Yeah its very accurate, and with a good sub Freeze-Frame Bonus even gives his Novel thoughts in a single frame at times.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!I think its really the Florence Nightingale Effect at work for a lot of them especially Nadeko.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Honestly, one of the main appeals of all of the girls is that there's a creepy factor to all of them. Even the ones that aren't outright dangerous are untrustworthy at times, and are damaged to one degree or another. It makes them unpredictable. Kanbaru demonstrates quite effectively that love can make you volatile and dangerous, and that's part of what gives Nadeko's little crush teeth, even if she never really does anything to validate the creepy. It helps that she's just young enough — and like Heatth said, sensual enough — to make it uncomfortable.
Hilarious from begening to every end. I don't even know, what I should point out (except Araragi being total pedophile and massive Leaning on the Fourth Wall)
Anyway best anime of this season so far (I think chance for being better than these that have yet to come is pretty high as well)

So we did have a Kudere who liked to think of herself as a Tsundere, but now it's looking more like Yandere. Oh my.
While Araragi is hilariously like a tsundere lolicon (although that was carried on a bit too far this episode IMHO).
Of course it was interesting to find out something about Araragi's sisters.
Holy shit, Senjougahara is even more yandere than usual in the first episode of Nise. And Koyomi is unexpectedly ripped. O_O
Otherwise though, not much actually happened int his episode. you know, even less than in most Bakemonogatari episodes.

SPATULA, Supporters of Page Altering To Urgently Lead to Amelioration (supports not going through TRS for tweaks and minor improvements.)As some people pointed out in another board, maybe the episode was intended to be a bridge between Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari.
Anyways, I know speculating is useless since all the answers are out there in the light novels (which I havent read) but at the end of the episode I sort of thought it was hinted that Hachikuji would be leaving like Oshino did so maybe that was a goodbye.
Also, aparently he gets kidnapped the very same day the episode takes place. Could it be that Senjôgahara is upset at something, or is she afraid Araragi will try to save someone/be hunted down by something, and its just traying to protect him while teasing him? After all, he has shown to be quite willing to embark on suicide missions before. But maybe she is just doing it for the Lulz, since that is the sort of thing she would do, If I remember correctly she has warned Araragi before of ripping his skin off and that sort of thing so it isnt that surprising.
There is also the fact that, because he stayed behind to "play" with Hachikuji he sort of left Nadeko waiting for him. Add to that that Hanekawa is having some sort of trouble so... there ya go.
I also loved the quality...
But, even do it was awesome, what I want to see is more of the Araragi sisters. Someone above said that the mayor appeal of Koyomi´s "harem" was that they all were creepy some way or another. In one of the promos the Araragi sisters say "we are not making justice, we are justice"...

I will always cherish the chance of a new beggining.I thought it was pretty clear that Senjougahara had an actual fear. Probably saving him from himself, to prevent a repeat of what happened in the Suruga Monkey arc. She doesn't seem like the type to do this for no good reason, even if she enjoys it a bit too much.

I thought the series was meta and Megaphone Hanging before but man they hit it out of the park there. wondering if we are going to dance in the ending.... Haha.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!![]()
Well he specifically mentions that so that is probably the likeliest thing to happen.
Koyomi says something like "In this kind of situation Kanbaru would do that (feed him)" to which she replies "but what happened when I saw her with you?"
And they didnt dance at the end
I also didnt get the Evangelion reference...

The anime is so accurate to the light novels that I gave up reading the translations before I reached the last available chapters because it was as if someone had transcribed the anime.
...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.
