| Your typical shounen type fights are mainly focused on the combat alone, giving us some flashy action. In between action sequences, characters will usually pause and begin monologues that overstay their welcome. "I'm going to FIGHT you!!!", "I'm bleeding, but I'm going to battle till the end!", "I need my inexplicable end-fight power-up, so here's my tragic but basic backstory." A fight that has weight, or actual substance behind it, are more effective in providing overall impact. Instead of characters yelling "KAHMAEHAHMAEHAAAAA!!!!", we get a clash of ideals, mostly revolving around fundamental good and evil and what it means to be so. Watched Bakemonogatari during a phase where I was feeling slightly burnt-out from watching anime, almost forcing myself for some reason. I'd probably enjoy it a lot more if I watched it now, as I have actually nearly cleared up my PTW list and can now take it more easy. I know, making this almost a chore is pretty pathetic, but mentally that's just how I am. Anyway, now that I'm taking it more casually, I really can appreciate the style of this series. It definitely isn't for everyone and is certainly rather niche. However it does have a large following, and I'm going to say that I'm going to become one of them. This series is just art; Shaft has done an impressive job at adapting the monogatari series so far, and it's supposed to only get better. It deserves an 8 or even a 9 out of 10, but just based on my own enjoyment it still just gets a 7/10- still good though, of course lol |

 Lots of wonderful cinematography, music, action choreography, brutality and emotional beats which made a season finale which had me shedding tears. Yeah, even the super fanservice focused season could do this! Beautiful stuff. From literally one second in, I was really into this episode, they told Tsukihi's story/origin in a really impactful, beautiful, understandable way. Supernatural entities are so interesting in this show! The kiss scene was actually super fun, too, good way for Araragi to work out she's truly family to him, hahaha. Fight scene was crazy, like, really fucking brutal but also really bad-ass, Araragi's great.  Teen Shinobu is hot, awesome design, she's so cool! |
 |
| As expected, it did focus on the sisters and I liked their respective arcs a lot, but I feel like they could have done it in far less episodes. Though it might have meant missing out on the toothbrush scene :( |
 |
| Even tho the fight was one sided the action was sick |
 |
| Maybe things will make more sense as i watch more seasons but right now i am still not able to grasp how araragi solves problem just by talking. the only time he shown us his true potential was in kizumonogatari. welp the morale of this season is just Fake one always tries too hard to be real that' why it finally they become more real or something like that. 8/10 |
 |
| What a fight that was. Anyways, nice episode =w= |
 |
| Im relativity new to the mono series and Im bad at going into depth into characters and I feel like nisemono is is only good if your in depth into the mono series and you can understand the meaning of characters. I would rewatch this in the future if I got more into mono im hoping that will happen but it seems so far its atleast top 10 animanga |
 |
| Damn teen Shinobu easily demolished Ononoki to the wall of oblivion while Araragi is just his usual stuff LOL Cool last episode and to Nekomonogatari: Kuro I go! |
 |
| Weakest Monogatari installment so far. Character arcs weren't that good and pacing was painfully inconsistent throughout the whole show. Kaiki as antagonist was interesting but he needed way more screen-time in my opinion. 5,5/10 -> 5/10 - Kanbaru and especially Shinobu carried hard this time. Now onto Neko~ |
