The only thing I got out of that episode was that Araragi is a lucky bastard. Looking forward to the next!

After last weeks awesome episode we came back to earth. Well this of course was not a bad episode.

Am I the only one who always gets bored when they go to Oshino's place?

Araragi acting inappropriately with little snail girl and cute Tsubasa. >_>

This anime is beautiful with a beautiful soundtrack. I didn't get the first letter at all. I'm sort of sad Hitagi doesn't threaten with school supplies anymore. Keeping nonsensical amounts hidden away was amazing.<3

2 episodes left of this lovely surrealism, Nya-hahahaha, and Araragi's strange perversion.

It's funny how I hate Hanekawa, but I already found Neko-Hanekawa interesting.

It was also nice to see Mayoi again.

And I'm liking Oshino more and more. The way he knocked out Hanekawa was also nice :D

This is such a great show! It's been a surprise for me too since I wasn't too into it until midway.

The subtleness paired with the great animation and strong dialogue is what really makes this show. Hitagi is my favorite character but Oshino Meme is just as high up. This arc is going great. I really like Hanekawa so I'm glad this arc is getting at least 4 eps. She was looking moe as hell when she took off her hat :D

Also, Hitagi was awesome as usual in this episode. I loved the scene where she broke the fourth wall. xD

I'm really not into that opening. Other than that, it was a great episode.

Mayoi is always so cute. Araragi is such a perv to assault her like that! xD
''Can I see your panties?'' :P

I wonder what Shinobu is up to. She seem to be a future important character. After all, she's the cause of Araragi vampirism.

I really liked the part at the bench with Hanekawa. When she started to talk about the letter people sent to that radio show, I was almost rolling on the floor xD

It look like that indiscreet cat is back. As I stated in a post before, I wonder what she was about to say before Shinobu bite her 1 year before. She was about to say that if he don't solve her curse problem in less than one year, something would happen.

The interactions between Hachikuji and Araragi (Muraragi?) were probably the best part of this episode, as they are in many episodes. XD Senjougahara's impression of Araragi was funny as well ("After all, my voice actress is excellent!"). Epic backflip from Hanekawa at the end, I'm interested to see how this is gonna go...

Edit: I also noticed the soundtrack more than usual in this episode, perhaps it's growing on me even more now. :)

That Opening...i'm sensing a love-triangle cliffhanger ending!
I liked the slight changes in the Ed, all the girls make cameos there now.

Is it just me or the art looked better this ep?
Tsubasa's outfit and Neko ears!! The moe is high in this one.

Speaking of moe, Hachikuji is back!! Lol, i was not expecting that move from Araragi,he must be really happy! He lied to Senjougahara again,but it is for a good reason.


Oshino is so badass, figuring out the situation with just a glimpse. The OST was realy great this episode too, as expected from Sony Music.

Overall, a interesting episode, my mind was really focused in the dialogue between Araragi and Tsubasa, that felt good, there's been some time since i enjoyed a dialogue like this(HxH CA Arc)

5/5

That part at the beginning with Araragi and Hachikuji was absolutely hilarious. I loved those silly expressions that Araragi made as he noticed and slowly creeped up behind her. I was laughing really hard.

Great pajamas! Hanekawa was way too sexy this time. And their conversation/ride on the bicycle was well done. Wonder what Shironeko is like.

And Yayoi had her cool grope scene too.

But I have to agree that some scenes were a bit boring (radio letter ones for example). It's not like it don't fit into this anime, quite contrary, those interactions are always goodly and it helps establish current character but I can't help to see it as necessary fluff that doesn't move story forward. So this time, Hanekawa's avoiding subject derailed this episode it in a way.

Therefore mainly beginning conversational parts of most episodes when they are dealing with random things not related with curses or relations are more boring than later story scenes.

Of course, that's not to say I'm not enjoying the series but if the pacing was a bit better it would be almost masterpiece. I know that for many uncritical people this is 10/10 show and I have to say I like it too so far but at the same time I can't help but to see all its little flaws.

Why didn't you say anything before? Ep 13.

Plot: After learning from Hachikuji that Shinobu is out and about, Araragi learns that Hanekawa's cat problem is back and that her headaches over the season was a prelude to the return. Oh and Oshino spread the process along by waking the Cat up. What has been causing Hanekawa's problems this time?

Character: And thus Hanekawa's inability to talk or deal with her problems has lead to this. Once more something bad might happen and she had chances to fix it before it built to this. In this she is like Araragi when it comes to problems such as the issue with Kanbaru.

Senjougahara makes a short appearance but it was fun seeing the anime line and the words she wanted Araragi to say. Remember that Vampire boy.

Araragi is getting a taste of his own medicine when it comes to solving problems.

Oshino provides another problem. He seems to be baiting Koyomi and already noticed that Koyomi knew what the problem was but not the true source. It seems quite obvious but despite the short time he's known the two, Oshino obviously knows more than he lets on. What his actions do next time will be great to see.

Animation/sound: Mayoi's scene was fun to watch, molestation not included.

3/5. Moving things along but kinda slowly though.

I loved the dialogue about puns in the radio show. I love all the wordplay in this show, mostly because I don't even understand their language. It adds this otherworldly mysticism to their conversations when they're discussing kanji and stuff.
