Karen is so extremely pretty.
Good cliffhanger.

I think what bothers me about this series is that it's little more than a series of conversations Koyomi is having with a different girl and I think the plot is just an excuse for that. I also don't find characters like Karen and Hanekawa all that interesting so that definitely makes the episode suffer imo.

haha, that was pretty hilarious. I wonder how they are going to beat that guy. Shinobu could probably kick his ass but now it's going to be hard to track him down.

Why are the characters saying Shinobu was mad at Araragi and that they needed to reconcile? It's been a WHILE since I watched Bakemonogatari but I don't remember Araragi doing anything that would have pissed her off?

It's from Kizumonogatari. Not really a good ideia to animate Nisemono before Kizu.

Hanekawa is still annoying.

I like Karen more and more, and no, it's not because of the fanservice, but her character.

A kiss of course, how else? They'll probably not kiss though.

I might’ve missed Senjougahara in Bakemonogatari because I expected it was going to be focused on their relationship, but I don’t miss her here at all. In fact, with so much delicious fanservice, Hanekawa and Kanbaru looking so much better AND more Shinobu, I almost don’t want her to appear at all. :D

Also the only dude around.

His sister's kinda cool, too. Justice is always cool.

I was really unsure if the sisters were going to end up as brats, they did annoy me a bit of what I saw of them in Bakemonogatari. I'm glad to say that this is not the case. With some background fillers and their interaction with Araragi I'm very confident that I'll enjoy this series as much as the previous one.

"The blood of justice flows through me, and it tells me to punish evil"
"...You just like punching people"

This series is really growing on me, there are so many great lines in this episode.

Karen and Kaiki's entire exchange was great, i loved how they used the screens in the walls. And was it just me, or did the person on that money look like Koyomi?

I also really enjoyed Karen and Koyomi's scene in the bedroom, there is a really interesting dynamic between them, and they really act like believable siblings.
"Brother saw me naked, and I am so freaking embarrassed" on Karen's grave. I nearly died.

It may not be as good as Bakemonogatari, but it still entertains the shit out of me.

Monogatari serie have sooooo much fanservice xD

Karen was cute... and sexy :P

That Kaiki really is an evil man. I like his style as a antagonist. He don't really have a reason, he just want money. What a greedy motherfucker :3

That ending... It would be funny, his first kiss with his sister x)

Towel.. you have a good timing ..
Hanekawa is so beautiful right now!!
Hanekawa is a good teacher when it comes to giving advice !!
Karen just want to punched people... not really!! She said that her blood flows at good justice.
Koyomi you're thinking Self-sacrificing again because of your over-the-top kindness..anyways you got the blood of a vampire.. I think atleast it has some resistance to some illnesses..
That Ending haha!!
Good Episode!!!

Pretty normal episode I guess. I still don't like new Hanekawa though, somehow it feels like totally different character. Quite a weird change.

We got finally background on main antagonist. And more screentime for Karen, it was long needed.
I really wonder how kissing and transfering of the spell goes.

Really should not hang out with Hanekawa. ep 5.

Plot: Koyomi is told what happened by Tsukihi and Hanekawa. Karen had Kaiki trapped with a fake call. After a discussion on good and evil, Kaiki escapes by giving Karen the Fire Wreath Bee, leaving her to suffer and taking all her money. Koyomi manages to find a possible cure by...kissing Karen?

...Nice.

Character: Still not liking Hanekawa right now. Big Brother Mentality still in effect.

Kaiki was hilariously awesome as a bad guy. That was a verbal/psychological smackdown worthy of someone. Like Lector. But the icing on the cake was when he took Karen's wallet. THat is a special kind of evil.

Karen is a somewhat fighter of justice. Her words on not overlooking any cruelty despite being weak is pretty good as good guy speeches go. But Koyomi's words are true as well. If she does continue like this, those around her would suffer, as is the law of heroe. Though that does hit him back in the face considering what he's done so far.

Tsukihi's mention of regrets is worth considering. A person who doesn't regret their actions is a dangerous one. One little shift and that's probable Joker bad guy right there.

Animation/sound: The Kaiki confrontation was the best part considering the psychedelic backgrounds and atmosphere. And the Karen scene was great fan service.

4/5. The incident is revealed. Now its time for the climax!

Tsukihi was kawaiii as usual though, I love how she makes him mad intentionally, killer with innocent face and her tuft acts like his lol
I guess you really want to be strangled. No, that's not it lol
by the way their tufts is one way to point out they're siblings, I like this sign of relativity

I think I might love Kaiki. he's bascially me
Oh, and Karen too.
Their interactions were pretty much gold since they're polar opposites.
The whole idea about being an "adult" and being a "child" really struck me this episode and I'm beginning to think that's the main reason why Araragi treats Karen like she's an idiot.

Because in terms of the real world and trust...she kind of is.
Unlike the other girls, she's not concealing anything, rather she's fooling herself with her own ideals. It's pretty interesting.

Also wtf Araragi
Lolicon, Siscon...what's next?!
Poor Senjougahara -_-

Looks like I'm gonna use "I'm platinum mad" now instead of "I'm pretty fucking mad". Yep, much better. Props to you, Tsukihi-chan. What the fuck am I saying!?!!? Hahaha. I love how she's humiliating her own brother for being a loner before. At least, Araragi's already a part of harem. Pfffft!

Poor Karen, though. Best girl. :'/

Funny af how Hanekawa gave Araragi a ticket to touch her boobs, but immediately turn Araragi down by saying she'll be mad. That was soooo close, Araragi-kun. Lmfaooo.

Sorry, but ohmygod that bamboo background while Hanekawa and Araragi were talking, though. It was soooo beautiful. The colors and shit. Gaaaah!

Onii-chan wiping his little sister's body to clean her. Nothing wrong with that. Chill. We all need to chill. Hahahaha!

Yay. We get to hear Shinobu talking again. Waaah. sTILL FREAKING OUT!

So, there's a way to transfer Karen's illness: Araragi has to kiss his sister... in the lips????? Lmfaoooo.

Another great episode. Ugh.

Karen should have punch Kaiki already, he's just stalling time. But who know what powers he might have, he's maybe a real deal that pretend to be a con man.

Araragi and Tsuhiki have a funny relationship. Exactly how my little sister and I go back and forth, so that was fun to see. Kaiki's mindset makes sense, as much as I disagree with it. Money does make the world go round. Karen and Araragi must be pretty close though for her to be willing to allow him to undress and wash her. Maybe it was more so out of desperation than anything else? That was probably the case. Does this mean the toothbrush scene is coming up soon, especially with that ending?
