MC: Yoshida Hisanori (NB: he also hosted the WORKING!! Great Summer Thanksgiving) and co-host...Oshino Shinobu (er...she was responsible for the character-design pics, I think).
Cast members: - (from the start) Kamiya Hiroshi, Saitou Chiwa, Katou Emiri, Sawashiro Miyuki, Hanazawa Kana, Horie Yui
- (from the middle somewhere) Sakurai Takahiro, Kitamura Eri and Iguchi Yuka
Opening comments:- Yoshida notes that Kamiya is currently the most enviable guy in the vicinity.
- When Chiwa Chiwa is talking about whether Hitagi is a "tsundere" or "tundra", she notes instead that what she remembers most is "Senjogahara-tore", and nico viewers promptly showed their approval with "tore tore tore tore" in the comments, intersped with "tundra" and the occasional "stapler" (Chiwa: that's a wonderful item too)
- When Katou Emiri is talking, the comments go along the lines of "why aren't you stuttering?", to which she comments "I won't stutter" (almost stuttering in the process!)
- Kana-chan notes that she feels really nervous, like she's attending an interview. (Yoshida calls her an angel (天使ちゃんマジ天使, i.e. AB ^^) and she's like "that's got nothing to do with this!"
- For Hocchan, the nya tongue twister and all the nyas are one of the two things she remembers most about Hanekawa.
Then they changed the 'setting' of the room to the park surround by apartments (Mayoi Snail arc), i.e. it was projected onto the walls - it looks really cool.
Hocchan explains "I love multi-flat apartments!" and the nico commentators keep repeating it immediately, leading Yoshida to "it's not a fetish for multi-flat apartments, is it?" No, they were just really impressive (
Kamiya).
Hitagi's opening song -
Chiwa Chiwa was told to "make it cuter". Since they hadn't really started recording, she was wondering why because she only know of the Hitagi in the earlier episodes - so you can think of the song as being sung by Hitagi after she'd changed.
Miyukichi had a lot of fun with Kanbaru's lines, because she thought that it'd probably be the first and last time she could say things like "girls also have an interest in sex" and "Araragi-sempai's sex slave" (she was like, "what? 'sex slave'?!"
).
And...the Kizumonogatari part starts...but Yoshida doesn't have anything that he's meant to say as MC! Why? Because
Sakurai enters here
to the great surprise of the rest of the cast (and Yoshida too it seems? It wasn't scheduled because he wasn't sure he'd be able to make it).
Kamiya, in particular, turns around and
Kamiya: What's this? Takahiro's here! What's up?
Sakurai: Looks like you're having fun, huh?
Kamiya: Yeah
Sakurai: Did something good happen?
Kamiya: Yeah, it's been amazing (whilst the girls laugh, "So cool!" until Kamiya realises) Just amazing...ah, that's from (Bake)!
(And all the comments on this nico video are like: 'LOL',
Kamiya looks like he feels a lot more at home now that Sakurai's here!
)
They play the Kizu PV...and the reactions in the room are divided between applause and...cringing. And the nico comments are all about "spatter"...
For most of the seiyuu, this was the first time they'd seen anything from Kizu. Only
Kamiya, who'd been asked to record for Araragi the previous week, knew a little - though all he was told was "breathe heavily, as if Koyomi is really really tense and frightened"
The Nisemonogatari announcement is next. (And nico viewers go nuts)
Obviously, this is where
KitaEri and
Iguchi Yuka enter, with their trademark (I'm Karen! And I'm Tsukihi!).
They show all the character's new looks, and the cast/audience is meant to try guessing who they are - Mayoi alone hasn't changed! And when Kanbaru comes out, someone exclaims "her butt!".
Miyukichi identifies her, saying "Araragi-sempai's sex slave", to which
Kamiya goes "you don't have to say that!". She also mentions that she's glad that Kanbaru's wearing
something at least... Nadeko's new appearance (e.g. the fact that she's not using her hat or hiding behind her bangs) is also linked with how her character has changed... Same with Hanekawa.
There's no new designs for the guys (well, Meme doesn't even appear in Nise, right?) but
Kamiya says that he feels pained on Koyomi's behalf that Hanekawa in particular has changed her hairstyle. On the other hand,
Sakurai thinks they all look good, and that really, their characters probably haven't changed all that much. Meme was the first character he's played who's actually around his real age, so Sakku quite likes him, and really wanted to see what he'd look like for Kizu.
It finishes with some closing comments, e.g. - Kamiya: Half of me is cheering, the other half is like "oh god"
- Chiwa Chiwa uses "tore" again, sending the net viewers crazy (NB: you can see the comments, which have been beamed around the room, and it's filled with "8888888888888888888888" "Chiwa-chan!" "Amazing!" etc at this point) though the reporters in the room are diligently taking notes.
- Katou Emiri is looking forward to recording more conversations with Araragi.
- KitaEri and Iguchi Yuka play off each other again - though they note that they can't really go beyond one or two lines each without the script (lots of wwwwwwwwww from viewers)
