| This was an awesome arc, and Araragi's entrance was well done, I was so happy when he arrived, he handled the situation like a badass, and he seems so much mature. I'm really loving this season so far, hope it stays consistent, and Hanekawa really should've kept that hairstyle -_- |

| Poor hanekawa, kind of wish her and araragi would end up together. Oh wells lol |

Gigarit said: Poor hanekawa, kind of wish her and araragi would end up together. Oh wells lol I honestly feel bad for any of them for not getting to be with him. It seems to me like some of the logic in the series is a bit twisted, especially toward Hanekawa. Like Araragi justifying choosing Senjougahara over Hanekawa by saying she's a coward for not being able to say she loved him right away, or resorting to an apparition. I mean... she's honestly gone through a harder time than anyone else in the series, and to just set that fact aside annoys me. Also is the fact that both Araragi and Itagi resorted to apparitions... just not ones that physically took over their bodies. And the first one (only one at that time) was just because she rescued a cat... not actually formed from just stress. And then Itagi claiming Tsubasa doesn't really love Araragi, when she herself said that she would love (and has loved) anyone who saves her. Some pretty backwards logic there. Of course I'm not saying I don't sympathize with, or even like Senjougahara, but to me their logic in that regard is stupid. I won't lie, when Hanekawa got rejected that hit me just as hard as her. But, screw everyone else... I'm all in favor of Kanbaru x Ararararararagi. |
| Damn. araragi is BACK ladies! Love him. |

| dem feels. lack of Hitagi but still epic nonetheless. Koyomi finally appeared. like a boss. hpulley said: Love how they animated the VOFAN illustration on the cover of the novel! agree with you there, this guy is one of my favorite illustrators, lovely PV indeed <3 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Absolutely BRILLIANT episode and overall very satisfying end to the Neko arc. This was definitely my favorite Neko arc in all the Monogatari anime and it makes me wonder why exactly Araragi chose Hitagi over Tsubasa. Either way, 10/10 for this arc I find no flaws whatsoever. |
| About fuckin' time that Araragi appeared. And in a badass way too. |
 |
| For those disappointed that they didn't include the whole letter, you will be able to hear it at the end of November with the release of Neko Shiro volume 2: http://www.monogatari-series.com/2ndseason/package/index.html Included in Neko Shiro volume 2 is the complete audio of Hanekawa Tsubasa's letter to Black Hanekawa: 特典音声（翼の手紙完全版） |
| WHAT WHAT WHAT When it comes out they better torrent this... |
mugimugi said: Holy crap, wow. Based SHAFT BD releases. Grouchio said: WHAT WHAT WHAT When it comes out they better torrent this... WAIT WHAT?! BD? GOD give me THE LINK PLEASE!! I DONT CARE ABOUT THE SIZE SERIOUSLY! XD |
| Comes out November 27th so you'll have to wait unless |
| ...Or adds missing parts of Oshino's letters too. |
| ^^^ Given that both Neko Shiro volumes have some bonus audio I would not be surprised at all to see, when the bonuses are announced, bonus audio for the Kabuki episodes as well. But mentioning what they might actually contain could be a spoiler for episode 5... |
| Awesome! Such a touching and badass episode, plus a wild super-cool Ararararagi appeared! I can't get enough of that new black & white hair! >.<' |
 |
| At last! Atogatari is here! |
| Egads, it's already 5AM, but I just couldn't stop watching -- and now I still want to watch more. Why?! Why do you do this to me Monogatari?! Why are you so good?! |

| Wow... just wow. Now that I'm filled with enough fuzzy feelings to carbonate the worlds oceans ten times over... I'm going to ride out this feeling for a bit. Thank you show for being truly spectacular. 5/5 and probably would even feel a tenth of what I'm feeling right now if it weren't for the past two seasons and prequel for developing all the characters. |
 |
| What an awesome episode! Araragi is back! and I just want to say I love the damn ED! |

| He's here! Koyomi is finally here! And well she got rejected by him which was kind asad but obvious :p still pretty nice to they gave this scene! Pretty lovely episode in general, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| I can say without a doubt that this is the best episode in the entire series. Most shows can't even dream of capturing the level of Character Development and Emotion that culminated here. A True Masterpiece. |
| Was pretty badass of Araragi to show up like that, take his sword and then reject a girl. But I guess I'm the only one that didn't really feel any emotion from it, I've seen better rejection scenes before :| A redeeming episode, but honestly I enjoyed Kuro more than this arc, i was bored of all the Hitagi/Tsubasa convos that seemed to be the focal point of some of the episodes. Oh well, on to the next arc! |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Hanekawa has one huge rack. I like her. |
 |
| That ending was beautiful. .....But what was Koyomi doing this whole time?? Was he training to become a hunter or something?? And how the fuck did he find a demon blade? |
| ... |
| Rarararagi finally showed up, just in time to pat Hanekawa. And I loved every second of it :) |
| Man...this arc was really really good. I always thought that tsubasa was a little too plain jane but it really pays off after this arc and everything comes full circle. The suspense of her writing that journal and lingering on araragis bed made me worry that she was going to have a tragic end without getting to say goodbye or telling kiyomi how she felt. It made me tear up too when she confessed and asked him to be serious about marrying her. :( She went from my least favorite character to now being the one I think should end up with kiyomi. I dont like senjou that much when I think about how she doesnt really deserve kiyomi...in my opinion she adds the least to his life and needs him more than he needs her. I found her character to be charming at first but after awhile that pretentious know it all type gets stale and a bit annoying. In my perfect world kiyomi x kanbaru or kiyomi x tsubasa |
| hanekawa x araragi unless hitagi gets more screen time, unlike s2 and 3,, return of araragi was epic. he looked so much like oshino |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| there was a time i didnt like hanekawa....then Character developement happened after bakemonogatari...im not used to change my opinion about a character,thats how every anime should be... |
 |
| Holy shit, that episode was so cool. But now I have so many question xD How did Araragi appeared in time? (someone informed him? etc.) Why was his clothes all ripped? Look like he had a tough time. What was he doing with Kanbaru? Was he there when the old school ruin burned down? Why Shinobu stated before that she was separated from him? Does that mean that he doesn't have his vampire power? Or that he didn't have them when Hanekawa saw Shinobu? And the most important question of all... Did Mayoi ever got her backpack back?!? xD Araragi was just too badass. I had difficulty to believe that our crazily perverted freshman was that guy with the big sword on his shoulder. It was a really great episode. What a sad fate that creating monsters because you suppress your bad emotion... It's true that when I think about it now, we never really saw Hanekawa break down or get really angry before the ending of that episode. We could say that we once saw her cry at the end of Bakemonogatari, but it was an internal scene, so I don't count it in. That letter was pretty touching. It's the first time she was begging for help. And at my surprise, the neko responded to her claim. I don't really like that new haircut, but she dye them, so all is good :P To the next arc! |

| Araragi coming back >just< in time :D That's some aaawesome character development! What a great arc ~ |
| Great ep. 'Do you love her more than me?' lol. R.I.P. Black Hanekawa, was hot :( |
| Beautiful ep. Seems like this show always has a deep lesson of some sort. Hanekawa learned to accept her flaws and love herself as a whole knowing that she doesn't have to be perfect and it's only human to be this way. When I heard Araragi's voice I was so excited. I almost couldn't believe it. It really did feel like he hasn't been seen for a 100 years. Hanekawa and Araragi were honest with each other about their feelings and she had a good cry, but I don't think it's all that sad, as she probably knew what he was going to say, but she just really needed to get it out of her system and has grown because of it. |

| You called koyomi badass!? the guy who is good for nothing at fights!? also the guy who is just getting beaten to pulp every time he fights!? I wouldn't call that "badass" or something . Badass is for the term that defines "Good Fighting"!! BUT... I like his determination and will to protect someone he loves whenever he choose to fight ... He needs some training. =----BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS ... "JUST UP UNTIL NOW"... HE BECAME A BADASS!!!----= Black Hanekawa is the incarnation of "Stress" while Kako is the incarnation of "Envy" .. Hmm..Hanekawa has many incarnation of Negative emotions... Maybe she got more with it. I can't wait to see Hanekawa to brought down a gang White Felids!! Hanekawa Narrating herself and her back-story was amazing!! Black Hanekawa Meow~ so kawaii!! Final Battle Begins!!! Starts with a long conversation as always... You've Truly Impressed me black hanekawa.. your desires and wishes may will come true. (Same with Hanekawa too!!) HOLY SHIT... KOYOMI COMES WITH A BANG!!! I didn't think he has the same seiyuu with Yato (from Noragami!!) Damn.. he became so badass as Yato... Climax Reached and Completed. That Black-and-white stripes Hair!! That Confession.... Somehow It hurts to me too.... (Experience!? maybe or maybe not.) Rejections... Damn.. This my most hated scene in my life... I don't know how but ... I Don't wanna see a girl crying in sadness ...) I cried when She cried that so much.... Dem Feels.. She Really Befits the girl who "Only know what she Knows" :D Tsubasa Tiger Ends!!!... Great ending!!! but... I really don't like the "rejection" part... (maybe because I really like her to be with Koyomi for the rest of her life!!?...or maybe not because one will be hurt so much .. Whether its the current girl or Second girl and so on... But I must say that... I really liked her so much for this whole entire series... Damn... Feels overflow..) Great Episode!!! also not the "rejection" part... Best arc for me so far :) Note : I love the Opening song and Ending Song of the arc ... It makes me feel comforting again... and its pleasing to my ears too!!! |

| Bid a farewell to Black Hanekawa. I wonder if she will ever make another appearance? Like inside Hanekawa's head maybe? |

| I'm gonna be honest. I've always more or less enjoyed what the Monogatari series have to offer. But, as innovative and clever as it may be, I always felt like was that little something that was missing, something that would make me trully fall in love with the franchise. And since Bake's incredible 12th episode, I've been waiting for any of its successors to reach the same heights of greatness. That's exactly what Monogatari S2 did today. And boy, how masterfully so. I've liked Hanekawa since the days of Bake, even though at the time she was, like pretty much all the other girls, existing in Senjougahara's gigantic shadow. So, needless to say I've been thouroughly enjoying this arc up until today, with the deeper diving into Hanekawa's psyche and upon slowly discovering how broken she actually was, and how the hints of her being this "pure, white, and clear as crystal" person had been there all along. But this episode's resolution really brought Tsubasa Tiger to a whole new level. I have no words to formulate how utterly rewarding and satisfying it felt to see Hanekawa finally taking the matter into her own hands, being honest with herself and true to her feelings, refusing to cut off the darker sides of her and determined to embrace them all. Neither running away nor averting her gaze anymore: we witnessed Tsubasa Hanekawa becoming a true human being and finally setting herself free, by ironically accepting the burden of feeling everything, the good and the bad. So when she broke down after being rejected for the first time in her life, I cried too. And of course Arararararagi-kun coming to the rescue was just the cherry on top of the already perfect cake (it's only when he's back that that I realize how much I actually missed him). |

| Damn ... that eps makes me cry T_T |
| Is put an end to the events of Hanekawa and disputes with his two sisters, Neko and Tora. Episode that sees the return of Araragi, not that we needed it, but see him from time to time to make sure it is healthy to remember how necessary it is to forget his presence, LOL! Drawings and animations good, complex dialogues, but not so obscure as to be incomprehensible. |
