Not bad, Nisemonogatari. You have made me completely hate a character and for that I applaud you slowly and dramatically. They quality of this episode is great as usual and although there is hardly any storyline progression, I enjoyed seeing the characters talk. My dear Araragi Koyomi, it seems like being branded a lolicon is [...]

First we have the banter between Tsukihi and Koyomi. I said it once, and i’ll say this again: Tsukihi and Koyomi are really similar in terms of personality. I don’t know whether or not Nisio Isin meant to do that but I’m getting this vibe and now I can’t help but notice it.There’s really a [...]

Although it depends on each specific character and varies on a case-by-case basis, I tend to like antagonists in anime.  Generally speaking, what fascinates me about villains or adversaries are not that they’re commonly portrayed as wicked, evil, or used in a negative manner but rather for the rationale for why they are a villain [...]

You gonna get kissed! Last week, just as answers seemed around the corner, Koyomi decided to take a little break which actually turned out to provide lots of answers in themselves, as well as some development of an old-new character. This week, all will be revealed to Koyomi, and a near-paralyzed Karen should give us [...]

There is always two thing I think before I start and episode of Nisemonogatari. The first is I guess which character will appear in their underwear. I was right this time as I picked Karen. The second thing I do is remind myself there will always be at least one joke that will make me [...]

Nisemonogatari finally exposes the truth regarding what left the larger of the imoutos in a state of illness - yet that simply is the start of more gratifying aspects, like some onii-chan on imouto action, to unfold.

What better character to discuss and adore after a long break than the delectable Hachijiku Mayoi-chan? That’s a rhetorical question. This adorable and spunky little girl came into our lives long, long ago in the distant year of 2008. The stunning anime adaptation of NisiOisiN’s light-novel series, Bakemonogatari, sent many into a frenzy and forever

What an inconvenient solution. I’m sorry, but I’d have to let my sister keep the fever. This episode definitely knocked me out of my playful mood. Seeing what that Kaiki dude did just sent me into an internal rage. I don’t care if that was my sister or not, Araragi can’t be completely cool underneath. For now though, it [...]

If you managed to keep your mind on the plot and not a bathing Shinobu for most of last week's episode, then you'll know that we've finally reached the crux of Nisemonogatari's first story arc, as Koyomi has to decide what to do about his sister Karen's current predicament. First however, Koyomi is still keen to find out the full story about what actually happened here, and after digressing into
