Considering it's AoA doing the simulcast on CR for Nise, it's entirely possible.

Nisemonogatari Anime to Have 11 Episodes

posted on 2012-01-10 01:47 EST

Director Akiyuki Shinbo confirmed in volume 23 of Yosensha's Otona Anime publication on Tuesday that his Nisemonogatari television anime series will be 11 episodes long. He added that it would be best to include the characters' high-tempo, back-and-forth conversations and maintain the balance of the story to the very end. The interviewer asked if Shinbo would like to animate all of NisiOisin's original Monogatari novels, and Shinbo said he would.

NisiOisin's Monogatari novels inspired the Bakemonogatari television anime series, this season's Nisemonogatari television series, and the upcoming Kizumonogatari film. The ninth novel volume and the last one in the "second season" arc, Koimonogatari, shipped on December 22. The last three, Tsukimonogatari, Owarimonogatari, and Zokuowarimonogatari, will ship this year.

Well if you liked Bakemonogatari you will probably like Nisemonogatari, though Nisemonogatari seems to have some ecchi in it... but then again only 1 episode has aired so I can't really say for certain if it will continue on or whether or not the show is "good".

Bakemonogatari had ecchi in it too.
Except that it had some of the highest quality fanservice I've ever seen in anime!
Fanservice done right!

i wouldnt really call it fanservice. The generic fanservice that i think of is usually gratuitous and pointless. (panty shots, random showers and changing [see dxd], well endowed individuals etc) The scene that comes into mind in bakemono (senjougahara teasing araragi) was done in humour and it had a point and aided in illustrating the dynamic character that is senjougahara.

Also, it makes me cringe when people refer to senjougahara as merely a "tsundere". She has transcended that archetype of kugimiya characters. She's a completely unique and original ball of sharp wit and seductive energy.

Uh, yes? You said "the GENERIC fanservice that I think of"
And as I said Bakemonogatari has some of the BEST I've seen in all anime. In other words, it is NOT generic.
And yes, fanservice is fanservice. Good fanservice is good. Bakemonogatari has good fanservice.
Capichè?

There was also some fanservice-ish type of stuff in the Snake arc and in the OVA Car arc, but it wasn't there just pointlessly. Really, the only ecchi shot that the show had was right at the start in like the first few seconds where there was a rather egregious panty shot, which is actually kindof disappointing. What makes it worse is that in the light novels that panty shot has a significance and implications, whereas in the show it just seems like hey, here's some panties for you!

Senjougahara's personality doesn't change, either. Tsunderes are usually all uppity at first and then get all sappy. Senjougahara on the other hand stays sharp throughout the entire series. She actually calls herself, or rather says that she guesses other people call her that, but the point is that she's really not.

ep 1
Awesome!
And... how exactly is Araragi not a pedophile again?

Yep, that panty shot is totally pointless and annoys me every time i watch this.
About ecchi stuff, I think it can be called more than 'fanservice'. Of course it also partially serves as one(an added value), but that was rather a clever use of ero stuff, cause it had a meaning, sometimes built the atmosphere too(like the scene in sengoku's house).
Usually when random fanservice appear in some anime I get rather annoyed, but here I was pleased with the view :)

probably that's why Araragi referred to her as 'tsundra'* right after, she's 100% tsun ;)

* i think that part may have been mistranslated in fansubs.... It have been translated as 'tundra', which don't really have a meaning in this context. I think that, as opposed to tsun-dere - half tsun half dere, he meant tsun-dra, leaving only tsun, and adding 'dra' to give it a nice ring. That may be also tsun-'dora' like dragon, but i doubt that.
