I wouldn't considering shipping discussions /wars superior to fanservice discussions. There's a reason shipping threads were banned in several subforums in the first place. And I'll say it once again: it's just one episode. O N E E P I S O D E There have been interesting discussions the previous weeks. There's no need to blow of fuse over the fact an episode and thereby the ensuing discussion focused on a very funny and erotic fanservice scene (honestly, what exactly did you want us to talk about here? Which topic would have been acceptable to you?), especially when comments from the author that were posted a while ago and reactions from novel readers should have been enough to reassure you the toothbrush scene represents the pinnacle of fanservice in the Monogatari series. I haven't read the novel so I'm not 100% sure, but from what I can surmise, we'll never see something like this ever again. Another thing you seem to overlook is that this wasn't just an average fanservice scene. It was a freaking hilarious one thanks to overexaggeration of the characters' feelings and the whole ridiculousness of the situation. Now, obviously, you didn't find it funny. That's fine. And I'm sorry, even if you don't see it, this episode did develop the plot a bit, in this case Karen and Koyomi's relationship, who by Koyomi's own admission, has grown closer. This is mostly what this season is about: Koyomi's sisters and his relationship with them. And you are taking our comments and ratings WAY too seriously. Chill. Most of us -I think- including me were just exaggerating for fun. In doing so, it appears we have unintentionally (although to be honest, I was very much looking forward to the outrage, but I didn't expect it'd go so far) trolled you hard. I apologize for that. I certainly don't think this is the best episode of the year nor even the best of the series, yet in the heat of the moment I found it appropriate to rate it 10/10 since the toothbrush scene was something never before seen in anime and it really made me laugh my ass off. One last thing. You say we don't appreciate where the dissenters are coming from (which is not entirely true), yet I sincerely don't feel you appreciate where we are coming from either.

There were some things just not meant to be seen, like this episode. Now where’s my toothbrush?
Toothbrush redifined... This is a useful tool, commonly found in the range of 6 inches long, the functioning of which is enjoyed by members of both sexes. It is usually found hung, dangling loosely, ready for instant action. It boasts of a clump of little hairy things at one end and a small hole at the other. In use, it is quickly inserted, almost always willingly, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, into a warm, fleshy, moist opening where it is thrust in and drawn out again and again many times in succession, often quickly and accompanied by squirming bodily movements. Anyone found listening in will most surely recognize the rhythmic, pulsing sound resulting from the well-lubricated movements. When finally withdrawn, it leaves behind a juicy, frothy, sticky white substance, some of which will need cleaning from the outer surfaces of the opening and some from its long glistening shaft. After everything is done and the flowing and cleansing liquids have ceased emanating, it is returned to its freely hanging state of rest, ready for yet another bit of action, hopefully reaching its bristling climax twice or three times a day, but often much less. What is it?

"I don't give a rat's ass about whether or not one LN was more/less fanservice centric compared to each other or in their animated adaptations". I have not, and do not intend to read any of the Monogatari LNs. Hence I did not nor do I care whether this was in the LN or how this episode amplified it. Let's not assume everyone has read the LN here and PLEASE not go into this faithful adaptation = good anime again, cause I had enough of that shiz in regards to Persona 4. This episode was plain offensive to me and a few others in its content and how much it took over the episode and that's that. Quote:

Anyways, I'm done. I'm not gonna exaggerate and go drop this series over this episode or anything, but I do think I have expected too much from the franchise as I was expecting more in line with Bakemonogatari. I am however optimistic enough that the next few episodes will develop Tsukihi's character and her issues. |

The entire sound recording was method acting; the voice actress was getting her teeth brush through out the whole scene. According to her, it felt good.

By the way, even small details were left out. For example Senjougahara reads every kind of book, and Tsukihi is in the tea club because she likes to wear kimono. Quote:

In the end there are only two fair ways to decide who is right: 1) Arguments. 2) Majority vote. If you think someone is wrong, then it's arguments. If you say every opinion must be respected, than it's majority vote. At this point though the minority must accept the verdict and speak like a minority. That's all there is to it. The problem is not me. The problem is people talking of Nise 8 like it wasn't received it well, which is patently false and dishonest. It must be accepted that most people here rated this episode very high as a premise in whatever it is said. This is intellectual honesty. On my part I readily acknowledge that there are, currently, 6 people who voted 1, plus 9 votes below 6. Yeah, there have been some extreme negative opinions, even (or especially) from people who liked Bakemonogatari. I even think dissenting people must have their champions too. Anyway, in this forum where most people like Bake it was exactly these people the one who proved this episode was outrageous Outrageous: -provoking outrage -outside the bounds of good taste -immoderate -extravagant Quote:

Yea, I can understand that not all cliches are bad, but is that anything that hasn't been seen yet? However, at least this sounds better since I have some slightly more concrete evidence of said bossness Quote:

So let me answer with what I already said: Quote:

Basically, I have no intention of "fixing" anyone. So, who said this episode wasn't received well? Does anyone deny the results of the poll? I would disagree with them too. But who are you talking about? Quote:

On another unrelated note, I like Nise better but Bake may have been more consistent. (I think that may be considered even more disagreeable for both sides. )

And I have to name "the voice actress": Kitamura Eri, the 24-year-old pro who is a good cartoonist (second only to Inoue Marina among seiyuus) and is so much known as an otaku that her nickname of KitaEri is sometimes changed to OtaEri. She has been Tatiana in Last Exile (both shows), Saya in Blood+, Sayaka in MadoMagi, etc., etc.

Anyway, I'm glad you won't drop the series because of this. That would have been a hasty and rash decision. Hopefully, you'll enjoy the rest of the season more than this ep.

@DemiSoda's mentioning of shipping wars in Aquarion EVOL threads
That's not better, actually. Shipping wars has a bigger tendency to spark hostility. And besides, TOOTHBRUSH has been the most antitipicated scene throughout Nisemonogatari, even before Episode 1 even aired.

Everyone's actually handling this quite well. Good on you, this is why I like these forums.
I won't fuel any potential fires-in-waiting, so I say we take Kanon's good word on the fact that it'll be just one episode and move on. It was just a moment that the writer put in that didn't exactly sit well with some of us, that's all. Let's save the mods and admins the trouble and just stop beating this dead horse. Don't even reach for that stick, it'd be pointless.
