...probably because I didn't expect anything. The camera is very neutral.

Also ep3 has loads of hints that Hitagi doesn't see anything. Araragi doesn't notice only because he stopped expecting normal language from her:

16:58 だから何をしにどこへいくのよ

And another anime that escapes me that had a similar premise.

If you talk we can help. There was one titled Ghost Story.

You know, the more I think about it, the part in ep5 where

Senjougahara reveals that she actually can't see the ghost girl but hasn't said anything because she thought that perhaps she wasn't being normal again, is possibly one of the saddest moments ever.

that was a very lonely thought.

Ep 5 was very good. I really enjoy Araragi's narration of his own unfortunate actions. One of the randomest most enjoyable shows in a while.

I don't see how Bakemonogatari is random. You may not be used to some of the devices employed. But it all serves the narrative.

I don't think it's that random, either.

Anyways, this is a very enjoyable show. I got a lot of laughs from Araragi's narratives of his actions.

Also, Senjougahara must've felt so lonely during the time she was leading around Araragi and Hachikuji, not being able to see something. I can understand that you don't want to be weird/strange again, that something was wrong with me. It's really sad...

So far this anime is pushing on my top1 positition. I love it.

It's great that you're all going along with the emotions, despite lack of the usual overacting. She's so relieved when he makes her promise! And before that:

21:01 愛情に飢えている、ちょっと優しくされたら誰にでも靡いちゃう、惚っぽいメルヘン処女に不幸にも目を付けら れてしまったと…ついてなかったはね

"For an affection-starved Cinderella, drawn to anyone when shown a little kindness, a fool for love!, to unfortunately fix on you...what rotten luck"

No wonder his mouth hangs open for a second ^^

EDIT after some intent listening, to ep3 8:31 as well, I suppose it's メンヘル rather than メルヘン, so replace 'Cinderella' with 'head case'. Japanese rocks.

Gotta say this show has such unbelievable wit and charisma, it keeps wowing me.

Senjougahara is too awesome, i really loved everything about her in ep 5.

Araragi also plays an awesome role.

The convo's just plain kick ass!

That might be where I saw it.

Anyhow, I am sure the premise has been used a few times . It is a classic Twilight Zone story.
