Hmm, qIIq, Frostii or gg... decisions, decisions. According to an AniDB comment gg didn't translate the flashing text, can anyone confirm this?

confirmed.

Argh, I would throw my internet connection out of the window if that were possible! Dammit, ep2 received via IRC corrupted, ahhh, dammit! *waiting for torrent to finish* But I may comment on the 2nd episode based on the stuff I've seen so far: Slap! Damn

Senjōgahara is hot!

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll wait for qIIq then. Until they release ep 2, I guess I'll re-watch ep 1 and go through the text, haha.

*scratches gg off the list of possible groups to watch*

I think i'll still have to wait for frostii...unless i break down for qIIq

erious · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:46:05 PM »

There really is no point in waiting for Frostii; qIIq is more then good enough. If you really love Frostii that much, just get their version for archiving, and for the time being watch qIIq.

morrefule · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:51:15 PM »

that's what I have been pondering.... I know qIIq is a good group, but i just have groups i have become accustom to - e.g. Frostii, m.3.3.w., Menclave, Shinsen, etc.

I'll give them another 36 hours and then just go grab qIIq's release

ep2 was great! Can't wait for the next chapter!

...I'm kind of torn. Up until the ritual started I was stunned by how awesome it was, and pretty much fell in love with Hitagi. Then we learn of her past, ok, kinda predictable but still not bad. And then comes the end, her story is resolved, and Hitagi acts nice. Damn, I hope she gets back to her usual self by the next episode, or rather, I hope she'll actually be in the next episode. Introducing that awesome character for two episodes only would be the biggest waste imaginable.
On a side note, I hope Shaft's next project will be porn.

The description on aniDB already stated that our guy meets different characters with different "problems" so I guess that she as well as the other still-to-be-met characters will at least appear in the upcoming episodes. But yes, I share your wish to see her again.

There is no way anyone would ruin a character like this in that manner; no doubt it'll be business as usual come morning. If anything I'd expect them to end up a couple; seeing as she's evidently not afraid to show emotion when it counts, there's little doubt in my mind that she'll dragoon him into a relationship (since she clearly likes him, and he's not going to have much say in the matter regardless. Though one'd have to be strange not to want her...) and that she'll remain a fixture in the series.

Oh, she'll be there. She must be! One of the arcs will probably be a flashback focusing on the class rep's issue; either that or some form of relapse.

As for the little girl, are there any theories? Is she related to the female in the intro (or even the same entity?), or is that too obvious of a device? Seeing as they're both blonde and evidently shares a past of some sort with both Oshino and Araragi, it seems like a plausible theory at least. There's also the (so far at least) very limited cast, making it likely that every character servers a real purpose. As long as Hitagi's around though, I don't really care. I'd watch this solely for her.

That little girl, isn't she that devil cat mentioned shortly in episode02? Maybe we'll get as well for oshino as for her a flashback.

Edit1: I'm not sure but didn't she have something to do with Araragi being a vampire?

Edit2: Ok, erious just answered my question^^

From what I gathered, the blonde in the intro was the vampire, named Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-under-Blade, who bit Araragi. She got defeated, and the loli is what remains. Loli's name, 忍(Shinobu) consists of 刃(Blade) above 心(Heart).
So it’s literaly Heart-under-blade, the vampire’s name. Reading translation notes is healthy!

Path · « **Reply #33 on:** July 13, 2009, 11:18:07 PM »

Hah, it was just as obvious as I figured then. We'll probably have a flashback arc for this as well then. Without Hitagi. That's almost depressing :'(

Lord of Fire · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:30:44 AM »

Not sure what to think of it, but it looks promising so far.

qIIq seems to be best of all the groups thusfar, hope they keep up the good work.

She's her old self

and still aboard. The series is great. I love the scene after the fight with Hachikuji

kanavazk · « **Reply #37 on:** July 19, 2009, 09:40:01 PM »

I love this series. It keeps getting more screwed up. (Does anyone know where you can read the light novels in English?)

erious · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2009, 12:10:20 AM »

This show is... amazing. It's like almost every other Shinbo show to date was just a practice for Bakemonogatari. And Hitagi is simply awesome. Episode 3 was mostly 2 people talking in the park, and it wasn't boring even for a split second. Also, Araragi gets some character development, that's something that kinda lacked in previous episodes.

Picked this off of Animesuki.Meah,just another ongoing anime to pass the time I thought at the time.It turned out it was a great anime and I found myself enjoying it a lot.
But...there is a problem.Since most of the "action" is done by words I feel like I'm missing out because I can't speak Japanese.I have a fresh memory of such of an occasion
Ep 3:

(click to show/hide)

Did anyone encounter the same problem? or is just me and my paranoia?
Still the show is good and I love the way everything is presented that makes even a static image interesting.
