Bowling competition between Araragi and Senjougahara.
Good job to Araragi I guess but the gameplay between both were laughable.

The date itself was entertaining though. I really like how the episode pours into building their relationship to the point of first name calling.

Ougi's appearance is chilling. Kinda wonder what decision Araragi will make soon.

5/5

This was a fun and interesting date. Though I have to say I wouldn't do that much on a date but that's just me. I guess that's why I'm always single. T_T

I laughed when Senjougahara got an 82% on her OWN SONG. I would've loved to hear Araragi sing Chocolate Insomnia though. I bet that would be a joy to listen to.

It's nice to see that this couple can finally call each other by their first names. These two are just too perfect together.

I also loved the new ED showing all the old ED videos in order. I really like the song and ClariS is a good choice for this series.

The Ougi conversation at the beginning and end is mysterious. It feels obvious that Ougi is an apparition considering that Gaen wants to get rid of her and Ougi acts very "non-human" like. I don't think Araragi's gonna take any sides in this Gaen and Ougi conflict, but I'm still excited for Ougi Dark nevertheless. As for Hitagi Rendezvous, it was a really fun date arc. Lol, it was pretty funny seeing Senjougahara losing to Araragi so many times. It would've been awesome if we got to hear her and Araragi sing at the karaoke. Lol at Senjougahara not perfecting her own song. But the final scene with the two was cute. Also, they finally call each other by there first names. I though Senjougahara would make fun of Araragi's feminine name like last time, but I guess she didn't. Overall, great arc, but the previous one was better. But this arc was a good breather arc for the (probably) more intense next arc.

5/5

Nice episode good to see familiar faces again especially Hitagi, the date was great... i dont know but i never like Ougi and seems like i never will like.

I'm wondering what they do in that car after sunset ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So today we get 4 episodes and tomorrow 3 remaining episodes. So 7 in total.

The date was nice, of course and the resolution is sweet. But that's not the point for me.

Ougi herself, my favourite anime character of all time, is back. I've waited almost two long years for this and I am not disappointed with the realization, especially that chilling after credits talk.

So, Ougi says that she is not the darkness. What the hell is she then? Some kind of apparition obviously, since they are trying to get rid of her. Maybe a new species like Hanekawa's tiger created from Araragi's soul or something like that? Because she always tells him i don't know anything, it's you who knows. Well, hopefully we will find out tomorrow, can't wait!

Also, is it typical for Japanese people, lovers especially, to not call each other by their first names or is the relationship between Araragi and Senjougahara a special case?

Actually, when you are dating someone, it's normal to call each other by the first name. But, they hadn't achieved that before this episode. That's why it was so beautiful, it's like they are now "officially" lovers.

4 new episodes in a row quite a rare occasion and monogatari is not that easy to watch. That was a nice recollection of events with some explanations.
A (last) date with Gahara-san, i thought she was losing on purpose, but in the end they're finally calling each other by the first name.
Soon Ougi's secret will be revealed so very interested and it feels like she is the final boss so it is the last arc?! And i hope we'll see Oshino Meme again =/

Just going to use this to talk about the second 2-parter - eps 3 and 4.

Things are coming along nicely. I liked the scene with Tsukihi (don't know how to feel about her treating Yotsugi like a literal doll though).

The date!!! It was so so nice. Their romance has never been presented better than it was in this ep. It's really amazing to see, even if it remids me that I'll never have something like that XD

Ougi. She... I think is manipulating Koyomi? No matter how you look at it, she is not on the "good side" her. But she has a very interesting and deep connection with Koyomi - he may actually be willing to help her.

The best thing is, we only have to wait 1 day!! :D

Does anyone have a screenshot of Hitagi from this episode? I would love to share it to my Facebook! This episode really made me fall in love with Monogatari again... 💗

I also love Hitagi's reply to Arararagi, "If I get dumped, then I'll get chummy with Kanbaru" XD

"I am not the darkness"-Ougi

Boom goes my mind with that line... I was sure she was the darkness since when it first appeared in Monogatari Series Second Season.

this has to be one of the best dates I've ever seen. (and might be the best moment I've seen on Monogatari Series so far) I might have waited a lot since the reveal of this season coming, but it was completely worth it.

can't wait tomorrow for more <3

The date was light hearted and fun to watch. Also with a really beautiful end, too bad they didn't show everything, one can just imagine what happened after Koyomi called Hitagi by her first name... :P

Ougi keeps being mysterious, can't wait till we get clarification about her.

The best episode so far. Araragi and Hitagi going on their date was just fantastic. This was the most cutest/sweetest thing I've seen since they first got together. Them sleeping in the planetarium, going bowling and eating while just talking to each other.

They even finally call each other by their first names. That scene was beautiful and it made me so happy. Can't wait for the next arc as it's finally all bout Ougi. I'm very excited to see it and to see people's thoughts on the arc.

Ah I love Hitagi soooo much. <3

Great so far. There are a few minutes where the talking gets a little too boring, but the best moments are simply stellar. Koyomi's joy of seeing Mayoi again, Koyomi's and Hitagi's last moments are unbelievably touching and last but not least Ougi's entrance is the synonym to tension and drama. Can't wait.

Delightful. Also, just watched Kizumonogatari III and my god, this series. When I started Bakemonogatari I never ever thought I would grow to love this series so much. NOW I NEED MORE!!

Edit: I don't know why but I sense that if I rewatch the whole thing I think I'll enjoy it a ton more.

Ah, warm scene for my heart, that's a good date :)
A good date turn into first name calling, I still wish there's kissing scene between Araragi Koyomi x Senjougahara Hitagi in the end.

From the future (Hanamono) we know that Araragi is safe, but I still worried about Hitagi condition that time, I hope there's no bittersweet end between this true OTP.

===== warm/date scene aside ======
And now.... waiting for next adaptation here. This final fight development, I still wonder who is Ougi actually, I get some vibe there's somekind of twist (or maybe she's good at lying). And, judging from Araragi's kindness I get the feeling he will help Ougi.

The ED, with all the previous EDs in order? Perfect. No other word for it.

I also liked how we got to see how Ougi manipulates Araragi's mind this time. Like in Owari part 1, she'd say, "Oh, yeah, you promised to meet up for sushi" and Araragi'd be like "Huh, did I? Yeah, must have done." This time, we get to see it: Ougi sets it up in a dream, Araragi forgets, and then Ougi reminds him in reality that she asked him to back out of Gaen's business. Since the seed was already planted, he accepts it more easily.

Goddamn I love this series.

Now I'm sold. I wasn't feeling it at first, but this episode won me over. I must know more about Ougi. And end scene with Hitagi and Koyomi had the impact of a marriage proposal. It was a really strong and beautiful moment.

Almost a decade after Bakemonogatari came out and delivered that episode 12, we get this perfect date between Koyomi and Hitagi. It was just perfect on all levels. I'm gonna cherish this episode for a long time.

I guess from now on it will be all about Ougi and Araragi. I'm pretty certain now about who Ougi is and it will interesting to see how he will react to finding out.

It's official: Ougi Oshino is absolutely terrifying, even just by talking to Araragi as she has so often done. She's obviously the villain, and the effort put in to sell that to us has proven to be nothing short of excellent.

That aside, Araragi and Senjougahara's date was really cute, and it's nice that they're finally calling each other by their first names.

Damnit Senjougahara! 10 seconds in, and you're already breaking the fourth wall! So blunt!

So Senjougahara likes space...that's cool. And the DATE! Probably one of the best dates I've seen in anime. Especially the scene inside the car at the end of the date. TAKE NOTES! TAKE NOTES!

So Ougi is...God? Back in Owarimonogatari S1, Ougi was rather intimidating in the way she talks and even put Hanekawa under pressure. Now in Owarimonogatari S2, Ougi is straight up terrifying. It feels like she puts you right against the wall and just stares you down, and you can do nothing about it. I don't know what to expect from her, but it's going to be...dark...
