Great review Carl.

I found it kind of hard to read because it uses "complicated" words, but I really appreciate that he think that we will be able to comprehend it. I dare to say that the review was as complex and as strange as Nisemonogatari (in the most positive way). I like this review a lot; it is spot on and captures the essence of this series.

I absolutely agree with the comment on fan service. Nisemonogatari is very erotic but artistic. I have always admired how Koyomi manages to stay faithful to Senjougahara with so many temptations around. Not many shows are able to make a panty shot look artistic.

I liked Nisemonogatari. It manages to capture the magic of its predecessor (although, I think Bakemonogatari is superior). The only complaint I have with Nisemonogatari is the toothbrush scene. In my opinion, this incident debilitated Koyomi's image as a somewhat pervert character but with honorability. [Sorry if this does not make much sense]

Again, great and well-written review.

Death threats have a way of strengthening one's focus.

It's a shame, really -- the first time I watched episode 3, and maybe just owing to my own biases, it almost seemed to me like she was permitting him to fool around a little ("I may not seem it, but I'm quite tolerant regarding adultery"), but "if any of it ever gets the slightest bit serious, I'll kill you" -- well, that's some serious jealousy there anyway, even if "serious" is open to interpretation

Who would want to take chances with her, when she is already in the bag?
