Thats the true way of Monogatari...Now it became a reflex for me after watching so much Monogatari,i pause the other videos while watching them unintentionally...And sadly its not a joke :D

I really liked the discussion about escapism vs facing your problems head on. What made it even better was kanbaru could actually relate to the opposing argument and it ended up with her backing down and gaining some valuable wisdom. The notion of problems fixing themselves over time is something that is generally frowned upon because it makes someone look either lazy or uncaring, but I'm sure most of us has had relationships that mended over time without either party doing anything until much later on.. at least I know I have.

UGHHHHH The only show I was looking forward to this summer! I'm happy to have some more Monogatari animated!

What can I say it was comforting and surprising to have to pause and rewind again to read globs of text under 3 seconds.

It's a very interesting idea about whether it's important to have good intentions or not if the final product helps the people. Can you be selfish and still be considered noble?

That sudden realization at the end.

Wish there was a site that showed all the text stills, so I can read them after the show.

Boob grab!

"Count me in"
Ur awesome Ararararagi :)

Glad they can still do it, the animation is still top notch what makes the monogatari stories the best :)

Kanbaru is actually one of my fav characters, glad we see a lot of her in this adaption!

Ah, only the perverted Araragi to respond to a text like that.

That ending was abrupt as hell. Really make me curious about what happened. All we know is that after seeing the Demon girl, she lost her arm.

Ahhh, I was glad to see the Araragi rebel hair :)

"Araragi-senpai? What? Did you just say Araragi-senpai? You mean the Araragi-senpai? The legend? The legendary Araragi-senpai?" Poor girls ... Araragi-senpai is no longer there for them... And also that "Count me in!" *ー*

Now that I think of it I don't remember why Araragi called only for Kanbaru's assistance at the beginning of 2nd season. And now her demon hand turns back to normal.

One does not simply watch monogatari series without pausing.
It took me like half the episode to get used to it again.

And here we have Ougi again, still messing with others. She/he is building itself pretty strong antagonist vibes.

Hmm, Numachi Rouka.. (yay for Asumi Kana aka Yuno from Hidamari - btw Ougi is voiced by Mizuhashi Kaori who voiced Miyako there) one person Kaiki mentioned during Koimonogatari. I wonder if she was sent there by him (well... they are kinda similiar in a way they helping others) No doubt we'll see her again as she has to be responsible for returning of Kanbaru's hand.

Time, healer... There is a reason this series is always so good. It manages to resonate with things you are dealing with from time to time, gives you answers you were seeking for long and let's you see your problems differently, easen your worries in the process.
Still, this episode was rather slow but I guess it was obvious build-up as this arc should serve as series closure and Kambaru's redemption.

And it's true that stupid people are a lot more happier about their lives than those who are nearly drowning in their thoughts.

I knew that the whole devil thing was solved too easily, and now the monkey's arm is gone, which I guess is a good thing, but we'll have to see how Kanbaru reacts next episode lol

Ok if Ougi is a boy then WTH he's wearing a girl uniform in Monogatari 2nd season? My guess he/she has spell that can trans-gender his gender at will lol.

Kaiki said that he met Numachi Rouka during the Monogatari 2nd season. A rival eh?

Sir devil is already on the move.

So this is Kanbaru's arc the opening was good, new girl looks pretty, and I honestly don't know if Ougi is a guy or a girl, anyway it was a good way to start this arc and I also kinda miss Kanbaru I haven't seen her after I finished Monogatari Series second season=P

And now it's time for the Kanbaru arc lol.

New OP is pretty good, classic Monogatari ED visuals are cool.

Rouka's pretty interesting, I bet she has something like Kanbaru's monkey arm going on with her leg.

And speaking of Kanbaru's monkey arm, it's gone! I'm gonna assume that Rouka had something to o with it when she grabbed Kanbaru's breast.

Also Ougi's a dude? As confused as I am about this, I still don't trust him.

Ah, yes. I remember being super excited when this season first came out since it was going to revolve around the coolest lesbian in the world!!!

Kanbaru looks great with short and long hair! I find her narration to be melancholic, especially at the beginning. It's a bit of a bummer, but I can relate.

Of course there's gotta be some homoeroticism in this episode lol

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

The new opening song is pretty good. I knew the visuals for the op were gonna be different from the anime visuals.

Seems like the first episode was focusing on Ougi and Kanbaru. Also new girl arrives early which is dope.

We got some head tilts although i was expecting more.



excuse me i want to ask something in the middle part of Hanamonogatari EP 1, i'm confused why would Suruga's classmate shocked when she mentioned Araragi-Senpai, the fact that she know of him and texted with him??? i'm confused....

W h a t ? Ougi is a boy!? The OP was a freaking banger though, kind of thought that Kanbaru and Rouka had a relationship or something because of the OP, well they do but it's not the relationship I am thinking lmao, they're rivals. The inner monologue flashes were extra fast though holy shit.

This is pretty interesting though, seeing things from Kanbaru's POV is great, depressing but great, though I miss energetic and erotic Kanbaru lmao. Damn, her monke arm disappeared but how?

I am sure it was Araragi that she texted about her breast being fondled by Rouka lmao.

A good start. Looks like this is after the 3rd year has graduated. So we will probably not see a lot of them. Despite that, it was an interesting ep. We are about to know more about this Ougi-person,

Anyways, we got introduced to a new character Rouka Numachi, her rival, which seems pretty interesting. She behaves in funny ways and that boob grab was enjoyable to watch.
Funny to see that she liked it.

Also, become quickly fond of her surprised face. She looks gorgeous
. Her monkey hand is gone. Interesting to see what happens next.
