| Nadeko is certainly cute. Guess that's how some anime shows draw you in. This arc looks interesting...looking forward to more. |
| Liked the sign text^^ WTF is this guy doing?!! and The Cat-Girl ofcourse Nice ep^^ |
| Bakemonogatari in a nutshell Pretty artwork Almost no animation Gimmicky character reactions Manface women Constant eye shots Constant splash screens with random text Contrived dialogue Generic characters Shallow plot Instead of being monster of the week, it's oddity of the week. Protagonist helps women with their problems because he's nice. Some of which fall for him. The structure of the series is that of a standard harem. Why do people like this show? |

I don't know if standard harems start with the protagonist dating a girl he met in episode 5 and locked up with her forever. Harems usually have routes or different options and choice but Araragi doesn't really have a choice. Opinions are opinions. I don't really see what "manface women" has to do with an enjoyment of an anime, generally the females of this show are designed really well. Seems most of your post is just railing on Bakemonogatari. I don't know why you watched it til episode 11 if you find so many faults with it. |
| Ahhh....A replacement, I guess this made more since than the one i did. |
| Pretty good episode. Nadeko running away was hilarious. Interesting to finally see what happened to Hanekawa as well. Am starting to miss Senjogahara though. |
| Whre the hell is Senjougahara?! D: I don't really like Hanekawa xD (and her meow-ing was crazy 0_o) Nadeko was the best thing *w* |
    |
| life sucking nekomimi xD never thought of it before xD yeah shinobu and nadeko are awesome <3 |
     |
| pachi pachi pachi Very nice episode, simple yet complicated. I love this. |

Instead of counting how much "animations", "Constant splash screens random text" etc..does an episode have, just try to watch and enjoy the whole stuff. This is just for chilling because it's a cartoon, no one was complaining on Flintstone's "animation" either, you just watched and thats all. |

| Hi. Gief MOOOAAAAAAR Senjougahara! But sure it was pretty nice having some story behind Hanekawa. Black Hanekawa is White. lol "Nyahahahah~" Araragi made an Awesome-face! Actually, he made a bunch of funny faces, but I think that one takes the price : p And that's a strange caleidoscope-way of showing pictures : p There is something about SHAFT.. They have this tendency to make things interesting without really doing anything : o And those screens with some random color (usually the 'red', 'black' or 'white' screens) are somehow really making this captivation O.o Also, Great picture at the end, after the preview xD Say.. did the animation get like.. sometimes great, sometimes awesome, and sometimes kinda crappy (but not all that bad anyway), at pretty much random occations?O.o Oh and btw, Staple Stable's back : D Awesome! And the ED is still as awesome as always : 3 Anyway all in all, awesome episode is awesome : 3 |

She was what made this show. I mean what the hell man? This other stuff is getting boring without her. I'm like not even looking forward to this show anymore. UGH! Sorry to break this to you but Senjougahara was never the LEAD female, she was just the arc character that just so happens to be Araragi's girlfriend. Btw, if SHAFT ever decides to animate Koyomi Vamp you will realize that Tsubasa plays a much more important role in Araragi's life than Senjougahara. If anyone has read the novel than they will know that it is 100% surprising that they didn't starting dating after that story. lol you missed the point. Regardless of what the novel did (which you're not supposed to reference here. =\) Senjougahara is what makes this show. Point. End Point. And boo to the guy who talked trash about the show. Contrived dialogue?? This is some of the best dialogue I've heard in years! |

| After last week's fiasco, animation was still quite sloppy on this episode. Such a shame. |

| Another enjoyable episode. After a very cute loli now we have a dangerous white sexy nekomimi. I just love this series, they are awesome. The whole flashback was amazing and i liked the fact that we learned more about that little vampire girl. All girls are so cool in this anime. Really not much else to say, everything was nice. And hope we have another interesting arc. O yeah! what was Araraki doing crabbing the dress of Nadeko? Am certain Senjougahara will appear in the next episode. If the episode is good you don't have to go crazy because you didn't saw her people. I kind of missed her too but i disagree that she is what makes this anime good. So i was wondering fansubers will stop because of stream after the next episode? We will never get to see the completion of the story until the DVD comes out? And when will the other 3 episodes air? |
| oo interesting ep and interesting arc >_< cant wait for part 2 |

| Seriously, all I've been thinking the last 3 episodes was, "Hitagi! Where are you?! Come back!!! NOW!" Still, I think this Tsubasa Cat arc looks promising. |
 |
| Yay, a cat arc :D Not sure I love the way they went about it, but it looks promising. Nadeko was cute :O |
| Better directed and animated, but about a third of this episode did absolutely nothinng--the conversation between Araragi and Nadeko. The Doraemon analogy was clever, but it almost seemed like it existed just so they could make that connection. Regardless, I think this was a step in the right direction, and I think it's pretty clear Koyomi is the source of Tsubasa's stress now. |

Thank god there was Nadeko ^^ Forgive my ignorance, but it would be great if you could explain. What do you guys mean that the animation was poor and sloppy. I thought it was great, but maybe we are talking about/looking at different things. Would be great if you guys could tell me what I should be looking for so I can spot it as well. Is it overall stuff, or the actual movement of the characters, or how they are drawn? Thanks in advance! ^_^ |
 |
| A very good episode. |
 |
| he actually held on those bloomers and swimsuit, in the street, just before going to see her girlfriend i hope senjousajara appears soon, i dont really liked that cat tsubasa, its just like the will of abyss of pandora hearts, but craizier and less powerfull |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| I get ice pick headaches and migraines, so I couldn't help but relate. I don't remember turning into a killer cat girl and taking out pedestrians... but I wouldn't care either way. Good episode, hope they have another special intro soon. |
| Nadeko in school uniform was lovely ! yeah !! But what shocks me is Tsubasa Cat, it was so goddamn smexy !! |
 |
| I need my Senjougahara fill... she hasn't been on very much lately :( |

Thanks in advance! ^_^ their faces lacked details and the animation was a bit too framing sometimes. this episode was incomparable to the first few. in fact after those, the quality of graphics started decreasing. but i still love bakemonogatari. it's not that i started hating it or something just cause it looks worse. the anime is a true masterpiece, everyone knows that . about the quality: [he looks like a woman doesn't he xD] thats an example of what i mean [motiv is not mine] if thats not enough 4 u please make a comment on my profile instead of here ok? |

| I really wanna know more about Shinobu more so than anyone else right now. |
     |
| Hahaha trust me I would hold on those clothes just like Araragi-kun!!! Haha!! |
 |
| I was little bored with this episode.. BUT.. NYAHAHAHA! and Nadeko..so cute. :3333 Where the hell is Senjougahara? |

noteDhero said: and I think it's pretty clear Koyomi is the source of Tsubasa's stress now. Yeah, that was my thought too. It's painfully obvious Hanakawa is conflicted with the relationship between Senjougahara and Araragi. But...ah...I don't know. They should have put her arc more towards the beginning of the show, imo. Well, I guess I should wait till the whole thing is over before I make that distinction. Also, I love how they talk about Senjougahara, but don't even bother showing her. |
| Average, pretentious, and boring episode. Remember when Shaft was good? Also... |

| Nyahahaha annoyed me to no end, but good episode. |
 |
| Nadeko was awesome this episode xD although wouldn't mind some more SNejougahara time =O |
| Nyahahahaha was freaking awesome. Great episode, Nadeko went up a few points. |
