SayakaMagica said: I'm still quite curious about that something Kaiki found inside Nadeko's closet, though. It's not going to be featured in a cliffhanger scene if it was totally unimportant... its revealed at last EP, lets just say, saying it out makes her act like a embarrassed 12 year old, well it dose embarrasses her, it was funny to watch |
| I missed Hanekawa's rack. |
 |
| People rating this low surprise me, this is the essence of Monogatari. How they get this far and still have complaints i have no idea. |
| WHAT'S IN THE FUCKING CLOSET? I loved Kaiki journal : ''Not being seen by Araragi sisters - effort and duty. Not being seen by Araragi - at all cost.'' xD So Nadeko love alcool huh? Nothing worse than a lonely person drinking alcool :P That Hanekawa appearance really surprised me. I thought that she was part of a greater sheme from Sengouhara, but it really seem like she's as lost as the others. Though, she was acting really weird, maybe she's hiding something. ''I swear it on the cat'' - I don't think he understood that one, Hanekawa :P |

| didnt even recognise hanekawa |
"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." |
| The Cliffhanger from the previous episode was not shown ... Wtf.. is inside of that closet!? Kaiki and senjougahara Talks like experts in the art of talking!! Pretty nice Drawing there kaiki!! Nadeko is pretty for being an airhead whenever she do something ridiculous enough to satisfy my laugh organs ... Hanekawa is Back!!! She is so kawaii as more than ever!!! She is still wise more than I could think about her and her incredible mind that could possible think an outcome that can a stronghold for the enemy.. considering that She is the self-studied girl "That only what she knows" maybe .. She knows better than the others.. must like second to Gaen that "knows everything" . and I praised her talent for that. "I swear to cat" -Hanekawa ..cat kingdom you hear that!? you guys got a fully devoted believer now!! Talks like a Cold-blooded animal... thats kaiki for ya!! He got caught out on that catch-phrase!! didn't think that it was that pretty handy!! Information in.. Detective Kaiki out. Good Episode as always!!! ED song again.. impressed me as much as I watched it every episode . But I will not say that on the OP song... it got some mixed categories on it .. (I can't tell if its humorous , indecent or awful ... because it got some weird Animation sense...) .. |

| Thank You Based Shaft for the Kaiki service. And it was really, really neat to see Hanekawa in casual clothing and rocking that striped haircut. From her new looks to her interactions with Kaiki it's pretty clear to see how much she changed for the better and how much more genuine she comes off as a person. She's so different, and yet still the same. I love that. ps: but srsly, what's in the fucking bo- I mean, closet? Though I might have a little idea |

| Kaiki singing kinda bothers me but at the same time enchants me |
 |
| This time I have not stood the narrative, I found too quirky and redundant dialogues. The percentage of sympathy has been reduced to a flicker, I was a little bored at the end of the episode. |

Monad said: MrPrinceSanji said: Seeing Hanekawa with her natural silver-black hair colour was a nice surprise to me as well. I never understood, why she dyed her hair all-black in the first place. After all the silver stripes always represented her acceptance of her character in its entirety with all its facets/ traits (both good and bad) to me and covering up those stripes just after regaining them seemed inherently contradictory to me in terms of symbolic meaning. Was this even canon? Maybe someone, who read the novels could help? She said her self why she had to dye her hair at the end of that episode. She did it so she can go to school. Her silver-black combination was too much for school. Well, in many ways Tsubasa's physical design (especially her hair) mirrors what's going on internally for her. And when anyone makes a big change, even when it's something they decide to do for themselves and even if they stay committed to that change, it still feels weird at first and takes time to get used to. Looking at it that way, I think you could also say that that's another reason why she initially dyed her hair. It's not really a literal or logical in-story reason, but more of a thematic/symbolic one. |
| So are we gonna find out what was in the damn closet it's eating me up. |
 |
| The investigation continues. 2/5 |
 |
| Hm...so many ideas and feelings going around. Ep 24. Plot: Kaiki receives a note telling him to pull out of the case. He doesn't. After relaying the recent developments to Senjougahara he continues his plan to get to know and deceive Nadeko. However he gets a surprising visit from none other than Hanekawa. Character: Hanekawa is back and she still has the tiger stripes. She also has worked out that Gaen is not an ally in what is to come and staged a weird but probably effective way to fool her. Whether or not it works remains to be seen. Animation/sound: Kaiki's theme continues to entertain. 3/5. Hanekawa's visit was a nice surprise but this was kinda meh. |
 I go where I wanna go, even if its into Oppai. |
| lol at that random billboard reference to Blade Runner :D This really starts to look more and more like an affair young girl is having with older man. With mentioned older man getting head over heels over intellect of younger girl. Even overall feel of this arc is like that. Though I wasn't quite a fan of dedicating half of the episode to empty threat. But it's interesting Senjougahara is already thinking of other plan if Kaiki failed. And I wonder why did Hitagi got into quarrel with Araragi as mentioned? And Hanekawa, finally! ~nyuuuu!~ Lying to Senjougahara, how precious! I'm starting to like this arc even more. Of course, there is also a possibility they are all trying to decieve Kaiki instead, decieve him with random photos and tape recordings where he is seeing those girls. Old Tsubasa wouldn't be able to fake such earnest look but the new one is capable of everything. Though I may also be wrong as Hanekawa looked pretty dumbfounded and uncertain few times during this ep. But could it be that even Nadeko is part of this trap for Kaiki? |
| Hanekawa with her striped hair... <3 |
 |
| The kitty has come home... but WHAT'S IN THE CLOSET?! |
 |
| I still don't know what was in the damn closet. -.-" |
| Goddamnit, Kaiki better tells us what's in the closet the next episode. I almost forgot about that watching this episode xD |
| Wild Hanekawa appeared. |
| Totally the best arc has real depth to it that is actually mature |
Okaerinasai Hanekawa :) Not sure if it's a plot hole or not but the the first 10,000 yen note given to Sengoku literally says "Fake Bank." If Kaiki is actually using fake money, why he worrying to himself about expenses? I do feel like this series could have been a lot better if the events between the arcs tied together: Araragi randomly met Kaiki at Mister Donut back in Tsukihi Phoenix with Kaiki explaining he was only momentarily in town for private reasons. It would have been so satisfying had the events of Pheonix tied in with this arc + would have been a convenient way of introducing Araragi who has been notably absent through this whole ordeal. Also hoping they'll make use of Gaen's wisdom; she obviously knows something everyone else doesn't, hopefully it's something spectacular like Sengoku actually being the one deceiving Kaiki by pretending to be an airhead (shouldn't the snake god still be able to talk to her like how Araragi has Shinobu?). |

| Nice Kaiki fan-service there lol Also so happy Hanekawa actually made a re-appearance before the end of the season. I love her short, striped hair- she looks so cute like that! Her interactions with Kaiki were pretty interesting and it seemed she trusted him immediately as well. Girl knows her stuff, that's for sure. She also implied that she could see through his facade, but hey, maybe that's because she finally faced the truth in her own mind. Also kind of suspicious that the person tailing Kaiki is actually Araragi. I dunno, he's not shown up at all and that's a bit odd. Even if he's not central to an arc, he's always somewhere. |

| I loved Hanekawa-Kaiki's conversation, and as many here i'm so intrigued about what's in that stupid girl closet. I bet in something creepy and stupid, like her. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE.  |

| Oh, Kaiki having a shower. Aren't you a sight for a sore eye? Hahaha. Finally, Hanekawa and Kaiki met, and Araragi and Hitagi have no idea that she's back from her trip and somehow knows that Oshino's not in overseas. Haha. Nadeko is still dumb as fuck and she'll always be. |

| Another wonderful episode! I'm curious to know what's in the closet... 5/5 |

| Nice episode, Hanekawa is back and there's still so many things to come, like for example, what was in that damn closet? Was it pewds? |

| They try to hide what's in the closet. Oh well guess they're gonna show it as something big. Nadeko drink a sake, lol, should at least poisoned it, Kaiki. Though I doubt that will work. And kilingl is not his job by the way. Hanekawa starts to stray from her virtuous attitude by deceiving Araragi and Hitagi. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| This feels like Kaiki vs the world now |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| This is like the calm before the storm... |
  Floating Around... "You're loved as deeply as the ocean reaches"  |
| And now Hanekawa is back^^ So far this arc is very interesting and also Kaiki is like another best protagonist(•-•) This is now one of my favorite anime lol. I'm still curious in what inside on Nadeko's closet:> |
 |
| Rather a more dialogue heavy episode compared to others in this arc so far. But great nonetheless. Gotta love Hitagi and Kaiki's conversations. Hanekawa is back and she has striped hair again! Great to see her but wow, we really haven't seen her since Neko Shiro huh? Also quite interested to find out what she's been up to. And like I thought, we didn't get shown what's inside of the closet this episode. Hopefully we'll find out in the remaining two episodes. |
 |
| A great ep., though I really wanted to know what Kaiki found in Nadeko's wardrobe. Hopefully, this will be revealed one of two last eps. Back to the ep., Looks like Gaen-san doesn't want him to involve himself further than what he has done (because the letter is most probably hers). I loved that strange conversation with Senjougahara and Kaiki. One can't get enough of it. Hard to get enough of tsundere personality. On a different note, I got to say Kaiki has a sexy body . I thought he had a slim body like Araragi at the beginning of the series, but I got to say I got more than expected. I also found it very funny how the sake thing worked so well. Looks like snake Kami-sama loves their sake. Also, funny to see Hanekawa with that different hairstyle . I think we have seen it before, but I am not sure. Moreover, it funny how she said, "I swear on a cat", and Kaiki was pretty confused. LOL. Only two ep. left. It's going to be very interesting how they plan to end this. |

| Fantastic episode! I first thought it was Gaen that left the letter, but after Senjoughara and Kaiki's conversation, she's most probably not the one who left it. So, now my next guess is it's Ougi that left the letter. Love Senjougahara and Kaiki's interactions, they have a chemistry just as good as Senjougahara and Araragi. Nadeko just always mentioning how excited she is to kill Araragi so casually is really unsettling lmao. And Hanekawa! How I've missed our cat, and I love the "I swear to a cat" line. Also, that whole conversation with Kaiki, I was waiting for the "I don't know everything, I only know what I know" line and boy was I happy as fuck when she said it. They're probably going to reveal the closet in the last episode, I am looking forward to that. |
 |
| Great to see Hanekawa again. I liked the "I swear to a cat" line. So the one who left that letter maybe Ougi after all. I really wanna know the secret of that damned closet |
 |
| lol I feel like Hanekawa eagerly waits for people to say "you know everything" just so she could say "I don't know everything, I just know what I know" I still don't understand why this Arc called "Hitagi end" and not "Kaiki end", it's basically all about him, it annoys me a lot for some reason. |
C'MONNN... WAHT'Z IN THA BAAAWWWXX.....!!! |

That's why the short hair also? Maybe that's the reason it annoys you |
| Still don't know what's in the goshdarn closet. |
 |
| They really ignored the whole closet cliffhanger as if it never happened, huh? Kaiki singing the OP was blursed. Does that make him a Monogatari heroine now? |
