That bloody mess at the end jumped me. I lol'ed at Senjougahara's expressionless face when she said, "You forgot this."

I loved the conversation between Hanekawa and Araragi. I completely agree with everything she said.



"I'm bothered by the very fact that people exist, but you're an exception" That's what I would probably say if I had a girlfriend.

Lol Senjougahara went from tsundere to yandere in her conversation with Araragi. The ending was funny as well.

That Monkey at the end (can't remember her name, that basket girl). [Well, I assume it's her!] was... ouch! Poor Araragi, at least he has that regeneration! :O

Oh yeah. I was interested in this series initially because Kanbaru looked like such an awesome tomboy. Then I noticed the paranormal-possibly Shinto stuff and was sold. Eeeek.<3

Is Senjougahara really a tsundere? because tsunderes are not so bad at all~! Her violent tendencies are wonderful. I don't see what isn't romantic about her killing Araragi.

I appreciated the Norse Mythology reference.<3

Whoa. I remember seeing gore in the opening of Episode 1, and was what got me watching the first episode. By now I've already grown to love the lengthy conversations as an appeal on its own, so having this extra mystery assailant is icing on the cake. :)

The twist at the end was unexpected; but I think it will add something different to this arc seeing as how the supernatural entities of the past two arcs have been pretty much peaceful.

The dialogue here was good as usual though. Pairing Araragi and Senjougahara together always creates some interesting conversation.

Nice start of this new arch, I don't like the new character that much than the previous one but it can be interesting! The ending was quite strange though!

Senjougahara is freakin hilarious! You can tell she really likes him, but she never shows any clear emotion when she talks. Its pretty funny.

I like the new OP. Well, just the video. The actual musics was sorta lacklustre, preferred Hachikuji's.

This episode made me realise Senjougahara was a classic tsundere and I liked that a lot because they're not common! But then she went all yandere and now I don't even know what to think. I do not really like her homicidal self.

I'm not sure what to make of Suruga. At least, not yet.

Hanekawa is the best!

Loved the Baruhara Combi business.

I love the type of relationship Senjougahara and Araragi have.


Ohh so true, they are just so unique together. And I still love Mayoi, she is just so funny to me. And the end on the episode was intense and left me in suspense. That is a pretty power monster it looks like.

Yeah, I wouldn't really try to pursue a relationship with Miss yandere/tsundere, Senjougahara. She is just insane.
Another meh episode. The new girl is okay for now, I bet the monster is either her or a part of her.

It look like Hitogi's a keeper.

That fight at the end (if can call it a fight since he couldn't even defend himself...) was fucking brutal. I guess that ''monkey'' was Suruga. She'll surely ask him for Oshino help.

Mayoi has grew on me. She's so cute :3

Suruga must be the one who attacked him... she must be jealous.. that bitch I hate girls that like girls.. this is one thing I really hate and I'm wondering why there are many characters like this in anime.. on the other hand I think Hitagi might go to my top 5 main heroines..

I don't know why but I really don't like seeing real human body parts (eyes here). They somehow make me feel uncomfortable, although not like episode 2.
Senjougahara really has anger management issues...damn!

Well, Senjougahara isn't really tsundere, more likely she is yandere. But luckily, not most of the time.

Suruga is on wholy different level, she is happiness killer of her former friends. Was her attack personification of locomotive?
My bet is she was possessed as result of being broken-hearted from Senjougahara's separation from her.

This anime kicks ass, and I actually LIKE that it's dialogue based. It's a good change of pace.

I like that there is a lot of dialogue. Some people who say it's boring or pointless talking would probably point to Araragi asking Senjougahara if she has a stapler on her as "random talking" :)

Intriguing. I like that they are more casual about their relationship, no drama about it. Really loving the ED.

Very interesting end, there. As I said, intriguing. Look forward to watching more.

Yahoooo! Welcome back Hachikuji!!!! Rararagi-san is like a music <3333 XDDDD
I bet straws symbolize cigarettes ;)

When I see Hachikuji and Aryaryagi-san together first thing that comes to my mind is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7isxoTIeYM
lol
anyway first part was great but second part was boring as hell. I'm not impressed with Hitagi at all, not that I dislike her, she's just not my type, I find her rather boring. I like intruguing and dramatic relationships, and they look like old boring couple. "I want to spend more time with you.... well maybe would be good... what?...okay okay it would be good, lets do it.... Yawn". Don't know how to rate this episode, Hachikuji part was "loved it", Hitagi part - "it was ok".

and oh I forgot about Kanbaru.... nothing interesting and stupid as usual, but I like her seyuu, imagine it's Shinku from Rozen Maiden (and Senjougahara is Rebecca Miyamoto kawaii desu from PaniPoniDash and Sarashiki Tatenashi from Infinite Stratos 2 <3)
