Bakemonogatari

Care to elaborate?

I've got no idea what this guy really is all about yet at the same time, I don't think I wanna find out more than what I already know.


Why Aya Hirano? Why cast a seiyuu even!? - such a mystery it truly is...


Most apparently not this year. Try asking again after episodes 14 and 15 have been streamed.

Shinobu....
The mystery is....
If from the episode one is true...
She transform to a loli!!!!
How???
and of course the thing that I actually called mystery is...
Why Oshino said he is busy....
Why Shinobu walks alone....

well, Oshino was burning something when Araragi and Hanekawa arrived so it's safe to say it's something related to the whole "busy" issue (it could be part of a ritual).
another mystery is how did Mayoi recognize Shinobu when they haven't met?

as for the Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade to Heart-Under-Blade (Shinobu) transformation, we need to wait for the Golden Week arc.

I think this will help refresh some memory.


I also hope that this pics will help you forget about those arcs that might never come.....

Didn't expect anyone would ask me for this crap, although (admittedly) a far superior crap than the previous or rather less crappy than the other (both still being crap nonetheless).

Something amiss? Let me know.

PS: If there's anything else, post it here for faster notice; as I only log-in when I feel like posting anyway (which is 'rarely' nowadays). And as always, Mayoi<3some!

I'm late to the party, having just watched up till episode 13. Since I'm a fan of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, I owed it to myself to watch this, and I wasn't disappointed. Love the witty dialogue, layered characters and trippy art style.

I'm also really interested in seeing Kizumonogatari animated. Remember the first few minutes of episode 1? That was when Koyomi got attacked by the blonde bombshell of a vampire, Shinobu (before lolification)...

But Shaft has to finish 14 & 15 first, I guess. Wonder if they can top their broadcast finale of 12, which was amazing. Can't wait!

Here's a delicious parting present.

I'm desperately waiting for the last two episodes, I have a vague idea of what happens but I still want to see it all, I'm guessing SHAFT is busy with 'Dance in the Vampire Bund'

Hopefully there will be a season 2 for Bakemonogatari, we still have the Vamp arc we need to see [heck i'm desperate to see, I actually have the light novel it's self but I can't read japanese :( ]
And I think theres at least one or two more books thats out that are yet to be animated, and this year we're getting even more from the author, so maybe SHAFT are waiting for more of the novels to be released? I can only hope so :(

Clearly, SHAFT do not know of the word "prioritize". Dance in the Vampire Bund? Hidamari Sketch? --for crying out LOUD-- those two are just back burner shows in comparison, nothing major in fact.

I really do not mind waiting (if those two remaining episodes would prove to be worth the 'weight'), it's just that my interest doesn't seem to be holding up very well after so long.


Or so I've heard that Amazon listed BD and DVD editions of "Kizumonogatari" and "Nisemonogatari" — the prequel and sequel, respectively, to NisiOisin's Bakemonogatari...

And though SHAFT, per se, was most responsible for Bakemonogatari's fame, I don't really trust them well enough to be able to make another hit out of other-related NisiOisin works; there's no such guarantee. All I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be SHAFT. As long as the material is good, any anime surely will strive just by the correct approach and the right budget; take Katanagatari's first episode.

PS: Just so in case you're still looking for it, sun1.

Wow thank you so much for that link, it's gotten me all excited for Bakemonogatari all over again :D Maybe they do plan on animating them, but only for dvd/bd releases, which I don't mind too much, better than streaming a low quality version on the website.

And I agree, I suppose it doesn't really have to be SHAFT to animate, I just hope that if another studio was to take the Bakemonogatari project the looks and quality wouldn't change too much, since it is a very well detailed anime.

Although one other thing I want from them is an OST CD, I know we have the openings and such but I want the actual tunes we get in the anime, the piano tune I love! (the one used where Senjoughara is walking around naked.) *sigh* I suppose we'll have to be patient. :(

And there you have it. As of now, no Kizumonogatari or Nisemonogatari.

Argh damn it ;____; I suppose I can only force myself to learn japanese to read the actual novels.

I started this and finished today. Very excellent series, but not rly going to my supah favourite series.

The way it was done was very interesting. Thou will be waiting the last ep for the story D=

I'd rate it for 9/10 for now. ^-^

And Hitagi is very hawt O=
Hmph not much to say about this greatness.

Just realized we should be getting the last two episodes streamed either very soon, or near the end of the month on DVD. The Tsubasa Cat Vol.1 and 2 come out on the 24th this month, so unless it's delayed we shouldn't have to wait long to finally see the rest of this anime.

^Say, do you know where i can watch the DVD or Blu-ray version of episode 9 and 10?

You're in luck, they're in the process of being translated over at Baka-Tsuki. So far they've done a couple of chapters of Bakemonogatari vol. 1 and Kizumonogatari.

Anyone got news episode 15?

Do you mean episode 14, because no, we haven't. I'm thinking that Shaft might just release them as BD/DVD without the webcasts.

I just checked the website and theres an interview with the director I believe on there, it says that all voice work for episode 14 is done, as is most of the animation and something else is just lef, I don't know what due to google translate not really translating well at all xD

I can't make out whether we'll be getting it as a webcast anytime soon, it mentions something about next week, I don't know if that means we're getting it then or it's completed then. But either way we're getting it this month since this current Arcs dvd is due on the 24th, both Volumes.

Assuming episode 14 ends the current arc, I can only guess that episode 15 will be Kizumonogatari, in which case I hope it's an hour long or something :S

Everything I've heard indicates that episode 15 will end Tsubasa Cat.

I have to get back into this series. I watched up to episode six and then got really sidetracked. I'm watching TTGL and FMAB and Ladies Vs. Butlers and Omamori Himari and Sayanora Zetsubou Sensei right now. I really just gotta focus on one anime.
