Araragi was so happy at the start haha. I really enjoy his short conversations with Mayoi. Her character has really grown on me.

I realized, after they said that the Nadeko incident happened just yesterday, that from the start of the Nadeko episode until the end of the last episode, those 4 episodes only covered 2 days :O

And Black Hanekawa finally appears. Really looking forward to it :)

Araragi being so happy after having a date with Hitagi is so adorable. Hihihi. He's so cute. His facial expressions yet again. I can't even.

MAYOIIIIIIIII! I missed you. Gaaaah. My baby Mayoi. <3 And what the fuck, Araragi, why would you touch Mayoi's oppai? Lmfao. I missed Mayoi a lot. :3

Aaand Hanekawa is not okay again. I swear probably the reason why she's so stressed again is she finds out Araragi is dating Hitagi, and she lowkey likes Araragi. That's just my theory, though. Hehe.

Araragi, you hentai! Haha.

What Hanekawa said made a lot of sense. Araragi's been attracting a lot of girls because yeah he's a vampire. Hehe. Araragi, you lucky bastard! Lmfao.

Aaand Hanekawa became the white/dirty cat. I'll stick to my theory that Hanekawa is so stressed is because of Araragi being in a relationship. Hehe.

Good fucking episode, as always.

P.S. Bruh, Hitagi breaking the fourth wall. Hahaha. I really thought her seiyuu is gonna imitate Hiroshi Kamiya's voice. I can't even with that scene. Hahaha.

Next episode should definitely be interesting and damn bro Oshino really called out Araragi for everything lewd he thought about throughout the course of the episode lol. I really hope they can rid Hanekawa of the Cat for good, but who knows considering she will still suffer from a lot of stress as soon as she is back to normal

I like Senjougahara with black hair. Also, she breaking the 4th Wall is hilarious.

Soooo, Hanekawa's cat personality resurfaced.

I wonder why Hitagi hair color become black.

So Hanekawa called Araragi to help her but before that talk about radio joke. That's definitely a dating scheme.

And when Hanekawa said Araragi becomes popular around girl because of her eyes. I suddenly remember of Twilight. lol.

I wonder why Araragi has no normal friend, I mean like a male friend. Excluding MEME of course,
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

He totally just sexually assaulted poor Hachikuji. I guess a roaming spirit can't exactly go to the police though, eh? Why did Senjougahara only appear for two minutes? I don't care about the sexy catgirl. I want my goddess back. I still find Hanekawa speaking in cat language hilarious. I want to see the tongue-twister scene already! That's the only thing still holding my interest in this arc (besides the sexy catgirl).

* Start this episode with a fun old sexual assualt reunion with Mayoi and provides some information about shinubo.
* Banter between senjogohara and araragi while minimal was entertaining, loved the voice actor gag.
* Got alot of dialogue between hanekawa and araragi , providing information about araragi character especially hanekawa thoughts on him and about the vampire attack, says that hanekawa saved him. Some gags about the the radio and cats confused me but was still entertaining to watch, part of araragi enquiry of hanekawa. Liked his assertive nature, when trying to get her to remove her hat.
* One of the interesting moments is when hanekawa alters her catchphrase to something more meloncholic.
* Episode ends with activating the cat in hanekawa what kind of showdown will happen.
* Is it weird I find the white haired cat girl to be the most attractive in the show?

well, technically their friends and she did get back at him for it. And he didn't get any sexual gratification from it he was just having fun and needed to share his joy with someone else by teasing and exerting his energy.

Funny that we saw Mayoi-chan first. She is a violent one alright. He should grab them more so they ripen and are ready for his use. Nah, kidding. But funny they had high school student grab and fondle a minor's garden and asking her to show him her panties. The eroness is really good.

The part with the TV-show discussion Muraragi-kun and Tsubasa-chan had was hilarious too. The humor was great. It was actually that bitter only those with really bad humor would found it funny. Tsubasa is cutie one. Her laughing voice is quite cute. She is indeed a cute one with big jugs. Mmm, those melons. You are one lucky guy, Muraragi, to have been touched by them. The highlight moment of the ep. was none other than:

This was a very calm ep. with few action moment. For my part, I enjoyed it. I am glad this series doesn't only consist of action. For once one can appreciate calm ep. too. And while we are taking about Tsubasa, there is no doubt she has a crush on Araragi. He is just too bold and ignorant to see it. I hope the meddlecat tells him, he need to know!

Anyways, looks like there may be some good action next time. Can't wait!

Araragi groping the fuck out of that little girl was intresting, didnt realized he was such a perv.

Hankawa was super hot this episode espcially in her "sex kitten" form, but i had to skip most of the conversion between her and araragi, that was just too dang boring.

I forgot to mention this earlier but Hanekwawa's OP is pretty good
and it's photographic visuals really make it better.

It's good to see Hachikuji again, missed her interactions with Koyomi.

Hitagi breaking the 4th wall was great, her mentioning her seiyuu
and Koyomi realizing they're in an anime was pretty unexpected.

Hanekawa's cat ears and personality returning aren't a good sign.

I don't really have much to say about this episode. I find this Tsubasa Cat arc interesting but I'd say so far Nadeko's arc is still my favorite. I wonder what is going to happen, and how they are going to deal with this neko.

I can't believe it's almost over. So sad. Definitely going on to Nise after finishing this one.

Lmao at Araragi being all chirpy and shit with Mayoi after his date with Senjougahara, that was hilarious.

Tsubasa in her pajamas = hot; Tsubasa with cat ears in her pajamas = adorably hot.

Yes Senjougahara, your voice actress is indeed great lmao.

So far I’ve been watching from Crunchyroll, so I’ve had the privilege of enjoying this blurry, out of focus-looking version that Crunchyroll has for some reason, and if only had till the last episode which was 12. Downloaded the remaining 3 from somewhere else, and DANG does it look crisp especially after 12 episodes of BLUR

Well guess who's back, I love to see Mayoi again after what Araragi has been through even for a brief second that was a really close too close reunion how I missed their character chemistry

Meanwhile Senjougahara casually breaks the 4th wall but I must say she isn't wrong when she says her voice actress is good, I give her that, About time to actually consult Oshino what to do about Hanekawa's oddity

I thought something bad would happen and it wasn't really that big of a deal just speeding things up when Oshino knocked out Hanekawa to bring out the oddity itself.

I thought the postcard scene was pretty funny. Although I understand how there's a bit of a translation barrier. It's incredible how a show that is so reliant on Japanese puns and wordplay is so well-received by English speakers.

I also liked the brief "voice actress" gag. Honestly, Araragi and Senjo have the best on-screen dynamic.

That fourth wall break was golden. Begs the question - are we living in a live action show? If so, it's totally a shitshow with some of the best world-building and lore out there. Can't believe an episode passed and the only thing that happened was Ruraragi skipping school and taking Hanekawa to Meme.

It's odd how some say they don't get the Japanese puns but I found it pretty easy to get. Anyway... Loli fondling was blissful. Need more of that. And, later when he asked for the shirt I laughed louder than I have in a very long time. I love that kind of humor.

I wonder why such a significantly appraised and lauded anime has so many negative comments. Do people not understand how to read synopses before watching - and if you didn't like it early on yet continued watching it... Wtf? This show is heavy on dialogue because that's how it's supposed to be. It's a subgenre of many genres, and it can actually even be compared to seemingly unalike shows such as Lucky Star. The dialogue is the point. It's unfair to criticize one particular anime for doing something many others do while making it seem like it's not a thing in other anime. The Monogatari series isn't for everyone, sure, but realize the difference between subjective and objective points of view. For example, I'm not a fan of Attack on Titan, but I know it's my subjective view, because I can admit that it is objectively a good show without liking it. Interesting how people think everyone should think like they do. Lol. Monogatari series is definitively an odd one, and I wish people would just say it's not their cup of tea instead of saying this show sucks. (Conversely, some people subjectively enjoy objectively bad shows and can admit that which is awesome).

Lmao. Senjougahara making a seiyu joke never gets old. Apparently, that joke was in the novels too. It's kinda crazy cause it basically predicted the anime. What I don't get is why her hair was suddenly black. I don't think lighting is the cause since it doesn't feel like it.

Hanekawa riding the bike with Araragi is such a chill scene. Everything about it is just so good. I can't really put it into words.

This was another good episode. But it still feels strange to know that the anime originally stopped in the middle of an arc like this in 2009 just to continue a few months later in a web format. I guess this sort of thing is more common nowadays with shows like 86, Isekai Ojisan, Zom 100 etc. taking indefinite hiatuses for production issues. I guess this sort of an issue isn't anything new.
