Bakemonogatari

I liked the OP same as everyone, but I didn't like that this makes two episodes in a row with no Senjougahara (though cute bloomers girl does make up for it slightly).

well this is a refreshing anime about youkais there's barely any anime like taht anymore
I still remember Nube, it was awesome

It's funny how they mention that he goes out of his way to help people, but in reality the only people he helps are pretty girls.

^maybe because all the girls in that anime are pretty? -lol-

Well, episode 10 is a good one. Meme practically bashed Koyomi for being too much of a "hero" type, saying that he can't save them all. He keeps attracting oddities. And Koyomi can't always rely on Meme for things like this.

Koyomi learned it the hard way when he was on a crossroads on saving Nadeko. He can't save both the victim and the perpetrator, he can only choose one road.

I think Nadeko's crush is Koyomi, given the numerous hints. I wonder how she will react if he finds out Koyomi already has a girlfriend.

And the OP was criminal, really cute.

I'm pissed by the fact Senjougahara didn't get ANY screentime.

Gotta agree. That alone makes me wanna watch the anime.

Thus is why I'm not a big fan of Shaft.




Funny you'd say that when he obviously learned nothing at all. When he was thinking to himself that he doesn't deserve to be thanked, it showed how he regrets not being able to save everyone that if given another chance, he would still chase after the constrictor to prevent it from harming anyone; even if that anyone is the very person who had caused the damage done.


I doubt that she'll ever get the chance to find out. As if her role was anything crucial to begin with; one could only be so thankful enough if ever she should get anymore appearances than she already have.

PS: Yay for an even lesser Senjougahara screen time; there was ultimately NONE! :razz:

Oh my god so wonderfully random and confusing!

I haven't watched much of it but I hope I see more vampires!

Well, people learn things but that doesn't mean they follow it all the time, it's like learning the truth but still deny it.

He did learn it from Meme but apparently he still wanted to save everyone he could, and he did get a verbal slap from Suruga reminding him of his priorities. But I still think he accepted it somehow when he tearfully apologized to Suruga.

I wonder how his attitude about this will play out in the succeeding oddity, er, episode. It's the class rep episode part, am I right?

Which completely amounts to nothing, clearly contradicting the basic aspects of learning. Imo, we don't exactly learn something from simply knowing about it. We could only say that we did learn something after being able to accept the facts and putting such knowledge into use. We didn't just go to school to study and learn things by the book right? We also performed various kinds of experiments and countless of practical activities and along with those things, we came to learn the importance of being independent, being responsible, being punctual, etc etc; All in preparation of when we finally step out into the vast (overly populated) world as adults.

Please tell me that you get what I'm saying... :lol:


All that he ever accepted was the fact that he no longer was capable of saving the other person. And whether or not Oshino reminded him, it's not like he's completely unaware of it himself. I'd say it's within his personality or principles in life, perhaps, that he cannot restrain himself from sticking his nose into other people's business or oddity for that matter. It's not something that one can change overtime; not even from the cruelest of all experiences.

Btw, did he really "tearfully" apologize to Kanbaru?


Tsubasa Cat is indeed Hanekawa's arc. I do wonder if there's gonna be some sort of a dilemma here which should closely resemble that of the previous arc, wherein Araragi could prove to me that he did learn something from the past scenario/incident.

Yeah, I took what you said into consideration and while I can't completely agree with you as you must have noticed in my response, I'm not saying that you were totally wrong about everything.

I say he did. He hasn't apologized to anyone else yet, not Oshino, and not Hitagi.

I get your point. Well, let's just leave it at that, don't want to delve too much on this ^_^

I think he did "tearfully" apologize even if it was like, off-cam. The manner and sound of his voice while apologizing is my only basis.

Hm... pretty much I'm piqued by the remaining arcs as well. You're right; nobody changes too quickly. Probably it will take another to make Koyomi realize what Meme said.

On a completely unrelated side note (I can't resist), October's just a few weeks away ^_^

Episode 11 is out, Wouldn't you treasure a cute loli's Bloomer's and Swimsuit.

Black Hanekawa is So hot, Dam those cat ears...

nekomimi FTW

Good point.


Now that I just went back on it to check, it did pretty much seem to be that way.

Now that I think about it, I may have rather been inattentive but what might have caused me to lose focus was the fact that I had to stop and think a while if something went wrong with the video concerning the following "no-sequence" part, most importantly while I was thinking how lame/pathetic Araragi's face looked in this frame:



PS: October being just around the corner brings about some uncertain mixed-emotions in me, with most of the series that I'm highly enjoying coming to end.

You're not the only 1 =(. Phantom...Valkyria..Princess.. *sigh* Well let's look at the bright side Hermit.... we have new anime to discuss atleast :D

...how did I not hear of this? Amazing series!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, episode 11 came out, sub'd, yesterday. If so, I was just wondering how come Zero hasn't created an episode discussion thread for it yet and why do the bandwagon guys haven't started commenting about it either...

Anyways, as you probably know, I still haven't seen it myself. I'm only posting now to make a guess as to what's up, wherein I could only assume that there was once again NO Senjougahara to be seen in this episode; I bet! :razz: If that's indeed the case then I'd certainly be looking forward to this, with EYES WIDE OPEN solely for Hanekawa. :D

In my case, it's because I found ghostlightning and panther to put out some very intelligent stuff on the matter. So my "output" went to a different location. Additionally, it's because the past arc was pretty straightforward and there's really not much to speculate in Tsubasa Cat Part 1 (you'll see what I mean when you watch the episode).

Also, there is indeed no Hitagi this episode.
