The date of this episode is back in October of Araragi's 3rd year. So this should be somewhere around Nadeko snake in the second season. Before Hanekawa left to search for Oshino.

Somebody please explain

Oikura noticed a difference in score in the math test results, from who partecipated in the math study group and who didn't, leading her to suspect who partecipated in the study group got some leaked test to exercise with, giving them an unfair advantage over others, since it's almost the same as cheating a test knowing already the answers
for that reason she set up an assembly to discuss and find who was the one to leak the test problems
in the end no solution could be found by discussion, and the time was almost over, so as a last attempt (or just to get done with it) she let it up to votes
ironically she was voted to get the blame

(ironically, cause using voting to get the decision was like saying "let's vote someone to get the blame", using votation to find a solution to a problem is not a proper way to solve it, and the math loving Oikura should have realized/known it)

the teacher in the end did cheat the test of her students cause in japan the quality of a teacher is measured on the results of her students
(which should make questionable to have the same teacher designing the tests... that was very odd)

that was only the part about Oikura, the real issue was the emotive response of araragi over the matter
1) seeing an righteous innocent getting blamed
2) seeing a supposedly righteous figure being the culprit and getting away with it while blaming the innocent

Ougi still creeps the sh*t out of me. She's like an all-knowing devil that likes to mess their victim's mind. Every time she shows up on screen I get a "KILL IT WITH FIRE" reaction, but then I realize it wouldn't work and everyone has no other option, but to submit...

Good first episode. Finally we get to learn more about the mysterious niece(or so she claims) of Oshino Meme, Oshino Ougi. It was a rather tough watch, especially as I watched it while nursing a headache, but the dialogue is still as enjoyable as ever. Can't wait for the 2nd episode

This was a great start. Bringing up Araragi's first year which wasn't touched at all during the entire series. Ougi's mysteriousness has also increased leaving us wanting to find out more about her. Dialogues are still great.

I like the way this how bring up Euler's Identity to describe Ougi, it really fits her,..

The mystery genre sticks very well for this episode(compared to all series) actually.

Moar Monogatari is always a blessing ~

Yeah, I liked the euler's identity. Also I can't believe it was the teacher that made the test with the contents of the study group. So much text though, so much I just translated it in my head and didn't bother reading because that took longer.

Also yeah, e^(i x) = cos(x) + i sin(x)

Since x = pi, we have that e^(i pi) = cos(pi) + i sin(pi) = -1 + i 0 for

cos(pi) = -1
sin(pi) = 0

So, e^(i pi) = -1, or:

e^(i pi) + 1 = 0

This is right and it was nice seeing stuff I learnt in anime.
The amazing part is that cos(pi) is -1 I guess.
Then again, its interesting to see the imaginary part pretty much delete itself with i sin pi = 0

Anywho, it was an interesting episode.
That ougi was like on his shoulders the whole episode.
Also liked how everyone was talking (the chairs) then they all lined up all neat. Good imagery.

Also the majority rules for righteousness was interesting.

I'm confused that there was 2 episodes but what I want to know is if the second part was actually the second episode or just part of the extended episode 1. It would mean we would have to wait 2 weeks until the actual next episode. The second part was a direct extension on the first, despite the fact that episode 2 is supposed to be a different arc, Sodachi Riddle which suggests it wasn't the actual second episode but idk.

Side note, will the arcs Mayoi Hell, Hitagi rendezvous and Ougi Lost (Owarimonogatari Gekan) appear in this season? Because the episode names suggest they won't. Will they just add them to Zoku Owarimonogatari instead? Idk.

Good episode(s), OP & ED. I look forward to whatever / whenever the next episode may be.


Ok so now I know that this was just 1 episode, Ougi Formula. It's an extended special for the start of the season. I look forward to episode 2 next week. Still don't know when they plan to air Owarimonogatari Gekan though. Who cares because KIZUMONOGATARI HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!!

Nah, I heard that the creator still have plans for the franchise. Also Shaft should adapt two novels more (Koyomimonogatari and Zokuowarimonogatari). Hanamonogatari is the last in chronological order.

SO GOOD as usual! I'm not a huge fan of Ougi (it's no small feat but she really creeps me out, lol) but the mystery was very interesting. I love how Monogatari can be artsy AND tell an actual compelling story. As has been mentioned before, the part where the debate is enacted with a clash of desks and mad splashes of colours was just incredible. The opening was also really good at setting the mood of mystery and weird.

all the show is very metaphorical, it talks about curses/manifestations of human uneasiness, if you manage to follow the dialogues it's interesting
missing the dialogues means missing 80% of what the show is about (remaining 20% being "pretty visuals")

Tbh, I'm not really liking Ougi. She was nice at first, but as the episode progressed, she kinda became annoying for me. (But since it's still episode one, my impression of her might change since she does seem "cool".)

Anyways, great first ep. I was bored at first (okay, I was busy doing something else tbh) but it got interesting as soon as I paid attention to the dialogue.

Sodachi reminds me of Hachikuji, appearance wise (twintails~). And her voice sounds kinda familiar so I did some research, apparently she's voiced by Marina Inoue (and I was watching a Sket Dance episode featuring Momoka a while ago LOL).

SO GOOD, what a great start. Loved the trippy visuals, crazy good animation as usual. The story is confusing as hell (at least at the start), just how I like it.

Question though, when does this take place? After Monogatari 2nd Season? Or between Tsukimonogatari and Hanamonogatari? At first I thought it might be before 2nd season because
, so I'm not sure.

I love Ougi, she's so cool and just does whatever and people just accept it.

YES!!! Another season :D Nothing beats the style of this. Too bad that not every anime of Shaft is made exactly like Monogatari series (a few shows get close but it's just not the same).

Great first episode. Ougi was totally playing with him. Everything that happened occurred because of her. Like always. But how is she benefiting from all this? I was wondering about that since she was messing around with the snake apparition incident.

I really hope we finally get to know who the fuck Oshino Ougi really is.

Oh Monogatari. How I've missed you!

Aragi is back and Ougi is creepy (She has no meaning of personal space!) Lots of info to start us out with!

As someone who has never read the LNs/Manga, I love this whole franchise and will probably need to read them after the 3 part movie finale!

Great start to the season and can't wait to see what happens!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

This arc right here is exactly why people need to read Kizu, you get a slight idea from the conversation in this episode but you can't really grasp how much he had been avoiding people. Koyomi was avoiding Hanekawa at the beginning of Kizu and it really showed how much he desired to not have a friend.

Finally we have Ougi with more screen time.
It was me or that classroom had a little too much CG? Like, chairs, table, everything that was not Ougi or Araragi it was CG. In a way was good because it gives that sense of being abnormal.
The reason for Araragi didn't want friends was a little.....too like something that only in anime and light/visual novels would work.
However i love it

This is an adaptation of the Final Season of a series novels and like the seven season of anime. Starting from the beginning (Bakemonogatari) seems like a good start.
