God I just love this OP song.

Senjougahara can cook as well? Perfect.
Great episode again imo. All these poses:


Yay, neko spotted. I miss her from Nekomonogatari already. Damn it, this episode made me hungry.

The art was unique. I liked it. I was impressed at the shower room scene, which was erotic yet artistic and decent in a mature manner. It even reminded me of legendary OP of early James Bond series.

That cat girl reminded me of Neko from K. The interaction between her and the tiger was interesting and nicely done.
It was suggestive when Sawarineko said handshake would exhaust energy of Senjougahara, which was subtle yet effective.

Overall the script was well-written and execution was brilliant as always. It was an enjoyable episode again.

Finally, the much-talked about SHOWER SCENE !!!!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Nice fanservice, and what an interesting development at the end. True, Hanekawa does accept everything that comes her way, and does pose some questions about how she truly feels. It remind me of this quote I heard somewhere before, "If you are nice to everyone, that means no one is special."

Coming in October, the stream free Blurays! Mine is preordered already, can't wait!

Only 45 pages in this episode so 104 total, a little behind the 56 pages/episode needed for 5 episodes and 280 pages but not too bad I guess. One chapter (013) skipped as well but less skipped than in the first episode.

Chapter skipping seems to be a lot more awkward for the anime compared to how it was in the books. (I say this, but it's not really something I could see being done any better. What else were they going to do, have several weeks where they don't air episodes and have Hanekawa comment on it?).

(Looking back, it seems that they also cut out Hanekawa and Senjougahara's discussion of Hanekawa's plans for after graduation. Odd, since that was slightly important.)

Wish they could've found a way to incorporate more of the narration.

^^^ Yes, it seems even now that they've bailed on doing Hanamonogatari in the 26 episode TV run it will still be rushed.

The narration is especially missed in areas where Hanekawa even nyans and nyais her words outside of dialogue, in first person! I read it in Japanese and honestly it was a bit tough to read as practically every 'n' was 'nya'd but it made it very interesting and lets you know when she is in cat form. I suppose in the anime it is obvious from her white hair and cat ears but still... I love the anime to death but I am glad to read it in its original form first as it adds a lot to the experience.

These are the kinds of episodes I completely fail to see the point of. Badly drawn fanservice shower scenes and dress up just doesn't do it for me and I've seen these antics from this series enough times to really not feel the need for any more of it. Probably the end for me if this keeps up into next episode.

Hitagi and Tsubasa have their fun time in the shower. BDs will be interesting to say the least.

Maybe it's because it's been a while having this much Hitagi on screen but she puts out the most crazy expressions.

It seems like you already disliked the series, so it makes no sense why you would continue to watch it. To be a contrarian perhaps?

That was an intense shower scene... and I agree with Hanekawa that Senjougahara's personality became way more annoying.

Question: Did Kizumonogatari take place when Araragi was in 10th grade. Because that's what HorribleSubs is telling me here. This chronological length between Kizu and Neko White CANNOT be 2 years, can it? (Araragi being 18 during Neko Black and all)

No, Kizu starts in spring break before his 3rd and final (current) year of high school on March 26th, ends April 9. Neko Kuro is Golden Week, which is in the last days of April and first week of May. Bake is after that, Nisemonogatari went to August and Second Season is in August now. All the same year. Remember that Japanese school year starts in April, after spring break.

but how did they have 2 spring breaks in one year...remember tsubasa cat came back again in bake around the same time as the year during golden week as seen in neko kuro. there's no way the timeline is that short.

As a bonafide Senjougahara lover I cannot be objective about this episode. I absolutely loved it. From the playful servicey yet remarkably tasteful shower scene, to the meeting face to face with Black Hanekawa. All delivered with her classic sharp dialogue (yet more playfully) and a decalogue of SHAFT face tilts.

Her confession of having an Electra complex was an eyeopener too, specially when one thinks of her relationship to her dad in episode 12 of Bakemono. I thought they were pretty distant.

I want this in BD. Now!

Bakemonogatari arc Tsubasa Cat does NOT take place during spring break (March) which is Kizu, or during Golden Week (May) which is Neko Kuro; it takes place the week of the Cultural Festival which is why Hanekawa is stressed and turning into the cat again. Chapter 2, June 13th. Both Golden Week and Cultural Festival weeks are stressful for Hanekawa as class president, and then she becomes a cat and relieves stress by killing people...

The timeline HAS to be short from Kizu.

I need to listen to the discs or episodes again but I think they reused some OST from Neko Kuro to Shiro. Great songs! No need to reinvent them but I'm pretty sure I recognized some.

The event referred to is nothing to do with oddities. It is when Araragi realized that he could not keep up with the good boy performance that was expected by his parents and his grades started to slip. It was then he started becoming a delinquent.
