Can someone explain to me 2 Araragi's last lines?

"It would be great if it come into fashion"
"Senjougahara fascination"

gg has an hard-to-understand translation...
"Hayaru to ii yo na" = Its great if it could become popular
"Senjougahara tore" = Some invented word for Senjougahara's unique style, something like ... "Senjougahara MOE" (゚∀゚)


Thanks! No I get it I think - he simply meant that there should be more people like Hitagi, right?:)

No, he meant exactly what he said. Senjougaharaism.
If show keeps up I'm sure we can expect something like this :D

Great episode, I really didn't expect Mayoi to be a ghost and Araragi to be the one actually having a problem this time. :) The waltz scene was quite funny and again they know how to transit from a comedy scene to a more serious scene fluently.

As always Senjougahara is awesome, and since she's so usually mean mot of the time, when she actually smiles it's just so sweet and cute. ^^

I love this dialog filled supernatural themed show. :)

Great episode, I really didn't see the twist of Hitagi not seeing Hachikuji coming and I loved the way how Hitagi and Araragi got together at the end.

Weirdest confession I heard, and I don't know if it is because I am a female there is no way I would go out with Senjougahara. For every nice word she put out she said ten bad ones. Araragi sure attracts a lot of weird things, doesn't he? I want to know what happened when he was turned into a vampire and such.

The 5th episode was great. My favorite part was with Araragi fighting with Mayoi, and threatened to grope her, he is pretty lucky that people don't see him as he might get in trouble. Especially since I heard that just talking to young girls in Japan can be a criminal offense. The little bit of character growth and understanding between Araragi and Senjougahara makes the character that much more likable.

The conclusion to Mayoi's secret was excellent, I am very happy I didn't have any spoilers, and how it tied up a few things and Alluded to something with Tsubasa was also interesting. And the added bonus that Mayoi is still around, is a good addition as I was liking that snappy, rabid, childish character

This episode has definitely made me get that much more excited over it, might appear a bit slow to some, but everything from the characters, dialog to the changes in artwork make a very enjoyable watch.

"Senjougahara fascination"

What did he mean by that? Or how does it sounds/mean in japanese? I get that it meant something like accepting her feelings, but don't know why he used so strange words.


Two episodes ago, Senjougahara was talking about other kinds of fascinations coming into fashion. Araragi was being clever by referring back to their conversation from before.

Loved this episode. As others have said, this refreshing take on a confession early in the show, combined with the style makes this (right now) the best of the summer. Didn't think I'd say this since I really like Tokyo Magnitude, but this is turning out to be a pretty great season...almost better than spring, and definitely way better than winter.

Also, if anyone know where to get that piano instrumental that played during the Hitagi x Ararararagi conversation after Mayoi found her home, please let me know. I fell in love with that piece.

What's so funny about "Omedetou Gozaimasu"

or maybe I should ask what's it say in english?

If thats the part where she says "Congratulations" after Hitagi confesses than yeah that was really funny.

It's a piano version of Staple Stable. I hope it'll be in the OST when it comes out. If not, well, I just friggin' want Staple Stable.

"It would be great if it come into fashion"
"Senjougahara fascination"


It's referring back to episode 3 where Senjougahara asks Araragi if he's fascinated with her clothes and starts talking about using "tore" instead of "moe"

Hard to translate and I don't speak Japanese but here's a copypasta'd explanation from elsewhere:

Lower parts of 萌え (moe) is the same as 明る (akaru, bright) so Senjougahara thought 蕩れ (tore) from 見蕩れ (mitore, fascination) that has 湯 (yu, hot [water]) as a lower part is "superior" than moe. It's Japanese wordplay, and only make sense if you know Japanese.

明 (akaru, bright) can be assume the "warm" meaning and 湯 (yu, hot water) can assume the "hot" meaning, thus 湯 > 明. Since 萌え and 見蕩れ meanings are in the same kind, extracting just 蕩れ to be superior form of 萌え make sense.

Really love the twist in this episode.

The confession was totally unexpected but it was still possible within the realm of Senjougaharaism. If this keeps up, I might have to cut off a few favourites from my favourites characters list.

I personally found the theme involved in this episode nicely dramatic and very moving.
However, I still liked the overall light hearted feel of the last episode better.
It honestly sorta bugs me that this episode has better ratings than the last one.

I didn't really 'love' this episode so to speak, until the ghost part came and he felt his heartstrings tugged by the fact she's not there, and dead. The sort of mental anguish that forms when someone hears the words that someone they are currently talking to and care about "doesn't exist" or is "already dead". It's fun when they do it in anime.

I really like the art style of over exaggerating things like Araragi sweating for example. Of course the typical Senjougahara teasing was there which is always entertaining. Aslo looks like our little ghost girl is sticking around which is nice since I enjoyed her arc and character.

Also, to the above poster... Senjougaharaism ftw definitely!!!

lol i thought the same thing. i kept waiting for her to say 'just kidding' or something like that. I'm glad that things are working out well for them though :3
as for them being a couple, it wasn't really that clear to me...

i wasn't expecting Hachikuji to be a ghost! a really great twist to the story :]
