I finally started really watching honey and clover. I really like it so far. Wished I would have gotten into it sooner. Is the second season just as good?

I think it was Kaal that loved it to death. I think he recommended both seasons.
Anyone wana explain to me wtf happen in episode 8 of Bakemonogatari? + Show Spoiler +
Like why did he let Shinobu bite him? Is it so he can have vampire power again to fight? How the hell did they break the contract.....I though the contract can only be broken if he dies or the arm is cut off. How is his girlfriend coming in solve it? Ugh.....the sub im getting sucks so bad.

Yes, her biting him allows him to get stronger, though the logistics are not explained. Perhaps we will find out in Kizumonogatari. Hitagi coming doesn't do anything, it's what she said. She said if Kanbaru kills Araragi, then Hitagi will kill her. Kanbaru's wish is something along the lines of "kill Araragi so I can have Hitagi-senpai to myself." Thus, a paradox is created and the wish cannot be granted. If she kills him, Hitagi will kill her (and trust me, Hitagi WILL do this in the most painful way imaginable) and the wish won't be granted. Since the wish is now impossible to grant, the contract is void.

The show is pretty damn good. It a pitty that I am stuck with only being able to find terrible subs and voice out of synch but it still really good nonetheless. It can be confusing at time but the characters are all interesting. Some stuff I dont get is why + Show Spoiler +
is that lesbian chick so attach to Araragi? Like I just started the snake girl arc and while walking to the shrine she was all grabbing his arm. Was the lesbian girl order by his girl friend to do that to test his trust or something lol?

precisely.. dono if theres room to throw a kid in there though..
At this point, i think I'm at complete mercy of the characters and story. I want it to end soon, happily. But at the same time i don't. :/
Yeah, same here. I want the story to end, but I'm afraid that it'll be too sad for me if it does end soon. Its kind of like how I feel about Mahou Sensei Negima. I kind of want it to end, but at the same time I don't.

it's about as unimportant as asking why she's lesbian in the first place. she's...flirty? is the best word I can think of atm. it's part of her characterization, the same reason Hachikuji says Arararagi-kun (or is it on accident?!) Also, Hitagi is the best woman in the world, so she would never do that stupid girl trust test. Instead, she does reverse mind rape and if you don't treat her kawaii kouhai with love and respect, she'll...do things to you. unspeakable things. but you should really try to get better subs. the story is mainly driven by speech, so if the subs don't allow you to follow that well, you lose out on a lot =/

I started watching Aria because of you. So far: boring, lack of any plot or significant character development and drags out the simplest ideas...yet why does it make me feel so happy? I love the simple life lessons every episode. And Alice-chan is the only one for me. I wish she was older than 14 though wtf

Indeed she does not disappoint the greatness of Tsundere. =]

Dude, it's a slice of life. Lack of plot is par for the course. And it's boring? Ima kill you. D:
Hey, I'm relatively new to anime and I don't particularly enjoy anime that's a bit too "silly" if you know what i mean. Like over exaggerated facial expressions and the such. I've found 2 animes that i absolutely love, which are of course "Death Note" and the underrated Naoki Urasawa's "Monster". I enjoy these animes because of the deep character development and deep story as well as not having little (basically none) "sillyness". I was wondering if any of you anime experts could suggest any anime that is similar to the kind of stuff that i like or that you think i might enjoy based on what i previously mentioned. Also, I bought the OST's for Death Note and Naoki Urasawa's Monster...Amazing stuff if you haven't checked out the ost's.

Eh, again, if you think tundra is tsundere, then sure.
Incidentally, Hachikuji uses -san for pretty much everyone. About the whole thing with Kanbaru, you'll see Gahara-san's side of the reasons later on in the series. Far as Kanbaru herself goes, well, should be fairly obvious.

Yeah details will be explained in Kizu. The contract isn't so much void as that it was impossible for her to accomplish the 'real' wish that she had. Gahara-san took it a step further and allowed her nominal wish to come true. But as it did not work out the way the rainy devil would usually have it, we see that it leaves a bit of something behind.
