*readies tissues* please don't let me down again...

Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!! Everything was as I expected!!!!!!!

So this is the legendary episode which features the tooth brushing on new masturbatory levels, uh? I found it funny and I'll get more fun from those perverts and whiners coments :heh:. I didn't want to but I'll give this a 10! No dull Hitagi nor dull Hanakawa (I used to be her fan before her lol character development). Even the ED card was awesome!

Oh... man, what an episode. Precure reference just killed me.
Tsukihi's OP is weird as all hell though.

So many gifs will be born tonight...

I personally am a fan of incestuous theme, so the episode was to my liking...... but boy, did they push the envelop with both, dialogue and the visual. Yes, there will be gifs.... at least for one scene... :p

I'll also need to catch up to the last three episodes to make sense of this new version of Tsukihi-chan. Right now all indications are that the previous arc has concluded. Back to episode 8. :)

wow pretty intense episode in lots ways than one. Hot big imouto and onii-chan superb brushing techniques but little imouto just got to arrive at the right time :heh: :heh: Subaru sensei! :p

o_o;

what did I just watch?

Obviously the birth of a new fetish. :heh:

Anyone that is still holding back at watching the episode but clicked at the above link anyway, that's a toothbrush by the way. :heh:

PRAISE THE GODS!

That is all....


(I wish I could watch 24minutes of Araragi x Hitagi..... -_-)

I... uh....

words fail me. That ep was unbelievable.

ah....the happiness....i salute shaft for uncensor toothbrush....so many gifs tonight i can't wait and it was a perfect adaptation... yes the dark side of incest haters will be strong...but even so SUPERB episode i could not ask for more and that ost was brilliant its like the sound of our expectations in that scene!

nisemonogatari 8 will always be in my heart (and my pc,notebook,itouch...)

opening was beast,
episode was awesome
Tooth brushing FTW!!!! xD

OMFG. That was so much win! Never thought one could do those things with just a toothbrush. I salute you Japan!

lol if Hitagi ever gets to find out what Araragi did this episode, oh boy :heh: :heh:

Also, DAT OP. MOEEEEEEEEEEE OVERLOAD!
brb checking Kanon-kun into a hospital, he lost too much blood from dat OP :heh:

I had no idea this was coming. I knew there was going to be a toothbrush scene but to this degree, I had no idea. It was amazing nonetheless, I got so caught up in it, the 24 mins went by in a flash. Episode 8, what a gift.

Oh god. As much as I'm torn between incest material, this episode was just win :heh: Leave it up to SHAFT to make tooth brushing such an erotic act. When Karen said "Iiyo" I was like, "Kittaaaaaa." Of course they were interrupted, but they ended up continuing anyway after she left?! I don't care about their relationship anymore, I just want moar!! :heh: Araragi seems to think Tsubasa > Karen > Hitahi now anyhow:heh:

Given the episode title "Tsukihi Phoenix, Part 1", I feel like i was trolled. And I feel so good about it. :D

On one hand, I want to say Koyomi and Karen are definitely brother and sister. On the other, I want to ask "Westermarck, why have you forsaken them?"

What. The. F#$*. did I just watch?!?!?

10/10!!

I don't know what to say about this, I certainly don't know what to say. I need some times to think properly after seeing this...

:heh:

As one of the people who have read the novels, I have to say it was GLORIOUS. The direction, the animation, the music... everything was perfect. I would give this episode 11/10 if I could.

If for nothing else, this episode alone will be remembered as the harbinger of a new fetish for a ton of people.

But damn, seriously. To be honest, I kinda like this, if you're really going to go full fanservice you better not half-ass it, and this one delivers in all fronts. The scenes alone are literally sexier than porn, Eri Kitamura's moans can make criminals out of decent men, and the visuals and the soundtrack is simply heavenly (no seriously, I want that BGM). Speaking of, the new opening is amazing too, were it not for Ren'ai Circulation I'd easily put it at the top of all Monogatari OP so far.

Btw, is this going to be a pattern now? First episode of Karen Bee doesn't have Karen and now she's taking over the first episode of Tsukihi Roadrunner, will Tsukihi dominate the first episode of the new arc when the new season comes around as well?

I don't know what to think about their relationship. What Koyomi thinks about his little sister ? What about Senjouhara. It seems to me that he loves Senjouhara and find his little sister attractive (but doesn't love her as she (Karen) loves him).

And how should I rate this episode serioulsy :heh:

Perfect 10

i will never look at a toothbrush the same way again.

Well.... Where should I start?.... Well, one thing for sure... I didn't know a tooth brushing scene could look so erotic. :heh:

You might wanna put that in spoiler tags. It's NSFW after all...

Damn it CR! I was wondering what the ending card people were talking about was, as a Shinobu fan I approve!

Ummm yeah. Didn't think the episode would turn out like this. Well that's fanservice :heh:.

Can't say I expected this episode to turn into Koyomi and Karen doing something like that. Figured the toothbrush was shocking enough, but it got pretty heavy there. If Tsukihi hadn't shown up there things would have gotten pretty....well yeah.

Wth this episode. That was so wrong. Is it original material or no ?
Hitagi will definitely kill Araragi :p

First time i saw toothbrush fetishes :heh:
The new op is pretty good.

That's the pattern of the first season. Each heroine reppears again in the next story. Before Karen Bee there was Koyomi Vamp, so we had Shinobu there.

That OP [Platinum Disco] is too godly. TOO EPIC. So much win in 89 seconds.


Where the downloads at♥ This is going to be my new ringtone for the next few months or so.

This episode was amazing on so many different levels. It gets close enough to a ten for a round up.

This was indeed a pretty damn glorious episode.

The first scene (Koyomi explaining things about Tsukihi) and the opening song/animation really sort of rekindled my infatuation with Tsukihi. I guess it's just refreshing to see her in new clothes/having different hairstyles.

The OP itself was pretty good. Cute singing coupled with a cute dance animation = win. With Hitagi cutting her hair, someone needs to be there to offer me some ponytail service :heh: I don't mind the long bobbed hair either, though. I can't help but think of the various times this show has alluded to her "scary side". We have seen her with a kitchen knife, just now she went to buy an awl and Koyomi has described her as more frightening than Karen. Just how much is Tsukihi hiding?

The toothbrush scene was great. Incest as a theme or a device is really powerful. It really makes you look at a character in sort of a different light. Makes you pass judgement on them, in some way. I would dare to say that even the most naive watchers, who think of Koyomi as nothing else but your regular harem owner, wake up to the true level of his pervertedness. Karen isn't exactly innocent, either. I mean, why in the world did she get the idea that Koyomi wanted to insert the toothbrush into her butt? I guess she's just imaginative :heh:

I haven't read the novels, so I don't know if this was a "one off" situation. They didn't go there, but they both wanted to, at one point.
That quote itself could be interpreted in a number of ways. The blue sky and feathers also hint to something. Total freedom? Having been touched by the divine? Basically, they can't go all the way because Tsukihi's retaliation will be something truly horrifying. To quote omimon:
There were many other great things. Koyomi's faces are really getting out of control :heh: The first one has a particularly sinister feel to it.

Also, this scene just cracked me up in the end.

And what the hell is going on in this frame? I'm getting Zetsubou-sensei vibes from it.

... wait, they were planning on going for ANOTHER toothbrush round?

Well. I think it's pretty clear. After Tsukihi had left:
And after that we see them getting close, almost kissing, the toothbrush flashes, and they fall together.

I ended up watching the episode few more times :heh:
Aside from the toothbrush scene, I noticed that Araragi started to call his sister by their name plus chan now. Araragi is becoming more honest with himself. I wish I could've gotten some reaction on sister's side.
And Araragi stepping on Karen's head... Hitagi must be rubbing off of him. We also see Karen going into threatening mode when the nice cute imouto antics didn't work. And, Karen's initial imagination of sticking the toothbrush into her anus... fearsome thought indeed.
Araragi's various faces toward his situation were very fun to watch as we..

And behold, the newest tool to foreplay.

Why not go for another round? They're going to be brutally murdered by Tsukihi either way.:D Might as well have some enjoyment before their imminent demise.:heh:

just add her to the fun :heh:

Yeah. I entertained this thought as well. I don't know how big of a motif the relationship between Karen and Koyomi is going to be in Tsukihi Phoenix. One possibility is to focus on Tsukihi and how she deals with it during the arc. Given how the whole family seems to be bro/siscons, I wouldn't be surprised if Tsukihi joined Koyomi and Karen in a lovely threesome. Only available in Blu-ray, though! :heh:
