Senjogahara is back! With a unique first date, driven by Hitagi's father - I first wondered what usual fathers have to think about when listening to this xD
They pointed out Hanekawa's problem - stress - but no advance in that, we 'only' got enviable romance. Senjogahara's first trouble bringing something to words. orz

All I can say is people who've been complaining about the lack of Senjougahara in the recent episodes will probably be pleased with this episode.

superb episode!

But about representation of a starry sky, Soranomanimani was better than Bakemonogatari, though it was very emotional.
The bottom line is that I didn't want shaft to producde Bakemonogatari because of its too flanky direction.

Apart from that, awesome show!

a good episode filled with Hitagi. (So in the last episode Araragi was indeed leaving school in a hurry to meet Hitagi.)

The 2nd half of the episode totally feels like another version of Sora no Manimani. Its funny when you start thinking "now they have to do it" and Hitagi tells you right in the face shes not ready. and it was very frustrating that the kiss scene was omitted, I still had hope till the very end of the ep, but oh well....

now that the TV broadcast is over and we didnt get to see more about Hanekawa and Shinobu, its a really bit sad, but I guess it cant be helped...( hope web broadcast comes out fast)

Great episode. Good to finally see Senjougahara again, she really does steal the show. The conversation in the car had me laughing pretty hard. I wonder what exactly she whispered to him, haha.

That was a great episode! Finally some romance from the series's I have been watching this summer. Haruhi" all i got was almost a b**** slap, 07 Ghost: lots of male characters getting to close, Naruto and Bleach: Mediocre fighting, and others that didn't have much romance. So thank you Bakemonogatari for giving me a very creative (in my opinion, most original series I've scene this summer) happy romantic "ending". It was a very nice touch, kinda like Haruhi season one. But why no kissing scene? *sigh* One can only hope more Senjougahara, I mean Hitagi, during the online episodes!

I really liked this episode, especially when Hitagi expressed herself. Got to see that dere side of her on the last tv episode, which is really nice and well done. SHAFT never disappoints in my opinion. Most people don't like the whole artistic work, and think it's boring, but I fine it beautiful and very good to watch. Hopefully they'll sub the online episodes too, cause I am not done with this series yet. Why are all the good series always so short?!

The last 3 web episodes continue the Tsubasa Cat arc so I'm guessing we'll see more Hitagi around to help Koyomi resolve Hanekawa's "meddlesome cat" oddity.

This was an AMAAAAAZING episode. If they hadn't omitted the kiss (which I'm not surprised about anymore since like 95% of romance anime omit kiss scenes, even though it's still crazy annoying and stupid and suicide-inducing) this would have been the greatest single episode I've ever watched of any romance anime. Surpassing episode 20 of Kimikiss Pure Rouge.

Ah well. Still amazing. Senjougahara really did make this show. I hope we still get to see her in the last three episodes.

Senjougahara is fucking amazing and so was the episode. I was really bringing the series down in the last few eps, not cause they were bad or anything but because of the absence of Hitagi. It made me miss her more. Good shit.

First time we see Senjougahara in like 4 episodes, and she does something like this. We're gonna commend this as long as we can. If it is possible too, I would have every screen cap of that entire episode used as wallpaper to cover my room.

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

If only the entire serious was like this and the first 3 episodes.
It would have been a perfect 10 in my book.

The interaction between araragi and hitami is some of the most unique inter-character interaction I've ever seen in anime.

I really didn't like them interrupting the Tsubasa Cat arc just so the last TV episode would have some closure.

I mean, isn't it pretty stupid that in the arc named for Tsubasa Hanekawa, she is never shown and only mentioned off-handedly in the second episode of the arc?

They should have named this episode Hitagi Crab Conclusion instead of Tsubasa Cat II.

I hope for the webstream they will fully animate the episodes so no more cheap animation (like the road pavement on a continuous loop for at least a minute throughout this episode)

Fantastic episode and Senjougahara's appearance certainly makes it worth the wait.

The dialogue interactions between Senjougahara and Araragi are highly entertaining and hilarious as always, but they also made some great progress in their relationship as well. It is quite interesting to see Senjougahara's father accept Araragi along with Senjougahara admitting the things (especially the stars) she shares with Araragi in their relationship.

Hopefully the remaining three episodes will turn out to be good as well.

The sub group was a bit iffy, and made a mistake with calling Kanbaru Hitagi's 'senior', when she's obviously her junior, 'kouhai'. Nothing too big, I suppose. But still pretty amateurish. They didn't translate the leading text into the episode either, and the way things were translated didn't make the speech flow as naturally as gg do it, resulting in awkwardness at times.

That was a beautiful episode, it really was. Despite thinking that this episode was going to be filled with Hanekawa, she was only mentioned once. Still, there are three more episodes left. But, even as a tv finale, this episode really was perfect. It reminded me of the closing episode of Mayoi Snail, when Hitagi and Araragi begin their relationship. Their lunches at the start were really cute; 'I love Hitagi', with crabs, and 'I love Koyomi'. It's nice to see Hitagi so assertive, and incredibly devious. Her poking fun at Araragi was really sweet, and just so her. She even acts that way in front of her father. Found it amusing that whenever Araragi called her 'Senjougahara', Hitagi went and called her father. One part of this episode that I especially liked was when Hitagi confronted Araragi in the car about what he liked about her, he only threw out negative things. When she asked him later, he gave an honest answer, while Hitagi gave the same answer she did in the car. I'm glad that Hitagi's father accepted Araragi, even though Araragi was somewhat like a martyr throughout the conversation, saying that he didn't do anything to her, that he didn't help her, that she did it all herself. I was glad when her father said that at least he was there by her side throughout it all.

A more tragic, slightly awkward part was Hitagi bringing in that cult member who raped her. She was brutally honest about it, and it was touching when she told Araragi that she was afraid to hate him, since she'd see anyone who touched her body like that in the same vein as the attacker. It's a common trait with abuse victims, and I'm somewhat surprised that it was mentioned. Araragi did the right thing by taking her hand, a very gentle, careful motion. And so real. Her pain, and awkwardness was certainly palpable, and even for a usually blunt girl like Hitagi, it must have taken a lot of courage to say. As soon as Araragi saw the stars, the ending theme came into my head, as I'm sure it did for a lot of you. I was pleasantly surprised when Hitagi mentioned that the stars were 'Denab, Altair, and Vega', and that they were the 'triangle Summer of stars', directly taking from the ending theme's lyrics. I can associate that scene with the song now. It's amazing how it tied in at the end. I got a bit sniffy at that point, especially how Hitagi said that that place was her 'treasure', how she went their with her parents, and had nothing really to give Araragi.

I've just realized that the episode I downloaded was not from gg, It was actually from DD. *Gasp!* that totally fooled me, no wonder the opening text weren't translated.

As for the episode, it was good, tbh, I'm not really supporting any pairings in this series. I'm just watching things unfold for our main character :P

dear god that was heartwarming. when they lie there looking at the sky, I finally understand why the ending theme is about deneb, altair and vega and other stars(the whole song is not about stars btw) and then exactly at that time an piano arrangement of this song is played. can't wait for the soundtrack and piano sheets.
anyway, isn't the last ona episodes about the flash back arc and not tsubasa arc?
