Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following:

The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags.

or

The macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Spoiler Tag Example

[spoiler=title, i.e. your reason for the spoiler tag]Don't forget to use a title for the spoiler![/spoiler]

...becomes...

Spoiler for title:

Don't forget to use a title for the spoiler!

This is bugging me for a while. What's the purpose of password in each episode? :confused:

For downloading goods from Bakemonogatari mobile site. (Japanese only)

anyone getting some audio/video syncing problem as they're watching this anime? i seem to have a lot of that for this anime... by ggfansubs maybe the video quality is too good for my computer to handle? well i mean it is like 390,000 kb per video ><

You should probably ask in the Tech Support forum.

I know it's been said countless times, but exactly what character arcs will be covered this season?

Just wondering who else I can expect to see after Kanbaru gets her light.

Hitagi Crab
Mayoi Snail
Suruga Monkey
Nadeko Snake
Tsubasa Cat

And that's it.

I believe part of the final arc will be BD/DVD only, just to note.

It may be because your machine can't handle high resolution H264. Try watching the Xvid version instead.

The episodes that don't fit in the TV broadcast are apparently being streamed online, on the official site. Though probably not in great quality, but we'll see.

Nice to see know that they will be covering Hanekawa as I am curious what happened with her.

wont this arcs be included?



or there will be a second season?! (just a question xD)

Nope, it's been confirmed as five arcs for a while now. Second season is possible if this season does well, but nothing's been announced yet...

Will the 5 arcs be done within 10 TV episodes only or will the final 5 (BSG reference) for streaming be a part of the whole story ?

10 TV 5 Web = 15 Yummy Meals ?

Will the last part that air on the web be available worldwide or Japanese only?

I don't fully remember the episode breakdown, it was posted a while (a while) back in the general thread, but I remember that the 5 arcs take up the entire 15 episodes, and that the last one is the longest.

@zato_1one: dunno, but we can only hope. Thus far all the content on the official site has been available to everyone, including the videos, but...

The episode breakdown is:

01-02: Hitagi Crab
03-05: Mayoi Snail
06-08: Suruga Monkey
09-10: Nadeko Snake
11-15: Tsubasa Cat

Episode 1-12 will be broadcast on TV, episode 13-15 will be distributed freely on official website.

Source is from director Shinbo interview in the official website.

Hanekawa as a cat... hmmmmm ?

Yes, it sounds like your computer can't handle the video.
Try using coreAVC as video decoder and Zoom Player as your player, you may be able to solve your problem even if your computer is old.

Ok, how do people rate the various competing subbers? Right now I'm archiving 3 and I really feel like that's overkill even for such great a series.
