| lol. I felt like I was watching a slideshow here. |
Aionic said: This episode was a joke. Near to no animation, most times not even when people were speaking, lower quality art and, on the whole, the snake arc was just boring. The constant 'colour screen' flashes that attempted to mask the non-existent animation, as well as the 10+ moon shots really pissed me off. This has to be the worst animated episode I've ever seen. QFT At least the could have made the constricting part a bit better and reveal more flesh, that would give some entertainment value^^ Again the opening was better than the actual episode.. |
| Greatest OP ever. Episode itself was mediocre, worst episode so far. |
EmeraldBliss said: Bakemonogatari is the most overrated show this season. I totally agree. And to think I was excited to start this after the high praise it got from everyone I talked to. I haven't fully enjoyed an episode yet. I also think Senjougahara is extremely overrated, even more so than the show itself. There is nothing about her that is likeable in my eyes. |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Too bad about this episode. I could handle the cuts until they had that frame of Koyomi with that retarded look on his face while he was crying up for 20 seconds. The ending was too abrupt as well. Feels like a few things were left too loose compared to the other arcs thus far. I'm kind of curious to see how much better the DVD version will be, but not interseted enough to actually watch it. Will need to check back once it comes out. |
| Being too kind has the disadvantage o_o |
| I thought when Red, Black & white & crap came up it symbolised something. I tried to think what... Just incomplete Animation lmao. But I still loved this episode, With the Swimsuit & all... |
| Darn snake got away, I wonder if it will come back later in the series? Hmmm... |
| yet another episode without Senjougahara :'( |
| Damn Araragi, why are you trying to save everyone? Just freaking save cute girls and you're good to go, damnit. I guess it's really hard to fight something that you can't see, and I find that scene where the snake was constricting Sengoku to be fan service. :> and still, where's Senjougahara!? 2 episodes without her dang. |

The anime you watch is extremely overrated. |
| I love how theres a new OP for every arc and again, no senjougahara T_T |
| so that solves the snake problem, now araragi needs to stop trying to save everyone he encounters and he'll be good |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures |
| Lots of ups and downs on this episode... but mostly downs >.> I disliked the fact that they had to cut a lot of animations. And Araragi acting like a saint again.. makes me feel like puking all over the screen or punching his nuts right out of his mouth, if he even has one. Seriously, crying about failing to save a person(he doesn't even know) who tried to curse/kill a poor innocent girl. Who does he think he is? Jesus 2.0? His character is just getting more annoying each episode. I despise weak-goody2shoes lead male protagonists. I was ok with him in the beginning.. but every new episode he seem to disappoint me more and more. He always gets his ass handed to him, and he fails at being a man and a boyfriend. |
| I liked it :D |
| Wow 2 snakes. >_> And Araragi's fetish is swimsuits. x] Also why no Senjouhara this episode? :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| The new op was cute. I remember watching it months ago. I did not like how they "encored" whatever was happening with the snake. They did not do that when he fought Kenboru. Overall it was on OK arc. I wonder if this is going to have a second season. |
| Even though it's getting old, I just have to say this: the OP was cute~ All the OPs of Bakemono are really well made. As for the haters... go hide under a bridge, no one is forcing you to watch. I really hope we get more Hitagi next episode. |
| for me this show started as a 9 because it was interesting then the odd eye shots, views, etc. started to take a toll and i dropped to a 8 now poor animation... |

| fuck if i'd known they were going to cut out THIS much i would have got bluray FUCJIDNGWUINFDQNUEFOIQWUNFPSAJF()AJS)F(J)(((((#*#Y@*$^&@#^$*&@ |
| Wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but still I love Sengoku, she is so cute~~ |
| The new op is awesome. So he finally realized that he can't save everyone ? that's a start ! |
alwaysbored said: The new op is awesome. So he finally realized that he can't save everyone ? that's a start ! So you DO keep watching this even when you say this show is boring... Hope you enjoy it. Sorry for being annoying... |
| The battle between the snake and Araragi was kinda spoiled by too much black/red/white frames imo. >.> |
| Hmm... this seriously isn't getting any better, it's getting worse. It's always the same, but I don't want to drop it in the last few Episodes. Well, if I can't stand it anymore I will have to. (Max. 5/10 at this stand) |
| It seems like only half of this show is animated and we're just staring at pictures with voices in the background... |
| ^^^ To all the posts which complain about the lack of animation. Did you watch the blu-ray version like I did? I didn't see any lack of animation. |
| Slide show series. And needs more Hitagi, the reason why I liked this series in the first place. Also, the original OP is better. If this keeps up, I may lower my rating. |
| I love this series but the 3'd animation just is so stupid it hurts. |
| Do you know the muffin man who disappeared recently?, Yea me neither. |
| second half of the episode felt like it was a waste of my time. also, disliked the op, and actually pretty much all the op were bad so far, ever since the snail ones theyve felt like a joke, completely ruining the serious overtone. but i guess thats what they intended since i don't like it, huh? >>" |

| loved the music |
| Op was cutteeee, I know its pretty far in but what are all the black/white/red pages for? |
| This is the first show Ive seen where they actually made stills to cover their unfinished work. How bad is that? First half was great, but the second half was awful. |
| I'm getting tired of all these sex-jokes. And what was with the fanservice... Nadeko's moaning and her swimsuit and the angles and damn that ahoge of Araragi is WEIRD.The zoom-ins on everything and the not animated parts annoyed me big time. Nah anyway. The "please look at me"-dialogue with Araragi and Nadeko reminded me of Jungle Book's snake who repeatedly said, 'Look me in the eyes, please, both eyes please'. I somewhat liked the 'fight' between Araragi and the 'snake constrictor'-thing. |
| After watching the BD version of this episode, I must say I enjoyed it MUCH more than whatever version I watched before. The scenes with the snake were much more gripping and intense than before and very well animated. To anyone disappointed, try and get your hands on the DVD or BD version and rewatch it. And to all who say Bakemono is boring, I cant argue that this anime is the most action packed or intense, but srsly...this is just a different style. Lots of people find Durarara! to be awesome and amazing but I personally found it to be a snooze-fest, so what did I do? I stopped watching it. To each his own. Don't like it? Drop it, but don't rate it low or bash it, just accept the fact that its not for you. |
| it was an interesting episode to keep me watching it :) i love the new OP <3 |

| I guess I watched the Blu ray version because the animation in the fight scene with the snake was well done and pretty intense. Good episode. |

| This episode was pretty good. I love the new opening. <3 |

| Man, I wanna grow up to be able to fight invisible snakes too! Especially ones wrapped around cute girls! Har har har |
