Just 2 things:
1 - Messing with time is usually not a good idea because the smallest thing can lead to a huge catastrophe.
2 - Durararagi is a huge lolicon. It was clear before, but this episode proved it to be a fact :)

Ahhh, that episode was so great. I wonder how they'll explain that by saving a little girl life, the world will be at the edga of apocalypse :)
But I'm glad like that, I would be mad if my favorite loli was gone :O

So we got to see little Araragi and little Hanekawa. She also totally owned them xD
Araragi is such a creepy pervert. That's why I love him :D

When he lifted Mayoi skirt, I really thought that we would learn that he was the cause of her death xD

But now she have been able to meet her mom. What happened after? What if contrarelyto what Shinobu said, Mayoi hadn't died after that?

SPOILER ---THAT TIMELINE IS AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION ... MEANING THE PAST DOES CONNECTS TO THE PRESENT TIME BUT...ONCE YOU HAVE CHANGED JUST A THING ON THE PAST... IT WILL CONNECT YOU TO ANOTHER FUTURE WHERE IT WILL REALLY CONNECT/CONTRADICT ON THE SAID PAST.--- ...

New OP is cute enough!!
So the mission is to save Hachikuji before she will die tomorrow!? lol!! wtf is that!? .. Well.. that's the reason all I can think too ... but its world wide destruction at the future!!
so its not the case , its not just for hachikuji but also the other people too... Shinobu said something like "you can't obviously. That would change many fates of many persons" (and probably you won't met senjougahara because her problem is solved. and also you met her because of the problem right!?) Isn't that you're changing a girl's fate by changing it !? I think they're thinking that .. "its not about the quantity.. its about the quality" or something and also they're in favor of bringing the dead to life ... (I don't really give a damn..Its not my life anyway.)
Koyomi.. you have nice reason to stop hachikuji from dying ehh...
I had the same reaction on LOLI hanekawa... SHE IS SO KAWAII!!! DAMN IT I AM HAPPY!!
I felt like I am in heaven... LOLI!!! ....
he really acted like a loli pervert lol!!
Restraint!! ... I feel for you bro.. *Restraints*.. cries blood.. (I need to restraint myself also!!)
OH GOD... student shinobu.... DAMN KAWAII!!.. SHE LOOKS LIKE HANEKAWA WITH A BLONDE HAIR!! DAMN I AM SO HAPPY THAT IN A MOMENT I BELIEVED I CAN FLY!!!
Now... it was said she is destined to die... and after ruining "destiny"... Destiny changes everything from now up to the future!!
Force of history!? then earlier... Force of destiny!!? so many Forces lol!! (that's many forces has been stopped anyway..)
He did his best to play dumb... noble enough.
Mission complete!!
so another shinobu came too on that alternate era!? hmmm... so the only possible reason why that future is gone waste land mode is... Something bad happened after the events of hachikuji's saving!? like "Shinobu met koyomi but in another way that he didn't became a vampire.. ... They become friends... then blah blah... They become very deep relationship like being best friends.... then again some times later... Koyomi die of some incidents... then now , Shinobu just got mad like shit.. then she plans to destroy the world for what happen on koyomi.." or something like that !? well.. its my own theory anyway..
That Ending lol!!
Good Episode!!!

ANOTHER SPOILER -DOWN- (this one is too long but its has connections on the story.)
Well.. It really will affects future greatly if something important was change in the past.(well.. if you're gonna examine it carefully .. That something important is just a minor event [as in.. it will not affect anything ..{because little just care for her death so it will not affect all the people on the world just for her death} ...on the current timeline if one girl died..well.. now its not the case ,so the future world changed drastically because the girl was saved.. who in the current present, the girl mayoi supposedly died .. so thinking that... One girl can affect Time itself if you changed just a low leveled event on the past!!.... Time is really unpredictable!!] but it became big enough to completely alternate the current future greatly...well..It was Destiny that changes everything up to that point of destruction because.. -->Someone named Shinobu got mad enough to destroy the world!!!<-- This space is a spoiler . Tip : Don't Mess with the Time!!)
Its on the laws of Time and Space anyways.. If you want to get a better outlook ..(Check out the Past arc of TWGOK. it will really explain about Future-past contradictions or something. and its on the manga btw.) Damn ... Time and space is really a mind riddle to know its colors... Now that I Think about it ... my answer is just as confusing as that time riddle itself lol!!

Myself after getting all the facts straight... : MINDF*CKED ....My brain hurts a little...
It seems like I typed a f*cking long pool of words again.. !!

The situation becomes clearer, as regards the plot, I wanted to believe that there was another, but the harsh reality is easier to predict, or save Mayoi.
Drawings not bad, nice narrative.

LOLI!!!!! Oh um ep 8.

Plot: Now 11 years in the past, Koyomi resolves to save Hachikuji from her fate. After a bit of a stumble and nearly causing her to die, he succeeds and guides her home to her mother. Unfortunately that caused the end of the World. Whoops.

Character: LOLI HANEKAWA! SO ADORABLE! Shota Koyomi was a surprise but Shinobu's reaction was hilarious. Like Master, like servant.

Koyomi brought his comedy A game. From his reaction to Hanekawa and Mayoi to his back and fort with Shinobu. And SHinobu with glasses is awesome. All arguments are invalid.

Animation/sound: Afro and tears of blood Araragi made me lol hard.

5/5. When messing with the TIme stream, it will respond with a resounding F*k you and cause an armageddon. Don't screw with Time.

Awawawaaaw, young Hanekawa! *so cute* (and here I thought it was nice to see young Araragi by that time). And middle-school Shinobu too!

And Mayoi saved! Maybe.. Something's fishy here.

Eh, an it was actually Shinobu who brought those aberrations in heavy numbers to their city? I have a hunch that hill energies has something to do with Nadeko too. And it seems draining those energies back then did some great damage to the city.

Ah, Araragi...you're more of a bad influence then you realize. Shinobu wanting to grope "shota Araragi" was pretty hilarious.

So just saving Hachikuji annihilated the entire world? Yikes...wonder how that worked out. Guess I'll find out next episode!

That was a great and melancholy episode. Jeez.

Shinobu and Araragi went back in time, specifically 11 years ago, to save Mayoi from dying. Saving her means Araragi won't meet her 11 years later. Jesus fucking Christ. That made me sad as fuck.

Going back to the past means meeting the little versions of the female in his harem. Haha. They saw young Araragi and Shinobu suddenly turned into some kind of perv. Haha. He was so fucking cute. Waaaah. Heck, he turned into a hottie helloooo. ;-;

We saw loli Hanekawa (according to Shinobu) and Araragi lost his shit and wanted to assault her. I'm dead. Then they asked her for directions where Tsunade-san lives then she directed them to the police station. Lmfao loli Hanekawa. And her line not knowing everything she still carried it with her 11 years later.

I didn't know vampires can go back in time. That was mindblowing.

GREAT. FUCKING. EPISODE.

Woaaahh, this episode was satisfying in many many ways, from Schoolgirl Shinobu to loli Hanekawa, the chase for her, Koyomi carrying Shinobu around, and also as many says, probably that policewoman was Koyomi's mother. (very sharp from you, Hanekawa, sending him to the cops!)

I hear also that many conversations from the LN where cut out, i should read it sometime but i'm lazy *w*

Shota Araragi, loli Hanekawa, and junior high Shinobu were all really cute :) I was thinking we should do more of this time travel stuff to see more characters, but then they apparently annihilated the future o__o; The prices we pay for cute.

Of course the first thing Araragi does when he sees Hachikuji is flip her skirt. And then he saves her (although it was his fault in the first place lmao) and says
I see. A pervert. That's unforgivable. Well, there's all sorts of weird people out there, so you should be careful. It's a good thing a guy like me, a picture of the word respectable, appeared."
LOL. That was great.

Now the question is, how did saving Hachikuji lead to the end of the world? 😳

Changing the past, it really works.

I'm just gonna write the impact of saving Hachikuji here, it's just my guess though:

1. Hitagi didn't love Araragi
2. Tsubasa confess her love to Araragi
3. Araragi killed by Kanbaru (lol)
4. Meme doesn't leave the town.
5. Meme meet Kagenui and Kaiki

The real cause of the catastrophic future is little Tsubasa seeing a wild Araragi.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Bummer that Shinobu's initial theory of needing to use her initial energy proved false. I was hoping we would get to see Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade again. Shinobu's reaction to Shota Koyomi was simultaneously terrifying and hilarious. Araragi is being a very bad influence on the young impressionable Shinobu if Shinobu is already THAT perverted. I figured that their placement in time involved Hachikuji, considering that's what Araragi was thinking of when he leaped through the time gate or whatever they called it. I feel like it has repeatedly been established in literature and other anime that fucking with the past is a very bad idea. Wouldn't recommend going down this route, Araragi. Shinobu is managing to be very unsupportive yet supportive at the same time. Impressive. Loli Hanekawa! Brilliant! 10/10 show. Loli Hanekawa is adorable. She looked like she was having fun while Araragi was chasing her, but I imagine a high-schooler chasing you would be pretty terrifying as a 5 or 6 year old. Araragi's hair doing... that and him beginning to cry blood was hilarious. Of course Hanekawa directed him to the police station, lol. What kind of map was the police officer drawing that she needed to use THAT many colored pencils? Wait, isn't the fact that Araragi wants to save Hachikuji in-and-of-itself paradoxical by nature? If he prevents Hachikuji from becoming an aberration, he never meets her 11 years in the future and thus never has a reason to save a young Hachikuji from becoming an aberration in the past. I'm going to stop thinking about this before I give myself a headache. Shinobu x Hanekawa is adorable. "Large backpack" is a bit of an understatement, Pa. Amusing that Hachikuji is exactly where Araragi first met her. Why was his first instinct to see her bloomers? Good man Araragi, getting hit by a truck to save the loli. Does it really get that dark in Japan as early as 4 PM? I like Shinobu's nicknames for the past versions of the cast. Yeah... Let's not ever let Shinobu drink Araragi's blood again. Sounds like a bad idea. What happens if she doesn't chant the spell? Isn't that bad? OF COURSE THE WORLD GOT ANNIHILATED. That only makes sense.
