Interações S Tier! Adorei. Por mais que esses episódios não sejam muito significativos, eles mostram o que ocorre nos bastidores, a vida do Araragi nem sempre é uma tempestade de emoções e mostra o quão ligado e dependente ele é das suas amizades, sempre que uma duvida ou problema aparece, ele liga para uma delas. Eu gosto dessas demonstrações de humanidade, torna a situação mais realista.

Então... onde a Shinobu consegue essas roupas? Ela consegue criar elas ou são compradas pelo Araragi? Apenas uma curiosidade inútil.

Não acho que a Shinobu fez isso por amor, se a dor do Araragi é passada para a Shinobu, o mesmo não vale para o sabor?

S Tier interactions! I loved it. As much as these episodes are not very significant, they show what goes on behind the scenes, Araragi's life is not always a storm of emotions and shows how connected and dependent he is on his friendships, whenever a doubt or problem arises, he calls one of them. I like these demonstrations of humanity, it makes the situation more realistic.

So... where does Shinobu get these clothes? Can she create them or are they bought by Araragi? Just useless curiosity.

I don't think Shinobu did it out of love, if Araragi's pain is passed on to Shinobu, isn't it the same for the taste?

(Sorry for potato english)

This was by far my favorite episode of Koyomimonogatari so far. Shinobu was really entertaining and I like how it was focused on a donut hide and seek style game rather than just a generic mystery

Loved this episode! Not just because Shinobu is my favorite character or anything baka.

Since I've been watching Gridman, I just noticed that Shinobu is doing the Ultraman thing when she pops out lmao. And oh my, that Hanekawa swimsuit though. Hmm, I wonder if Shinobu really did put that smol donut inside a bigger donut or if she ate one. Well, we'll never know, only Shinobu knows.

So this is the episode where those glorious shots of Hanekawa in a white bikini came from.
Shinobu was also very cute (as usual).

The final message was heartwarming, but overall this episode was the weakest one so far in my opinion. I mean, there wasn't even a real mystery, most of the episode was just a discussion about donuts (and some loli fanservice). The conclusion was cute, but coming from a character like Shinobu, I expected an episode a bit more serious and oddity-oriented (when I'm telling you they keep wasting her potential, I'm not kidding).

At least there's one mystery that has been solved : I recently watched that teaser for the audio commentary, and I wondered what Shinobu meant when she suddenly said "Panaino". Now I know. Kinda.

And now there's also the timeline. Even if I'm still pretty lost, I'm starting to understand some things. Firstly, Koyomimonogatari's episodes are in chronological order, no problem on that part, I already more or less figured it out before. But thanks to that we got to learn something pretty interesting. It's been told that this episode takes place after Nadeko stole the talisman and became Nadeko Medusa, and now it is confirmed that this arc takes place right after Sodachi Lost since here Hanekawa was apparently right about to leave in order to search for Oshino. And another thing : apparently, only a month passed between Shinobu Mail and Nadeko Medusa. Maybe it can explain some aspects of the timeline I was confused about.

Senjougahara made doughnuts for Araragi how sweet of her. This episode didn't have any mystery though. It only had Shinobu and Hanekawa fanservice which was good, but they didn't tell us where the 4th doughnut was.

This episode has two sides. One is entertainment and the other is enlightenment. Masked under the guise of donuts is the truth about Araragi&Shinobu's relationship. It was not even about the secrecy and the negotiating at all.


What Tsubasa revealed at the end was the most important of all. Even though Shinobu intentionally hid it metaphorically by hiding one donut within the other donut, it can never escape Tsubasa. She revealed that Shinobu&Araragi loves each other. I think that she was expecting that Araragi would consult Tsubasa after finding only three donuts instead of four. The words below says it all.

"To put it another way, being completely selfless, even at the risk of one's life."
....
"About Love."


So it is contrary to what others tell that what Shinobu did shows that she loves Araragi alone. The fact of the matter is that, Shinobu showed Araragi what he has done for her. I think this is related to her question to Araragi in Kabuki wherein she also asked Araragi to tell that he loves her. Araragi is just too dense to notice it but his actions are very clear. Tsubasa really matured and have moved on to be able to handle telling Araragi what Shinobu was trying to tell him.
Ohh that's an amazing interpretation. So this episode was more about Shinobu's love for Araragi.

A delightful episode. A visual feast in many ways, and I can almost taste those delicious Mister Donuts. My favorite part was Shinobu flying thru the donut-filled sky. Absolutely adorable!

Shinobu removing her leggings was kinda hot. She can have all the donuts in exchange for those leggings. I want to sniff it!

Mein Schatz is a very cool OP, but a bit too epic for this episode lol. And I swear it took me like 20 minutes to watch this 10 minute episode because of the amount of times I was pausing it to get screenshots and also just having to rewind to reread certain parts because I was distracted by the visuals, especially that final bit with Hanekawa on the beach, after she got done talking I realized I didn’t get any of it lol, another example of Shaft going above and beyond.

And Shinobu sure loves her donuts, her donut speech was quite moving, but I like that this episode’s lesson or punch line was that she could put aside personal bias and play by the rules, yeah maybe she didn’t get to eat the donut Araragi didn’t find but she managed to successfully hide one of the donuts, but it’s also possible Hanekawa is full of shit and Shinobu ate it lol, either way this was a very fun episode, one of the bests of this season and I’m not even the biggest fan of Shinobu.

Wonderful donuts episode.
Literally the saying that people (or at least me) prefers a combination of familiarity and novelty.
Totally as expected, Shinobu was allured by donuts and ended up in a meandering conversation with Koyomi.
Totally unexpected, Shinobu ended up letting Koyomi have the donuts and kakushi'ed Koyomi in two ways.
08:32 is a signature Kanbaru face.
