DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mod Edit: Imortant Notice: This episode discussion thread contains spoilers for all six episodes of this installment of the series. It was first aired bundled together and then split up into six episodes after this thread was made. All other episode threads in this board are unofficial episode discussion threads. Zoku Owarimonogatari contains a story about Koyomi Reverse. He found himself awake but not as a student or student after graduation. He became nobody. At first he thought this was only part of a dream. Until finally he decided to wash his face and see a big change happening to his younger sister. It all started when Araragi looked in the mirror and immediately it seemed the world was upside down. Hachikuji Mayoi also appeared to be an adult.  Mod Edit: Removed multiple screenshots. |

| I really liked this movie! It did indeed feel like an extra story, but I'm not complaining. I especially enjoyed the whole Shinobu conversation and the end scene. Speaking of which, I'm kinda disappointed we didn't see much of Senjougahara, but I guess it makes sense that she didn't appear. The only thing I'm wondering about is the Katakana on Araragi's back... why did it suddenly just disappear? |
| After finishing Owarimonogatari S2, I couldn't help but wonder what story there was left to tell. After watching it, I guess there really wasn't much left to tell. I liked the overall theme, but it felt a lot like a side story, much like Koyomimonogatari. The usual antics were fun to watch, but the movie lacked in excitement. Also disappointed that Araragi didn't "sing a real opening". |

| it was really good but kinda bland and meh at the same time. mark my word. |
 |
| so, from what i understand it premiered as a single movie, yet BD release is as 6 separate episodes. basically a movie split in 6 parts, enjoyable nonetheless it would've been easier to adjust as 6 separate discussion threads, but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'll just comment to each episode individually overall, it was okayish. the last episode was definitely the best one, gave me a bit of feels and so concludes this cycle Monogatari series, but a new one awaits! |

| No Gahara episode? |

| Nice to see grown up Mayoi form again. It probably won't happen, but I'd love to see a "changed" Senjougahara or Hanekawa. It'd be fun seeing them with a completely different personality. |

| Hehehe Gaen Izuko is Big Boss. Based Karen hehe. Karen is around 5'6? Koyomi is pretty short for a guy. Wait...why is Karen shorter than Koyomi here? Something is up... Ayy Ononoki breaking the fourth wall for us this season! But isn't she supposed to be expressionless? God damn it. Koyomi making the face when Hachikuji gets in the picture... Ahahaha! Hachikuji is an adult now...and she gave Koyomi his just rewards! Oh, I guess when Hachikuji became a God, her appearance changed to how she's supposed to look in her current age. Never mind! Koyomi's in a mirror world! Now he's going to Kanbaru's place because maybe the hot springs will give him a lot of reflections as well as a place to stay hehe. Question now is, what kind of a person will Mirror Kanbaru be? Ahh, despite how long it has been since Owarimonogatari 2nd, this series is still fun to watch. |

| Wtf, I thought this was suppose to be a movie that should've run for 2 hrs, so why the fuck that the supposed movie only ran for jaz 24 mins????? |
| anyone knows the name of the ost in the beginning 5 minutes when he entered the mirror? |

| So I just saw the first episode not the movie sadly, I guess I will be editing this comment for every new EP as long as MAL doesnt change it to 6 episodes. Having Araragi talk about the time after graduation made me remiscent of my own, though I always had a next step ready. So I do wonder how this "floating" around time, essentially as a NEET, would feel like. A world without Kiss-shot is no world I would want to live in, though adult Hachikuji keeps me going. PS: not that I forgot about it, but after waiting for 1 1/2 seasons I certainly did not expect the streams to come out so suddenly. |

The last three should come out on the 27th. Ack, I regret watching the first ep; I want the other five already. Ononoki actually having posed looks is so shocking. I love how Shaft just went overboard with the poses. |

You misinterpreted, in this movie there are actually 3 arcs or episodes that are merged into one. While you hear the news that Zoku Owarimonogatari has 6 episodes but Zoku Owarimonogatari actually has 3 episodes, of which six are TV series for the future. You only misunderstand that having 6 episodes is the TV series Zoku Owarimonogatari which will air in the future. |

How do you jump from 1 movie to 3 arcs equaling 3 episodes to also 6 episodes and then to 3 episodes yet 6 series to airing in the future. This doesnt make any damn sense! |

| That old feels of Monogatari ❤ Mayoi onee-san, short Karen and Yotsugi with expression? Great. |

| eh, that was underwhelming. Poking fun at the story's own lack of creativity doesn't make it any better. Well, I guess some time the fountain ought to run completely dry. I mean, it has been dry for a while now, but. |

hiruman said: No Gahara episode? she has a role in the last episode. but it's a pretty small one, so don't expect too much of it |
|
| O M G. How could Mayoi-oneesan be so lovely. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That was fine, I guess. I'm not convinced this movie needed to exist. Just kind of wallowed around and didn't add anything necessary or come to any sort of satisfying conclusion. |

| Big sis Mayoi is definitely the superior version. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Karen only being bothered by Araragi after she went from naked to in her underwear is something I definitely would expect from her .. lol Ononoki is a lot more ... expressive ... like a lot more! Adult Hachikuji! - Awesome! Nadeko with her "Shasha" is kinda like Shinobu with her "Kaka" ^^ Yeah I kinda figured out it had to be what they really were on the inside when Tsukihi didn't change that much and why some changed to their apparation form etc. "Turned on?" - "I'm sorry, I meant put off" ... lmao Ononoki really is impressive, finding out that she's not the right Ononoki for Araragi at the time and reconfiguring herself. Wtf lol, a castle instead of the cram school O_O She's a human because that's her inner side, she used to be human after all. - Clears up the reasoning of Araragi saying vampires dont have reflections and therefore she couldnt be there. Damn, the effect Shinobu has on people she talks to ... Ononoki showing the chart with the suicide points lol. That smirk during the face washing scene was kinda scary. Oooh, it's Kanbaru's mother! Lmao Tooe casually saying to Araragi they could do it later caught me offguard. The "Who wants to be a Millionaire" question was funny ^^ A Clockwork Orange reference! Oh my ... Araragi in a girls uniform! Oh god, that whole converstation about it all being a dream stressed me out, glasd they disregarded that, even though we know from Hanamonogatari already that it wasn't and like Ougi said, even I wouldnt dare to pull something like that ^^ Interesting, so he pulled the "mirror world" in to his own world himself. Awesome way of telling us why he did, it was the regret of leaving everything in the past / burying it. His "reflection" didn't want to lose it. Absolutely beautiful "ending" to a fantastic and amazing franchise. I say "ending" because technically from what we've gotten so far, Hanamonogatari is the ending and there's even more adaptations that come after it ^^ (which I'm really excited for) This season felt right at home in between the seasons seeing as we've seen him experience all those stories, all the people he's met. I think they did a fantastic job at reflecting that in this season. 9/10 |
 |
| Pretty nice knowledge on the mirror thing. It's definitely new for me. So is Gaen Tooe the person that Araragi have regret with? lol. He hasn't ever even meet her. Ougi became the one to solve Araragi's problem from now on I guess, replacing Meme. Araragi didn't say his regret regarding Tsukihi, he prolly doesn't realize it yet. When Hitagi jump like a frog. Yes, she's going to have a frog apparition next,lol. Also she's now following Oikura's hairstyle. "Araragi Koyomi, I'm just what I looked like." lol, he's saying that when he's in a girl uniform. Well, Araragi may not having any regrets with Hitagi, FOR NOW....... If it wasn't because of Hanamonogatari, I would've thought this as a great conclusion for the Monogatari series. Yeah, this mean there's still some sequel to adapt. |

| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I have to admit, that I forgot most about how it ended. But Karen is small? Noooooooo!!!! But Mayoi is big, yaaaaaaaaay!!!! xD |
| Is like they stopped trying.This is just bad fanfic with the monogatari named slapped over it... hope it improves but have low expectations |
| Pretty weak installment of Monogatari, especially when compared to the awesomeness of Owari S2. My biggest gripe is: I can understand Hitagi not being there and not showing “Kisshot”’s face, but why do an asspull and change Ononoki back to her expressionless self when her mirrored self didn’t show up much? |
 |
| Wonderful movie, enjoyed every bit of it... most interesting part was Gaen Tooe I longed to see what kinda person she was and I’m glad she is superior to her sister Gaen Izuko. Big sis Mayoi is <3 Ononoki became more interesting and I really start to like her more after this movie. Kiss shot Hot as steel wished they would make her appear a bit. And the Grand Finale goes to Onnonoki she can be dark and cruel with her dark sense Of humour but at heart she/he is a great person and the ost they played on her scene was top quality which made me hype. Let’s not forget about Gahara and Hanekawa a plus for them. 8/10 I could give it a rewatch some day. |
| mayoi onee-san is my deepest dream |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Bad episode with weird ass shenanigans. The MC meets the adult version of fav loli. And some BS explanation. |
 |
| Lol. I never thought it will be isekai. Smh HAHAHAHA |
 |
| I never knew that I needed onee-San Hachikuji until now |
   |
| What’s with the people commenting their whole opinion on the movie on the episode 1 forum god damn, almost spoiled myself for the rest of the episodes just reading through it. |

snowykevin said: What’s with the people commenting their whole opinion on the movie on the episode 1 forum god damn, almost spoiled myself for the rest of the episodes just reading through it. It was at first one whole movie. Then later divided into 6 episodes after this thread was made. So when this thread was made, it was for discussing the entire movie (all 6 episodes). |
 |
| So Koyomi is trapped in a mirror world with reversed characters, nice. I'm actually very interested to see all of the reverse characters in these next 5 episodes. Although Tsukihi didn't really change much so maybe that might be the case with some of the others. We get older Hachikuji back! I'm looking forward to seeing more of her. Also Kagenui/Ononoki (Kagenoki is what I'll call her) just casually mentioning Hanamonigatari surprised me. |
 |
| Koyomi goes into a mirror world and the weirdest thing is that the other characters aren't completely reversed. It really looks like she's forcing that expression lol  It was great seeing Adult Hachikuji again!  |
 |
| Bruh, Mayoi nee-san can completely spoil me. |
 |
| Welp, guess I’m gonna not read most of the other posts in this thread due to Shaft’s weird way of making episodes into movies and then back to episodes, but here we are at the final installment in Monogatari at the time I’m writing this, because very soon there will be a new season but currently there is not, and it definitely feels weird being here for a couple of reasons, the first is that this series has been unfinished by me since 2019 when I watched all of the First Season content, so to be here at the end finally feels surreal. And the 2nd reason is that this came out back in Spring 2019 which was shortly before I would get into this series, and I even remember seeing Zoku Owari on the list of Spring 2019 anime at the time, so pretty cool to once again finally be watching this. And this final final season about Araragi has quite the intriguing plot, being Araragi stuck in a mirror world where things are slightly different in different ways, like loli-fied Karen, Ononoki with expressions and the return of adult Hachikuji, Ononoki making facial expressions was especially weird but at the same time I loved it lol. And damn it really sounds like escaping the mirror world will be tough after Hachikuji and Araragi discussed it, but I’m definitely interested in seeing how they manage it, as well as what other weirdness this world has to offer, I’m betting an Oikura that loves Araragi is a possibility lol. I also wanted to mention that Araragi’s words about graduating high school is relatable, it was such a weird time for me but it’s also a time I miss, and it’s kinda cool that this aired right around when I was graduating high school even, although it’s years later when I’m actually watching it lol. And that was quite the weird OP but it’s fitting for this arc, and it’s technically Araragi’s only OP so that’s pretty awesome. But that ED tho, TrySail is back again with another slapper, that’s a fantastic one with some fitting visuals as well. |

| When I would watch monogatari I would think to myself I wound't understand the complex story it has and honestly that is true but in the end that doesn't matter, Because I will still love it. The arc itself was okay reminded me of koyomi monogatari felt like filler but the ending was so beautiful. "With afterthoughts to spare... we leap" I just looked at it again and I thought it said "I leap" but that isn't the case. Even tho its simple I kinda like how I thought it said I leap because in reality Araragi has Hitagi with him not his narcissist character he was in his first year. My goat really grew up.. |
