Ah yes, this was the reason I decided to watch Bakemonogatari, and I'm so glad that I did. Episode 1 was awesome, if not a little too easy going. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Koyomi and Senjougahara! I just love her abusive words. Something tells me that she’s actually protecting Koyomi from something or someone. I guess the whole act is a bonus.
Hachikuji’s conversations with Koyomi in this episode were pretty amusing.
But most importantly, the weird head tilts, ‘black screen’s, signage, and the effective usage of colour are all back! That just reminds me why I love SHAFT’s work ~
I was surprised to see how good a job CR did with the translation/subs.
