As I have not seen any of either I will refrain from voting until I know what I am voting for.

I tend to like jets and ships more than mechs though, but we'll see.

We shall see....

Oh! It's for which you will be watching. Both then. I thought it was a favorite/most hype poll like usual.

I have not seen either show, so whichever show is best will determine who my favorite anime friend is! May the best anime poster win!

Kani/kami. Crab and god are connected. Nice.

Also there's something seriously wrong with this girl other than getting her weight stolen.

She is also not very good at wearing clothes just like she says.

I have no idea what is happening here.

Is this some kind of 11th dimensional mind chess game to break Araragi? :iiam:

Well. That certainly explains it.

Leading off with rape seems like a questionable choice. But at least it wasn't one of those completely tasteless at best portrayals or a plot device for a different character, and the episode basically ends with her coming to terms with events in some way instead of basically being traumatized by it forever with a supernatural twist. I guess that remains to be seen how she plays out from here though. But she didn't smile until the end and that has to mean something right?

I think the whole point was that now she can actually suffer like a normal human being instead of being cold and emotionless. At least that's how it seemed to me.

If Araragi were more honest with himself he wouldn't get played by Senjogahara so hard.

It seems like there's a layer I'm missing since I don't understand Japanese. Oshino spends awhile talking about Mayoi's name, and makes me think I should have picked up something from that earlier. Araragi read her name before he approached her, is there some signifigance there?

As I understand it from what was being said, it's basically a written pun since the kanji are close for cow and snail or something, and then another step involving numbers to get Hachikuji. I'd have to go back and listen again to be sure. Basically, she's named herself after the kind of oddity she is in an indirect way.

Kind of like how Kami is god and Kani is crab. The not quite homophones from the first arc on Monday. Crab God. Kani Kami.

Also, it's worth noting that this and the big name explanation and subsequent reveal over the phone was supposedly foreshadowed by Senjougahara commenting on Hachikuji's name earlier on.

Is there going to be this much word play in future eps? I'm not exactly fluent or even conversational but it would be nice to know if I could possibly get more out of it by at least trying to pay closer attention.

Kylra: Dec 1, 2006; Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.

Ok, I went back, and apparently the deal with Hachikuji's name is something like the kanji it is written with can also be read as "misfortune". Apparently there was a pilgramage of some sort called "Hachikuji" that people stopped doing because of this, so Hachikuji is named after an unfortunate journey that no one wants to go on. More or less. Assuming I got it right this time.

The numbers thing was just me thinking that one of the flashes where I saw the hiragana for "chi" written on her backpack and thinking that it was a 5 because I didn't see it too long, and she has 8 (hachi) and 9 (ku) in her name. And I couldn't remember what 5 was supposed to be. So I thought the other two symbols might have been for 8 and 9 and there may have been some weird numerology involved. But no, I guess she's just 89ji.

...for now. I don't think it's been reiterated whether this is a coincidence that someone with the name Hachikuji just happened to get in this situation or if she made that her name after. I wouldn't be shocked if this comes up a couple more times though!

And now I have dozens more fellow fans of this show.

Also has nobody mentioned that the best girl confessed within 5 episodes, absolutely contrary to most other shows airing these days?

The scene bloody cured my depression twice.

I said she knows what she wants.

It was refreshing even if the dialogue is still intentionally odd.
