Pretty good arc, but something that kinda just hit me is that, the new ost isn't as amazing as the other series...when Araragi and Shinobu pulled their swords out was the first of only two times so far the ost from Bake played in this one, and it was the most epic moment so far for me. Just came to the realization that I miss Bake's OST :( (it might even have been Nise's OST now that I think about it...)

pure awesomeness! loved that episode!

what was that "kinda confession" from Shinobu to her x-route-self about opening heart to Araragi all about? They were both crying, and the Big Blondie told something about jealousy, so the lil blondie actually have some real feeling towards Araragi right? or what does it all mean? Patting the head is enough?
i would like them to end up as a forever living couple :D blondie is way better than that psycho-freak Senjo

Ohhhh, so they weren't in their future, but in the future of another dimension :O
Still, Araragi couldn't leave a world with Hachikuji alive in ruin. Damn, Oshino, you clever bastard :P

It's funny to see that by having not met Araragi, Hachikuji have grown normaly xD
Still the same cutie :3

Lonely Shinobu was really depressing :(
Glad Araragi could bring her a blink of peace in her last instant.

Crazy and perverted loli Hachikuji is back! :D
Now Araragi can go on another adventure (and later save Hanekawa from the Tiger).

Another awesome arc, Shinobu's adventurous time travel was also a great experience for her, having met her grown up destructive self and understood her own true values.

I LOVE how not everything in this series is resolved by the epic battle of doom~! Those battles have their place, but it's a nice touch in these monogatari series. Keeps you guessing.

And older Shinobu wanting to die due to being consumed by guilt and shame was much more powerful than an epic fight would've been.

Another thing I like about the series is how characters grow and change. The Araragi of Bakemonogatari would never have turned down a chance by adult Hajikuchi to go over to her house ( did anyone catch "I live ALONE and I'm LONELY" :) )

Wish this arc could've had one more episode.

In an almost unexpected, ends the arc of Mayoi, which offers still some surprises and satisfactions not indifferent.
Narration and usable simaptica, the designs are good dialogues once again have the complexity that is the trademark of the saga Monogatari, all's well that ends well.

That moment when you realise that that pervy theory about Arargi marrying Hanekawa, with Kanbaru and Sengoku as his mistresses, while really being in love with Hachikuji is just 100% true.

It was so nice to see a grown up Hachikuji. I felt sad when he turned down her invitation to come live with her ..She was lonely and it would have been awesome for them to stay together.
I liked the extra time with Shinobu, she always makes an episode extra pleasant and fun. She and Hachikuji are the best friends Araragi can have :) and both are so lovable ..

Great arc but mixed feelings about the ending, mainly because of what i thought the arc itself was going to entail, it seemed more about Shinobu than Hachikuji.

I'm sorry. Just one mistake da*ned me forever. Just one act of jealousy. ep 10.

Plot: An adult Hachikuji appears! And she's hot! She also clears up more of the mystery with a note from Oshino who seems to know everything. And he's relying on Koyomi to save just one person to undo everything. After a heartfelt goodbye to Hachikuki, Shinobu and Koyomi meet Kiss-shot at full power and...she helps them go back. The ep ends with the world returned to as normal as can be and Hachikuji once more a ghost.

Character: Kiss-shot is a walking terrifying tearjerker. Just hearing her deranged laugh was chilling and just hearing the regret, man. Just knowing you made a mistake is bad but just seeing the result of what had happened if you chose differently, if you hadn't acted that way, at that moment, that's a mind breaker. Those tears of blood...

An interesting thing to note was Shinobu mentioning that Kiss-shot chose to try to burn just like that man and she found it degrading.

Animation: the deranged laugh and the change in color was a sight to behold. It brought the suspense to a high and readied us for something to happen.

5/5. Just a great end to a great arc.

Adult Mayoi! Greatness! But as expected, it was Mayoi's arc yet Shinobu was the main girl, such trolling. At least the ending scene was so entertaining as always.

And it was working based on parallel worlds theory, similiar to Steins;Gate and probably the best theory dealing with time travel, that's good.

"So in your world who will you end up dating in the end, Araragi?" That's probably the most important question I'm asking myself since start of all Monogatari stories. Because the fact that this was true in the world X could mean it would end up really differently in the present timeline.

All-in-all it wasn't bad arc, it had some great moments but its resolution lacked something for me and it was just ok (the same as in case of Hanekawa arc).
Of course, that's not to say this season is bad - I still enjoy it and its characters so much and its writing is literally miles beyond all the other series. But I'm still waiting for another jawdropping and mind-intriguing arc literally since I completed first Bakemonogatari (and Nekomonogatari to an extent).
I guess nothing can really beat the original then.

Now I only want my answer to the question from previous arc why Shinobu and Araragi were divided for a while and what happened during that arc for him to come up with those torn clothes to save Hanekawa. And whatever it was in Mayoi's backpack.

Guess we will learn pretty soon.

Curious as to who Shinobu is referring to as "that man" when she talks about suicide by burning. Unless I've missed something up to this point, maybe its coming up later.


Edit: Also not entire clear on the motivation, while Shinobu clearly mentioned that if Araragi didn't find her, she'd annihilate the world which came true which I guess is the jealousy reference (was she initially jealous in Bake?). But Kiss-shot almost made it seemed like she just went crazy after he died, like he kept her sane.

I'm pretty sure Oshino was telling him that he ended up with Senjougahara in the post-apocalyptic timeline, and then asking him who he fell in love with in Araragi's timeline, but I could be wrong.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I guess Araragi's selflessness was once again made a negative in this arc. Even though he "saved" Mayoi, he caused the annihilation of the world in the process, and overall made everyone less happy then they would have been if he wouldn't have messed with destiny.

Kiss-shot wanting to be pat before she died was cute.
