Pretty good and emotional talk with Ougi, her first hypothesis almost destroys me.
Senjougahara was so cute, I love her new style.

That ending was so touching, it was the best episode for me :)

All throughout these episodes I was asking myself, "yes, very nice, but where is SHE?"

Well, the best is saved for last, and boy it didn't disappoint. I loved the explanation that the reason she didn't appear was that Koyomi didn't have any regrets about her (despite the naysayers). And seeing her laugh like that was amazing, she's finally released from the pain of her past and the Crab.

What a ride Monogatari has been. I know there's more novels and stories, but from what I can read this really is as good of a finish as any.

The ending with ougi and koyomi was nice, but I felt like it was missing something that was in the other seasons. It just sort of felt boring at some times and I didn't enjoy the long dialogue like I usually would do. I've rated every other monogatari season 10/10, but this is probably 9/10 or so.

That was a lovely ending
It tied everything up so nicely
And although the end contained a lot of cliches I felt with shaft and nisio isin sensei’s skills it was brilliantly done.
And yes this just makes me want more Monogatari in my life
On a side note lol I kno this is real unlikely but I really want to see shaft adapt more of the kubikiri cycle as well

It works well as a finale for the entire series, but it's really not. Still more novels coming out with no end really near... We'll have to see, but shaft will probably keep adapting it all.

that was reeeeaaallll good, nisio never fails to impress me with this series

felt a bit emotional at the end because it really felt like the ending, everything wrapped up nice and everyone's character arcs felt complete, it could have just ended there

but of course its continuing thankfully

That ending was so fucking beautiful. Senjougahara gained waifu points for me. The "I don't know anything, Araragi-senpai. It's you who knows." gag was the answer all along.

That was the end of the Final Season, the Off Season is next. I just can't wait for another monogatari

A good ending for a good series, as always I really love Ougi's presence on the show. The show is a recap for the whole Monogatari Series which is really great. Easily 10/10 for Monogatari Ending.

Well, for me the ending of Owarimonogatari 2nd season was more satisfying. However, it was still pretty nice addition to the franchise, although I wish they went deeper into Sodachi. Overall 8/10, on par with majority of Monogatari

What an absorbing watch, I didn't even notice how much time has passed.

Just shows how much I enjoyed more Monogatari. Loved the explanation for this phenomenon and the part with Senjougahara. Simply a beautiful conclusion overall, albeit also a bit sad. Hope there will be even more in the future.

That was awesome!! Reverse side was a treat to watch especially sodachi Hachikuji nadeko and tsubasa. Yotsugi was a good support to araragi. Hanekawa never stops impressing me, drinking lolikawa was so adorable. That ending scene with araragi and hitagi was great

Hope we get more arcs, i badly want to see adult hanekawa

this was so great. it feels sad that I think this means no more araragi as MC. the stories he was in were always top class. I hope the novelist writes a continuation for the end of the end :"D there are lots of stories that could continue from this point forward with araragi as the MC.

10/10

Great finale! The episode itself was a bit confusing but at the end all cleared. Finally Gahara-san appeared and quite a long segment and really cute! Love how Araragi took initiative in the moment. One of the main complaint for the series is that we see Hitagi on the screen very rarely. It was like for every new season: When we will see Gahara-san?!
So this is complete ending. Amazing story-stories, amazing characters! Sha-sha =/

As for the show was expecting this ending. Love the "I don't know anything, it's you who knows Araragi-senpai" line.
Would've loved to see loli shinobu tho.

So basically Araragi's mirror world was his remorse about the events that happened in the last year of High School and his difficulty to move on. All the girls that appeared was reflecting this remorse, and the only one that didn't show up in the mirror world was Gahara-san, precisely because he didn't have any remorse that envolved her.

So after a great conversation with his alter ego (Ougi) he sealed the mirror world in that "black hole". For me it was all a metaphor. He finally solved his internal demons and now can move on in life, side by side with the woman he chose. So they cross the street together.

Monogatari Ends. What a journey!

Pretty good overall. I felt Owarimonogatari S2 was a disappointment compared to the high precedent set by Monogatari S2, Kizumonogatari, and Owarimonogatari S1 but this was a turn in the right direction.

My biggest disappointment is I was expecting my wife Oikura to get more screen time but oh welll the minutes she got where more than enough.

I was really happy to see Ougi show up finally at the end of this story, her dialogue with Araragi as always is entertaining. I was also happy to see Senjougahara again right at the end, she's grown on me a lot recently.

As a whole, Zoku Owari didn't disappoint. It felt like a proper epilogue to the conclusion that Owari S2 had shown, with Araragi reflecting on all the regrets he carried over the course of the series. I'll miss some of the mirror characters, particularly Hachikuji onee-san and the cute, short-haired Oikura.

I'm sure the Off Season / Monster Season novels are going to get the adaptation treatment down the line, but I felt a little sad watching the end of Araragi's story. I've been in love with this series for a long time and I always look forward to more.

Crossdressing for fan service!

Oh Ougi be trolling us with that dream talk.

So Araragi never "entered" a Mirror World. He "pulled" the mirror into his world, like a shadow realm. Damn, now everything looks backwards...

Araragi noticed a flaw in his reflection...Self-doubt? Or something like his final resolution after graduation in order to move on?

YAY WE GET TO SEE SENJOUGAHARA AFTER SO LONG! Look at that getup! Wait...didn't she cut her hair short? What's with the twintails?

"Post-graduation enthusiasm. It was the self that I was leaving behind." CALLED IT!

"I would have been very interested to learn what the other side of me was like." It probably would have been so epic that the author skipped showing Mirror Hitagi because we would die just like Araragi seeing Mirror Kiss-shot.

"We'll be together forever."
"You shouldn't say that until we see if you got accepted or not." Darn it Hitagi. You just had to give Araragi a very scary reminder...

Was this the only time in the entire series that Senjougahara gave a genuine laugh?

Leave the past behind, and leap forward into the future...


Zokuowarimonogatari...I thought Owarimonogatari 2nd had a perfect ending, but having Zokuowarimonogatari as an epilogue made me appreciate this ending even more. It started out really chaotic with Araragi seeing his reflection not moving, and then everything goes topsy-turvy. But when you reach the final episode and learn of the cause, everything comes together and you realize "that was it all along." Throughout the series we would always focus on the people that Koyomi saved, but Owari 2nd and Zoku were his arcs where he had to solve his own issues. That is in my opinion the best way to end this long series. I'm so glad I picked this series up. It's going to be a classic.

This was nothing short of amazing. What a fantastic and beautiful way to end the series, while at the same time its a great way to say its going to continue.
What I cant grasp is that everything is supposed to happen in a single year, a year flies by so fast for me now. Just look at this season, it aired in japan half a year ago and just now I could watch it. If I add this to the 2018 list it really was by far the best year anime ever had. For me atleast.

Also that Araragi never once even thought about Senjo while "in the mirror" proves to me she is just the fake girlfriend. Shinobu all the way. Even though the ending was nice.

What I did not quite understand is why exactly was Ougi trapped in the classroom again? Also, they had memories of him, but he did not exist in this version till he came "from the other side" how and were did the differences come from? I have to see this again!

I think this also finally convinced me to read the novels, I just want to kow how scenes are written and how they are described without shafts style, because for me they are 2 sides of the same coin. I cant imagine one without the other. A pair made in heaven.
How did they even manage to fill 6 entire episodes with this simple premise? it was amazing! Araragi dealing with his regrets after graduation and after Owari 2 was just what I needed.

Style wise this is the best monogatari has ever looked. A feast for the eyes. OST is on point again.
easy 10/10

PS: Im going to miss mirrored Oikura, to think that this is what could have been really hurts. Also would have loved to see mirrored Kaiki.

I may have to watch it again, but what was Koyomi's regret regarding Tsukihi? I don't think we ever got an answer, at the end, after we finally know everything, why Tsukihi is in the mirror world unchanged.

I don't know why but I was stunned for a moment after it ended. It was so good and I could watch it over and over again. The looking back at regret theme of the movie is so refreshing to watch. The old oddities, what if scenarios and unseen side of some characters made the movie sooo interesting.

10/10 I don't really give a lot of 10's but this movie really did it for me

Well, I thought it's a movie, so I didn't contribute in any episode discussion besides this one: well, it was good, I guess. I liked the concept, seems like we got to see everyone's REAL self. Though, imagine how intelligent Araragi could actually be without his self-restraints, Ougi IS Araragi, they share their knowledge but use a different train of thought-- one that is deep inside Araragi...

This wasn't the greatest, I guess? For a Monogatari arc, the dialogue wasn't that engaging, and the visuals to accompany it weren't the most interesting. As for the plot, either I didn't understand it properly, or it's a rather lukewarm story about moving on and accepting your regrets.

Maybe a future understanding or repeated viewings will improve it in my eye, but after how phenomenal the conclusion to the last arc was, this arc was on a similar level to Neko Black.

I felt the same... it was very nice but I am disapointed by the Ougi scene.

Well that's the thing, everyone he ran into in the mirror world were things he subconsciously had regrets towards, but with Hitagi he had none, so it never came to his mind that he needed to go see her in that world. So no, that just goes to show just how much Koyomi loves Hitagi and that he never regretted anything when it came to her.
