Good News: This episode really outdone itself. The anime is kinda like this: Nadeko Snake Part 2 = Horrible (animation that is), Tsubasa Cat Part 1 = Good, Tsubasa Cat Part 3 = Awesome. i can;t wait for Tsubasa Cat part 3-5. I hope someone will rip it and sub it. No, I don't hope. I DEMAND. I'd choose ep 13-15 ro be subbed rather than have a drink of water when I'm dying of thirst.

Bad News: I was waiting for the story like on Tsubasa Cat, and i was waiting for the OP: sugar sweet nightmare. ;;

Agree with Meriejoanna that was really heartwarming. I also thought it was funny though I wouldn't have minded to actually see the kiss.(not that it was needed) It was one of my favorite and finally Senjougahara (not father) was back and it didn't disappoint.

If this show had only consisted of the first two episodes and this one it would probably have deserved something close to a 10/10. Alas for all the useless stuff that spoiled the rest of it.

Had there been more male characters instead of only female protagonists (apart from Araragi), had there not been any hints of polygamous relations, sexual pervesions passed off as whims or underraged girls shown in ambiguous situations, had there been less references to useless trivia, had there not been any weird animal-girl fetish and less unnecessarily graphic violence, this show would have been truly great...

Nevertheless, this was one of the more moving episodes I have seen in a while. Senjougahara's words as to the difficulty she has to consider physical love after her traumatic experience, was both touching and sad.
If only the unlikely physical teasing and sexually heavy mutterings of Senjougahara had been absent, this episode would have been awesome.

Such a great Episode.
First this awesome (or perhaps awful from the view of Araragi) conversation and then this fucking romantic szenes.
Sweet end with the song.
Perfect!
Best Episode so far.

Best episode so far, long live Senjougahara Fascination !!!

Senjougahara's comeback really did great, i love her hair at the beginning of the episode and Hiroshi Kamiya also narrate the whole story fabulously as always.

It's a 5/5 for a great comedic yet awfully romantic episode !

"are ga denebu aretairu vega" *rest of narration*
whew, just whew, so many emotions on that one scene and the entire episode.
Best episode of any anime this year on my books.

I think "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" is largely inspired by this date alone. :3
Arghh, someone please translate the novels T_T maybe I'll study Japanese language seriously for this series alone.

Seeing as the past few episodes were a bit on the dull side (especially episode 10), this episode was definitely a nice surprise. Easily the best episode so far. I was giddy throughout the entire thing.

Best episode!! I love how they repeated their conversation in the car at the end but with more resolute sounding answers. Showing the kiss would have been nice. =3

While Tsubasa does not appear in this episode, I believe this first date will influence her story because her stress supposedly comes from Araragi. Then again, it could just be an episode to please us Hitagi fans alone. XD

Basically what I was thinking.

But, as much as I loved the happy ending and what not, I was utterly confused why they decided to air this episode now. I mean, wasn't this episode entitled Tsubasa Cat part 2? Weren't we supposed to get closure on Hanakawa, who seemed to have her stress-induced headaches at the end of the last episode? I mean, I guess that might be something they tackle in the remaining 3 extra episodes, but I just question the order somewhat. This should have been episode #15, no? *Shrugs* I guess we'll see in due time.

I'm surprised that there're so many hitagi fans.
Your best character in this show is just Senjogahara, right?
I love Nadeko though...

The order is nearly faithful to the original.
Your question will be resolved in the coming 3 episodes.

Well Senjougahara is my favorite character, can't denied that.

But this episode is just awesome, and i'm saying that not because there is only Senjougahara but almost every aspect of the episode.

And the order? i'm guessing it's like a teaser so fans wanted to watched the rest of the series online, it is the ending on TV series no?

If Senjougahara and Araragi's relationship were the cause for Hanekawa's stress, that means this episode is part of Tsubasa Cat's arc, no?

This episode is so emotional and suited to the ending of TV series.
But just a part of Tsubasa Cat's arc.

their starry night is right after Araragi met Hanekawa last episode, so its easy to guess that next ep we will probably see the cat-girl joining Araragi's first date.

and the lyrics of ed song fits the end of this ep exactly, it feels as if it was exclusively written for this episode.

Awesome ep, best episode so far in my opinon. I wasn't really a fan of Hitagi (I liked her but she wasn't my favorite character) but now I am cause of this ep, lol I'm so fickle.
This would have been perfect for the last ep but it isn't and I'm glad. 3 more eps left.

Yeah.


It had an weird approach, but it was pretty much good.

I like the fact that the romance in this series is pretty much far from generic.

Thats Deneb, Altair, and Vega
Heh i did see that coming, but i still was surprised by it.

As expected from a good series.

They only kissed. She said clearly she didn't want to do it there and then.

And yeah, i got a big smile as well. I'm still grinning right now.

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.


Im thinking 2 things now. First this ep came during the Tsubasa Cat and they have forgot everything about it. Second, I thinks this episode fits more as an ending of this serie.

But if personally just for this episode, it's absolutely the greatest. Lack of Hitagi finally repayed us. I love the conversation was first kinda harsh and like that. But in the end the same conversation became romantic. The way that Hitagi expressed was just sweet <3

Just downloaded DD sub since I can't wait for GG anymore...

I have to say this episode was absolutely amazing for a romance episode.. I've never seen Romance pulled off so well as it was during this episode.

I loved Hitagi's dad his voice is extremely familiar, but I'm having trouble placing him.

Also the character development Senjougahara went through this episode was great...

This episode was just amazing ><

10/5<<< The best ><

I can't wait for the web broadcasts to come I need more...

Guess I'll re-watch the episode when GG releases and then re-watch the series when it's completed ^.^

Worst episode yet... and looking at the poll, I'm almost alone with this opinion. D:

I always loved the dialogues but when it's not about supernatural beings but about romance, it just doesn't work for me anymore. Well, at least Tsubasa Cat will continue next week... why was this episode called Tsubasa Cat at all? They should have called it Hitagi Crap.
