Oh god really?
Its not so much that people are judging whos watching it but more lambasting the show itself, which is the right thing to do in this case.
Nah, I mean like the weird thing happening on the cheeks here:
I'm sure I need to flip a setting somewhere.
HNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
I guess it was. Doesnt seem to be any excitement for it. Whatever it was.
A tiger silly.
Congratulations on making the correct choice!
It wasn't quite that bad but watching a Hanekawa still move across the screen while the camera pans was... pretty close.

I wanna get into Uchoten Kazoku, but the ears scare me off.
Saving dem yens. At least it wasnt a CG cat.

I can kind of see where it's probably going
but this really is either the best or second best show of the season thus far. The animation remains fantastic as does the writing and the direction. I can't think of anything to criticize it for, which is rare.

she either accidentally ate the hotpot with the Dad in it and now she feels horrible, or she helped him escape and can't say anything
Wow the show looks great!
I really must try watching the first episode again, I got about 2 minutes in and then turned off - I think it needs me to actually pay attention...
The show should be renamed Benten and it should just follow her around.

This feels like a good time to mention the fact that the most visually accomplished shows of this season are from P.A. Works and DEEN.

But then it would be a fake anime.

Sometimes I wonder just how much of you is genuine and how much is just being a contrarian.

Of their shows I only watch Hakkenden, and I guess someone posts shots of Gifu Dodo!! Kanetsugu and Keiji here?
I always liked Deen. But I like a lot of things. It was more about the subject matter of the shows that interested me and I simply tolerated Deen's art.

I suppose I shouldn't admit that I'd be fine if there were never any fight scenes in the series at all. lol

This show continues to be amazing. I'm really warming up to Benten now and she is definitely a fantasizing character for this show. The little story there was pretty cute as well.

This show is on my watchlist. Its getting way too much positive talk not to check it out.
It should be illegal to adapt mangas by great artists.
What blasphemy is this?
Are those goofy big headed characters in the manga? Kinda hoping it's just some anime conceit to make everyone else look more "heroic"
edit: actually looking at the manga, I'm not so sure it's a straight adaptation?

The only thing I know about this show is that first ED and I feel like its plenty good enough.
Since it's a manga drawn by Tetsuo Hara there are a lot of grotesque characters along with the hyper bulky dudes.
So its like One Piece?

Jinbei idiocy finally crossed it for me from laughable to annoying.
Was glad to see his naviety really biting him in the ass, but its sad knowing he's not going to learn anything from the experience.
There aren't that many ridiculously bulky dudes in One Piece.
I was being facetious.

Doing this one ahead of time but
Despite the ruin happening, Dio the Walnut understands the meaninglessness of immortality when he realized what he exists for
Luna is just so damn creepy though

of course blood on silverware will end up getting you killed. Silly Ladle.

and rusts slowly as Cashew is getting healed.
Luna is just so damn creepy though
It's like, she "killed" as her older self, but her new self doesn't, but they're both creepy, and it's rather sadistic, of eternity not being sugoi.

Still silly. I was equally impressed that using the Archer card summoned out an actual bow.
The action wasn't bad and I did like the way to counter not being able to fly.

I find the writing itself exceptionally poor for the format. It is meandering, circular, and the dialogue completely lacks bite as pitiful nothings are shot back and forth. The tiger has just generally made for a terrible verbal sparring partner. His ideology is unflinching, and childish in a one-note pattern that leaves engagements with him to be painfully droll. It lacks back and forth or revelations that are personal or thoughtful.
On a grander level, Monogatari feels increasingly at odds with its intersection of the abstract and the real. During the ultimate confrontation Hanekawa never conceptually embraces envy as a piece of her being. For me the scene simply felt at odds with itself. Within the world Hanekawa is trying to act selflessly to save those around her, but on an abstract level she is trying to incorporate emotions often considered ugly into her being. At no point is the tiger really portrayed as a piece of Hanekawa, and even its actions that are tied to her are passed off as coincidental.
Then I guess I just have loose ends. Like...why is Araragi able to see a manifestation of Hanekawa's thoughts? How does him slaying the beast symbolize appropriate character growth, particularly when he just kind of appears from the ether?

While watching the show I feel little reverence for the original text. It mostly just feels like a very awkward and unnecessary translation into another medium.

Now now, they had to use the long shot their to emphasise the emotional distance between ourselves and the characters. Totally.

You're right, of course, but it's a little unfair to even begin to compare a show directed by a Production I.G. veteran whose been in the industry for years with some kid at SHAFT who makes everyone ramen and occasionally storyboards the odd scene. It's also worth pointing out that particular episode of Monogatari suffered pretty badly from a lack of cohesion as the montage in the beginning felt obviously very different to the rest of the episode.
Done.
