This is the first episode of this series that I'm actually really disappointed in. I feel like this is exactly the wrong time to introduce two new characters. One was stretching it, two annoys me.
Other than that, the rest of the episode was an exercise in how long they can keep up variations on the same running jokes over and over again. Which, honestly, is something the series has been doing for a while now and I don't always mind, but it felt like the repeated jokes are getting less and less clever. Which is only natural, really.
Anyway, if this is what we get when they're cutting stuff out from the novel I'm prepared to say that Nisemonogatari (volume 2) is just pretty badly written. Which makes sense given what's been said about the intent behind writing it.
