Plot seems more interesting than the first series, although the humor was just as good in Bakemono.

Senjougahara ended up apologizing? What in the world just happened!? Now I am dying to know what they were talking about. Hanekawa seems to have got something on Senjougahara.

As always the Gahara and Churaragi relationship is just lovely to watch. Her insults just gets better and better. God I just love it! Lmfao when she grabbed his head then then stuck her fingers in his mouth. Haha @ when did Kanbaru put a mirror in front of her house, just winnn all around. Senjougahara blushing = so cutee <3.

Also cool to see the plot going now.

This episode got me fired up even more, the anime is becoming very interesting, as I expected.
It might even be better than Bakemonogatari if anything can get better :)

This series has gone from smutty to serious in a hurry. And I very much like it! They really drove home the ominous vibe from Kaiki in this episode. The only thing that stood out more than him was seeing Hanekawa stand Senjougahara down over the phone. What the hell is going on there?!

The relationship dynamics between Koyomi and Hitagi are incredible, as always. I never imagined that Hitagi, of all people, would come to tell him such praise this episode. And that Koyomi broke all his physical restraints like nothing upon seeing his sister was in trouble. You know it's really, really serious when such improbable things happen. So, looking forward to the next episode.

Gotta admit that Araragi was a complete badass when he broke free from his restraints.
No idea what's going on, but it's something good... I think...

Kinda glad this episode didnt turn out to be pure fanservice like the last haha

I couldnt stop myself from smiling throughout the convo between Ararararagi and Gahara.

At least the benefit of not following this series while it was airing is that now I can watch the next ep w/o having to impatiently wait a week :3

Araragi could have probably broken all those handcuffs and chains anytime he wanted. Seeing his sister in trouble forced him into action. And what does Hanekawa have on Senjougahara? She was kinda being out of character there.

Every time, and I mean every fucking time, that Senjougahara and Araragi have a scene together it's excellent. Interesting stuff at the end there.

Yeah, I still don't like that crazy girl, Senjougahara. And I don't understand how can a nice guy Araragi love someone like her who pretty much threatens him and chains him up... I guess it's the modern way of expressing your love, huh?

I didn't expect a villain-like character in this show. I hope he doesn't hurt Araragi's sisters, nor anyone else really.

He's an A-Class Pervert living every fetish imaginable. masochism is just one of them.

Scenes with Senjougahara were great. Also, Araragi just playing along with the chains and then breaking free when his sister was in trouble was so smooth. I really like their interactions - I've never seen it before in any other anime I've seen. Plot seems to be taking a direction with this Kaiki guy showing up.

Loved this episode. Great dialogue.


Also I've noticed for a while now. There are ABSOLUTELY NO background characters. Not one minor character in the series, just the main ones.
No students or people walking on the street.

Kind of unique, I don't remember any other anime to do that.

First male character introduced since episode 1 of Bakemonogatari.

I'll laugh if the text from his sister is actually over something trivial and stupid.

Yeah, the only other anime I've seen to do that is Mawaru Penguindrum. Technically the background characters are portrayed as like stick figures, but still basically the same feel. I kinda like it, while I appreciate details, it lets them focus more on important things.

Araragi and Senjougahara are made for each other. She's a sadist and he's a masochist. However, judging from the way he broke out of those handcuff, I have no doubt that he could beat the shit out of her if he really wanted to.

This series so far has made me think I'm somewhat a fan of random, almost pointlessly irrelevant conversations and interactions. Enjoying this series so far.

Senjougahara's not getting much better for me. I don't HATE her, but I definitely don't like her. Sometimes her talks with Araragi are nice and interesting, but other times she just makes me say "Jeez, stop being such a bee-yitch."

On the other hand, I think Araragi's getting cooler every episode.

Awesome episode, best of them so far. Got to see more senjougahara than we have been, and judging by the ending maybe we will get some more Black Hanekawa :)

Love that Akira nod, too.

Kanbaru is one of my favorite :)
She's so straight forward.

But of course, Senjougahara is the best, she's such a crazy girlfriend xD
I wonder what she talked with Hanekawa.

Also, what did that Kaiki did to her? And why would she protect Araragi from a scammer?

I guess next episode will start for real Karen arc.

First off, Sengoku being the final boss, oh that is so true.

Secondly, if any of us had forgotten, now we remember why we love Senjougahara, but what the hell did Hanekawa say to make her completely kneel?

Then there's the call of help from Karen...next episode.
