Hell, Hummingbird still has it at 13.
Mmmmmmm, livetune with the singer from Galileo Galilei. I approve of this musical combination.
Also, the anime looks good and stuff.

i'm actually very excited for the next episode .
Serve you right ! ( i can't help but think this has a triple meaning )
i'm actually very excited for the next episode .
Not because this was a especially fun ride , but because the animation in this anime has been ALWAYS top notch so when the odds are like that i expect a FREAKING awesome finale , especially in term of animation since they decided to not explain half of the things going on in this show

three fujoshi and not one of them has a pair of glasses?! impressive
This might've been a setup episode but it felt kinda cheap at times. It's probably due to Makishima's "dance" looking weird as shit in CG.
Speaking of Makishima,the story about the markings was totally just a cover story to get the scrubs away from his PED stash.
I really hope this show gets a second season soon

It's already got 38 episodes scheduled, so it'll be a while before any potential second season would get announced.
I think it was me, yeah. I have to think about accepting your apology, don't know yet maybe if you say it nicely enough. :b
.
Yes. But you should watch Nise first and then Neko, and after that, find a way of reading Kizumonogatari before going into Second Season.

Well, if you're going to recommend he read Kizu either way, the best point to do so would really be before Nise, since both that and Nekomonogatari Black are also enhanced somewhat by knowledge of the prequel's events. It just gets more blatant in Second Season (and starts getting into spoiling-Kizu's-plot territory).

This is what i'd call HEAVY forshadowing about aguri ..well i'm kinda happy this goes on the next episode in term of plot it's been so long since i feel there is a serious connexion between episode about character develloppement not linked througt a finale.
So it's aguri birthday time, and nothing really happens except that mana made a "mana moment" ( if you watch dokidoki , you know what a "mana moment" is ) and that aguri characterisation was freaking well done considering she came late to the party
We also learn about makopi past a bit
So overall this wasn't a bad episode , not at all

We're down to 8.
Either way, the kid tells us what we all have been thinking, First and Second will need to kill each other. Going by the very first scene of the first episode, Yuno will kill him, accidentally. Ninith is still the best and apparently the only one not dumb enough to don't pay attention to everyone's figure on that "round table".

Interesting,
the guy wants to give his diary to another person. Turns out he gives his diary to his daughter. The wannabe detective guy was obviously a diary holder and I actually thought the camera girl was a diary holder as well. Maybe she is and is working with dog girl or maybe she's a normal person who is just helping a friend.
I want to see how the guy's diary works because have two detective like diary (4th and his) would suck. And Yukki is the most stupid person on the whole planet. Detective guy is smart, he didn't gave any clue that he had a diary.

A lot of events in the second part of nise make a lot more sense and have that "extra flavor" if you've read kizu beforehand.
Edit : Cnet128 is also right there is also that "scene" too
Nise has
the first time Shinobu properly talks to Araragi since becoming Shinobu, which is clearly more interesting if you know their history and what she was like before. And it works both ways - Kizu is the first time (both chronologically and in reading order) that we see Shinobu/Kisshot talk at all, so reading Kizu after Nise removes a fair amount of that impact.

It's not Diomedia's fault; it's Kadokawa's decision as the company funding these adaptations of their LNs.

Aguri: "Oh no, Grams found out I was a precure!"
Grandma: "It's totally okay if you're a legendary warrior of light, I kinda already knew and I'm completely fine with it.
Aguri: "Shut up Grandma, the only choice for me now is to run away from home....and live at Mana's house!"

Plus, the sword in Nekomonogatari (Kuro). Kizumonogatari really should have been made before the second season...

it's not so bad , it's just very easy to poke at each flaw the plot has.
Ah yeah. Forgot that. But then again it's minor stuff, unlike
Episode appearing in SS
Eh, personally I'd say changing the viewer/reader's whole introduction to Shinobu is more major than losing the significance of a brief cameo from a relatively unimportant character. But that's just me.
IDK,
I think seeing the way Shinobu "opens up" in Nise before made it more effective to me; When I read Kizu, I understood what lead to that and it only made the whole thing stronger to me.
Besides, Nise stuff you can watch and feel that you're not missing anything, but SS stuff feels like that.
When Episode appeared, I had no clue who he was, why he knew Hanekawa, and what they talked about.

Dokidoki precure - 43
The drama in this episode could have been solved by a simple talk , but i guess the feeligns aguri had made her confused ... indeed she was very confused.
it wasn't bad drama .. it just felt very predictable at times.
I liked the revelations , my theory is coming true , lol ..much more intresting is rikka explanation :
..i guess i must not understand being a simple human ..this must be the mindset of a precure warrior.
So well the proper choice was obviously to run away toward mana because ..well mana is pretty much "perfect" and she didn't last long to find a way to raise the mood up. Trully mana specs are very high , too high even , but then again this is episode 43 and we know that since episode 1.
I feel that regina since she came back is way less intresting than she was in the first part.
Yes regina was selfishness , but she had a other side and you could understand why mana tried to win her over. Since regina came back , all she did was to make some generic vilain moments ... i don't understand what's her point ...why isn't she using the spear ? She has a motherfucking spear of darkness and she waste her time using the same patterns from 25 episodes ago !
The trio dynamics between the 3 other vilain are ALL gone now , even without regina they tried and the really did the job , but now everything is like stopped.
They better hurry with the finale but we have to finish the chritsmas episodes first ....Argh*
She is smart but ...not that smart

The closest I think is miss monochrome which is adorable but also hand drawn animation for the most part. Theres a CG dance at the end Precure/Aikatsu style but its more cute than terrible.

Don't care about the anime but yes, that's a good duo.
I dunno, I kind of feel like knowledge of Nise spoils the whole idea of Kizu a bit. It's supposed to be like,
Shinobu's "true" self is this mysterious figure who you've only heard little bits and pieces about from Araragi in Bake, and then in Kizu you finally get to see her in all her glory and learn about her as Araragi does - first being entranced by her otherworldly nature, then slowly learning about her as a person and coming to like her, only to ultimately be brought back to reality in the worst possible way.
And then when Araragi makes that final decision to drain her almost completely, to turn her into a shadow of her former self, it carries a lot of weight because you know this means she'll be reduced to the Shinobu you've seen in Bakemonogatari - an empty shell, with no sign of her former energy or dignity, incapable of doing anything for herself, completely reliant on Araragi. There's a lot of emphasis placed in Kizu from the beginning on the fact that this "isn't a story that ends well", and I think a fair amount of that drama is weakened if you know in advance that Shinobu will be pretty much fine when all's said and done. Shinobu's sudden "return" to her former self in Nise, almost retconning away those consequences, seems to work better as a bit of a narrative troll after the fact - a happy convenience bringing back something that seemed to be lost forever.

The lisp and delivery combined with the content murders me.
I think a male foil for Araragi would be really useful to the plot, but that's just me. He doesn't even really have to be friendly, just a foil.
Production order it is, then.
On it.
I see. You're right, I didn't think of these implications.

Not when you decide to take th alternative approach
Maybe Regina's less interestingness is part of why she's just another girl to Mana right now. And it's obvious she's not using her spear as much because she has Mana on the brains.
Yep, we have next week episode, and then shit will go down with Ace and Regina. Maybe then Regina will get interesting again.

The use of the OP was damn effective. That scene should have been longer since it was the best thing to come out of this show.

Is that way to never, ever watch it and pretend it doesn't exist?
Because I have never really been capable of doing that.

So I watched the last two episodes in part because morbid curiosity of what was going on and how the series would advance, in part because I still had some hope on the writers doing that twist because ulterior reasons, and they wanted to reach the straight Toku genre to afterwards do another twist or examine the characters in a new light of whatever.
Nah. It's just a shitty series. An incredibly shitty one. Screw you Manglobe.
Dropped with the force of a giant rocket exploding.

I hope in the final episode the Miracle Dragon Glaive is revealed to be the Lance of Longinus and Regina accidentally triggers the Second Impact. All the precures and fairies are killed out except for Alice, who uses the resources of the Yotsuba Corporation to found NERV, and Lance who leads NERV with his new and improved human form, Gendo.

The fight with Nonon was dragging on a bit so I'm glad they got through with it relatively quickly and without another transformation in costume.
It does seem more and more likely that Satsuki and Ryuuko are going to team up against her mother especially now that we know who killed Ryuuko's father.
What I'm really interested in is seeing who will eat the one 50 caliber bullet that nude beach was playing around with. I have a feeling that right before Ryuuko loses to Nui and Senketsu gets destroyed they will use the bullet on Nui and make her run away.
