Cool, Gaen in the finale. Really liked the smooth snowy backgrounds of this episode and cameos from other characters like Mayoi, Tsukihi, Kanbaru, etc. And of course, Senjougahara in this episode.

This episode blew my mind.

That was so unexpected, and I don't think my brain can function anymore.

I really thought we would get a trailer for Owarimonogatari Part two though. How many episodes would an anime adaptation be I wonder... At any rate this was a nice prep, It's maddening how AniplexUSA didn't bother to try to get these episodes with better quality to North America.

Let me start by saying the entire series has been great. 12 short stories that lead to either an anticlimactic typical nisio ending or a philosophical ending has been a fun ride. I dont know if this was intentional but each episode got higher and higher in quality as if they were trying to emulate the style of the time. First episodes were a bit lower quality like most bake episodes and gradually felt more like the current series. I can go on about that but id rather talk about this episode for now.

This episode as most gatari arcs have extremely well detailed foreshadowing. Anyone who wont get it know will be pleased when they do in the future. Im glad SHAFT adapted Owari part 1 and 2 before adapting Koyomimonogatari because it fit better. Now we can go into part 3 as a direct continuation.

Just on how this episode was directed alone was amazing. Having all the girls appearing in this episode to show how much they mean to him and how much he means to them was a nice visual. The chopping up Araragi scene was done stylistically idk if i could have even visualized it better myself.

As for this episode im rating it a 5/5. However on my mal ill rate Koyominogatari a 8/10. Owarimonogatari part 3 and Zokumonogatari are going to be fun indeed lets see how this story wraps up. I would love to see shaft adapt the offf seasons as specials like neko, hana, and tsuki.

I felt good when Araragi burnt Gaen for being so pretentious. She seems to be in awe that someone can not only read and predict her moves but shut her up. The mere fact that Araragi Koyomi called her up on her bullshit was so refreshing.

Ahhh YES that episode was FANTASTIC. We got a very short look at Nadeko after the whole snake god incident, but that's not the best bit. Gaen kills Araragi, so I really want to know her mmotive (we had a vague reason but I feel like it can be explained much better) but then Araragi wakes up in some weird space between life and death... with HACHIKUJI!!! So looking forward to Mayoi Hell and the continuation up to Koyomi Reverse to see what happens.

What... what the hell just happened? So Gaen kills Araragi to stop him from doing something that will cause "the other side" (no idea who it is, but I can only assume Ougi at this point) to react, after which he ends up somewhere with Hachikuji (presumably a purgatory or something?)? Did I get that right?

Either way, what an episode, and what a way to end this series of shorts. I'm even more excited now for the next part of Owari, whenever it eventually comes (probably not for a while, what with Kizu and all).

Still only a 7/10 for this overall, as some of the other episodes were just downright dull and virtually pointless.

Okay, I'm just confused now. So Gaen killed Koyomi and he's in some place with Mayoi now. He's well and alive in Hanamonogatari though? Are we supposed to know what's happening at this point or are the answers in the next Owari arc?

Well nevertheless, this was a nice series of short stories. 8/10

QUESTION: WHY DID GAEN KILLED ARARAGI? What were all the things she talked about.

Or is this supposed to be confusing to the audience and it will let us know about it better in the next adaption?

Wow, that was quite the death and flash of baby Araragi. Damn good episode.

It's really such a shame most of these episodes bored me to death in trying to convey each of their themes and overall subjectively pointless to the story. Sure, most of Nisemonogatari was pointless as hell, but it was tons of fun with all the back and forth bantering. I think I only really liked this one, the Shinobu ep, Kagenui ep (mostly because of Karen lol), and that one Nadeko episode. So 6/10 for inconsistency.

Can't wait for Owari part three and Kizu part two!

Weird that they put this in the ONA, wouldnt they have to retell this episode in the next half of Owari.

Anyway got me pumped for the next arc, got so many questions and can't wait to see more Mayoi. Didn't really feel like a good ending to Koyomimonogatari though, just confuses things tbh.

Okay...i need to calm down....calm down....
okay! first....what's up with the after credit scene ? Owari part 3 ? so Owarimonogatari adaptation is not end yet ? What is Zoku ? first time i've heard it... or Zoku and Owari part 3 is the same thing ?
Monogatari Off Season; Orokamonogatari , Wazamonogatari and Tsugimonogatari adaptation ?
Man, i'm confused. but that after credit scene or "Teaser" really got me well. i didn't expected that especially Hachikuji. I was getting excited after i saw that scene. Really really great ending. probably best episode of the series.

That's why the title is a little bit went dark. After i saw the title is Koyomi Dead, WOW! that suddenly went dark. And Araragi died, in! a! horrible! way! i will never imagine how painfull is that!!!.

obviously hope for another adaptation!!! looking foward to it XD
i'm getting excited!!!

Edit : many people said "Mayoi Hell" DAMN HELL I'M GETTING EXCITED JUST BY SEEING THE TITLE!!!

Really didn't expect this series to be a serious one, just something like a small ONA. This ending really surprised me and i really love it! Was hyped for owarimonogatari, but imo it was not that good and can say that enjoyed this ONA much more! Hachikuji is back and seems like will be some important part again, so hyped for what comes next =/
Oh, forgot to say, all ED songs are good, so is this one and it's my favourite now.

I was satisfied with these stories, All we can do now is wait for confirmation of Owarimonogatari Part 2 since "Koyomi Dead" was quite the opening act for was to come.

I think AniplexUSA decision of not having grabbed this is going to bite them on the ass to western audiences. The last two episodes are quite crucial for the relevancy on how will Mayoi Hell arc will open up. People who haven't seen this will feel like they just got slapped.

10 / 10 the entire series I wrote a review for it those who might be interested.

Wow. Mind blown. I knew he wasn't dead because in Hanamonogatari everything is fine. Also because of the first servant Shinobu had. I'm guessing it's just a matter of time for him to come back since "you can't completely kill an immortal" (or something among those lines). Waiting for more Monogatari!

As expected, Koyomi Dead is the final episode. Now I hate Gaen so much! But of course, we won't find out what happened until another arc with Mayoi Hachikuji. A great cliffhanger to end Koyomimonogatari.

Whoever was subbing this seems to have forgotten to sub a line, so anyone knows what he said before he was asking himself "What has Gaen done?!" in that little post-credit scene?

I hear
僕はガエンさんのふる飼い殺しにおって、切り刻まれたじゃなかったのか。

so I think it's something like
Gaen took on her to deny keeping a useless guy like me alive, hadn't she just minced me?

I'm not quite sure about ふる and おって though.

We all know that this obviously isn't the end...yet. Araragi comes back somehow in Hanamonogatari, with Koyomimonogatari being short stories throughout the entire series.

...That being said...Dat cliffhanger. The chronology of this series vs it's air dates is confusing the hell out of me, so much so I need to reference a chart or list of some kind just to barely make some sense of it. I haven't been this confused since The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya first aired a decade ago.

what sword that gaen holding?
Kokorowatari or Yumewatari? The sub is not explained that.

the other side is Ougi, right?
so, is it foreshadowing Ougi and Arararagi are one whole existance? if we consider the fact arararagi is too forgetful in front of Ougi too.
