Ep6 was totally fabulous. This show is reaching masterpiece level, for me. Not just the wonderful look and animation, but the amazing lines, the great timing, the absolutely superior voice-acting: Saitou Chiwa, Kamiya Hiroshi, Katou Emiri, and now Sawashiro Miyuki. And I'm not a huge fan of Horie Yui, but I agree that her voice is just ideal here. Excellent.
The novel spoilers have been out of hand from the beginning. Not that I think it matters all that much in this case: I enjoy the episodes the second and third times just as much as the first time I watch them. But in these anime threads, manga/novel spoilers aren't even supposed to appear in spoiler tags, are they? What's the solution? Best solution: separate forum. Second best: novel thread in the manga forum and we keep seeing the images here. In terms of sheer number of posts, this show is close to separate forum level, and there is a breadth of topics that would lend itself to separate threads.

Please remember that such discussion in this thread is considered off-topic (and if anything will work against it getting a forum).
We review potential series and consider if any of them require a forum of their own. In this case there is no need to remind us (or, for a better word, nag ) about Bakemonogatari. |

We pick up bad habits from it and, in real life, end up being offensive to those (Japanese people) we are speaking to. Ergo creating that "troublesome gaijin" impression... in their minds. Then they start to use that "Lets speak in English only" mode... lol Classic ! |

It can be very awkward i have Japanese friends i have known for ages and its still hard for me to call them by their first names and its even harder for them to call me by mine. I think you just get use to it and its more comfortable that way.

Wasn't planning on casually calling out somebody's given name in any case, just found it interesting that it was that significant. I'd hesitate to call it a bad idea though. Just something that needs to be supplemented and taken for what it is (that is, a TV show).

EP 6 was absolutely amazing! I loved watching those bluebirds fly up the orange building frame, and just everything about the episode was just lovely. I hope there are three seasons of this (as I understand there are two other novels in the series that are prequel/sequel/spinoff.) I hope the soundtrack comes out soon, as I'm in love with that simple piano riff they've often played during dialogue, especially when Hanekawa-san is around.
It seems like the ape is that basketball girl, but perhaps she just has a 'contract' with the creature. |

On Hitagi- it could be worse, we could end up with a School Days scenario. I just think that she doesn't want to be betrayed like she was with the occult stuff. And while Araragi probably wouldn't betray her, she's still slowly but surely opening up... besides, to do anything else but that wouldn't fit her personality that we've seen so far
though I'm with those who are on the "I wonder what their kids would be like" boat... talk about one strange family

Alternative theory on why Hitagi hasn't broken up with anyone yet: They died (so didn't get to break up ) and are now hung up on hooks at the top of the unfinished apartment . The bird gather there to pick off the corpses. Last edited by Hypernova; 2009-08-11 at 19:05. |

Another thing that I like in episode 6. I've heard that in Japanese culture, blue bird will bring happiness. In this episode, blue birds were gradually increasing on the roof when Senjougahara was talking with Araragi. But after Araragi said about Kanbaru and Senjougahara went psycho on him. All of those blue birds were flying away.
Every time, when I re-watch the episode. I always lol when Araragi desperately said "I'm devoted to you, Senjougahara!" and the flame sign on her eyes started to disappear. That moment is really hilarious.

Yeah, well, I'm with Sasahara (from Genshiken) and Araragi when it comes to the idea of younger sister characters: that the people who have this silly fetish for them, don't have younger sisters in real life.
But as much as I roll my eyes every time an anime adores its "imouto" characters, I want to see more of Araragi's sisters and even his entire family. It's going to be a hoot watching Araragi introduce Senjougahara to his folks. |
