Great episode once again. The way Suruga just said that she's a lesbian was hilarious plus Araragi's reaction lmao. Based Suruga, she's the one who thought of Valhalla Combination. And she's also a lolicon... a lesbian lolicon... interesting, lmao. I think Suruga Monkey is definitely my favorite arc so far. Though the short Senjougahara screentime is kinda saddening.

I thoroughly enjoyed this ep. The whole BL part had me rolling. This arc is quite interesting compared to the snail arc. And also the symbolism of a running race using the staplers at around 12:00 was so clever!

Senjougahara doesn't seem too shocked at all and even gave Araragi quite a view from below I almost thought they would get run over by a train

As Araragi confronted Suruga I thought things would get messy, Araragi's reactions are still so good I'm happy they made it like that it spices things a bit

And they went to Oshino again for advice and the playful talk they have again but this time Shinobu is outside because Oshino took more donuts than Shinobu I wonder how will her personality be if she comes to life.

Araragi's face when Kanbaru said she was a lesbian and the BL talk lol. I wonder if all of those book were BL lol. The show is getting interesting slowly. So far, Kanbaru is my favourite girl.

4/5

very good episode

the conversations were very good and funny

there were some things that didn't have a continuity

example of when the houkai claims to be a lesbian but at the end of the ep she flirts with the ararararararagi (sorry I stammered)

including the highlight in the scene where he finds out she's a lesbian which is hilarious

but otherwise the episode was very funny because of the araragi's faces, and the clifhanger was cool

i hope the end of this arc ends the houkai character build with the same level

I suddenly don't feel so bad for thinking that Sugura isn't that cute.

I must be an idiot. Why am I confused that she's a lesbian and yet is so quickly willing to replace Hitagi as Araragi's girlfriend? Wouldn't that make her bisexual instead? Or is there something deeper. She's clearly mesmerized by Hitagi, and has professed her love for her... is it that she wants something that Hitagi has, or something that brings Hitagi joy? I dunno man.

Liked the opening scene a lot though. In the room of books. Cinematic as always, and great dialogue.

Really unique series, love how I can go from laughing my ass off to being really engaged in dialogue within the same minute. Bike shorts/spats debate on whether she's a sporty girl or an exhibitionist, too good.

My impression was that she didn't think someone unimpressive like Araragi was worthy of her, but, not being accepted by Senjougahara herself, she'd instead step in with Araragi.

Definitely my fav ep so far. So much learning going on for me- had to look up the seme/uke relationship. This seems to have a gay connotation, so it fits in with Karbaru's Yuri discussion. I haven't watched much Yuri but this makes me interest to check out more. Citrus is probably the most Yuri anime I've watched, and I liked it a lot. Also the Suruga rope thing was new to me. Perhaps more investigation is needed in this area as well. And while I'm on the subject- Araragi's cowlick libido indicator. Made me lol when it went out of control during the no pants discussion.

Kanbaru casually dropping the lesbian reveal - golden. Should have taken Senjougahara's statement about Kanbaru having a crush more seriously. Totally thought it was just admiration or maybe an obsession.

Now, for Suruga's case, she has a low-level demon on her arm. She wanted to be replacement for Sanjougahara? I wouldn't have turned her down and not become a replacement but become a collection.

They played so much that they decided to organize the books, but...

A good walk and a pleasant boy-to-girl conversation about shorts and underwear.

Now she discovers the monkey arm's true form.
