Angmir said: I would liketo ask people who are following this series closely. I will not watch any episode untill the whole season is ended becouse I want to watch it whole in one go, so i will rely on your opinion (I am not reading the spoilers ). Basic on your knowladge or just deducing from how much was shown in 5 episosed so far in comparison to the books - how many episodes in this season you think there will be ? 10 12 13 24 I dont have an Idea jsut why i wonted your opinion Thx It's 2 cour, so 24-26. |
| It's already been confirmed for 24-26 episodes a while back, were you living under a rock? |
 |
| 26 episodes on TV plus Hana 4-5 OVAs I thought. |
| lol thank you all for replyies ;) To think about it I read about this beeing 2 cour some time ago, jsut forgot agout that. And hey in some sense I am living under the rock in Otaku terms - couse I ma pretty much casual anime fan - I watch arround 5 per year play another 5 japaneses games, then read some hentai, so I check any news related to shows I like pretty seldom. |
| I am so upset right now, not only am I saddened but I am ANGRY about what happened 2 every1's favorite character and the best girl is this the author's idea of a sick, cruel joke? WHY DID HE TURN THE BEST GIRL INTO A FREAKIN ZEBRA!? WHAT KIND OF "CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT" IS THIS?? DROPPED for ruining my self-insert character |

DROPPED for ruining my self-insert character If Hanekawa is your favorite character then you should be more than satisfied of how this ended. She finally embraces her true self, even the bad ones, and she finally got her own room and can finally move on ahead with her life. Hanekawa is my favorite monogatari character too, and even if he didn't get the guy i'm still beyond satisfied of her new self. And hey even if u hate the zebra hair at least she died it black. I thought the new hair was pretty cool. Suprisingly zebra never crossed my mind. First thing that came into my mind was the Indian white tiger. |
| This episode was simply downright amazing. This is exactly what I was waiting for. 11/10 |

| Araragi really looked like a boss this episode. He usually doesn't come across as a badass. But when he attempts it, he pulls it off quite well. A terrific episode all around. It might be my favorite episode out of all the monogatari series thus far. |
 |
| This was quite the perfect episode! Lovely piece of visualisation with Hanekawa at the beginning. Really nice transitions in to different scenarios. Also, Araragi's entrance was badass. I enjoyed Hanekawa's story very much. Beautiful visuals. |
| I wasn't expecting such an epic episode. Loved everything about it. 11/10. Extra point for this (I know it has been posted but this is just too HNNNNNNG): |

| I will miss Black Hanekawa. But that Araragi acting all badass tho. Decent conclusion to the arc. |
Didn't look like anyone had posted the end card yet: |
| A great final arc, and oddly enough, Hanekawa I did not like at the beginning of the monogatari series, eventually becoming one of my favorite characters. Expected a more intensive fight against Hako, but the appearance of Araragi was sublime, a bit crowded but the role ... Now waiting for the next arc with a little more suspense and action and less drama. |

 |
| Yes, I would surely pat a Black Hanekawa! If she rips off my arm and I bleed to death because I am not a half vampire, at least I will die happy... |
| Awww that was such a nice way to end the arc. This sure got me to like Hanekawa a lot more than I did before, especially now that she's accepted her bad emotions. Gonna miss seeing dem cute cat eats and the constant nyaaing. And Araragi showed up like a complete mother fucking badass with his clothes all ripped up and flowing. |
 |
DAMN THIS ARC 10/10 GOD!!! Just awesome, DEM feels man Good job for Hanekawa being her true self... i got goosebumps xD badass Araragi got back from ******* I see. |
| Tch. |
| ^^^ The cat scratched "Tadaima" "i'm home", the last line of the novel, just so special... Black Hanekawa... |
| I love Hanekawa's new hairstyle, she should keep it that way! |
| Dat new hairstyle. Good episode btw. Welp, onto the next arc. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Kabuki short PV: http://www.monogatari-series.com/2ndseason/movie/kabuki_pv01.html Love how they animated the VOFAN illustration on the cover of the novel! |
| Great ending to an amazing arc imo. |
 |
| Sadly the end of the Kabuki preview does seem to indicate no new episode this weekend: ８月１７日より各局で順次放送開始 "Broadcast starting from August 17th" |

| This weekend is summary episode for NekoShiro. |
| 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. |
| Is it gonna be a special episode like Bake recap, with separate entry on MAL and all ? |
|

| Fantastic episode. Hanekawa has grown a ton since we first seen her in Bake and Araragi made his entrance with bad ass mode activated. But man dem feels when Araragi and Hanekawa were talking to each other. And that head pat!!!!!!! |
 |
| This is too much epic, amazing episode in overall and in details especially with Koyomi arrival (EPIC) that Tiger got dealt with. Hanekawa finally became able to be her true self and confessing but got rejected however she got a new hair style and it look great but she dye it, well whatever this is still epic awaiting for next episode for another epic Arc...love it |
 |
| There is an episode this week, right? ........right? |
| well it seems it will be a recap... but i dont mind i rather wait a week and watch a perfected season than watch episodes, which in animation are cut down in response to the amount of time they got to animate *cough* bakemonogatari episode 8, nadeko snake arc second part, when koyomi fight against the snake where we got mostly blank screens from the fight scenes *cough* |

| This episode was fucking a!Arraragi was so fucking awesome.Can't wait for today's episode!Great arc,this was. |
| Arararararagiiiiiii |
 |
| Ararararararararararararararararararagi-san is a total BADASS. *stares* Awesome. |
| One does not simply reject Hanekawa... |

Raigerzero said: fanks_177 said: One does not simply reject Hanekawa... This. I like both Hanekawa and Senjougahara of course, but the former is so more expressive of her love (and is childhood friend,I think?--> More so than Senjougahara at least) and I accordingly feel much, much more empathy in the love sector for Hanekawa. Like I said, I really like Senjougahara, but I can't help but wish that Hanekawa was the winner (although to me, both are very good). These five episodes, especially this one, made me view Hanekawa in WAY better light (not that it was a bad light before, but she wasn't that interesting compared to Senjougahara) and really fleshen her out as a magnificently complex character. To me now, Hanekawa is best girl. Senjougahara is great too, but not best girl to me. I love the internal monologue that Hanakawa made in this chapter. It was a very interesting thing to hear and reminds me about what makes the Monogatari series so unique and great. The appearance of Araragi was awsome as well, and although I regret a bit (but expected) that Hanekawa was rejected. Poor Hanekawa. Although a fictional character, I hope things work out for her. C'mon!Senjougahara is so much well,interesting.If Hanakawa and Araragi were together,it would've been boring.Senjougahara's just way too awesome! |
| She finally confessed! Oh my goodness. Been waiting for this since the first season. And the arc finally wrapped up. Can't wait to see which arc is next. |

| who's that badass hero that saved the day?? the one with that long sword?? that's definitely not Arararagi.. he's way too cool!! XoX Talk about abrupt change of character.. Suddenly Koyomi is in my cool dude list in just one episode.. really the monogatari series always exceeds my expectations.. definitely my 2nd fav episode after koyomi x hitagi date.. :) |
 |
| So much of dem feels!! T.T I'm wondering if maybe Kanbaru was teaching Araragi to fight or what... really curious to know what they've been up to. |
| it's like he did off-screen training probably battled magikarps. |

Would you pat a Black Hanekawa? Most cats like being petted on the head. Black Hanekawa would be no different since she's more of a cat than Hanekawa. |
