Ir'm on the fifth episode. And I liked the story thus far. I specially like the stroy of the 3rd, 4th, 5th episode - Mayoi Snail. I feel as if the words have depth to them. I mean, they speak a lot - so it might be tough to keep up with what is being said - specially if you are reading subtitles, but, I dunno...I liked the dialogues for some reason. :/

Girls with stapler = scary

Currently paused, but yeah it was intriguing.

The first thing that strikes you is the animation. It's stylistically both - unique and pleasant.

I am up to date as of today with Bakemonogatari. All thanks to Amp's effort in the links section. Kudos to Amp. Which means I am on the 14th episode right now. I STILL liked the Mayoi Snail bit the most, even after watching all the episodes till now.

As of now...[SPOILER UP AHEAD]

Spoiler for Hiden:

Hanekawa confession was a bit surprising. They haven't shined much light on the history of Araragi. He remains a matter of mystery still. His connecton to the Small Blonde vampire, his connection with Hanekawa saving his life. Hanekawa herself is another mystery, with her so-called "stress". Though I have no idea how they intend to end the series within 15 episodes. Especially if they START a love triangle on the 14th episode.

I feel they might increase it to 26 episodes. What say you?

I also loved the episode in which hitagi and Araragi go and view the Stars. I think that was the 12th episode. But I liked it nonetheless. Though I liked the 8th episode also. If I'm not mistaken, it's the one in which Senjougahara confessses to him. Mayoi Snail Part 3, I think...
