| I loved the new OP! The arc was pretty great, I guess... Sealkid said: Bakemonogatari looks like a Visual novel Yeah, pretty much. |

Fabienne said: It's a payback for Araragi because he lied to her..so scaryyLaevantein said: Oh yeah Araragi is enjoying himself being beaten up by monkey, there is a hole in his belly!, and Senjougahra didn't even worried, is this the power of love? i like it. It's funny but strange at the same time, that Senjougahra didn't care about his injuries like in episode 6 XD |

| A tremendous finale to a great arc, where every character gets their own time on the screen in a way they affect the storyline in an important way. The highlight was the duel, definitely a strong scene, cinematic and also violent, toppable only by another strong scene - Kanbaru's and Senjougahara's reconcilation at the very end of the episode, a very emotional moment. So Senjougahara saves the day. We also get a new opening song and animation, but I doubt it will stay for longer than just this ep. A new arc coming up and a new girl will be introduced. Can't wait for next week! 10/10 |

| that looked really painful for Araragi, would have been cool to see what he was like at full power back when he was a vampire. |
     |
| Decent episode...probably the weakest of the series, but still good in its own right, I suppose. I want more Senjougahara. |
| It's funny but I think the events in this episode strengthened Araragi's and Hitagi's relationship. |
 |
| This episode needs more Senjougahara, but at least the fight scene was pretty nice. |
 |
| That was one bloody fight. Araragi took quite a beating. |
saxophone said: Araragi took quite a beating. He seems to be perfectly fine, doesn't he?: D The way he looks so.. distant and half-ways out of conciousness, really makes him look lively, right? : D |

| Lol, something grabbed me from the very first time I decided to pick this Anime up and I can safely say it still has one heck of a hold on me. Stylistically, it reminds me a lot of ef - a tale of memories/melodies, and I loved those. The arcs themselves are so...different (for a lack of a better word) than anything I've ever seen and in one word, I'd call it unique. And I'm completely glued to the ED Theme...it's catchy, and despite the dark feel to a couple of the episodes, it always seems like the perfect way to end each episode. ON TO THE EPISODE ITSELF. My apologies for rambling. Gotta give the guy credit; Araragi-kun's a prime example of someone we'd label "selfless." That beating...lol. I can't even explain how I felt while and after I watched it. But I can say that I liked the way they played with the color in the whole scene to alleviate how intensely violent and gore-filled it was. And was that *thing* Araragi-kun's intestine? I couldn't make it out, and to be honest I had no idea what that was the first time I watched it...didn't pay much attention to it. I'm just happy these "oddities" don't exist in reality =] IMO, Senjougahara really deeply, truly loves Araragi. Bitter-sweet would be how I'd describe the way she acts toward him, but underneath there's a clear, unbreakable love. Favorite character from the start of the series, by far. Overall this arc gets a 4.5/5; I just didn't like Suruga at all, but I can't deny the hook the story had on me. Looking forward to the next arc~ |

EXMemories said: Well Araragi is the only person that can't be die so easily if Senjougahara is angry, just kidding, best romance so far. Just love when they are talking together.IMO, Senjougahara really deeply, truly loves Araragi.

Laevantein said: Just love when they are talking together. Those conversations are.. pretty strange, although any feelings between them are quite in the clear. (i.e. their feelings are quite obvious. At least Senjougahara's : D) Also.. Senjougahara <3 : D |

Oosran said: I mean when Senjougahara said she will kill him and become the one that sit next to him when Araragi died, and she said it was romantic. and not to mention about how Senjougahara wants to kill Araragi, lol. is that Tsundere?Laevantein said: Just love when they are talking together.

| Araragi can really endure a ton of pain. I cringed when the "rope" snapped. If I was Araragi, I would've been, "cut Kanbaru's arm off now!" Senjougahara is awesome. I wanna see Shinobu's blade. |

| This show redefined the definition of gore. Showing someone's guts being janked out, being swung around by them and having them ripped out eventually, all the while showing the scene in any color but the obvious making it look like paint was splattering all around is quite a unique way of toning down the shock factor. Seems like Hitagi saved him this time around. He's very lucky to have found her, he'd better not let her go (though I'd assume it would mean his death if he ever did). |

First, the colors.. were.. Nice : D It made the occation somehow seem a bit.. happy and fun xD. Although that was clearly not the case. Fabienne said: why is the freak of the arc always a girl? Because it's .. it's just like that : D. Heck why am I even trying to find reason in this? Oh well guess it's because .. no never mind. I'm not gonna say girls are violent : 3 |

| Great episode!! The pastel color is very beautiful. |
| Holy shit...this episode was freaky xD Friggen...Kanbaru swinging Araragi around by his intestines. I feel bad for Kanbaru though D: She loves Senjougahara a lot. Boo. |
 |
| Hahahaha, loved it. Senjougahara at the end was so ridiculously cold but awesome. |
israfel070 said: or maybe also because of the simple explanation that if he starts helping another male character with his problems, it might not appear to be as interesting to the readers/audience? (and it would feel BL-ish?) :-)Fabienne said: why is the freak of the arc always a girl? Each 3 episodes is based on a different book with a different girl... it's somewhat like a harem series, except he's had the girlfriend from the first book. |
     |
| I lol'd at the different colored blood. :D Why is this anime so amazing? |
    |
| I disliked this episode pretty much. I don't know exactly what pissed me off, but i disliked the series for the first time. Maybe its because i simple hate lezbo bitches, 3rd wheels and overly boyish girls, like Kanbaru, or because i watched in low quality with the audio sync screwed. Most probably my "hate" was caused because of the second reason since last two episodes didn't made me that upset. Tho i must voice that i was pretty much annoyed with Kambaru's arc. I wanted araragi to kill her... I agree with oshino, his kindness makes me sick sometimes. Note: The fight was fun to see. I like the style that is being used on this series. |
| Hmm. This was a nice arc, but I still prefer Mayoi Snail. I wonder if they'll animate Koyomi Vamp, Tsubasa Cat or atleast Karen Bee... |
    |
| LOL After I post the video here,in one day to another,it come to more than 2 thousand views O__O |
| Great episode! =D |
| Not even Sawashiro Miyuki can save Kanbaru for me. She's annoying and needs to gtfo. |
| awesome episode! I enjoyed it a lot. Glad the quality went back up again :] Sealkid said: Bakemonogatari looks like a Visual novel Now that you mention it, it kinda does :| Heh, didn't think about that before but you have a good point. I'm kinda surprised the original version wasn't a visual novel now... >< |
| Enjoyed the episode. This series is going good. Am kind of wandering how her hand looks now. Well tsundere-chan(am really unable to remember how to wright correctly her name) saved the day and Araraki really took some beating. That little vampire girl really seems interesting. I had seen some fanart of her but had no idea who she was before i start watching the show. |

| LOL Yuri lilies XD Did anyone else think Senjogahara was completely cruel when she was rejecting Suruga at the end? Why would you tell someone that you just want to be friends while you're pracitically all up on them like that? She was toturing her poor broken-hearted soul! :( |

windy said: Not even Sawashiro Miyuki can save Kanbaru for me. She's annoying and needs to gtfo. I...I am disappoint. How could you. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| Guess you either love or hate how this looks visually.. I for one absolutely hate it.. The fighting scene was just annoying if you ask me, visually appalling to the eyes with the bad drawing and mix mashed colours.. didn't like it at all. Luckilly for Koyomi, Hitagi showed up and saved the day, don't think he could have lost much more gallons of blood really^^ |
| Wow, even despite that Araragi can recover fast, that was a horrible beating. Most people wouldn't get up from a situation like that. |
| A fine story =D On to the next story |
     |
| y does he tries to help every1 l0l |
