Someone convince me that HS aren't as bad as they used to be.
It's pretty well subbed with signs and all. The image isn't very sharp though. I remember Bake being better in that department.

Having the slow paino version of Hachikuji's OP from last season helped. I didn't like Hachikuji that much early last season due to her noisy, original OP2 - but she's the closest "friend" character that Araragi has. He literally goes all out when he's around her, and she's on the same idiotic/fun scale to match him.

I was pretty detached from it all during the first half of the episode, despite it featuring Hitagi of all people. It may have been the need to adjust to the pace, or the image quality.. or that it took till the 2nd half to actually talk about something of substance (Araragi's problems).
