Looks like shit is gonna get real next episode. I'm not sure if ougi is even gonna appear in this ark though. That's disappointing.

I think this arc is 2 months(?) prior to when she transfers in, so no Ougi for now, I guess. Maybe we'll see her in the epilogue for the arc, as we know that Araragi is currently regaling her with this story, similar to what he did in Onimonogatari.

Am I the only one who thinks the first one's design is wack as hell? Looking like an awkward hybrid of supernatural and both genders.

Also Kaiki x Episode is a thing now I guess. Good going SHAFT.

not gonna lie i got pretty confused about a lot of things during gaen's infodump. Maybe it was just the translation I had but it seemed really unclear and convoluted. Can anyone explain briefly her explanation? I really don't wanna have to watch all that again lol

Here we go again.
Gaen is a plot bitch! Seriously, "i know everything, there's nothing that i did not know" who was she? Medaka? Gaen, spare me the bullshit and your funky style, just get the hell out of frame for next eppisode....Thias guy nisioishit really like to piss on his reader, or rather fans?

A night of serious talk about vampire and shit that could pose a threat, suddenly araragi decide to buy a gravure magz, wtf? And coincidentally (as depicted, bumping into him back to back) the vampire that supposed to be the subject of his previous talk happened to be looking for a BL light novel, wtf?

Great theory coming from Gaen. so basically, everything started when Shinobu and Araragi came to the shrine and they made a portal to the past.
Araragi and kanbaru commentary show was hillarious XD
Dat cliffhanger though, i suprised that he already had a body.

Tsk, tsk... did you accidentally used plutonium-based brain bleach? Because Monkey-Kanbaru grabbing Araragi's interstines and throwing him around is... should be... unforgettable. :P
just to be sure, brain bleach part is a joke :P

Not only that, there is also the ending of Nise, when Araragi fights with Kagenui and in Bakemonogatari and Nekomonogatari: Kuro there are also the "fights" of Black Hanekawa vs Araragi/Shinobu".

There's a difference between conversational and expository dialog. For instance, the back and forth exchanges between Araragi and Senjougahara in Bakemonogatari are great. I could listen to those all day. But listening to just one character explain backstory for nearly two episodes is boring as hell to me.

Just drop it if you don't like it. This is a whole point of this series, dialogue. How did you endured that far?

I'm a bit conflicted.

On one hand I enjoyed the info dump from Gaen, especially after the cliffhanger this week.

Last week was more of a recap of past oddities, and this episode was more about putting the pieces completely together; how/why all of the oddities gathered, how Shinobu was involved, how the first revived and why, etc.

On the other hand, between the past two episodes, we've had roughly 30-40 minutes of straight Gaen monologue. I was ok with it last week, and I enjoyed the new information this week, but it really was exhausting listening to almost nothing but Gaen.

lol @ kaiki and episode in the BL cover


also gaen izuko on the adult magazines


Wondering how the meeting between Araragi and The First will work out.

If that's Gaen and Kaiki, I wonder if the blonde guy is supposed to be a young, bishounen BL version of Meme.

And I had no idea Kaiki was into that sort of...stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Amateur mistake on Araragi's part when paying for the books. Should have had the BL books right on top. Would have still had the odd "look" from the cashier, but at least they likely won't laugh at the poor attempt to try and hide it, instead assuming it may or may not be being purchased for someone else.

Of all places to run into that guy. And revived already? I'm with Gaen on this one, this freak of nature needs to die.

Awesome ep. Does that mean that the armor dude have taken over the last character we saw in this ep.? Also, has he been revived as a human? I am bit confused about that, but I am sure the long hair woman (even though hsi voice were more male-like) is the armor dude since he said "Have you brought the message to Kiss-Shot?". Well, this is going to be interesting. I am wondering how they are going to defeat him,

Anyways, pretty nice to have some humor in the 2.nd part of the ep. The scene with Araragi-senpai buying books were funny. Pretty good ep. and a lot of interesting talking.

If you take a step back, Ougi is sitting there listening to Araragi's recollection of events months prior, including all of the explanations by Gaen. And because Gaen knows everything, Gaen probably knows Ougi is listening in.

Basically, The First and Shinobu were responsable for everything that happened until now in the series, in a simplified way.

All the apparitions became attracted to the temple, since there was nothing to replenish them (Like a god, as Gaen said)

With that information in mind, i still recommend you to watch the episode again though.

LOL at the last part, Yato buying BL novels as a request from Kanbaru.
and since Yato branded as a lolicon was forced to buy also MILF items and lol at the "employees laughing"!

I used to think he's either a troll or a super elitist. After reading that I know he undestands nothing about Monogatari, heck he didn't even pay any attention to this (or apparently the previous) episode.

You say that as if disliking a show means that I don't understand it or pay attention to it.

Heck, I started reading the light novels and I think they're decent. That wouldn't be possible if I didn't understand anything about the story.

Well.. the fact that you didn't even recapped the episode properly (I don't know if it's just your English problem but they certainly didn't choose to call Kagenui.. yet) or that you didn't even realize the "new" character was Shinobu's first familiar made it clear to me you barely paid attention to the story or the dialogues. I suspect that's most likely the case too with the whole Monogatari series. Good thing you're reading the novels, that'd probably give you some details you obviously missed out in the anime.

No, I said they chose to call Kagenui to help as a last resort, meaning that they said that was their option if things go bad, but I didn't say that it was a fact that they were definitely going to do that. Just that they chose that as their option.

I also knew that guy was Shinobu's first familiar, because I was, in fact, paying attention to the story and dialogue. It was pretty obvious to figure out anyway, considering that he had already been talked about previously in the episode, as well as in Second Season. I just called him a new character because that was his first appearance in person, and because he wasn't explicitly identified as being her first familiar until the following episode (and I was recapping based on what information has been explicitly given in the episode I was recapping).
