Ah, each and every episode of the whole Monogatari series is such a visual treat. I'm not even talking about the quirky shower fanservice in this episode or in other episodes. It's just a real feast for my eyes... and I'm not having it any other way.

The heck was that music in the shower... It greatly added to the awkward wackiness of the two of them performing "skinship" in the shower. It's impressive how Hitagi chose to interact with Black Hanekawa so nonchalantly, even going so far as to endure getting her energy drained for a handshake (her energy which I think has improved a lot from when she got her emotions and weight back is also showing here).

This is the second episode where we've had nary a word from our usual protagonist Koyomi. Seems things might be really, really serious if he can't even show up for two episodes... though I'm not complaining, and seeing the two friends/love rivals Hitagi and Tsubasa interact so much without a trace of expected shuraba is already a treat in itself.

Hmm. I'm hearing reports that shows like Gatchaman Crowds, Silver Spoon and Uchouten Kakozu are also being called Anime of the season by many others. How shall we compete? Superior ratings and viewings?


Kingdom 2 is an awesome series that probably will be better except if Monogatari is as good as Bakemonogatari. Is actually quite epic.
Watashi Ga Motenai is also very good.
Gatchama seem like bullshit to me.

“You just…accept anything and everything.”

“Do you really like Araragi?”

The way Hanekawa likes everything and hate nothing make me wonder if she really love Koyomi?

Also Black Hanekawa looks really cute/sexy with short hair.

Wonder why Senjougahara didn't get effected by the energy drain,I guess it's cause she doesn't cause Hanekawa any stress.

of course her hair grows, more or less, it depends on time, but I don't think it'll be as long as hers in Bakemonogatari
from Nise to Koi is just about 6 months and her hair is not even shoulder-length, to Tsukimonogatari (1st book in Final Season) I think it's about 1 year, it would not be much longer, I suppose

Who is that behind the bad guy? XD

Well! Talks between women! Episode flowing nicely, it seems that the story is rich, almost saturated events to engage one's attention, but in the cold by analyzing the episode, the plot progresses very slowly and things seen there are very few. The thing that always manages to not disappoint, as they are the dialogues to Nisio, to get to the point that walking around so long as to seem off topic! * _ *
Drawings and animations scarce.
Curious to know what hides Hitagi to Hanekawa on speech where lodge it * _ *

First half was meh, second half was interesting....the only thing that bothers me is Araragi seems to be playing a side character in this arc, I also heard he's not really present during the Hitagi arc that much either...kinda sucks considering those two girls are the romance interests....nevertheless, I'm still satisfied.

Black Hanekawa finally appear. That tiger, I wonder what she's up to and what the neko have against him. When she asked him to stop attacking her, she implies that he's the one that the burned the house I guess.

That hot shower scene xD
Senjougahara can be so creepy.

We learned that Hanekawa say good morning to her Roomba :O

Senjougahara word at the end were harsh, but spot on again. If I remember correctly, it's pretty similar to what Araragi once said. I want to know what she answered after that »:O

Wow, what a great episode! That was a massive deal of development between Senjougahara and Hanekawa. Really like seeing Hanekawa almost pushed out of her comfort zone and having to behave in a different way than she normally does.

Either way, great discussions in this one.

The Cat Returns...Goddangit. Ep 2.

Plot: Senjougahara and Hanekawa have a good time by themselves. The Cat returns and tries to confront the Tiger Oddity that she believes is what caused the Fire to Hanekawa's home. THe TIger reveals that the fact that Hanekawa noticed it was the key. Considering the past interactions of humans and Oddities, that was obvious.

CHaracter: I still don't like the Cat.

Hanekawa...to just accept things...definitely not good. To have likes, dislikes, loves, and hates. The extra seasoning on a character is how they react and perceive things around them. People, places, and things. To just accept for what they are but to have no clear feelings on them...can you even say that you can love?

There are things that you never just accept as they are. Ever.

Senjougahara: thank you for pointing this out. I was distracted by the food a bit too much and got hungry but you figuring it out from that was a stroke of genius.

Animation/sound: It is a dang good coincidence that Hanekawa's body is strengthened whenever the Cat is around cause all that crap woulda sucked to wake up to. The TIger is still terrifying as all heck.

4/5. A major improvement on the first ep and that callback to the end of ep 1 was great.

Wow, dat shower scene, have to say that was something very enojayble to watch, great fanservice! :)
And their sleeping in one bed too. I bet Senjougahara is somehow envious of her body.
But it was also great way to show their mutual (more than) friendship.

Hmm, and interesting things going on with Black Hanekawa and Tiger, I really wonder what he is after.
But I'm even more curious about what Senjougahara did to relieve her stress. She wasn't sleeping next to her in the morning and 3 chapters were skipped - is she maybe afraid of her somehow now? Or rather, was she really tired because she watched her all the night to change back?

And their food talk during breakfast was just marvellous. They were literally acting as disillusioned couple :D Nice how Senjougahara realized Hanekawa and cat are actually the same person.
And it was even better when she realized Hanekawa has nothing she dislikes (well, that's not wholly true when we remember her parents and her being jealous for example, but well).
Now I really hope what Senjougahara said doesn't means Hanekawa's love is just delusion. Cause I still favor her the most.
But maybe this is the right way how to break her out of her shell to actually feel for herself.

This arc is easily the greatest possible with two best heroines in it.
