i actually liked the recap. i can understand that people got bothered by it (especially when you actually expected a normal episode), but everytime i rewatch a scene/episode of monogatari, i always find a small detail i haven't noticed before or something that can be interpreted completely different. so it was actually nice to look back at the beginning of all that.

Me too. Not only has it been a long time since I watched the previous series, but putting that arc all in one episode helped to put the Tiger arc in perspective, and although I would have to rewatch them to make sure, I think this showed some more information that we had before; if not then it just refreshed my mind which was worth it to me.

Overall, I think this series doesn't have the magic of before, it seems more slow paced... but for what it is, it is still entertaining and the recap was actually a good way to cap off the Tiger series and explain Ar.'s motivations for rejecting Ha.

I was honestly a little disappointed by episode 6. I waited looking forward to it for a week and additional time for an English subtitled version, but the entire thing turned out to be a recap of Nekomonogatari. It was still enjoyable and refreshing, nonetheless. Well, I'm sure the next episode will be great. :)

Strange that they recapped Kuro right after Shiro. I suppose it would have been useful for those who didn't see it in the first place.

So people were overreacting, it's only Nekomonogatari Kuro recap. I think they just aired this episode because it's ova and maybe not everyone is familiar with it. Actually i'm happy with it, because i like Hanekawa's arcs, nyahaha

No need to watch the summary given it's just...well, a summary. A whole precious episode wasted. What a shame...

Monogatari Series recaps are always worth watching, at least for me, so i have no complain about this one. i enjoyed it, especially since i can watch Meme again, truly a badass.

the last scene always makes me shiver

They weren't kidding about the recap, huh. This is Nekomonogatari: Kuro ... compressed into one episode far shorter than its original two-half hour runs. I watched it raw, but the logos and titles for Monogatari Series: Second Season are there, so this really is counted as episode 6, I guess.

For a compilation episode, I would have loved to see the events in the "gaps" from Tsubasa's memories of Nekomonogatari: Shiro animated though, if that were even possible instead of a condensed recap of Nekomonogatari: Kuro.

Wow. So it's basically a summary of the Nekomonogatari in Bakemonogatari? Well, the difference is its told in the 1st person's 3rd POV.

As I thought they might do, Neko Shiro volume 2 (down) includes summary episode 1 総集編I (episode 6) as a bonus. I expect we'll get the summary episodes as bonuses on all the arcs going forward but it is not yet listed for Kabuki 2 (down) or Otori 2 (down) so I can't be sure until they list the on-disc bonuses (none listed yet for those arcs).

Damn...Hiroshi Kamiya... you really got so epic Voice skills!! Thanks for voicing the great MCs of the many great animes :) (I don't know why I am thanking him here !!)
Wel.. The Summary was Flawless in its own style... Explains all about Tsubasa and koyomi's destined meeting, Their pasts and the Sawari Neko also!!!
You can say that this is the "Golden Week" Episode .
Well.. Arm got detached like shit!! Its Raining Blood !!
So you really like Hanekawa.. the one who you rejected because of Senjougahara being a flashy girl that confessed and was accepted... If you have reject her or did not meet her (no I think its fate that you will meet and help people after the incident..) then I am sure that you and hanekawa will be lovers then couples for the rest of your lives ... Shit... Damn its still hurts ...
He meet that sword since Golden week!? I thought is was new...
Koyomi was cool!! (Damn if he done that on the other fights... I wouldn't hate him for that..)
He got his body slashed-in-half with Cat nails like that... Sweet shit!!
Hanekawa still thinks that all living things is all equal... It makes me want to like you more!!!
"The Feelings That will not be Forgotten"-Koyomi Araragi... Nice Quotation :D (good Title.)
If Only Time repays you back with HanekawaxAraragi being the perfect couple.. I will gladly watch it until it ends happily.. ever after. (Let me get this straight... I don't hate any other girls besides hanekawa.. and if you ever think that way.. well its wrong.. Its just that I feel Hanekawa will be the most perfect girl with araragi... and of course I am okay with the other pairings too..But I'm really with Hanekawa. Hope She will be given a chance !!! )
Great Ending !!! Great Summary!!!
Pretty Nice Episode!!! (except for those "so gore" scenes..)
Good Recap overall !!!

... A recap.. but anyways, rewatching it suddenly made me realize the part where Araragi finds out Hanekawa has no room was such an over exaggeration...

"It's already pass the point of no return"
"It's done for"

... all the while jumping out a two story window, running full speed like usain bolts and off on his bike. Really?

Actually, that scene is overdone (even in Shinbou sense) that it looks like he's doing slapstick. It was much better and more emotional in the LN.

luckily i am watching this around 2 years after it aired meaning i was warned this was a recap episode that could be skipped and continuing to next episode rather then being dissapointed after waiting for a week and having to wait another week.

Though i only watched the bake recap to get another title on my list recaps can actually be very useful for refreshing memory if you haven't watched it in a while, or there is just a lot of information to look back on that might be relevant later on, for that reason i think i'll just watch the recaps in 2nd season just before owarimonogatari starts airing and probably watch the attack on titan movies before 2nd season of it starts, on the contrary recaps aren't that usefull when it's not long ago you last watched making them very infuriating when watching it while airing and pretty even worse for people binging it like me if you don't want to skip any episodes included in episode count

Yeah, it's a recap, but it summarized quite nicely what happened. After previous episode I wasn't ready enough to move on further from Hanekawa's story, because a lot happened and there should be a sort of a sort of "pause" that would "help to move on". After watching recap, I feel like it came to the conclusion (although I know there's yet a lot of stuff to happen).

That whole episode was just a recap of the whole Nekomonogatari episodes. I have no complaints since I missed Black Hanekawa's long white hair. Ugh. Iconic underwear, though. Hahaha.

Ugh. Kamiyan, your voice will be the death of me. So fucking hot. ;-;

Oh, it was just a recap episode. At least I don't have to write an essay describing every little thing now, because this is all stuff we've seen before. The episode should have just had the words "GO WATCH NEKOMONOGATARI KURO YOU STUPID FUCKS" for a few seconds then have something with actual consequence in it. Ah well, see you guys tomorrow.

Honestly would've been better if this was considered as a special and not an actual episode, but whatever, I liked it even though it was a recap/summary. Thought they did a alright job summarizing Neko: Kuro

I was a bit confused and was about to comment my opinions on a further ep. I thought this was the 6th ep. in the season since it is the 6th ep. on the list I have on my pc. By reading people's comments, it looks like this is a recap and that the Blu-Ray version is a bit different. Thanks for telling me. :P

I knew this was a recap going in and didn't mind that, after 30+ episodes I could use a refresher.

But alas, it was all focused on the sawari neko storyline which just happened in Nekomonogatari black. We're running on 10+ episodes in a row now with the sawari neko thing so I'm really hoping we move in another direction with the next story arc.
