Amazing episode, and they both act like real high school kids, rather than the sometimes overdramatized high school kids.

Small things like the dad being the one to drive them to their destination, talking about other people, etc....realistic and relatable.

And the dialog is off the charts in this entire series--reminds me of Spice & Wolf.

One of my all-time anime episode greats, could watch it repeatedly.

Just rewatched this beautiful piece of work. It remains arguably the most romantic episode of anime I have ever watched. And to think it was led by a female lead... absolutely phenomenal stuff.
Men always seem to think about their past before they die, as though he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived.

I was cringing hard with second-hand embarrassment from that car ride. I liked the character development between Araragi and Mr. Senjougahara. It was also nice to see the character development from Senjougahara because we got a look at how she is when she isn't trying to fuck with Araragi 24/7, when she is being really nice. Overall great episode, this series just gets better and better with each progressing episode.

It's weird how I only noticed ED lyrics only after this episode.

All in all, it's probably one of the best ( if not the best ) episodes I have seen ever.

With all the ecchi and harem in the previous episodes, I'm really surprised by how well it was able to shift gears and show some really beautiful and touching moments. Well done.

I've been longing to see Senjougahara for several episodes and now that she's back I wasn't disappointed. This episode might be one of the best I've ever seen in anime :)

Loved how everyone eventually turned rutally honest this episode.

Also, it says a lot knowing that it was his date with Senjougahara, Araragi was so excited to go to last episode.

Oh man ... I actually thought that it wasn't the father but just some kind of hired driver for the occasion ...
But hey apparently it's pretty normal to have your father with you on the way of your first date :D and especially if you do some echi stuff JUST in front of him /o/

What a great episode. The talk with the father was emotional and the balls breaking discussion in the car was insanely funny. All ended with the starry sky romantic time that was very enjoyable.
I really like the way Hitagi is and acts towards Araragi...she will never let him become bored with her :D

Wonderful episode, putting Araragi and Senjougahara's relationship back into the centre of the show. Much beter than previous episodes, though it seems out of place in the middle of Hanekawa's arc.

First I wanted to write here how Senjogahara is so bothersome as girlfriend to the point of being unpleasant. But then second part of this ep kicked and I realized that she is just using that as shield for her uncertainity and fear.

Those conversations in the car were just brilliant. Talk with her father was just great. Movements of her hand too. And it was kinda funny how she was annoyed when Koyomi started talking about Hanekawa. Her seducing attempt when she was trying to be more attractive than her was indeed very erotic.

Their conversation under the starry sky with mentioning of those constallations was very touching, she gave him part of herself in showing him the place. And the fade out before actual kiss was good I guess as it left everything to our imagination.

Speaking of Hanekawa, there were also some hints - I bet her parents are so strict with her that every failed test is hell for her - or she just wants to be a good girl having such good grades. I still think she loves Araragi and is dependent on him and that's why we were given this episode to show the contrast later.

Altair. Deneb. Vega. Can I share this starry night with you? Ep 12.

Plot: Araragi gets his first ever date with Senjougahara. Being Senjougahara, it's a bit of a heavy thing at first but in the end, it was wonderful. Hitagi is happy to have him in her life and they both love each other.

CHaracter: Hitagi shines here as her character is as we know her. She is a bit sadistic and might be hard to get along with but that hides an insecure girl that has been hurt in the past. Her feelings for Araragi are the genuine article, not only from him saving her as a prince as she said, but just by being him. Oh and she is definitely playful in her sadism.

Koyomi in turn, is led around a bit from her personality but he loves her as well. He loves her as she is, even if he might be scared of her.

Senjougahara's father is probably where she gets her blunt side. He's the most terrifying father ever and probably the best version we've seen.

...WHat's Koyomi's father like?

Animation/sound: It was kept quite minimal this time since most of the ep is spent in a car but the interaction is what Bakemonogatari is about and it shines here. But the end is the best part. The starry night, the ED Kimi no shiranai Monogatari, wonderfully comes in as the two kiss despite the audience not seeing it. And strangely enough, that's fine.

We don't need to see. We know.

5/5. The standout ep in terms of Senjougahara and Araragi's romance. Just wonderful.

Didn't show the kiss? That can be overlooked though because this episode was amazing as everyone else seems to suggest. Senjougahara has definitely been missed in the past couple episodes. To me I think she definitely makes this series. Araragi has his work cut out for him.

Awwww, this episode ended up being so cute (along it weird way to direct events xD)
No complains really.

Senjougahara demonstrated to be just a hurt human being that only needs love.
Now Araragi needs to control his baka-ness and pervertedness around her jajaja

Oh! And the first OP is back! Which is good! (The last one was utterly bad)

Certainly this episode is awesome, but you all commend it too much?
Try to be a little bit calmer.
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^^^^^

To me this is arguably one the greatest anime episodes of all time!

Senjougahara is a dream

She was raped, cause when she said to araragi that she had nothing more to give him but her kiss she was obviously talking about her virginity.
Thats what I think.
