Not gonna lie I didn't enjoy this episode which is a first since Nisemonogatari and I'm gonna try to forget it's existence.

3 more episodes till Hitagi's end.

Oni holds a little significant matter to otori and neko shiro arc which will be told in two or three more episodes later on.

I don't know how Shaft will pull this arc for the next episodes because Shinobu's past was somehow boring and a bit dragged to me.

Well, that's it. Only the latter part of Oni is good.

I wish that Araragi's pedo tendencies didn't exist. It doesn't bother me as much as it did the very first time they made jokes out of molestation on Bake, but these scenes still make me uncomfortable as all Hell. The fact that so many fans accept it or even openly embrace it weirds me out, too. You could remove them outright and miss almost nothing from the plot, too...it's just so creepy and predatory. This series is high-quality in just about every regard, but this recurring element is something that would really be best exercised from the show.

I couldn't agree more. This is one of the reasons why I didn't like Nise and was disappointed by it, and it's the reason why I can't say that I love Araragi, and to be honest I have him in my favorites because I loved his interactions with Hitagi and he had some cool scenes here and there. It makes his love for Hitagi inconsistent and seem empty.

I can't even describe how much I hated the scenes after the ED, I just experienced a very negative and uncomfortable emotion that I never experienced before while watching Bakemonogatari and the past arcs of Monogatari second season. It made me dislike Araragi and Shinbou even more..

Like I previously said I'm gonna try forget this episode and maybe this episode existence and try to not make it hinder the otherwise perfect experience I had with this adaption.

You don't need to blame Shinbou though because he has faithfully adapted the scene from the book this time. Yes, it is very inappropriate and somehow disgusting behavior (of Araragi) but this is also part of the 'plot' that will be revealed in the arc climax.

Araragi has done plenty of pedo like actions before.I dont know why this seems so new to you.

As for the kiss,I dont know how the LN describes it but to me seemed like he tried to make her shut up,exactly what he said later.

That aside,yukaru00 how much time did Shinobu and Koyomi spent alone during the events on Kabuki?His conversation with Yotsugi seems to imply that it was more than just a couple of days.

I forgot but definitely it was more than 3 days. I'll check again to be sure.

1. Day 1: Arrived in the period of 11 years af of the alternate world-->Met the two schoolgirls-->Met Lolikawa-->Search and found Hachikuji's resident-->sleep in the park (LN, omitted from anime).

2. Day 2: Wandered around the town-->seen by some of the passer by/residents-->Araragi praising Shinobu's cuteness until she blushes (removed from anime)-->waiting for Hachikuji in the open space in front of Hachikuji's resident (supposed to looks like the park where Nobita and his friends usually play in Doraemon)-->Mr. Hachikuji approached them, rushing and worried-->Araragi found Hachikuji-->blablabla nothing changes here from the anime so-->They decided to leave and get back to present time-->Fucked up, and reached present time of alternate world-->Went to his resident-->slept.

3. Day 3: Nothing much changes here except for some conversations were removed-->Decided to leave the house-->walking and screwing around

4. Day 4: More walking around and screwing around-->...

Okay, I lost the track of time by this point. If any readers remember this part, please correct me.

And Shinobu is actually hundreds of years old even though she usually looks like an 8 year old. Hachikuji and Shinobu being ghosts and vampires and even Ononki who is a Shikigami is not really human anymore. All apparitions of one sort or another so the law may not apply...

I thought that scene was a bit different in the LN. Shinobu wanted to advertise the Kizu movie for the next 150 pages (breaking the 4th wall again) and Araragi kissed her to make her shut up (IIRC, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

But on the other hand, it's coherent of Shaft to cut that away to avoid misunderstandings.

Yeah you are right about the 4th wall breaking conversation... but it is not relevant anyway. So cutting the dragged parts were done in rightful way this time. I doubt that casual audiences will be entertained by the idea.

LN Araragi is more patient to that small talk of Shinobu. The dragged 4th wall crushing is the part where Araragi losing his patient to Shinobu's blabbering.

Or else he cannot cope with his first meeting with Ougi later. That is one hurtful mouth.

Well he wanted to explain what happened with that black thing so it is normal if he wasnt patient for once.

I always kind of blew off Koyomi perving on Hachikuji as just some humorous way he interacts with her as a strange bonding thing but considering he was considering doing things to her while shes passed out I guess he really is just a perv afterall. Its kind of a random character trait that doesnt entirely sem to fit his other traits but I gues its there to stop him from seeming overly perfect.

Would be amusing if they later ad that the reason hes like that is a result of him being a vampire previously so he is drawn to virgin girls and oddities more. I mean its better if it has some purpose or cause rather than just a common character trait added into anime shows. Anyone else think so?

Its really cute the scene with the muscles and the kiss scenes. All the embarassment going on.

To be fair, lots of his pedo tendencies are actually kind of misunderstandings (like the scene with loli Hanekawa)
Maoyi works out well for him since she's a ghost and actually older than him. He's almost doing her a favor by doing this. And it looks like he's looking for trouble with her by doing this, since he enjoys the fights and all that he has with her.

About Shinobu, he never actually showed tendencies to harass her young body, the contrary is the case actually. He even says he prefers her grown up, and that only to some extent since he knows what kind being she actually is/was.
I sort of almost forgot to think of things that way. That is probably true and they deffinately are all older than him. Only case other than that is Nadeko but he showed no interest in her so shinoubu coming in and punching him before was probably just jealousy not her actually thinking hed do anything but either case shes not that much younger than him anyway.

Although he is still a perv though just not a full on pedo or anything.

SHAFT merely followed the way the original author executed his stories before in MSSS. The publish order is just like what you have watched and experienced currently (disregard Hanamonogatari, which supposedly should be broadcast after Kabuki arc).

Finally a bit of action sakuga...
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.

Woah, woah, woah, calm down Araragi. Three season down without a kiss and now two? You motherfucking playboy xD

I realllly like the new Ononoki. She's always so clever (well, all the character seem to be incredibly clever) and when she kept talking about his muscle, it was hilarious! She stole him a kiss. His first one? Can't believe that. Anyway, that seemed to get Araragi horny, kissing Shinobu out of nowhere :P

Araragi in boxer saying that he can do whatever he want to Hachikuji... That guy would be a molester if he wouldn't had these girl by his sides xD

The bike race was so funny, Araragi was more concentrated on how to get Hachikuji arouse him than escaping the thingy x)
