So if the arc develops into: Araragi go out of his way to save his sister from a bee-like(or queen bee-like) abnormalities, then the two have some heart-warming sibling moment..... I don't think it will be wrong for audiences to call it "predictable". The episode itself may full of interesting or unique visuals and dialogues, but the overall plot not gonna be so

the plot is moving, but in the background D:
i guess the call for karen was from tsukihi, that means she has found something or has completed the preparation for something, and i'm interested in what happened, but i can only hope to get a flashback about it =| unless koyomi decides to move his narrator ass into where the action is happening a little less than 1/5 has already passed, being it only 11 episodes |

So... um, what was this show about again?
Seriously, Bake has always been known to have quite a bit fanservice, but usually mixed well inbetween plot points and never nearly entire episode about it like this one. Compared Bake's first 2 episodes where general plot was established with large amount of character development already achieved and tightly paced episodes, almost nothing has happened here. There some hits on the direction of the arc, but most of it is entirely vague especially since the "Arc Character" Karen very little screentime. Dialogue wasn't as entertaining as usual since if focused too much on sexual humor instead of balancing it out with clever word play like normal. There's not much characterization expansion either like Mayoi in the previous episode. Hopefully the next episode get things moving substantially otherwise I think we in for some pretty dragged out episodes leading to a weak second season. I'll give the episode 7/10 instead of a 6 due the fantastic OP which ironically enough probably has more animation than most of the first season. |

Yeah, I don't plan giving up on this show so easily. The series has earned a lot of goodwill with me after all. I'm just surprised we are in the 2nd episode of a one cour series like this with very little to go on. I wouldn't have mined as much if there a bit more setup going on. It's not as if this is a big "mystery" show here.

Well, it's a story that seems to like taking twists and turns into seemingly irrelevant angles. But they usually are more important than one thinks initially, even if the presentation is wonky. Personally, I think something's up, and one episode this early shouldn't hinder one's enjoyment just yet. Unless the next episode is also like this but I doubt it.
If one made it to this season without too many issues, a little patience is definitely deserved. Even though I'm not a fan of the whole series and gutter voted this episode, I still feel confident in this show to deliver at this moment.

Hahaha, oh man. I really can't get enough of this show's style. It's like every second clip runs on "What do you mean it's not awesome?"
I never thought much of Suruga in the first series but she was MVP this episode. That phonecall was hilarious. Since it's Monogatari, I don't trust the bees in that OP at all. |

been reading the explanations here about why so much seducing and sexual jokes, i understand it is due to the amount of material
however, sadly this means nise will not be as good as bake in anime, but still i will finish this Karen seems to be weirder than expected
