Does Shinobu have a single spoken line in these arcs? Who cares.

I feel the same way. Hirano Aya's voice Just isn't right since I always felt that Shinobu speaks with quite a bit of gravitas even when she's acting like an idiot.
But Kanbaru's voice is totally perfect, and when I say perfect I mean that it was just how she sounded in my head when I read the novel.

She does the track titles on the drama cd, but she doesn't actually speak in the Bakemonogatari novels.

Here's something funny from the drama cd.

Spoiler for Monkey Girl's quirks:

Apparently, she's a bit of a masochist---she's burning herself in this clip.

This girl is my kind of crazy

But at least we will get the image thread to store our favorite Hitagi in one place.

I've read Omni's blog. I'm a bit confused with schedule. To put it more simple. We will get SP episode on today (7 August). Episode 6 on tomorrow (8 August) and episode 7 on 21 August, right?

@ Sirn

So Nadeko Snake is 2 episodes?

well, Tsubasa Cat is five so... yes, 2 episode.

[-Sho-]

Yeah need a thread for image !!

I don't mind Shinobu voice, not that there's to much to judge (and of course I didn't read the novels).

With the drama cd I found this little tribute/crossover (and probably the best MAD about bakemonogatari I've seen floating around)

Sorry if it's a repost (it's difficult to keep track of all this messages )

[sirn]

Looks like SP is just a normal recap episode with a bit of Koyomi's narration. No need to watch it. (Yuma lies!) Though, I heard they used the second verse of Hitagi's OP as an insert song.

Schedule:
August 8 - Suruga Monkey Part One
August 21 - Suruga Monkey Part Two

I hate recaps so much.

Haha, well it's not like how it once was.

I remember in the 90s (the last true sitcom age) where you would one almost every season or two and you're like WHAT A RIPOFF.

I never saw the point in doing it for this kind of series, there hasn't been linear development along a set path (romance aside) and quite frankly (for Tv audiences) if you weren't on the boat at sendoff, no way you're getting the ride now.

[qwertyman]

Well, I'd rather have a recap than what happened with Haruhi so...

Well, at least they are not counted as a full episode in this case. It's when a recap actually taking up an episode slot on the DVDs that it annoys me.

[Raiga]

Yah at least we're still getting 15 full episodes. Although that makes me wonder about the eps they're streaming online... I mean it's cool that they're doing that but... wonder how the video quality will be...

Woland, if you want to directly link to a youtube video all you need to do is remove the address and leave the code at the end.

I also listened to part of the drama CD. I only heard Hirano do the chapter titles. Did she do anything more? I liked her voice in those: in the splushy direction of Konata, but not with the same tone. More childish and cute, it seemed to me, and even more extreme. I thought the way she said "ho-ukago" instead of "houka-go" was hilarious. Sort of like saying "afteh raschool" for "after school."

I haven't read any of that part of the novel, however, so I don't have a clear idea of what kind of voice would be best. I think there could be some gravitas lurking deep inside there. We'll see if it comes out in a real episode, when she says more, and her lines are more meaningful.

I may be wrong, but I think that drama CDs are like practice sessions for the anime that they record and sell to make some more money. Is that other people's impression? Maybe sometimes they're even used as demonstration projects to convince producers to make an anime?

There are some anime that do really good recaps that are actually interesting enough to watch though. Out of just my memory, Speed Grapher's was probably the best I've seen so far. In fact, that recap was actually more interesting than the few episodes that lead to it...
