| Love that Hachikuji knows how to lay a verbal smackdown like she's The Rock or Chris Jericho. Senjougahra's unlimited pencil works. This episode alone can exemplify why Senjougahara fascination is a thing! |
| This episode felt the most like Bakemonogatari in pacing and content. |
 |
| Ok, things are finally picking up again! |

| Firstly, I am really pissed we didn't see the incest kiss. I mean really, Shaft?! I was looking forward to a blushing Karen-chan! Oh well, there goes that fun. So, back to the actual ep. Nice to see a change in the interaction between Hachikuji and Koyomi Araragi. Finally, about time, no groping and a new formal way of speaking to each other for the sake of comedy. I loved that they changed that part. She really like Araragi, no doubt. She cares for him very much, though she is a soul. She saw right through him. Looks like he is the type who can't hide his feelings with a poker face. There was two moments that captured my eyes. One of them is and the other is detective Conan reference, LOL The scene with Senjougahara was really cute. They are a good couple. Funny he said that he doesn't know why he is in love with her, but screw that because it doesn't matter. The way they animate it is really beautiful. So much use of metaphor and deception. For one who have almost watched only shounen, this a new thing one get easy fond of. I wonder what the condition Gahara-san is asking for. Could it be a k..k-kiss? Or is it....( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( Oh my....( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ). Either way, I hope it's something erotic. For a perv minded like me, that's the only possibility. Seeing Shinobu in the end was nice. She gave us a nice tsundere dominance smile The chill one get when she said Araragi and Karen has similar blood type and the fact that they showed her teeth. It's in fact small details like these ones that makes the monogatari-series good. In my opinion, the animation may surpass the story itself. I am glad at least some good story gets a good animation unlike some others out there (ehm..ehm...OP). Looks like they will be on a Karen search next time. This is gonna be good. |

| GOOD, NO FUCKING INCEST KISS but damn it was just a forced excuse for that scene. Looks like Senjougahara is going to do something with Kaiki without kill him.... |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Didn't expect Hachikuji to actually be alright with the sexual harassment. I wonder if the next time they meet again he'll do that again lol. I like how Koyomi was the one who used the name gag with Hachikuji this time around. And that Detectiv Connan reference was unexpected. I like how the characters just refer to other anime. I forgot how much I liked Senjougahara and her neck tilts, not to mention her poses in this episode. I also really like the use of the colour red in this series, just makes anything that's red stand out and I really like it for some reason. Also enjoying the Shinobu scenes. |

| I really have nothing to say but it was a good episode when Mayoi was disappointed on Araragi was actually cute^^ So there's not one tsundere but two lol:) |
 |
| Always love me some Hachikuji and Araragi interactions. Lmao, Araragi without sexual harassment would be nothing more than a flee. Senjougahara was dangerously exceeding cuteness levels this episode. What power does Hanekawa possess to have been able to make Senjougahara submit and call her master lmao. I love how Shinobu tried to rationalize wanting to help Araragi. Now we have 2 tsunderes lmao. |
 |
| Ah, episodes with Senjougahara are the best! Still find her gushing over Araragi's cool moments cute. Also, what sort of hold could Hanekawa have over her to make her so submissive like that?! Shinobu was awesome too. I like her old-style accent. |
 |
Hitagi poseXD Damn Hanekawa totally made Hitagi her slave. And I didn't expect Hachikuji to be okay with the fondling 0_0 God I love Shinobu's "kaka" it's so funny |

| ma new acc cuz I lost the old one:') |

| Really bloody good episode! Forgot Nisemonogatari had episodes this damn good, haha, this is better compared to how I remembered. Lots of great expressions from Hachikuji as well as lots of funny exchanges between the two, these two are great. I'd say Hachikuji is probably my favourite character. Excellent comedy throughout the whole episode, conversation with Senjougahara was a lot of fun, had amazing, interesting visuals, funny jokes (I liked the random sumo reference), really nice scenes (always nice when they are clear about loving each other and fun to see Senjougahara appreciate Araragi's positive qualities), amazing music as well. Direction was awesome here, loved it when Araragi returned home where it was black and white because of the drama of Karen being gone. Composition throughout the whole episode was amazing as well. Nisemonogatari does feel a bit held down by some of the fanservice (still fun but a bit much in comparison to other seasons) but it's still absolutely the quality this series promised with Bakemonogatari. Forgot to say but Shinobu is a lot of fun as well. Ka ka. |
 |
| Any episode with Ruraragi and Senjougahara interactions is a complete win. Wasn't expecting Mayoi to look forward to the harassment though. |
 |
| sooo... its not like i want to know how he transferred the illness from karen or anything. correction> totally don't want to know if they k-kissed after that. |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| Gahara's fav weapon of choice def them pencils if not them staplers. Guess Shinobu rlly is a tsuntsun ^_^ |
 |
| aah! The conversation is so good that I can't watch it lying down or tired, otherwise I'll fall asleep and doze off T_T. |
  |
| My god, this arc is taking forever to reach its conclusion. And here I thought Hanekawa's arc in Bake felt unnecessarily long... But well, at least Shinobu's appearances are making up for these awful pacing issues. |
| Hachikuji is okay with Araragi sexually harassing her because of course she is. Finally, more Senjougahara! As much as I enjoy Senjougahara being cold and demeaning, I love her when she acts like a woman in love when she gets impressed by Araragi's coolness. I guess it works so well because of how rare and different from her usual demeanor it is. Shinobu appears again to help Araragi find his sister. And she's another tsundere. Nice. Tho she seems more like a tsundere to me than Senjougahara. I enjoyed the last 2 next episode previews (including this one) because they were by Karen and Tsukihi. And they brought their usual worthless trivia with them. Love it. |
