Wait, so if only he can see her, then why could the other girl hear "I hate you". She responded with "Wow, i said something that made her hate me". Does that mean that she was being haunted by her too? =O.

It was explained in the episode. To some extent, Hanekawa also wanted to leave her home. However, she wasn't that affected by it because shortly after meeting, she parted ways with Hatchikuji.

Oh gosh my heart!
Hachikujii was the best that was a great arc (better than the Senjougahara one imo) I was sad aw
I'm still not sure what to feel about Senjougahara. I don't really like her but I don't dislike her either. I personally think Araragi would be better off with Hanekawa.
The waltzing scene was quite nicely done

Haha, this was a good episode. I at first didn't like Mayoi that much, but she got better and cuter with the times. Its kinda funny how she is the snail. Im glad she didn't just disappear after going to her home ^_^

Um what just happend?
Skip most of the episode.
So Hitagi now don't see her and......??? Also the little girl come back ugh this is too confusing
Now They about to get in a relationship.
The whole art looks like mirror's edge.
I really hope they stop the talking in the last three episodes.

The twist was a pretty good one, but after that it was like "Oh I got home yay" and she just disappeared and that's all... Okay, that was fast. And now she came back, because why the hell not...
The confession/relationship was pretty fast as well. It felt pretty sudden, like I was supposed to wait for this moment ever since first starting the anime and this being the big awaited happy moment... I guess it's not a bad thing though.

So I wasn't the only who thought that :) Sometimes the whole white settings with some red parts here and there really makes me think about Mirror's Edge :)

The art is amazing but I haven't really appreciated anything else. That is, until this episode. I don't know why but the dialog didn't feel over the top as in the episodes before and I can say it crossed the line from the ridiculous for the witty and enjoying. Finally one episode I like better than the first.
someone already wrote everything i wanted to say. i can just agree with that. i also liked this episode a lot more than the previous ones.

Best episode thus far. I was actually scared when I realised that Mayoi was the snail. Anyway, hope for more development between Araragi and Senjougahara. I smell jealousy from Senjougahara before in the park ;)

While it was much better explained than the first story, I still don't know how to feel about this show. The dialogue,(Which the majority of the show is made out of) while good is usually extremely random and doesn't have much to do with the problem at hand. I plan to finish it but it feels pretty meh to me so far.

Funny yet bittersweet episode. If I may say so, this arc is better than Hitagi's arc.

After putting some thought into it, it makes sense that Mayoi is the snail. Her big-ass backpack resembles a snail's shell, thus, making her shadow look like a snail.

The three best characters just talking. How can I not love this episode?

Watching Gahara fall in love made me fall in love (the first time around, but also every time I watch it). I love when this show mixes sharp wit with emotion, not to mention DAT SLOWED DOWN STAPLE STABLE. When the lighting abruptly changed to make Gahara glow... Mayoi dismissing strangers so as not to affect their lives was super cute. Hanekawa being able to see Mayoi is a nice foreshadowing of her own household problems too.

This episode really made it for the last one. I didn't saw it coming.

The ending was weirdly cute. I don't know if I really understood (like probably most part of the show), but it look like it was a love declaration.

Anyway, that guy is an expert in assaulting and harrassing sexualy twelve years old girl...

When Senjougahara meets Araragi in the urban park she makes a comment about how he was fascinated by her charming clothes. She uses the word tou 蕩 as in melt, fascinated, or captivated. And explains how in her heart it's a level above moe 萌え - crush, infatuation - because people are expecting it to carry on to the next generation. Like "maid fascination" of "cats ears fascination."
(the pun within the pun here is that maid in Japanese is meido, which can be written as 冥土 which translates to next life)
At the end he says that it would be great if it would become popular, 戦場ヶ原蕩 Senjougahara-tou. So he turned what she said back around on to her, kinda like saying Senjougahara-isim in English, but it was sweet and special because he remembered what she said and he said it like his feelings for her were a level above plain infatuation, but more 'tou' instead.

He forcefully sexually harassed a grade schooler ... wtf araragi ...
The Revelation!! A wandering pilgrimage!! ..
damn seriously ... didn't think snails could be that invisible .
So that's why she said that words.. because she don't want anybody to stay with her and its because she is a lost cow...
An MC that is kind in many ways... not my first time to met one :)
That Sudden Confession!!! "Congratulations" lol.
Empty lot (not really.)
A lost cow that found her way back home ... (almost cried..)
Mayoi snail ends..
Pretty Good Ending!!!
Nice Episode!!!
She got a promotion rank!! lol!!

So ... if you don't wanna go home you will end up lost with a loli that has a taste for human meat on your head forever. Or at least until you find someone just like you and you help eachother get back home.

Though I wasn't expecting Mayoi was the snail and Araragi was the one moving in circles.
I like the feeling you get after finishing an arc :D

Aaah, this episode was great! Best dialogues so far! (and clever ones) And the twist was also thoughtprovoking, now one has to rewatch those two previous episodes in wholly different perspective.
I like Mayoi ending but keeping her still around in the end felt like pure fanservice.

Wonder if Hanekawa could see her back then or not.
Well, she could - as I thought. That means their family relations are somehow simliar.

But well, nice developement with Senjougahara.
