K.O her out. Poor girl. Very funny how he is proud of it and Senjougahara doesn't want to get in touch with him. I can truly understand her and why she is so embarrassed being near him. Hahhah Next time we will see more about Mayoi's case and the snail that is around her. The comedy was on top in this ep. |

BellCranl said: Was there any mean to the dialogue they had for the entire episode in the park, did I miss something? I'm not sure if I'm stupid or if this episode was... Ofc. it had an impact. It shows what kind of impact Araragi's action had on Senjougahara. She used to be a lonely person who were always alone, but now that Araragi has helped her with her long-life wish she is attracted to him and actually want to be his girlfriend. Did you watch this and the previous ep.? To all people who wants to see action and fights, this is not that kind of anime. This more like a seinen anime rather than shounen. Something I am very glad for. It's more like a talking and conversation anime rather than action with killing and fighting. If anyone expect there will be a lot of action, you are totally wrong. And if that's what satisfy you guys, this is definitely not the anime for you guys. |

DarK_BalteR said: Meh, okay episode I suppose. Koyomi is starting to show his true colors with constant chest and lips shots. Nice to see Hitagi in casual wear she looked more attractive than usual. I kind of got bored with the endless talk hoping something interesting will happen. I bet they had fun riding all those rides. Where were they anyway? it was like they were in some random endless white space with a map that says: • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY • NOT GUILTY • GUILTY • GUILTY What's up with that? Not sure if it's the answer, but I interpret it as if Araragi is guilty for knocking out Mayoi, the loli girl. Since there are a ratio of 9:5 guilty it can be seen as that the action of Araragi was wrong and hence he is guilty. The "not guilty" points can be interpret as that somehow his action can be justified since Mayoi was very rude and went on his nerves, so it's a bit understandable why he K.Oed her. But as said above there are more points that says he is guilty which can mean his action was wrong. Analogy to this is a court where the jury decide if the criminal person is guilty or not. :) This only my interpretation, it can be wrong. |

| 15 minute mark is when interesting things start to happen. Sort of. Everything before that is random talking and harem anime's usual "Hot girl is really interested in guy who isn't interesting in any way" nonsense while SHAFT tries to make it seem more interesting and unique than that with their usual choppy avant garde style. And then the protagonist randomly walks up to and beats up an elementary schooler because... IDK he can sense she's supposed to be a main character somehow???? |
 |
Easily my favorite episode of the season. The dialogue with Hitagi was legendary but it was Mayoi who totally stole the show. "Koyomi? That sounds like a girl's name!" |
| This is one strange anime, but I have to admit I really like it(I guess I'm kinda weird too). I love great dialogue and this anime has it; the back and forth between the characters it topnotch. Araragi and Mayoi owned this episode. |
| i don’t quite understand why people call this show genius yet. i’m kind of bored, in all honesty. i don’t know how to explain it. the dialogue isn’t really that interesting, and i’m someone that can enjoy a lot of slice of life. perhaps i’m not far enough in. i will say that hitagi is an interesting girl though, it’s just that she doesn’t play that well off of koyomi. wasn’t too impressed with the new elementary school girl either (forgot her name) |
| they were rambling nonstop but i found the dialogue really interesting!!!! MCs are really quirky & likeable ♡ i like them so much already also what is up with snail girl’s bag!!!!! her bag was MASSIVE |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The dialouge between Koyomi and Hitagi is pretty entertaining. Really diggin' the series so far. The way the anime cuts between shots of the playground and pages work so nicely, and the ost that they use suits it all very well. Moyoi seems to be quite the mysterious character, who has a pretty catchy OP at that. |

| This show seems to be full of more dialogue and things to think about then other shows on my list, but I am really enjoying it now. I really like the sound direction and music direction; this is one of those series I started because of the songs, and it is not disappointing. The new girl they introduced is very interesting can't wait to see how her story turns out. On a different note, I really like the animation in this series, it is very well done and so far the way they have spliced in pages, real-world pictures, and even food has been very intriguing, I also really like how they use colors and the shading and lighting. |
"Anime is trash... and so am I" |
on 
| I loved the evil laugh lol |
 |
| this ep was pretty fun to watch. senjougahara in casual clothes almost gave me a heart attack. it's getting interesting. at least i'm having fun, that's what matters. |
 |
| A whole episode of pure dialogue and I really enjoyed it, Araragi really bragged about beating an elementary school kid lmao. |
 |
| Unconventional! That’s the word I was looking for, and it works to great extent. Now I’m starting to see why bunny girl senpai is sometimes called the successor to this. But if that’s the case, then bunny girl senpai failed big time because this, well, is just so much better. This is art fam |

| This episode got in a slow start after that exorcism like from Hitagi's problem and coincidentally she met Koyomi in the park, New OP as well for the new character They're really going at it with these deep conversations and playful banter glad that their relationship is somewhat still going strong Hachikuji is a strong girl for a kid, Damn their reactions and their faces are so good that every time I see one it gets me and I think my favorite one is when Hachikuji kicked Araragi in the gut. |
  |
| i enjoyed this episode ＼(≧▽≦)／ i enjoyed the new op as well, it was very cute! (๑˃ᴗ˂) the animation and style of this anime really is fantastic to me. senjougahara is very cool! it's very dialogue heavy but i think it's part of the charm of this anime (＠＾◡＾) i wonder where this is going to go! i know something about mayoi because i heard it before, but i can't say what it is Σ(°△°|||)︴ onto the next episode! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |

| Has been way too long since I've watched this series (watched maybe like, six years back? I was up to Monogatari Series: Second Season but ended up putting it on hold for whatever reason), back now, I forgot how charming this series is. First two episodes were really great, and this third episode didn't let down in quality. Conversations in this series are able to both keep my interest as well as put a really damn huge smile on my face. Also, the whole fucking fight Araragi has with Hachikuji, and Senjougahara's disgust which follows, fucking hell, hilarious, was laughing heaps loud. Bakemonogatari's amazing. Scored it an eight back when I saw it but if it keeps this quality up as well as improving further with the character development, I'll be thinking of a nine, for sure. |
 |
| Story is fine so far but the characters are unrelateable. Why is Araragi so willing to help and want to be friends with Hitagi when she stapled his mouth for no reason, nor has she said sorry for that. All the characters come accross as emotionless so far. Don't get me wrong, I like crazy characters but atleast give them some humanity. This ep we see him hit a gradeschooler because he wants to help her? Can we get some unselfish characters please lol |
| a lot of the fanservice wasn't interesting, and araragi beating up a grade schooler wasnt that funny. the later part of the episode was pretty cool, and the conversation sounded quite fun. |
 |
| SHAFT must have done a really good job if they made me not bored of more than half an episode of Hitagi roasting Araragi. Also love how she was subtly(somewhat) trying to get him to be her boyfriend. Now, Araragi spanking a little girl, getting bullied by said girl and then brawling with her without holding back MAY seem pathetic but on the bright side, at least he gave an opponent the respect they deserve in a duel. |
 |
| The dialogue was pretty wild in this episode I still have no idea what is going on in this show |
| Still amazes me to this day that Araragi seriously fought Hachikuji. Senjougahara is staring daggers at him and she keeps dropping hints to Araragi but the conversation gets derailed or the subject changes. The moment she started saying she's a lost snail 🐌 and then trying to drop what she said was a bit eerie. 私服→至福 Really love that wordplay. The guitar playing Hachikuji's OP was a nice touch. |
