Great episode. Not quite as good as the LN, but an amazing adaptation nonetheless.

My memory might be alil fuzzy since its been quite a while since I’ve watched anything monogatari related but this is by far the best ending to a monogatari arc yet, one of the best coming of age story I’ve watched with a satisfying and emotional end to it.
NGL I was surprised Nadeko alone was able to beat medusa Nadeko this fast let alone actually beat her lol, I remember her being such an unstoppable menace back when Araragi and Shinobu fought her, granted it was loli Shinobu but hey. Im certain she’ll become a great manga creator and a hell of a specialist. Cant wait for the next arc!
It also caught me off guard that Shinobu randomly popped out and was casually talking with someone that killed her not once, not twice but as she said 1000x and was even giving her advice when it comes to her shikigami powers. Also was Shinobu inderectly telling her that she likes her now? Lol

Again once again another 10/10 episode during this season, I love how meek Nadeko the "weakest" was the only one behind everything. And ougi coming to pick her up but bringing her to senjou's house was funny asf. But the best part this episode was confronting meek Nadeko and telling her how everything should be, Looking back on Nadeko in bake shes grown so much as a character its just perfect.

"Please look forward to Nadeko Sengoku-sensei's next work!"
I love this part too it just fits her character so much its like she wrote the arc not Nisio.

yeah one sided love is so fricking hard too handle, what ever you do, you'll never be with him/her. But Good Job Nade-koh.

And Shinobu is BACKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the LNs of this arc awhile ago but it still hits hard til this day. I thank shaft and Nisio Isin for bringing this arc alive. For creating such an inspiring and impactful arc

How to end such an amazing character arc, a character journey. Tbh I don’t even think masterpiece is the right word to describe my love for this arc.This arc is the beauty of Monogatari, the hardships and beauty of life.

It’s so fitting that Meek Nadeko was the final endgame for Nadeko bcuz she’s the origin of everything. It all stems from her affection of Araragi. What makes it impactful is she embraces meek. Her love life with Araragi isn’t the end of the world and she needs to accept that and come to terms with it. Then she can stop looming in the past and forgive herself and move forward with life which is what the final speech is about. It comes full circle with her character arc. She can still love but also look towards the future. The future is filled with endless possibilities just like a Mangaka with a pencil and paper.

An arc about loving yourself, forgiving yourself, accepting yourself, embracing and accepting the past, looking towards the future. Nisio isin is one of a kind

this was easily one of my favorite arcs in the whole series so far, every moment of this was just so beautiful and hopeful and wholesome

nadeko deserved this arc

What a boring episode. About 5 minutes worth of story and 25 minutes worth of epilogue. Kind of a synopsis of the entire arc

ImaNadeko facing BakemoNadeko and telling her that it's over, she cannot remain in her delusions of ever reaching Koyomi anymore is both heartbreaking and probably one of the greatest character arc conclusion ever written, I actually cannot believe I shed tears watching this, last time I did was probably several years ago.

This is a simple Masterpiece, in 6 episodes only centered on Doll and Snake this is already my 3rd favorite Monogatari season ever behind Kizu and Nise.
Nadeko haters really in shambles now that out of 3 arcs, Nadeko has 2 in the top5 of monogatari arcs objectively.

So this was Sengoku's true final arc. Wrapped up her character really well though I am hoping we see her more as a manga artist.

Also, W Shinobu cameo.

This arc was utterly phenomenal, quite honestly I did not think I'd think I'd like this season as much as I did. Nadeko's development was sorely needed, and I loved how it was portrayed, lol'd at Ougi just stealing Koyomi's car, classic Ougi. I'm kind of worried that the other works will not be nearly as good as this one, but I hope they're al least a fraction as good as this arc

Well, this arc turned out to be among the best ones out of the whole series. It has such a great message, and made Nadeko such a wonderful character ! I really loved how everything was handled and this last episode was so sweet and inspiring. You can't stay passive and wait for something to change in your life and make you happy, you have to seek for this change yourself even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone... But this doesn't mean you have to forget or resent who you used to be. You simply have to use your past experiences to build yourself into the person you wish to be, one step at a time.

I didn't expect for what's essentially a spin-off to have such a great arc ! I hope whatever comes next will be just as compelling.

Cute character ≠ good character so this was by far the most boring arc of this series in general, this character became so empty and boring compared tp early seasons of the anime. Hopefully the future arcs of this the Off & Monster will be better .

The episode's resolution focus on self-acceptance and love were animated beautifully over the episode. The le motif present in the music from Renai Circulation was so cool. SHAFT may change lead directors, but they have always managed to incorporate the old into the new.

I love how the VW had a clutch pedle but the dash was for an automatic, AND the car was in PARK while Ougi was driving.

I really wanted to see Senjougahara again. Too bad Nadeko's plan wasn't to kill her haha.

Nice conclusion to this Nadeko arc. I'm kind of surprised she isn't in love with Araragi anymore but it is what it is. Ougi still gives me the creeps. Really liked the episode with Sodachi, and as much as I love Hayami-san's voice, Ononoki's speaking style was tiring some episodes. Waiting for the next arc.

Well I'm glad the whole Nadeko story has finally concluded. Maybe we can now take a look at other girls like Kanbaru and Senjougahara.

Since nobody listed this as a thread the day 6.5 was released. I thought it is better to have one since people might just skip 6.5 and treat it like a recap episode. Like it is an amazing prologue for waza and a uniquley presented half length episode with a very "VITAL" monogatari lore

God Nadeko went down faster than expected. Still was happy to see her again. Her crazy "innocence" just gets me every time.

This episode hit too close to home. I only was in love once in my life, many years ago. Its been so long I began to wonder if I ever actually loved anyone.

OK I lied I love Kiss-Shot Acerola Orion Heart-under-Blade. Sadly I dont have the ability to turn 2d things into 3d..

It's amazing, Nadeko is fit to become a specialist. I wasn't really expecting she'd be fit to be one someday. Nadeko has really changed, from being an incompetent and weak character to becoming a strong one. Even Oshino Shinobu praised her for that. Also, yay! We see Shinobu! But what happened to her "kaka" laugh? I was expecting that!

This arc was amazing and one of the best ones, won't mind if Nadeko becomes the new protagonist (probably won't happen tho)

My only doubt it's: Why can Shinobu be/travel in Tsukihi's shadow if she's the phoenix and not the real sister of Koyomi. Is this explained somewhere or am i just dumb?

I loved Nadeko's character this arc. To me she always felt a step behind the other main girls in the series (because they're all great), but now I feel really satisfied with her character.

Nadeko speaking to her "past" self through the Shikigami was beautiful, and we even got Shinobu for the epilogue! End of Nademonogatari, definitely a 10/10 for me.

This arc did not work for me at all, I was bored for the most part. Felt like side story filler and didn't feel like it mattered at all. Next episode looks promising though.
