Nisemonogatari 5

first of all i suppose i should say that Nisemonogatari is the only anime i am watching this season, and i wish i didn't know it was airing right now so that i could watch it all at once, HOWEVER, after watching Bakemonogatari 6 times then finding out that they were going to do the sequel, there was no way i could live knowing i haven't seen all there is to see.

the *monogatari series is pretty darn good, and if you haven't seen Bakemonogatari, then i highly suggest you get on that, if you are one of those anime loving types. shortly put it is the adventure of a half-vampire highschool student who makes friends with people by riding them of supernatural problems. essentially. 

Nisemonogatari is the second season, based on the third book of a light novel series. Kizumonogatari was the second book, and will be airing as a movie later this year. I am kind of annoyed that it is coming out after Nisemonogatari, because it describes the events that took place to make the main character a half vampire, and that stuff kind of plays a role in this season... i feel it is spoilerish. I already read the book (which was fan translated) so i don't feel like i am getting spoiled but if the anime is all you know, then i would be annoyed. or maybe it will just bring up more questions. whatever.

Kaiki: One big, money loving, bastard.

 All in all i am happy with this episode, alot of the story is finally coming together, for instance we finally learn what happened with Karen, Koyomi's sister, and Kaiki. I suppose i am getting to a point where i feel the fan service is kind of getting in the way of the story... like i have accepted it, Bakemonogatari had lots of it and it was still fine, but it has been getting pretty... um... alot like episode 2 with Kanbaru and the previous episode with Shinobu.

This scene added nothing.

This scene lasted the whole episode.

i mean... i can live with it... but i feel like this current story is far more dark the the previous ones, and the contrast is slightly distasteful. 

i was really hoping that Koyomi would go out and look for Kaiki at the end of this episode, but it seems he is currently more concerned with making sure his sister is safe, which i suppose is more rational. 

i am still confused with why Hitagi chained up Koyomi after the mention of Kaiki, it seems like she was trying to protect him, but at the same time it seemed like she was doing it because Hanekawa was trying to keep him out of what she and Koyomi's sisters were doing. Well i guess i have to wait another week to find out more... 

Kiss your little sister... That will make it better.

also. i feel like Koyomi really needs to learn to explain his angle to people more... he could probably avoid a lot of akward moments that way. like who walks into a room then proclaims to their sister "I am going to kiss you"?
