And it is as smutty as Satan intended it.
Nothing else to see here. See you next episode.
But since I promised myself I’d give every episode my very best let me say this: It is tremendously facetious of the show to keep “characterizing” Araragi Koyomi as someone who is “normal” – as someone who wouldn’t be seriously into children, his sisters, etc. by making him say he isn’t at the same time exploit every situation he’s with them by making them naked, showing their crotches, and having them play out pornographic scenes substituting elements with supposedly non-pornographic items (which just makes it dirtier).
I am performing this innocent totally non-sexual game which is totally unfair but that’s okay since I am upfront with it so as to protect my innocent little sister who is now possibly close to the perfection that is the body of Hanekawa Tsubasa because and only because I want to protect her from the perversions of Suruga Kanbaru.
This is the courage of being meta.
Nisemonogatari shows incredible commitment to being smut: oral hygiene for a whole can of foreplay involving toys and oral sex. The very idea that it uses cleaning one’s teeth as an incestuous hentai scenario makes it the fucking god emperor of smut in mainstream anime.
STOP SMUT! CENSOR NISEMONOGATARI! WHY CAN’T ANIME BE MORE LIKE DISNEY!?! SIEG HEIL!!!

I don’t want to be an anime fan anymore…
ZIEG HEIL
“The very idea that it uses cleaning one’s teeth as an incestuous hentai scenario makes it the fucking god emperor of smut in mainstream anime.”
/a/ has a huge toothbrush fetish. The episode 8 thread is quite shitstormy in that regard.
They didn’t enjoy their smut?
Oh, they did. Nise is officially the greatest anime of all time.
the toothbrush fetish originates from Nisemonogatari and the time first novel summaries/translations came around. Since then “go and brush your imouto’s teeth” and such threads have been common sight.
At last the legendary moment came in animated form!
and there was much rejoicing
You’ll never see smut with a budget like this anywhere but SHAFT. They are true bros.
…
Nisemonogatari isn’t the average Shaft title in budget respect though
…well, the translation of ‘shoubu‘ as ‘game’ is completely off. ‘Challenge’ or ‘contest’ is what Araragi meant.
Though it still doesn’t make up for where Nishio went with that…
If there’s any episode of the Monogatari series that I’ll never watch again, this will be it…
I can totally get “game” as challenge or contest… it’s practically synonymous and the context fits.
Maybe it’s just me then – the connotation of ‘game’ is too frivolous for me.
While erotic oral hygiene isn’t?
LOL that second screenshot. i need to watch this show
Oh… OH LOL
You do, if you need smut.
This entire fucking episode.
WHAT WAS THIS ENTIRE FUCKING EPISODE?
I questioned where the hell they were going to go with this after episode 7 wrapped it all up nicely, but man… this? Insanity.
SIEG HEIL
Wait, disregard that.
Dude, smut in general can work in anime, but that doesn’t mean it did here. This was just… absurdity.
this was much better than previous episode
quite serious. This episode kind of validated existence of anime in general to boot.
That carpet is totally friggin’ disgusting.
Beats the Zeppelin phallus.
or the toothbrush one.
what the heck did i just watch? and whats with the opening music type thats usually associated with period shows?
smut
Glad to see you used the toothbrush-penis screencap!
in between the yellow balls
I don’t get you, guys. This is the first episode of Nisemonogatari where I was genuinely entertained because the series finally dropped any pretense that it is more than just high quality smut. And I can appreciate a series which clearly communicates its intention far easier than constantly feeling like I am being bullshitted into believing that there is any deeper meaning to it. If there’s one episode which I will ever watch again it’s this one and I will fap furiously to it. Hell yeah!
Slightly off-topic, after watching seven episodes of Daily Lives of High School Boys I can say that it delivers all the hilarious, high-frequency dialogue (including breaking the forth wall) that I expected from Nisemonogatari. Definitely (and surprisingly) the series which offers the best light entertainment this season.
Watch Koe de Oshigoto instead.
I dropped that High School Boys show. I was bored to oblivion.
Yeah, I can understand that High School Boys might not be everybody’s cup of tea. It isn’t particularly strong (warning: euphemism) in the character development and plot department, so if it all depends on one liking the dialogue which I personally find highly entertaining. It’s not the greatest comedy I ever watched but so far every episodes has managed to get a lot of chuckles, a few genuine loud laughs and a generally good feeling out of me and the waifu.
I’ll give Koe de Oshigoto a try when I’m alone at home and can watch it with pants off.
I wonder what Senjougahara would have done had she been the one to walk in on them.
My visit to the dental technician this week should be interesting.
1. Death.
2. Gross.
The objective of this anime is to make you feel guilty for getting boners.
Guilty Boner – noitaminA should’ve hosted this.
BONERS FOR PEDOS!
No need to feel guilty about getting a raging boner from this episode.
Evolution has caused that siblings do not feel sexually attracted to each other. Now, the funny thing about this defense mechanism against incest is that it only works for siblings who grow up together. It doesn’t even require for siblings to be related by blood, just the close, everyday proximity in a family context. Conversely this mechanism is absent from blood-related siblings who lived separately for most or all of their lives. This can lead to cases of incest if they meet, feel attracted to each other and either don’t know that their are related or disregard the social stigma. The important point is: The mechanism works only between specific persons under specific circumstances, not generally.
That’s why I can easily get aroused from this episode of Nisemonogatari. If I image myself being Koyomi, Karen doesn’t suddenly become my sister with whom I have a livelong relationship and the aforementioned defense mechanism doesn’t kick it. She remains a caricature of a person in my mind which has mostly been presented as the target for male phantasies and I can revel in thoughts doing something dirty and forbidden.
This is also why the Shinobu loli-porn didn’t work for me. It’s not that I only passively don’t feel attracted to prepubescent girls, the thought alone is actively repulsive. And unlike the whole anti-incest thingie, this is one universal and doesn’t change if I switch my perspective to Koyomi’s.
Karen on the other hand is a physically fully developed girl so I don’t feel guilty about being aroused. You now why? Been there, done that. When I myself was in puberty and tried to hit on girls in the same age span. Being a good deal older now I wouldn’t succumb to this urges anymore, mostly because of the power/experience gap but the situation is not as freaky as getting off lolis.
Come to think of it, I wasn’t actually aroused by the episode but by the mere possibility and what consequences it would entail. SO META!
FINALLY
TOOTHBRUSHING TOOTH BRUSHING TOOTH BRUSHING
THIS IS WHY I PICKED UP NISE IN THE FIRST PLACE
YEEEESSSSSS
F*ck you! This episode was perv-tastic! The height of anime in my opinion! Left me breathless and wanting more! The only unfortunate side effect will probably a spike in Japan of people getting boners and wet crotches at the dentist office.
Let them eat cake! And then let them sensually have someone else brush the cake from the teeth!
. . .
I really want to not be ok with this episode, especially considering I do student teaching at a middle school now.
But I can’t. Fucking god fucking damnit.
Don’t worry, GL is just doing the otaku equivalent of homophobe shouting loud and clear out from his closet here!
So, you’re accusing me of being a closet pedophile while you’re admitting that you’re an out in the open pedophile?
Nice try, pedo.
There was pedo fap material in this episode?
just trollin’
though if finding karen attractive after she’s been so throughoughly sexualized through Shinbo’s artsy perv lenses and NisiOisiN’s fetishistic writing makes me a “pedo” so be it
speaking of which, you keep using that word. It doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means
Yeaaaah totally plausible. Creep.
:3
You’re not ok with this episode. You like it, but it’s not ok. That’s fine.
I like Nisemonogatari despite this episode.
I will never see a toothbrush the same way again.
♫ If you know what I meeeeeaan…. uh huh. ♪
Like a penis?
I was actually going to write a post about the meta of the italicized portion there, but I guess you covered it. Perhaps I can get another angle out of it. Like how this is really just roleplay for seriously repressed people to act on their urges without actually acting on them.
Perhaps you, from your closet, could sympathize with those needs.
Macross anime is for people who wish they had bitches fighting over them, but no one ever does.
TTGL is for people who wish they can do great things, but they never do.
Nisemonogatari is for people who wish they can fuck little girls/sisters?
Some closets are different, even if they’re generically closets of repression.
I had originally written this novel without any plans to publish it. I wrote the entire thing without showing it to anyone. I wanted to hide it away without even making a single printout. In other words, this novel was originally something I was going to keep to myself. So this novel was written 200% to fit my tastes. I very much enjoyed getting to write everything that came from my mind without any arbitrary restrictions.
Yes, there were times when I asked myself, “What the hell are you doing? You’re a professional!” But I think there’s a certain charm to approaching writing as if I were an amateur.
I also thank you the readers for bearing with this novel filled with my dumb stories written without much care.

lol just found this. Why I’m not surprised
blah blah blah word of satan
NisiOisiN’s pretty bro and honest satan then!
“Nisemonogatari shows incredible commitment to being smut: oral hygiene for a whole can of foreplay involving toys and oral sex.”
And this alone makes me want to pick up Nisemonogatari now. I know, I’m terrible.
