| The OP was really weird... Didn't really liked it. The episode was interresting. Not much happened, but we learned Tsubasa past, which was interresting. But the thing I'm the most curious about is what Tsubasa was about to say before Shinobu bite her. She was about to tell what happen if he doesn't solve the problem between one year. And after all, he didn't really solve the problem, Shinobu only subdue the curse, but she never seem to have removed it. I really wonder what happen after that one year, which should be at the end of the Golden Weak. The ending was funny :P |

| Finally Sejougahara next ep. Been wondering about Hanekawa's problem. Not bad. |
| dat Shinobu atk >< |
 |
| so that white cat-girl is Hanekawa... Araragi's sisters are only for the next episode's previews??? that's all..? |
 |
| I laughed so hard when Koyomi pulled up Nadeko's skirt. |
| i adore more the Araragi-Senjougahara episodes :P |
 |
| Tsubasa's arc begins!! A Secret between the two!! Tsubasa is really important to araragi !! Bonds!!.. Araragi's perverted self attacks lol!! (he shouted haha!!) Nadeko runs so fast!! She turned into a Catgirl!! its pretty kawaii... but it has an alternate personality she needs to be extra careful in with it!! ... Black hanekawa!! ("but she's white" .. had the same first expression lol!!) Stress is the reason!! (meowhaha!! -says a Meddlesome cat.) btw Meowhaha!! is the troll sub from what I seen in the episode. She still cares for her friend's problems more than herself... its good but it will became bad enough if you don't want friend to meddle with your own problems too. Good Episode!!! |

| Enjoyable episode! Shinobu was sooo cute this ep. |
I enjoyed those conversations at the beginning with Sengoku and Araragi. They were funny with their obscure references and Araragi's sudden moments of shame. |
 |
| Totally called she was going to be the last arc. It's gonna be pretty intense! |
| Boring as always. 1/5 |
 |
| I have the feeling that there is still something we don't know about Nadeko and her gaze... should I say it's unresistible? His excitement was brilliant. And dat swimsuit he was holding all the time :D I also doubt Shinobu cancelled Hanekawa's curse, she only drained her stress/powers. With cat they founded at the beginning she has it back. Though it's obvious that strucked down cat was only the metaphor of her situation. Stress again. I wonder if it has anything to do with her family again. Is she abused? Or is this stress based on the fact that Koyomi is now dating Senjougahara and she has feelings for him? Her comments on how she should behave seems to originate from her own experience (with her family). |
| Now Nadeko is my fav character, I love her. Hachikuji will be second. I wish she had what she wanted, to be his sister. I love Koyomi x Nadeko conversation and "I feel like my manhood is being measured when I'm around you" https://www.google.com/search?q=manhood+is+being+measured&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Nadeko wants to know onii-chan's measurements for sure XDDD Loved Shinobu's reaction on Nadeko and I understand her, that's exact my reaction. Well Shinobu is probably jealousy but I put it as maniac rapeface XD |

| after watching the whole thing, I think shinobu staring at them makes even more sense now. im so glad I've finally decided to watch this. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Be sure to take care of your stress. Ep 11. Plot: Hanekawa takes center stage as her Oddity, the Meddlesome Cat, is revealed. WHile the problem had been cleaned up at the moment, it was a mere bandaid for her true problems. Hanekawa's home life has accumulated too much stress over time and with meeting the Cat, she attacked her parents. Koyomi solved it that time with help from Shinobu but its a wonder if they can fix is again. Character: Despite Hanekawa being the smart and helpful classrep, here it is revealed that for all her knowledge, she does not deal with her own problems. The opening where she justified her current father hitting her was all the proof needed to see where things were going and what her problem was. She needs help but won't admit/acknowledge it. And its bad for Araragi considering his nature and that she is his friend. You cannot step over that line and help those that don't want it. Animation/sound: the music from the first ep was brought back for Hanekawa's transformation and it did bring an eerie style to it. The ed brought new animations such as Hanekawa's tail end, Oshino and Araragi supporting Shinobu (Awww), and Hanekawa's cat transformation at the very end. 4/5. It was a gut punch to watch and I can see why people would get upset/annoyed with Hanekawa. Still this is setting up to be a big one. |

 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| Can someone explain to me what is the meaning of those phrases : "Red Scene" , "Black Scene" , "White Scene" ? they keep showing them and i didn't understand what is the point . |
| I NEED MORE SENJOUGAHARA!!! TT___TT |
 |
| So Hanekawa can really transform into a cat girl and a troublesome one . *adds Hanekawa to favorite characters list* |
 |
| That was probably my least favorite opening song yet, but the rest of the episode was great! Tsubasa was pretty cute in her cat form. |
| Damn that episode was over so fast :o Looks like Hanekawa will transform soon once again because of her shitty parents :/ |
| That Cat Personality Of Hanekawa Was So Cute!!!!!!! |
 |
| Great episode as always! |
| Hanekawa trying to justify her dad hitting her was sad. So there's the sexy kitty I've seen in so many screenshots of this show... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wow, I love the OP, it's probably my favourite of the lot. I'm glad the Hanekawa arc has finally started, she's definitely the most intriguing character. |
| Hanekawa, is the most boring character I've ever seen. This arc along with the snake arc are just not that good. |

CatSoul said: Hanekawa trying to justify her dad hitting her was sad. ^This :( Hanekawa design was probably the least interesting to me, but I'm starting to see one of the reasons why she's so popular with this small glimpse of her other personality. |
| Only universe where being a nice guy equates to being a babe magnet. I do like how they're beginning to unravel Shinobu's past; so it turns out she isn't exactly "nothing" after all. Lastly, there's been a serious lack of Senjougahara for the past few episodes. One of these girls may make a move of she doesn't appear soon ;p |
  ~ |
| Omfg. I didn't know that neko is Hanekawa. And she's so beautiful. Holy shit. I loved everything about this episode. I miss Mayoi, though. I need more of her. And where on earth is Senjougahara? :/ I miss Araragi x Hitagi moments together. :3 Still not over the gorgeousness of Hanekawa when she's a cat. :p |

 |
| Damn so Hanekawa's stress caused her to bring on the Black Cat, which in turn caused her to hospitalize her parents, she then asked, or because of Shinobu, forgot what she did, was then placed with relatives as her replacement parents for a while, who she ended up absolutely hating, as well as they cause her so much stress and are so mean to her she might become the Black Cat again. Damn, that's some tough backwards ass shit that she, and probably Araragi, are going to have to deal with. |

| yawwwnnnnnnnnnnnn |
 |
on 
| 5/5 I feel that this new arc will have a greater focus on Hanazawa, and I'm also thinking that the main thing that will cause the anger of the neko will be the romance between Senjougahara and Araragi. Honestly, I did not like this new aperture, I preferred the previous one and, incidentally, what images were those of the woman's body? lol |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| I like Hanekawa's transformation into a cat. She was very weird at first, but I like her now. It seems that she have family issues. |

| I don't understand why Koyomi was wearing his middle school uniform. |
 |
| Araragi is like Kaneki with a gross mind. This time it's Hanekawa and she transform into cat. Shinobu is OP, we need more info of her power. I'm guessing in the first episode prologue that is the adult Shinobu. Deep down Hanekawa want to be with Araragi but she's too kind to steal Senjougahra's position. I guess Araragi suit well with Hanekawa, they will care each other. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Banger OP. Probably my favorite of the Bakemonogatari OPs. I dunno why, but I never get tired of Japanese people speaking like cats. It's just hilarious. A stress-based aberration, huh? Interesting. Didn't they say that vampires are the most powerful aberration, or is there something higher? I really hope we get some context between the whole Araragi vampire thing eventually because I'm still really confused what the fuck is going on there. |
| It was a nice episode and it went by pretty fast to me. A fella really does enjoy these OPs. "Sugar Sweet Nightmare" was my ringtone for a bit. Some great visuals in this one and Hanekawa and Araragi's interactions are wonderful. Again, since I'm re-watching I can appreciate the references and things that are mentioned |
| This was a good ep. Half of the ep. concerned the post-snake arc with Sengoku Nadeko. Looks like she is still half-embarrassed when Araragi-oniichan is around. But the big question is why she muttered and ran away the moment Tsubasa showed up. Anyway, the opening was something for itself. I am really glad the opening describes the arcs main characters personality. The song fits each time. This time we got an adventurous opening where the character wants to travel the world around and get a lot of traveling experience. The ep. was great too. I really loved the nyan transformation. It got to be (currently) the best transformation of an character. White Tsubasa looks so cute and dangerous at the same time, nyan >.<: Looks like once she get a headache she goes all out with the transformation. First I thought she had killed her parents (I guess they are the foster-parents), but I guess I was wrong since her foster parents are still alive. Apropos Tsubasa, I get the feeling like she is the type that has a crush on Araragi, but doesn't want to become a nuisance in Araragi & Senjougahara's relationship. So instead of standing up for herself, she rather gives tips how to how to improve the relationship. Poor girl, hopefully we will get a confirmation later on. Next ep. looks exciting. Seems like Tsubasa and Senjougahara is gonna meet, finally. |

abandoned2014 said: kkmaster1337 said: i cant put this episode into words but jaw dropping lol at sengoku's running away Wouldn't mind an explanation to Koyomi's actions between 10:10-10:50 also. I couldn't read the sign after that scene...The type was small, blurred and too light. You may need glasses. Nah, kidding. On the sign it's written: "There is a lot of problems with place you're protecting". I interpret it as a joke where this is the phrase in Araragi's mind that he want to use to see Sengoku's panties. xD My interpretation of that scene is his perv behaviour. He may want to touch Sengoku's hair and see her panties. You can clearly see it when he grab her skirt. But before he pull it up, he stop the temptation and pull back. That's why he says after that scene: "I feel like my manhood is being measured when I'm around you". Then again, this is only my interpretation of this particular scene. :) |

removed-user said: Contrary to what I though, Tsubasa Cat is not an arc that played in the past (because Hanekawa knew Oshino), so we might hope for more Senjogahara now. Araragi and Sengoku talking about Doraemon inside stuff was nice^^ Fabrice said: The way nadeko ran away....damn that was cute How she faced the traffic lights, lovely. I don't think it's been told about . I may be wrong, but I don't think this kind of information has been revealed. |

tr25a3 said: "My mother's husband's second wife is my current "mother", and her second husband is my current "father". My head is spinning. So her mother is gone, her "father" isn't her real father, so her mother remarried once. After the biological mother left, her "father" remarried and the woman he married was already married before, so it's the second marriage for all of them? Probably correct guessing. I came to the same conclusion. In other words she lives with foster parents where the father is violent type. |
| |
| Imagine turning into a cat because you had so much built up stress lol. So we get some more insight about Hanekawa's life, feel bad for her. I'm guessing there'll be more flashback scenes to when Koyomi first helped Hanekawa with this. |
