I just watched the Nadeko scene for a second time in order to get my thought together for this thread - and for some reason, I had very diffirent reactions to it the two times.

The first time my reaction was pretty much the same as yours "That's not Nadeko! Nadeko is supposed to be shy!"
I didn't have any of that the second time I watched. Instead, she felt like the same Nadeko I remember from season one, trying to appeal to Koyomi in a clandestine fashion because she's too shy to use a head on approach.

Still trying to figure out what made the difference, though if I had to guess I noticed the subtleties in her voice and mannerisms more second time around.

(Also, for some reason season one left me wondering if Nadeko is a closet exhibitionist.)
