(◔ ◡ ◔) <-- me right now
At last, is what I have to say first : D
"A random lolicon", I lol'd

Senjougahara~ : D

Anyways.. Hanekawa.. in a pajamas.. outdoors? O.o

Except for the awesomeness in general of this show, there're one thing that I find quite annoying.. : /
The fact that Senjougahara mentioned her voice actress, but well, it was just once, so I'll overlook it for now : > And it was kinda funny anyway xD

In general, needs more Senjougahara

Also, on a side-note, I gotta buy them BD's : o

Didn't really like the 4th wall joke. Seems very unnecessary for this show, especially this late in the game.

I'm also concerned about how this arc will play out as an ending. 12 was such an excellent "ending" that I'm struggling a bit to come back into it.

But overall, I liked it. Waiting for the last two episodes is gonna be rough, and even after those, I'll probably want more.

Tsubasa ED visuals, awesome!

The cat arc should finish up next episode and then the last episode should deal with Shinobu and hopefully Araragi's vampire badassness. Unless they are going to bust out a sequel, OVA or movie to deal that stuff.

I didn't really mind Hitagi breaking the 4th wall(or whatever that's called). I thought it was pretty funny.

I really wonder if it was her intention to break the 4th wall or if she was just making another anime joke. I know Shaft wanted to break it by adding the fact that she's voiced by Chiwa Saito in the text screen but I wonder if Senjougahara knows that she is in an anime or is just joking with Araragi.

Ugh I took a break during the boring dialogue between Araragi and glasses girl. The ending of this episode was better for me than the whole thing, mostly cuz of the music they had when she changed into the white-haired kitty.

This whole episode makes me want to rethink the rating I gave this series

Noooooooooo it ended right after the sexy Tsubasa cat appeared! I'm sad...

Anyway the beginning of this episode was hilarious, Araragi was so damn happy too lol. The rest was really enjoyable for me as well since Hanekawa is my favorite <3, but the radio show talk was a little too long.
I can't wait for the next episode :3

As a lead-on episode, it was pretty good. Some funny moments including Araragi groping Mayoi, Senjougahara breaking the fourth wall, and a badass moment at the end when Hanekawa turns into a cat with metal music playing in the background.

I also find it funny and ironic that haters come in here having watched 13 episodes complain only to check out their profiles and have neon genesis, K-on or generic shonen such as soul eater as their favourites or gives them a score of 9 or higher, and then blame bakemonogatari for being overrated. I'm pretty sure sure that Neon genesis alone for example has more haters than the other 3 series combined.

Obviously not even near as good as the last episode that was awesome but i have a feeling this episode was setting the stage for the next two episodes that will be quite entertaining.
I think Senjougahara was smiling inside when he left on his bike saying that "Yeah" that he will say that some time.
And i love the crazy neko Hanekawa. She is awesome. By the way he looked a lot better with her hair like that but the sexiness of her cat form is beyond 9000.
Am also wondering what happened with blond little vampire girl.
Oh yeah! Stream shitty quality. Wtf were they trying to accomplish by making the last episodes stream only, is beyond me.

does that talk around seiyu joke indicates a sequel?

With all the success this show has shouldn't that be for granted?
Although the seiyu part was more for humorous reasons.

i had to watch it again :P its very good.... not as good as episode 12 but i loved the beggining with the loli con actions, id say that was about the best part of the episode... but the rest wasnt far behind except that i feel the prolong the chat about the radio in the park a bit to long.... i really dont get what is there to dislike about this show. after its finished i might upgrade it from 9 to 10 rating...

Not a bad episode, but not really good either. This was probably the weakest set up of the whole show. That's not to say that it didn't have it's good moments, but I felt like this episode needed to pack a bigger punch after being gone so long.

A lot of fourth wall breaking in this episode, a lot of great puns and a lot of good character interactions too. The cliffhanger and the preview were both awesome too. Impressive episode overall.

I tried to wait for the Blu-Ray release but I gave up. -_-

Anyway this episode has its good moments likes its bad. I liked the Mayoi part, really funny as always with those lolicon jokes. Senjougahara breaking the 4th wall was nice too and it actually made me smile, whereas usually these kind of things aren't that well done in most animes. I didn't get that radio part, probably full of in-jokes. Seeing Hanekawa with strait hairs, in pajamas and with a cap = win.

I really missed this show. Loved everything. I thought the japanese pun part was pretty funny, if not the jokes then Araragi's reactions. Is it just me or was Araragi a bit more testy towards Oshino?
