THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

The new opening song is pretty good. I knew the visuals for the op were gonna be different from the anime visuals.

Seems like the first episode was focusing on Ougi and Kanbaru. Also new girl arrives early which is dope.

We got some head tilts although i was expecting more.

Ah, this was worth the wait. We get some harsh words to Kanbaru in the beginning. Poor girl. The theme song is great too. I really like the style of it. Can't wait for the CD release.

This was a really nice insight with Kanbaru imo. I like how Kanbaru quotes on her arm about being human again. That's classic. Anyways, good start so far.

So this sequel focused only on Kanbaru just like how monogatari series focused on one character on every arc.

Great start. Numachi(Akuma) used to be a basketball player like Kanbaru, but she injured her leg in a game and it still hasn't fully healed. Kind of feel bad for her, but she's still a mysterious character. Kanbaru woke up the next day without the devil's arm.. I wonder what happened to it.

Did they aired 5 episodes in once? MAL says Status: Finished Airing.

Yes, was originally supposed to air weekly starting on May 31st but they were late so they had to delay it until today when they showed all 5 but really they showed a movie as there was only one OP and one ED with just very short ad breaks in between.

Well, why the ending theme is not shown?

Anyways, good start and welcome nostalgia. Asumin's character is kinda mysterious but I wonder if she will be the antagonist...

Still have to wait for the subs for Episode 2 and above.

Because all 5 episodes were shown back to back to back to back to back like a 2 hour movie. There wasn't time for ED and OP on every episode so there was just one OP and one ED shown. So unless people do some video editing and tack on the the episode 5 ED on every episode, there won't be one except on the last episode.

They'll probably edit them for the Blurays. In fact, the OP was supposed to be the ED! Not sure if that will remain the same or if they'll swap them or if they'll have a new OP and just make the current ED the 'image song' or whathaveyou.

W-Wait Ougi is a boy?
Clearly he/she's wearing a skirt in previous arcs

"Ruga is baka.. right?"
"How did she know? That was supposed to be a secret"

"Include me too!"

They mistranslated the show.

Their dialogue. Lol. I've already read from a few places about their translation errors. 2 TLs from a different group said they fucked it up.

She got her arm back!!

Can't really say if it was a good episode. I see that there were mistranslations so I will have to re-watch it. But I will say I did enjoy it. The whole back story on Kanbaru was interesting. Can't tell if her mom loved her is not. I think she was just harsh. Karen in high school now. The devil lord was someone she knew from a long time ago. Seems like the problem was solve, but you know it can't be that easy. Dat text message. Surprise she got her arm back so quickly. Wonder what's going to happen next.

Love Kanbaru. She's cool and independent. And I love her weird relationship to Araragi..

Kanabaru's mom seems to be a crucial person to understand the goings on in the Monogatari series. I hope we find out more about her now during the course of Hana.

Suruga's mother sure seemed like one annoying bish to be honest.

Dat ass...

Ougi was a boy huh... meh... let's say neutral then...

So the "Devil Lord" is actually her former basketball rival huh.

A boob grab :o
