Hana really sets the tone of S3 (and S3 it), still don't get the hate beyond how unlike the other monogatari vols there are up to this point. Brooding Kanbaru is actually not half bad.

I must have missed the first time around. Then again, Monogatari is couple years old and I only read/watched it last month.

Oh btw for anyone interested, seeing as the anime just completly left out the explanation why Jesus in magic Jesus is that dull. I don't think they left out the explanation to have it explained in the OVAs that are yet to come... that'd be just stupid but it IS possible that that's what they intend to do. Anyways, for those that want to know, everything in the spoiler was explained between 9school competition and the last arc in source if I recall correctly, maybe even earlier:

+ Show Spoiler +
Tatsuya and Miyuka are really siblings. Tatsuya is not an Android. Miyuki was born a goddess of magic and Tatsuya was born completly talentless except for this one trademark magic of his. This was unacceptable for their aunt, Maya Yotsuba, the head of the Yotsuba family.
Now the yotsuba's all happen to have some trademark magic that only that one person in question can use. For Miyuki it's that freezing magic that freezes the "soul", for Maya it would be her lightning thingie and so on. Tatsuya and Miyuki's Mom (that makes her the sister of Maya) happens to be a magical brain surgeon. So Maya went up to her and was like
"yo sis, you see that failure of a son you've produced? Let's try and give him an artifical *part of the brain that's responsible for magic*"
and his mom was like "yolo, let's do this"

But she can't just "add" something new. So she wiped out the parts of his brain that are in charge of "strong" emotions and replaced it with with something that makes him good at magic. Experiment was a failure btw but as a result he's still unable to feel any "strong" emotions, whatever that might be. They left one emotion in him though.

+ Show Spoiler +
"goddess of magic" seems like a misnomer but in term of magic power, there doesn't seem to be anyone on par with Miyuki, save Tatsuya. In the Visitor arc, Miyuki fights against another Strategic class magician and hold her own.

yep. That's what's going to be explained in the OVAs

Did they announce an OVA or are you just expecting it? They skipped LN vol 5 and I don't see how they can work it into the second season smoothly. OVA does seem like the best idea. They need to include chapters 1 and 4 of vol 5 at the very least to make some events of the Visitor arc to make sense.

Since he's basically all about protecting Miyuki, if she decided to crush Maya wouldn't he just go and do it then? I don't really see what's stopping them from breaking away from the Yotsuba family aside from Miyuki not actually wanting it to happen.

+ Show Spoiler +
It's said that Miyuki has loyalty towards Yotsuba and wouldn't do anything against the family, even though they treat Tatsuya like trash. Tatsuya has the ability to defeat Maya but doesn't because someone else would simply replace Maya. "better the enemy you know". So in short, Yotsuba has a leash on Tatsuya due to the fact that Miyuki is next in line to succeed the Yotsuba name and Tatsuya won't do anything to jeopardize Miyuki's situation.

Anime pls.

Hanamonogatari was so disappointing. :<

nothing announced but the last couple of seconds on the last episode were a mighty tease in that direction. You saw Maya sitting in her chair, talking to butler (iirc) and saying that she could call in Tatsuya and Miyuki for a visit. That's the beginning of kid-batman volume.

About the duel... + Show Spoiler +
yeah kind of depends. I mean Tatsuya is obviously mighty but is very much mediocre when judged by classical standards because he's only good when by-passing the act of actually "casting" magic. He is stronger than Miyuki but I didn't want to make it sound like Miyuki > Tatsuya, just that he lacks in that what is judged in the practical lessons


I do hope they include the first chapter of vol5 as well but seems like kid-batman is first based on those last seconds of the last episode (assuming there are going to be OVAs). Don't really think chapter 1+4 of that vol are needed though...
Actually the first one is probably needed so that people can laugh about honaka even more when her "clone" gets owned as well but they could leave that out. But would make for good OVAs just because they are short stories inbetween so maybe we'll get some of that vol.

Always the incest, no matter where you go incest will follow you. Pretty well put together ep aside from that. Putting in that scene of her crying in the middle of the ED was a nice touch

Maya and Hayama talking is setting pace for vol 8, which is probably going to be the first 1/3 of the second season imo. Reminiscence will probably be really jam packed considering how Visitor arc is three volumes long.

Vol 5, Ch. 1 seems necessary for a smooth storyline transition otherwise the entire introduction of + Show Spoiler [new character] +

doesn't make any sense at all. They also really glossed over the Elements background of Honoka. Ch. 4 is just for Mayumi's bath. XD What's an OVA without a little fanservice.

Daaamn.
I rarely watch more than 1 series per season. Sometimes, none at all.

This season I'll be watching at least 5, maybe even 7+.

Cross Ange Episode 1 : WOW! At first, I thought it would be a typical Princess anime, happy etc. :O

World Trigger : Interesting first episode. Hopefully, the characters at Border are not unkillable.

This season is looking GOOD so far

Very good (IMO) :
FSN UBW : Enjoyed FZ. Not so much FSN + UBW movie, hopefully this anime will be great.
Cross Ange : That first episode got me!

Good
Log Horizon 2 (Only because of the first episode, I'm sure it will go up)
Terra Formar (If it weren't for the constant censorship, this anime could be higher : I enjoy the atmosphere, the universe)
World Trigger : So far so good. Kuma's faces are funny at times. MC looks weak

Awaiting first episode :
PP 2

From Summer :
Akamage ga Kill
SAO 2 (Btw, this episode... so much talking)
Argevollen : Neeed to catch up ; haven't watched the last few episodes.


What other anime caught your attention? What else is worth a try? I think I can afford 2-3 more series before being saturated

If you've watched (or read, if you're cooler than me) the series and haven't noticed the appeal, I dunno man. Kaiki just has an incredibly interesting personality and it's fun to watch what he does for what reasons. Also his character songs have been amazing, that cello I could listen to all day. Also MEAT.

Is Grisaia no Kajitsu worth getting into? I'm scared to open any spoilers in case I do end up watching it.

Bahamut was way better than I expected. Though I dislike the some of the character art / design / the main character (dat hair & lips) ... but still definitely intriguing and seems like it will be worth watching.

The only ones here capable of any meaningful spoiler on Grisaia are just me and Kaze, maybe Kaal? Don't think anyone else read up to game 3.

With the only thing that the two of us do being just chanting #1 over and over again, there is really nothing to spoil unless people manage to spoil themselves from 4chan or something and post here~
