| Not too bad of a conclusion to Karen's arc. The fight/talk between Koyomi and Karen was really nicely done. Both the talking which was sweet and the fight which was nicely animated. I honestly thought the negotiation with Kaiki would be a bit more intense, but I'm glad that it went down without a sitch. I mean he'll probably show up again later in the series, but I guess he's gone for now. Looking forward to Tsukihi's arc. Also yuri sisters lol. |
 |
| Well that was amazing•• The animation on the Araragi siblings was very well made they just destroyed that place luckily there was no people or car. So Senjougahara fell inlove with a fake con man well that's ok I guess. So now I'm wondering what did she meant by "please be gentle to me tonight" hmmmm, interesting°° And on the ending making a yuri anime now hmmmm...... Anyway good episode they did a good job animating it liked it^^ |
 |
| Araragi had to smash Senjougahara that night lol pretty nice arc. |
   |
| Really great episode and end to Karen Bee, Kaiki is a legit interesting character I hope he comes back later on, well I am sure he will. Such a pro conman that a fake would seem more real than real. Koyomi and Karen just casully wrecking the highway lmao, I did not expect them to have that kind of fight. But they're hug was so sweet though at the end, I felt that hug. Did our boy finally smash? Good on you Araragi. |

Kvakond said: I'm absolutely baffled how are you able to write down these endless paragraphs of analysis of why and how did Senjougahara have sex, without the realization of your utter stupidity and just how pathetic you are stopping you from sharing these facts with the rest of the world (or at least with this thread of similar but lesser idiots). Really? You seriously thought such an indepth analysis was necessary and gravely needed? Are you 12? Who gives two shit, this episode was about so much more. Maybe you should be watching Highschool DxD instead. Please go back to your den and keep fapping to your cartoon wives in quiet. Biggest burn Ive read in MAL forums XD |
| I need to stop watching monogatari while I'm half asleep. |
| So what was Senjougahara's request at the end? Was it "that"? As in she finally came to terms with her fear of that because of what she experienced in the past? |

rsc-pl said: It is just me? That Kaiki guy reminds me the guy form Don't Strave game, even music in his scenes was similar :D Same bro, when I first saw him I was like wtf is Maxwell doing here. |
| HUNTER X HUNTER HAS RETURNED!!!!!!! |
| Really fun, nice scene with Karen, then, second half is really engaging, Kaiki's mind games are really interesting, hahaha. They clearly had to calm down with the animation after the first half, but they kept it fun with the visuals either way, even putting some "hero of justice" kind of show in the background of the less out there shots. Music was really fun to where it alone put enough of a smile on my face to where the directing didn't have to be on the same level of the last episode for it to be fun to watch. Araragi's opinions, Senjougahara surpassing her past, all really good stuff and the talk they had after Kaiki left was so nice I almost teared up, hahaha. Ending art was also really fun, fun arc in general, even if it feels like it meandered on compared to all the others. Still, though, if the next keeps it up, I'll bring this season from a 7 to an 8, better than I remembered! Favourite preview discussion of this arc was probably the previous episode's. Love that the previews keep funny scripts but don't spoil the next episode like in Bakemonogatari's previews, I appreciate this shift a lot, good stuff. Bakemonogatari's episode previews are still probably funnier but Nise's have more variety. Can't think of other anime where I'd talk about the previews like this, haha. Overall, solid arc! |

| Just finished rewatching this arc during a binge watch. Only Nisioisin can make a placebo worthwhile! |
| that was boring arc some just last 2 episodes were good. |
| Did a little girl just completely destroy a highway(or freeway) like that? She's kinda broken, for a human. Anyways, as I suspected, the arc's main focus was on the sisters and I liked it quite much. Also, I wonder if Hitagi and Sexararagi really did it. She was afraid but it's possible she has gotten over it. |
 |
| yo that's why senjoughara didn't want araragi to meet kaiki (pretty bold of her to go extreme and make him hostage for two days) . Araragi expression were worth noticing during entire talk session and this arc resolved without any fight, well it is first time so quite shocking for me atleast. though i am pretty sure kaiki will return in future.. decent arc overall but kaiki is interesting character. |
 |
| Well this was a fun one :3 |
 |
| I want to be biased but that was a boring arc expect the last two episodes |

| This was a nice end to a decent arc for Karen Araragi. Tsukihi's arc is up next! |
 |
| Probably the worst character arc so far. Unnecessarily long, pacing was terrible, Kaiki as antagonist could have been used way better and though Kanbaru and Shinobu's episodes were highly entertaining to me, they ended up being barely relevant to Karen's character and her problems so... In retrospective, this was more of a "Senjougahara Arc - Part 2" in disguise. Karen was just a plot device for Araragi to take action, ignoring Senjougahara's initial desires of him never crossing paths with Kaiki aka the man she apparently fell in love with when her life was upside down. |
