With Nisemonogatari's final episode, a panel was shown at the very end which said "To be continued" - leaving us wondering whether this is implying a sequel, or perhaps its merely Nisio Isin teasing.

So this episode, being the second to the last, put the main story to its climax(-ish) state quite fast. Other anime would usually give more time and progress the story throughout longer episodes. But they did a good job of creating a well structured main story leading to the end without leaving any plot holes or making it too fast paced. Mind you, this is Nishio Ishins “Monogatari” series and

Thoughts: Since when was Araragi such a pervert? Seriously, stripping down his sister to nothing just to check for a scar. Nisemonogatari was definitely Nisio Isin’s magnum opus.. ಠ_ಠ In all seriousness with the Tsukihi arc finally here it looks like the plot will start to move forward at a breakneck speed no doubt, judging [...]

That possibly, a new standard for fanservice and anime in general has been set by writer Isin Nisio and director Shinbo Akiyuki. Well [...]

I can’t believe how fast this series is coming to a close, with only one episode to go for this season. I can see why its called  trickster story; Karen’s arc is about a trickster, Kaiki, stirring up trouble and now Tsukihi Phoenix is about a supernatural being deceiving people. This episode really satisfied me. Finally Tsukihi [...]

「つきひフェニックス 其ノ參」 (Tsukihi Fenikkusu Sono San) "Tsukihi Phoenix Part Three" In this penultimate episode, we learn that just about everything in Araragi’s life has turned out to be a fake - even his own sister turns out to be an imposter. NisiOisiN wasn’t kidding around when he named this installment in the Monogatari series – there are falsehoods and fakes in every nook and cranny of the story. At least the donuts are still real!

I’m not even sure you can consider the introduction of a couple of mysterious characters who may or may not have some connection with Oshino a major breakthrough for the plot, because with only two episodes left, I’m very skeptical about how big a role Kagenui and Ononoki will have. I am declaring an early [...]

Episode 10 - It looks like Nisemongatari will finally be going back to the story format of Bakemongatari’s arcs. That is, focus in on a single heroine who is afflicted by a supernatural phenomenon, and trying to resolve the issue that results from the affliction. Nisemonogatari was a bit more violent here though, with the [...]

Hey guys, another week, another episode of Nisemonogatari. I like this episode, it has everything in a single episode. The action, the fanservice, the cuteness. Yeah everything! The only thing that I think is wrong with this episode is Araragi’s action towards Tsukihi. Didn’t think any brother would ever do the thing that Araragi just [...]
