| YEAH! The first show that gets love from me. |
 |
| just watched it on crunchyroll........it was fucking amazing. the art is phenomenal and the characters are as lively as ever.....so god damn good yo. |
| this is my god damn signature. |
| I'm contempt, but I want MOAR!! D:< The OP was really well done. (: |
 |
| Fuck yeah. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| So happy to have this show back...oh god yes. Loved this first episode! Great to see Senjoughara back on my screen and on perfect form, the sharp witty dialogue remains and is strong as ever! I like that it took some time to address the issue of Oshino leaving instead of never mentioning it again or paying it any attention. It's good to see Araragi hurt and worried over it and I really loved that sincere moment between him and Mayoi. Also cool to see a bit Tsuki, introduce her to us so we can get to know her, I look forward to Karen's screen time. All in all it isn't an episode that really kicks off the plot for the series but it did something better than that, re-introduced us back to the characters and dealt with a previous issue whilst giving us a glimpse to what's to come. I love that the art style remains and that the animation has improved providing less wonky faces at times. Just argh the music, the art, the characters, I loved it all! I have so many more words to spout out over how much I loved this but I'll just end it here by saying I've fucking missed you Monogatari :P |

| Tsukihi is extremely annoying and I'm pretty much guaranteed to like Karen far better, the Hitagi scene was pretty good. Mayoi went berserk when Koyomi was tossing her up and down while kissing her. I gave Bakemonogatari a try and it turned out well so I'll give Nise a try as well. 3/5 |
 |
| it was really amaizing... oh god.. i was waiting for this from the first day i read that they'll make nisemono into anime.. 5/5 |
  |
Well, that made my week. |

  |
| OMG finally after bout 2 years wait the sequel!!! My heart cant take it. It totally didnt disappoint me at all and the OP was really well done. |
| Was pretty good they have cool living room. I got completely lost at the handstand/courtroom part though idk what that was about. |

| It's good to see SHAFT back on track after two years of lacklustre series. Great episode with knife-sharp directing - felt like 10 minutes. |

|

|
| That was full of awesomeness! The witty-dialogue, stunning visuals, and the amusing characters. OP is pretty much the same with staple stable OP from the prequel and as good or even better. Such a WIN START!! MOAR!!!! |

| Finally here! Great start! Loved it! :D <3 |
| omggg I was waiting so long !! Finally it's out :)))) |
| I'm so glad it's out! The visuals are so pretty! |
| Actually, Araragi is back! Amazing first episode and great to see the characters as lively as ever. Good thing that this time we won't have to wait for like forever as in the case of Bakemonogatari. 5+/5 |

| IT'S BACK! I can't express how happy I am right now after seeing how the show managed to maintain not only the style but also the wittiness of its prequel. The OP was pretty interesting this time with Senjogahara's silhouette and all the kanji hinting at the huge amount of dialogue. Overall, a great episode to start of the show, though the problem I have now after watching this episode is that all my anticipation for the rest of anime airing this season has vanished. |

| the best of this season is out finally |
| now i really wish i couldve followed bakemono as it aired great first ep |
| Nice starting episode , tbh i wasn't expecting this , imo it was better than 80% episodes of Bakemonogatari. Great dialogues , amazing graphics (i hope that they will keep it through all episodes) , SENJOUGAHARA-SAMA <3 and comeback's of epic characters + new ones! Srsly what more could you want. If they keep similar level to this episode through all the series and some of the upcoming episodes will be shinies like episode 12 to Bakemono then man ... this will be a helluva anime lol :3. 5/5 - couldn't expect more from the start :333333 Senjougahara Tore \o/ |
| It started out well but then it kind of went down hill after the loli came in. Nothing against her, but it just got boring. |
    |
| *manly tears* YES.FUCK YES.Actually i dont care of other animes in this season, as long as i have Nisemonogatari. HITAGI♥ EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT. 5/5 and it goes to favorites. |
 |
| Love that they added Araragi's rape face! Love that scene... |
| I'm not going to lie, I was so ready for this and my hype was through the ceiling. And then it started and the scene with Senjougahara and Araragi and I was like, "Yes! Senjougahara <3" But then it continued with mindless and rambling conversations. The OP was good, but then the mindless babbling continued with not only his youngest sister, but with Hachikuji as well. Honestly, this episode was really boring and if this is how its going to continue, than I'm definitely not looking forward to force my way through this. 2/5 5/10 iLostReason said: *manly tears* YES.FUCK YES.Actually i dont care of other animes in this season, as long as i have Nisemonogatari.

| I agree with Okthxbaii. I honestly think I fell out of love with the franchise because of this episode. Nisemonogatari wasn't "bad", but it certainly wasn't "OMG!! Amazing!!". This episode had way too much pointless dialogue that doesn't add anything to the plot or characters. It felt like nothing really happened throughout the entire episode and the characters were just talking for the sake of talking. Not to mention the power-point presentation style, it makes it feel like the seiyuu are reading from a script rather than the characters actually talking. Too many cut-aways to unimportant backgrounds and random camera angles to save animation budget. Plus the dialogue between Mayoi and Arararagi was extremely drawn out and creepy. Never thought Arararagi was such a pedophile. :O I really hope the series improves later, because this was just decent at best. |
| Well, even tough Im not a huge fan of that loli I have to say this was a great episode, the dialogue is reallyawesome. Besides we got to see more Senjougahara awesomeness. And by the way I cant wait for the movie. |
