I just love how the beginning scenes started with Tsubasa with the desert frames. Oh, white tiger spotted. Nice. Shit just got real. The action was okay I guess but damn, poor Tsubasa. He's here. Arararararararagi:  Finally, yay. Great episode. I definitely enjoyed this arc :> |

 Ladies, contain your orgasms.  Dat hair. |
| What a great episode. I actually had the biggest grin on my face when araragi arrived. It was quite the entrance. I love Hanekawa's new hair, why did she have to dye it? Kabukimonogatari next week and oh man, I am really looking forward to this arc. It's going to be awesome.  |
This is the manliest shit ever jesus christ, did I suddenly turn over to an incredibly high quality battle shonen or am I still actually watching Monogatari? I love Araragi, I really do.  HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH Edit: I got ninja'd on the gif, but I'm not going to change my post. |

| Oh God my heart |

Let's Say Goodbye to Neko:shiro Welcome Kabukimonogatari :D holy shit finally this guy show up... Our HERO! just go back from nowhere! XD ARARAGI KOYOMI! nice to see him in this episode... damn he look so badass.. XDDDDDDDDD SUB NOW SUUUBB!!!! XD I REALLY WANT THE SUB NOW.. and yes of course 720p :p |
| I really, really loved this episode a lot. Hanekawa finally found the strength to embrace herself, all parts even the ugly parts. And araragi makes his appearance in epic fashion 10/10 |
| Wow.... that episode left me speechless. The adaptation of the last couple chapters in this episode was done pretty damn well in my honest opinion. 10/5 Araragi's entrance was epic as hell :D and the new BGM's i heard in this episode were pretty good especially because it fit into the scene quite well. Hanekawa confessing, getting rejected, getting pat, showing real emotions for the first time, and getting her own room was just too much for my heart to handle. ;'( |
| ARARAGI! KOYOMI FREAKING ARARAGI! Finally, the wait is over. And they did great on making an epic entrance for him. Seeing Hanekawa break down gripped my heart. Glad she could get all her feelings together though. Loved this episode and everything about it.  My excitement for this series just hit a whole nother' level. |

| I love the Tsubasa Tiger ending ... is so beautiful. I love the way Araragi reaffirms his love for Senjougahara, no doubt, these two will be together until the end... I love the fact that Hanekawa finally break free and move forward. |

 10/10 for this arc they handled everything puurfectly as expected of Shaft right? So many feels for Hanekawa man especially during the letter reading, the fight, and after confessing to Araragi. I haven't read anything past Neko:Shiro (Last book fully translated) so I'm excited to see how the rest of the arcs are. |

| This episode looked beautiful, even more so than usual. SHAFt really spent a lot of effort to make the scenes on the scaffolds as stylish as possible. |
 |
| This episode is flat out amazing and is kind of microcosm of what the Monogatari series are all about. The scene of Hanekawa travelling the world with the spanish guitar music in the background was very cinematographic. And then the battle between the Cat and the Tiger...speechless. And the appearance of the man everyone's missed in the nick of time. Just great. To top it off, Hanekawa finally confesses and Araragi rejects her (in a firm and undramatic fashion. No stupid ass blushing, fidgeting or looking away. Hanekawa deserves the truth from him) and confirms just how much he loves Gahara who is peacefully sleeping at home. Aghh, I loved this episode..... |

| ABOUT TIME! |
| Read the novel and I'd say this arc was perfectly paced and animated. They skipped some good comedy scenes but oh well. The feels for Hanekawa. God so cute. |
| So much awesome was viewed through my screen just now |
 |
| That was absolutely amazing!! Loved the Black Hanekawa vs Kako showdown. Tsubasa coming out while still in the cat body was nice since she's finally accepted her other sides, This ep had friggin huge development for her and it was done brilliantly :D Dem Feelz!! >_< But what took the cake was definitely Araragi's entrance!!!! LIKE A BOSS!! And what's with that get up? He looked BA!! Also how he was carrying the tiger like a BOSS!!! Can't wait to know what he was doing :) Loved the part when she confessed and how he rejected her patting her head (Soo cute!) Also Tsubasa's tiger striped hair was nice hehe. |

| Reading the subs and the texts simultaneously is an impossible feat, and it ruins the mood to stop to read :/ (now with those newly featured high speed texts) Great episode overall and really enjoyed the arc. Looking forward to the next one 5/5 |

| araragi!!! :D <333 and hanekawa was really cute aswell during the end(and all the time) |

| Yay it's Durarararagi =D |
 |
sdfjfksjdsklajk I'm so happy about this episode  |
| Araragi!! Was so feeling he'd finally show up!! So glad she finally confessed and got properly rejected! Just wanted to see him and Senjou together! Can't wait for the next ep! |

| Best episode to date. And I am not even a nekofag. |
| Awesome episode! |
 |
| Amazing. 5/5 |
 |
| im glad to finally see Araragi |
| Finally! A wild Araragi appears. He's looking real anime though. |
| Araragi be like, "let's come swooping in like a knight in beat up armor. With hellfire flames around me. With a demon-killing sword." Oh, this episode was wonderful. He was genuinely happy that Hanekawa felt that way about him, but he had to try to smooth things out in the least hurtful way possible. Araragi for best bro. |
| That pat on the head....the greatest of all time. |
| neko pet best pat |
 |
| This episode was amazing. Araragi's return couldn't have been more heroic than that. I hope the next arc will explain what he was up to all this time. Hanakawa crying for the first time was really touching. |
| THE BOSS IS BACK! |

| Great ending to a great arc. I've really enjoyed Nekomonogatari White and Black a lot. I had almost forgotten about Arararagi, though. Felt odd to see him again. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

| What a great episode, and Araragi had such an awesome entrance. Lol I was expecting more question about "why araragi's shirt is ripped apart"etc... on the thread. |
Izayoi’s personal philosophy is “To suppress and control both the strong and weak.” |
| I thought no one could see the tiger except hanekawa. Why was araragi able to stab it? Am I missing something |
| Well I guess we'll know soon why it was ripped^^ Does anyone knows how many episode will be the series, cause just shiro got 5 episodes and there's still kabuki, hana, otori, oni and koi if they all take five episodes it will be about three seasons worth^^ Guess they can always do some ONA like neko kuro? |
