Tsukihi was not the shy little sister that I expected, but she still has her charm.
I guess I should've known since it wouldn't make sense for the term "Fire Sisters" to come from just Karen haha.

Looks like Kaiki gets introduced in this season. He seems like a pretty popular character, so I'm looking forward to it.

Took a break to read Kizu in between Bake and Nise, but this series is as addicting as I remember. On to the next episode! :)

I wonder why Hitagi kidnapped Araragi. Jeez. What's going on!?!? I wanna know why.

Gaaaaah! My baby Hachikuji! I miss yooouuuuuuu! Hahaha. As always, Araragi will take advantage of her by touching her and now he's kissing her. What the fuck, Araragi. Hahaha.

Okay, honestly that conversation between them two the last minute is really sad. I really don't want to see Hachikuji go. Waaah.

Good first episode. Loved it. I missed everyone. Haha.

That greeting was cute, but was he seriously kissing her tits? What the hell, Aragi!? xD

It seems like this season is going to focus somewhat on Araragi's two younger sisters which is cool, but hopefully we get appearances from the main harem cast throughout, pretty much I hope it's formatted like this first episode.

Also it was nice to have a long talk with Mayoi again, but they way she said she would tell Araragi goodbye before she left is way too similar to Oshino so now I'm kind of scared she may just disappear which would make me sad as fuck

Awesome anime start! When I saw the genre "Ecchi" on the anime page, I already knew it would have a lot more fanservice, but I have no problem with that.

Hachikuji is so cute ... lol

I wonder if there is a word to describe Senjougaharas behaviour and mental state. You can't call it sadistic, since it's not (generally) sexually, but with the way she treats and teases Araragi constantly comes close to something like that.

Even after watching Bake, I still can't understand how he can love such a girl. But well, they both have some kind of mental handicap, so I guess it's fine? *shrugs*


"But what about when I made out with you?"
When did that happen? Or was that a joke? IIRC they only kissed in Bake.

And in some regards he is as dense as always.

I guess Tsukihi already know that Nadeko is in love with Koyomi. Well that's weird.

Lol, buy love at the convenience store.

Alright, I guess. I'm sure it was a good episode, I'm just still on the Kizumonogatari high. I really hope we get action like that in Kizumonogatari again... I doubt it though. This was really perverted, I guess as a word? I don't really mind it because it's funny ecchi and not trashy ecchi, but I was surprised at how many perverted jokes Arararararararargi made. His relationship with Mayoi is a weird one. Is he just not going to Sengoku's house? Also, he's so clueless it's almost like he's Makoto Itou.

Yeah, I remember this being one of the better episodes of Nise. The whole opening with Senjougahara is gold. Cool senzu beans for the Muhammad Ali reference.

Cool start to the 3rd part of the monogatari series (if you follow the recommended order, just as I do). Funny the way Senjougahara is treating Araragi. Poor guy, he has an amazing tolerance to be able to keep up with the treatment of this tsundere. For the viewers, like us, it's hilarious the way she gives him water and food. Plus it's adorable how she is going to take care of him. They are good and funny pair. Somehow I am glad he ended up with Senjou and not Tsubasa. The latter one would make a very mono relationship. Nothing is better than seeing tsundere girls in relationship.

Anyways, fine appearance of Tsukihi. Her pantsu is looking good.
Looks like Araragi have understood by now that he has a harem hanging around him. About time he was aware that Araragi was the guy Sengoku was talking about in Bake.

A fine appearance of Hachikuji. I loved the smile that was on Araragi's face before he began to fondle the girl
. Their conversation at the end was really nice to look at it. From the look of it even Hachikuji has fallen in Araragi harem group. That's probably the reason she won't move forward/or as we usually say go to "heaven".

Overall, a good opening to Nise. I can't wait for seeing Karen's case.

PS! Great opening with very less spoiler. Really amazing how less spoilerish they were. Long time sine I have seen that.

There it is... the cursed tag known as ecchi. Well, hopefully the lewd stuff won't be too bad. So far it's been my main issue with this series.
That first scene was really weird. Hopefully there will be a somewhat logical explanation of what was going on it in the future...?

Now, after finishing Bakemonogatari in 2018 and Kizumonogatari and 2019, 2020 is Nisemonogatari's turn. I heard that this 3rd part is controversial, it will be interesting to see my reaction.

Lmao that beginning scene with Araragi as Senjougahara's hostage. From im guessing, Nisemonogatari is going to focus on Araragi's two younger sisters but that scene feels very disconnected with the rest of the episode, I hope they give an explanation later. The rest of the episode was nice (except for the pedo jokes but at this point I can forgive this show). Im glad that Mayoi is back!

And now moving onto Nisemonogatari, I think I'll just be watching the series by the release order. I heard this one is supposed to focus more on Araragi's little sisters so this should be exciting since we didn't get too much of them in Bake.

I like how Araragii referred to Karen as "bigger little sister."

That 'hostage' bit with Senjougahara was pretty funny, quite interested to see how she kidnapped Koyomi.

The whole interaction between Araragi and Hachikuji was hilarious, I like how they played a piano version of Kaerimichi towards the end there.

First episode is off to a pretty good start.

Omg this episode was so amazing°°

Showing Senjougahara on the first few minutes after kidnapping Araragi lol.

Araragi little sister I guess was pretty cute but I still want to see Karen^^

Making the whole episode out of Mayoi is amazing Araragi doing the hand stand just to see Mayoi's panties damn, Araragi is such a lucky pervert.

I guess Nadeko is showing up on the next episode.

Anyway another good episode with good animation, looks like Karen's arc is starting on the next episode can't wait to watch it^^

Ahh yes, Hitagi's lines will never not be amazing. Hitagi is sass personafied.

Didn't expect Tsukihi's personality to be like that lmao, I thought Karen was the only one like that, well I guess them being the fire sisters makes sense.

Was looking forward to seeing Nadeko this episode, but then unexpected Mayoi, not complaining. I really like Araragi and Mayoi's dynamic and those 4th wall breaks were hilarious lmao.

Thank goodness Crunchyroll doesn’t have the same blurry mess that that they had with bakemonagatari.

Oh man the soundtrack, the art, the overall unconventional style, kinda missed all this.

I just don't get the Hitagi love. She's got many good points BUT there are so many red flags with her it's insane....
She's extremely controlling and almost scary when things doesn't fall as she wishes...

Very fun episode. Kira would have loved to be in Araragi's spot at the start, hahaha.
On his way to hang out with cutest girl Sengoku? Let's go.
Favourite shot of the episode.

Lots of fun parts with Hachikuji, Araragi's horrible, but it's hilarious to watch, as wrong as his actions are, haha, bloody hell.
New ending theme's cool, flashed back to my mind a bit when it came on. It isn't as beautiful as the first though.

I noticed this before but denied it because it was probably just fan service to a select audience population. Still, when I watched more of the Monogatari series, I learned that everyone was right about Araragi.

Disturbing start with Senjougahara leaving him trapped, Araragi humiliating himself and she taking advantage of the situation.

Araragi has a sister who is just mad at him... throwing control in his face, it's good that he has high control in this situation, if he didn't he would end up with his sister. time to visit Sengoku.

Araragi doesn't hold back when he sees Mayoi, the scene with his perverted face, he still had the right to rant. she almost turns into a demon. Araragi expected to see children's panties, it seems he discovered her truth xD.

Great first episode.

Futakotome is such a good OP. The new ED by ClariS is decent but the first ED was just too good. I didn't see Cat's Eye's ED yet but I don't think the Nisemonogatari ED is like that.

Senjougahara kidnapped Araragi to protect him. Sounds like he needs protection from her. She's such a crazy girlfriend. That's not even tsundere territory anymore. That's straight-up yandere behavior. But I guess that's part of her charm(?). It's good that Araragi still likes her. But her love is extreme as he said. Can't imagine having a crazy partner like that. Tho at the very least, you would never be bored if you had a partner like that.

I would've liked it if the series actually showed Araragi's kiss with Senjougahara tho instead of mentioning it off-handedly as a joke in the very next episode.

Araragi's conversation with Hachikuji was nice if you ignore the fact he's a lolicon. I love their conversations. Love being sold for 298 Yen (tax included) in a convenience store. Where do they come up with this shit? Also, the jab at the novels joking about never getting an anime was funny. Guessing that joke was original. Monogatari is so good because Shaft animated it. If it got an anime with any other regular studio then I doubt it'd be this good.

Nisemonogatari, the Monogatari part that focuses on Araragi's sisters. Looking forward to rewatching it.

I laughed a lot with this episode. In Bakemonogatari I had certain troubles with the Araragi pedo joke to Hachikuji Mayoi. I don´t know, in that moment I didn´t think it was bad but it gave me mixed feelings. Well, on the first episode of Nisemonogatari, this theme was developed more in depth and I allow myself to enjoy that joke. I understood that she obviously is not a child but a spirit that it don´t have the same mentaly that a child. When Hachikuji Mayoi was alive, surely she had a child mentaly, but now she is not that child but a spirit with de memories and personality of Hachikuji Mayoi. Or simply a animated character if you like that explication. All that joke is a dynamic of those two characters. Obviously, if this were a live action series, you can´t use a child for act like this, but since this is an animation, the rules are others. Also, the final dialogue is beautiful, so very wonderful episode 👍
