This got good. I am really liking the pink haired guy.

I feel bad for Yuri. I hope she doesn't become a rapist. (But, I still hate Ringo! May all the bad things in this anime happen to her.)

I kind of find Kanba's way of talking annoying. It sounds like he's rehearsing for a stage play. He really gets rid of my suspension of disbelief every time he delivers his "emotional" lines.

Well that took a dark and unexpected turn. I'm trying not to hate Shoma since after all he's just a kid in a really fucked up situation.

This episode was just incredible. I did not expect that Yuri's name would be used in its direct meaning, it just took me off guard. Ringo presumably got tied up (Yuri is into shibari) and fabulous max'ed. God, every character in this show is so broken. Masako thinks that Kamba has some incestous feelings towards Himari and wants him to redirect his love to her. Kamba is doing some shady stuff to get money from the people with black and white penguin symbols. Shouma friendzones Ringo because he's weighted down by his guilt. Himari can't reconnect with her childhood friend. Sanetoshi is amazing again, I can listen to his voice forever. Everyone except Masako is obsessed with Momoka.Yuri is just... *sigh*

The ride she gave Ringo on her red car into the dusk really, really reminded me of a certain scene from Utena. Not only visually, but thematically too.

It's also interesting how the penguins in the final scene of ep. 13 showed N. 3, N.1 and Esmeralda in the onsen, although the ones to be there were Yuri and Ringo. I wonder what that might mean.

I especially liked the scene with Masako attacking Kamba. To be precise, the shot when she steps onto the seat near his crotch, it just screams control and sexuality at the same time.

Masako also has a persistent visual symbol connected to her and the mansion she inhabits - a sprout or something like that. I'm very interesting in her backstory. Why is she living in such a huge house, seemingly alone (except for Mario)? WHy does Kamba hate the Natsume family? Were they some policemen who accused his parents of terrorism or something?

The strings of fate that form this story slowly come together and merge to form the rope I use to hang myself, feelsokayman
This is an official MAL signature. Monogatari is the best anime. Thank you for your time.

Ok now that's actually kind of contrived. The revelations in this episode came out of nowhere.

God everyone's messed up.

only shouko and tabuki are innocent in all this.

But it felt like justice when Ringo got project M'd by Yuri. How do u like them apples now! Atleast now you will know what it is like to drug someone and rape them. Have a taste of your own medicine!!

her getting rejected by shouma is the best thing that has happened in this series all day.


Since it is fate, and she likes fate, she should submit to it.



Considering she almost destroyed Tabuki and Yuki's marriage by making Tabuki fake confess that he likes ringo while under influence of drugs, it is only fair that she gets her just desserts.

Just a little skinship going according to fate. Have fun Ringo!!

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

hell yeah the rapist stalker finally gets put in her place, she indeed only thought about herself and what was beneficial. 
Also that XKR in the beginning was gorgeous, if only the Initial D's remake looked this good

Don't know how I feel about having laid my eyes on fanservice pics of a penguin

So back when Yuri didn't seem that bothered about Tabuki being a horndog for Ringo thanks to that potion, I just thought she was being mature about it. Finding out about her true colors was pretty yikesy to say the least.

Seeing a character named Yuri with a female "partner" on stage was clear foreshadowing.

I'm just glad I could guess anything right. This show is impossible to predict.

So that why her name is Yuri. You guys need to stop simping and understand that it hurts Shouma to be with Ringo and he is not obligated to return her feelings.
