Kurt Vonnegut (If you don't know him look him up, famous writer), once said and I quote:
"Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia."
I think this should apply here, and I really hope Monogatari doesn't run into this issue too much as it goes on.

Hahahahaha oh man, the very notion of this series having too many characters is hilarious. One word: Zaregoto. Look it up, the number of characters will blow your mind.

I don't think the Sengoku and Kanbaru development though was very good though. Particularly Sengoku. So it was almost like negative development to me.

The only reason you say that is because a lot of their line were cut out. One also needs to look at the bigger picture. The screen time Nadeko had in this season foreshadows a lot about her character. All I can say is sit tight and be patient.

Shinbou once said that when he create an adaptation he does it so that even the original fans will like it. What better way is there to attract original fans than to follow the book word for word? Besides, he didn't even actually follow word for word. For example, the sibling fight was a lot more outrageous in the anime.

No, that's not right. The information Nadeko gave to Araragi dealed with the curse that she got back in Snake. She was the only one that could have given it to him since she was the only middle schooler that he knew other than his sisters. There was no way they were going to tell him so Nadeko was the only one.

I don't think her development was particularly great in any case, and very little was given at all. She's better than Nadeko though. Nadeko is just a moe blob.

Once again, if this is what you think than you are going to have a REALLY tough time watching the rest of this series.
