I love how dull looking the changing room looks but when you are in the actual bathing area you are in a Catholic church.

Also, VAMPIRE LOVE!!!

[Miraluka]

Don't know why but that bathing scne took sooooo long .

I agree with Omimon about Vampire Love but, they seemed kinda lonely during that scene.

I think them being lonely is kinda the point. They support each other and if one falls so will the other. They only person that can truly understand their situation is Hachikuji since she is a Kaii as well. The humans in the series is never gonna truly know what it means to live in the supernatural world.

I would say this is a pretty pinnacle episode since like what was said at the end, Araragi and Shinobu is gonna start getting closer.

[Xical]

Where is my Hanekawa intro?

[Shikijin]

I can't wait to read how Nisio will comment on Araragi's house furniture anime version

[Candyshark]

Well I'm glad i was prooved wrong about being sceptical towards Mayaa's acting.

[00Coyote]

SHAAAAAFT!

What is it with you and loli vampires?
That and young girls wielding kitchen knives.

Regardless, Arararagi is associated with some really, really bizarre girls, with some really really bizarre relationships to go along with it. Even as awkward of a situation that Araragi and Shinobu had their little chat, it was fairly heartwarming, informative, yet still awkward.

Also Zeppelins!

[pampz21]

Hot naky vampires!

[omimon]

Who here is a guy and bath with rose petals?

[Tenza-Zangetsu]

no opening, new ending?

Poor Shinobu, listening to Oshino's stories and talking like it was torture

Who here is a quazi vampire, with a donut obsessed loli vampire remnant hiding in his shadow? Not to mention this family has a interior decorator named Akiyuki Shinbo, things such as petals in the bathroom are the least of their concerns.

[ars89]

Oh man Hanekawa cut her hair, why! So Kaiki is to blame for Karen's problems. Shinobu spoke! Her parts was the best. Like how Tsukihi came back with a knife after seeing her.

I love how much attention Koyomi gives Shinobu this whole episode, I could have given this week's episode a 10 if Ami Koshimizu or Aoi Yuuki is the one that replaced Aya Hirano from the voice acting role as Shinobu. Maaya Sakamoto is fine replacement, even if she's married, nothing have changed.

Aoi Yuuki wouldn't make a very good replacement, considering Shinobu is 8, 13, 17, 21, and 25 years old, or whatever it was. She'd always sound like she was 10. Remember that there's a Shinobu-focused movie in production.

[Xenosnake]

When Tsukihi walks in on Araragi in the bath - priceless.

[MChiefMM]

So it wasn't araragi but shinobu how broke that chains, or at last helped him? Sometimes the way they animate it is really confusing. Anyway great episode. And again I'm starting to kick myself for not knowing japanse...I really want to know what happens next.

It's not really clear but from what I got Shinobu felt that Araragi wanted to get out so she cut the chains instantly.

[Kanon]

Holy naked loli vampire batman! I had no idea Shinobu had such lovely outspoken and playful personality. Hell, I had no idea she had a personality, period. I'm a fan of her old-style speech pattern as well. Maaya Sakamoto did an outstanding job!

I understand why omimon loves Shinobu so much now. I'll remain faithful to Nadeko though.

Tsubasa looks like a completely different person. If it weren't for her voice and her boobs, I would have never recognized her. It'll make a while to get used to her new look. Thankfully, she remained the same on the inside. At least I didn't notice any notable changes in this ep.

Indeed it was

I was speechless when she came back with a knife. Those little sisters are dangerous! Too dangerous! Tsukihi might be a true yandere unlike Hitagi.

[Kusa-San]

OMG Shinobu, you can talk !! Dman, I love her even more now ! Great voice, great way of talking. I especially like how she laughs : "Ka ka". Shinobuuuuuu :333

Tsukihi is really scary Much more violent than Karen.

Great episode overall even if I'm not fond of Hanekawa as always (but her new haircut is much better than the previous one).
