| It's good to see another show that really brings out SHAFT's quality again. I'll be watching this eagerly. |
| That was quite interesting a guess and I'm glad to see that she has changed with her memories back. |
 |
| I liked it much better then the first episode >< |
J3T said: Amazing episode, the character interaction is just great, the animation continues to be jaw dropping and the idea of a crab taking away the painful feelings along with burdens was marvelous. Also, who could have thought that staplers would be so freaking awesome, and that fanservice was cool (especially that slap in the a$$... *drools*). Can't wait for more. my thoughts exactly. |
| I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Honestly. |
| I liked the op a lot. Good episode, I also like the whole weight concept. |
| Oh I quite liked the OP. The music in this episode where they were on the 3rd floor creeped me out. lol. So wait, will Araragi be able to get rid of the extra 45kg? Plus, his sisters were cute. |
"I've read so much manga that at times my mind works in comic panels and dramatically expressed chibis. I'm both ashamed and amused by this." |
| awesome stapling OP awesome stapling episode senjougahara is actually pretty cute. <3 and araragi's sisters are also cute. the episode was pretty good too. loved the comedy in it. |
     |
| Great episode, but who else was reminded heavily of Blair and Soul when Senjougahara stepped out of the shower and began harrasing Araragi? |
 |
| Er... anyone here get freaked out with Araragi's weird faces coming in different flavors in this ep? He always makes me expected him to go nuts at any moment over Hitagi's "OVER 90 cm!!!" butt & created "Hitagi RAEP part 2" . What a freak :o |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| the animation was a bit over the top. not to mention too ordinary by their standards. i should not have to see too much of another anime into a new one. they could make it their "own" without really making it too similar to what they have done or always do. as far as story though it played out well. her character changed a bit too much though. i guess that's what you become when u can feel again. |
| I wasn't expecting that much fanservice but I liked it lol. It was as enjoyable as the first episode. Now that Hitagi's situation has been resolved I'm curious to see where the story goes from here. |
 |
| The fanservice was actually pretty good. Understand a lot more now with this episode. The show is great but also seems a little weird at times. |
noteDhero said: Not much else to say, it feels like Mononoke, SZS, and Mushishi had a baby. That's exactly what I was thinking. Ooshino = Ginko :p For some reason, I have a feeling that the opening will be different in the next episode. |
  |
 Saw it on /a/. lol. |
|
| I loved the episode but I have to say I'm going to be disappointed if we completely lose her sharp tongue and she turns all nice. That was the highlight for me. How she was so dangerous while also a complete smart-ass. |
| Romance comedy anime - Japan's gift to America |
| fan service + word play + dramatic parts + good animation = WIN.. now i have no more doubts about continuing this series.. |

How she was so dangerous while also a complete smart-ass. I don't think we've seen the last of that Senjougahara. Anyway great episode, I like how they dug deep into Senjougahara's past and resolved her problems, but I thought that would have taken up the whole series. Well it'll be interesting to see how the story continues from here and man did Araragi gain some weight XD. I don't think we've seen the last of her either. I think that weight was added to him for reason to be later revealed, which will result in the return of Senjougahara. |
| Awesome episode, seeing into her past, discovering what ailed her, interaction between 2 MC's, no action is needed for this anime to be good. Haven't seen something that I felt was this original and fun to watch since Higashi no eden (even though that wasn't that long ago xD) |
| i can say with 100% certainty that this is the best anime for the summer even after only seeing 2 episodes. 5/5. i can't wait to see where this anime goes. i know it doesn't sound too realistic, but i hope there's some romance :3 |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| I really enjoyed this episode, having been explained further about the mystery of Senjogahara's missing weight being her "heavy" feelings towards the childhood incident. They really delved into Senjogahara's mind and I got to understand her much better. I also liked the fact that they still managed to keep the mood light, despite the depressing and dramatic talk about cults and emotional scarring, with Senjogahara's mockery, Araragi's reaction to fan service and him being woken up by his sisters. Honestly, this anime seems to have everything from close observations of the characters and drama to great action scenes and comedy. Also when his weight almost doubled...he wasn't depressed by even half as much as Senjogahara was when she found out about her own weight issues. Why? lol~ Also worth noting that this week's OP was quite good as well, which makes me look forward to the next OP, and maybe the next ED since Senjogahara arc is now over. |

| Great episode. I feel the urge to staple something. |
 |
izzy92 said: Staplers... hmmh. Well at least in this one she got her feelings back which is a good thing. But the guy gained 45 kilos!! That's a lot. :/ He grew a brain :D |
 |
| lol, as explained in the episode, omoi in Japanese can mean "feelings", as well as "weight/heavy" when written with a different kanji.... I also lol'ed at the insertion of kanji all over the place. They actually mean a lot if you understand them. I liked when they used the ancient seal script kanji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_Script Actually, the covers of Japanese passports were written with seal script..... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
Hybrid00 said: Pretty lame comparison.Haylias said: Saw it on /a/. lol. Agree. Also, Oshino is badass. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I love this series so far. Araragi's sisters are cute. :) |
    |
| guess this is one of the better series this season, and a few side notes: Oshino, why do you look like a pervert? Cute sister's you've got Araragi. Fuck Yeah for sketchy Gods : D |

| Hm, I think Shinobu's reminding me of Rika Furude from Higurashi in her dejected state. I'm wondering if her character ends up coming into play later on~ |
     |
| So Araragi gains 45 kilos, the same weight as Hitagi. Does this somehow mean that he's carrying her burdens as well? Or implying that he wants to carry her burdens? It would be so LOL if he became "responsible" for her. mcjazzman32 said: I loved the episode but I have to say I'm going to be disappointed if we completely lose her sharp tongue and she turns all nice. That was the highlight for me. How she was so dangerous while also a complete smart-ass. I don't think she's going to lose that sharp tongue. She's still yandere after all. That was just a dere moment. :P |

| This is my favorite show this season. Holy god...I'm just...in awe. Too bad, like Ef, this will probably never see an American dvd release because I would kill to own physical copies of this anime. And that's just from seeing the first two episodes. |
| pretty nice episode. the animation is really cool. i wonder if next episode story would be completely diferent, because this seemed like it ended there. |
 |
Dayan said: pretty nice episode. the animation is really cool. i wonder if next episode story would be completely diferent, because this seemed like it ended there. Yes it would seem so but as mentioned in the synopsis the preceeding chapters will play a substantial role for the subsequent chapters. In what way I don't know though. :D |

DarkSageRK said: Oosran said: Well.. they DID say those Gods were a sketchy bunch so .. : D Sketchy is not the right translation. It would make more sense to use "careless." Hopefully the last bit makes more sense now. oh well, to be completely honest, I would probably be able to use both sketchy and careless in the same kind of sentence.. it kinda makes the same sense to me anyway : p |

| Very interesting, I guess she's a cancer being born July 7th. Hmmm I do want my bloody gore in the opening thought it will be like Elfen Lied or Gantz. (; |
 |
| I'm going to miss "old" Senjoughara though I can't really complain about her new personality. |
