For anyone who can answer, what's this style called where you reverse the order(so read horizontally right to left like you do vertically), you use old forms of characters, and the old grammar style

Wikipedia posted:

At the beginning of the change to horizontal alignment in Meiji era Japan, there was a short-lived form called migi yokogaki (右横書き, literally "right horizontal writing"), in contrast to hidari yokogaki, (左横書き, literally "left horizontal writing"), the current standard. This resembled the right-to-left horizontal writing style of languages such as Arabic with line breaks on the left. It was probably based on the traditional single-row right-to-left writing. This form was never widely used except for pre-WWII official documents (like banknotes), and has not survived outside of some temple name signs.

Nise- only has two arcs? Odd, after the quicker pace of S1

The arcs get a bit longer after bake although not as long as Nise. Most arcs end up being 4-5 episodes. That said they aren't really slower paced so much as they are more indepth, I'd say

Nah they just wanted more time for Arararararararargi to oogle his sisters' boobs and butts and have suggestive conversations with an elementary school kid.

I honestly don't think Nise's longer episodes added any more nuance to the stories than was in Bake. Everything after Nise did, certainly, but not Nise.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Nise's big pacing crime was spending a couple of episodes in the beginning doing nothing but reintroducing all the characters from Bake.

I don't want to go on living the boring life of a celestial forever.

So I watched the first two eps of the bakemonogatari character commentary and this is amazing. instead of whats on screen, they talked about ants! Hanekawa's favorite FMA charater is Kimblee! Senjougahara really wants a slide rude!

It's great how humbled she looks after the fact, like she's been bluffing uncontested for so long that she forgot how scary she is.

Sodachi is cute, but Araragi should probably just stay away from her. She is a font of hatred, and that's not healthy. She's pretty much the internet, angry at people for doing things that only effect themselves. I like her OP.
