Well. While I was writing the '4th episode thing' on Bakamonogatari, I had a look at the AniDB page for it, so I could find Araragi's name.

As I am currently not able to sleep for some stupid reason, I went and revisited the AniDB page for Bakamonogatari and found this useful little note;

--- Quote from: Bakamonogatari page @ AniDB ---Info: In each chapter of the series, he encounters a different heroine, each involved with a different "apparition". The events of the previous chapters play an important role in the subsequent ones. The series primarily focuses on conversations between characters; it contains a fair number of parodies of other series, as well as Nisio Ishin's trademark wordplay and meta-humour.

This is probably why I'm a little confused.
I'm understanding the story..... but not getting the jokes/puns that are in there somewhere.
I'm guessing that some of the conversations don't translate well to English and that a knowledge of 'Kanji' lettering is needed to get some of the puns/jokes.

@ Meandola.

I certainly hope it will. It does make sense story wise, but some of the conversations, while they are entertaining, are, as I have stated above, confusing.

Hanekawa Tsubasa is her name. She has a 'rating' of 6.98. Gotta love AniDB, that sort of info is right at your finger tips as it were. The database is picky as though, if you get the name wrong, you get nothing.

Now to go and try sleeping again.  ::) 

Micharus:
Just watched episode 8 of Bakamonogatari.

Discovered that I can watch two episodes and not be so confused afterwards that I don't get anything from it.

Also.... this is starting to look like it's going to have sort of really strange 'harem' thing going soon.

I'm also enjoying the way the characters are drawn, but the way they keep going to close-ups of the characters eyes during parts of the conversations is starting to bug me, even though they are really well drawn.

Also, when the characters smile with no teeth showing, it reminds me a heck of a lot of the way 'Odo' from 'Deep Space Nine' smiles. Yeah, I know, I'm a little strange.

They have somehow worked an old, old, really damn old, story called "The Monkey's Paw" into one arc. It's very well done too.

The main reason I'm still watching?

Senjougahara (Tsundere-chan) is sexeh and Hachikuji Mayoi (Snail Girl) is cute, as in 'aw cute' and makes me laugh. It looks like she is going to be a fixture in the series, which is good. Interaction between her and Araragi is classic funny.

On a totally off topic note, uTorrent tells me that all of the anime I have gotten down recently has now seeded up to 150%..... except for the 'desktop thread' torrents. Time to give some serious thought to what to get down next. :D

Havoc10K:

Hehehe.

Love that 'stutter', I'm sure Hachikuji is doing it on purpose to stir him up.

Micharus:
Currently slightly annoyed.

The LAST episode of 'Bakemonogatari' had no subs that I could find, no matter what I did.

I'm presently  getting down ep 15 from both of the other encodes. Hopefully one of them will have subs, so I can finish the series.

Annnnnd as I am typing this, both of the files in question have completed.
