A really good episode.
Kaiki's Soliloquy was really good to watch. :D

Heavy dialogued as usual again, but this time a lot of Comedy such as the glass tossing
Sadly Senjougahara's mask was spoiled before on some avatar so the impact wasn't as big as I hoped it would be. It was still amusing with the mask changes added
The pic was under suspicion of being fanmade/photoshopped by me

Anyway, it's strike me kind of odd to side with Kaiki again the one that has been causing a lot of trouble around him
He might deceive everyone instead of the given job after all
The reasons Hitagi gave to hire him was understandable with Oshino gone missing as well

Kaiki's pointing out why he should take the job was nice too

Love how she mentions Hanekawa casually as her classmate with really big boobs, in case that would somehow entice him to save them LOL

Either that, or it's just what hanekawa is in senjougahara's mind. You know, araragi likes Hanekawa's big boobs.
Hitagi likes them too... sadly we didn't get to see that scene from the last episode... but Neko Shiro's shower scene is pretty good evidence of it.

As for whether we have seen the last of Hitagi... I won't spoil that, you'll have to watch or go ask in the spoiler/novel threads.

Great episode, the meeting between those two was funny as hell, but when they got to the payment part, stuff got sad.

Looks like Kaiki has some big respect for Gaen and Kanbaru.

Gahara is back.

All's right with the world.

No seriously now, this episode had all I like best about Monogatari. The over the top soliloquies, the contrived back and forth dialogue, subtle humor, crazy use of color/art design etc. etc.

I think this is gonna be a very enjoyable arc if Kaiki continues as narrator throughout. I hope we see more of Gahara too. And it'd be great if we at least get one scene of her and Araragi together, but I won't hold my breath for it.

Was enjoying Kaiki's lone time in the bathroom when suddenly- "Even if one of my scams forced a girl into prostitution, my way of life wouldn't change one bit."

Bitch, dammit Kaiki. But, I still find Kaiki as funny. HYELP ME!

Senjougahara is going to lengths to save Araragi and her self and really far at that the question is what will she have to pay to Kaiki.
Even if there is something in it for him since he is a scammer he would always want more.
And the way the story started it seems to have something to do with the relationship of Senjougahara and Araragi.
Hope it wont be to bad.

Kaiki! This was my favorite episode so far. And it looks like this will be the best arc. I really like how it's shown through Kaiki's perspective. I find him to be the most interesting character in the show.

And it's also good to see Senjougahara again.

I was eagerly looking forward to Kaiki's coffee-pouring scene to be super-impactful as I was reading the same part in the LN, but uh, slightly disappointed. But still good episode nonetheless.

Anyway, new ED with new Ueda Hajime's artworks, absolutely fabulous.

Oh yesss, Kaiki is back even even better than before! Loved the chat between him and Senjougahara, and Kaiki's soliloquy was awesome ;p

Kanbaru really seems to have a much bigger role in all of this than I originally imagined :o Even Kaiki really does seem to care about Gaen-senpai a lot o.o

dat new ED <3

The scene wth Gahara-san spewing out her juice was really nice, cracked me up a bit.
Hope Hanekawa manages to find Oshino, really miss the guy.
Thank god Kanbaru fell in love with Gahara-san~

New ED is great, made me tear up a bit when Mayoi showed up for a sec though, this death is gonna be hard to get over. T_T

The Blurays have 72 minutes each so it is 6 real episodes for Koimonogatari according to that.

While this is the 'final' arc of Second Season, we still have the Hana OVA/ONA series next year to look forward to.

It is funny that they didn't show Kaiki mentioning in his bathroom monologue that part of the reason for Kanbaru making him say YES is...
It's the completely obvious connection and he says it in the novel right when he says she has a connection with Hitagi; that is the connection. So he knows about it, so why not say it in the anime too?? It would have taken just a few more seconds. Weird. He mentions Gaen as well of course but that connection is not yet obvious to us why it would connect him to Hitagi.

TwinImpact said:

Okay, now I'm a bit surprised.
I thought it was pretty clear that Hitagi tried to make Kaiki feel guilty so that he would stop demanding so much money and just cooperate with her instead. At first, she tried to do this by saying that Nadeko becoming a crazy medusa is also Kaiki's fault, but that didn't work since Kaiki couldn't give a shit about some middle schooler. So she had no other choice but to suggest this to make him feel guilty, which pretty much worked. You know, even someone grim as Kaiki has his morals.
So, tl;dr: She just tried to guilt-trip him.

Kaiki's an interesting character though and it's always nice to see Senjougahara. But this was a slow episode. Only part that piqued my curiosity was Kaiki's reason for taking the job.

Otherwise, meh.

Hitagi really does make this series better. Just the conversation between her and Kaiki kept me on the edge of my seat. Of course, I burst out laughing when I saw her mustache-disguise (which changed as the episode progressed).

Pretty interesting for this episode (and maybe even future episodes) to be told from Kaiki's point of view. I laughed at his sudden change of wardrobe upon his meeting with Senjougahara (from that lie that he was always in Okinawa).

Shaft and their usual quirks with ever changing gag glasses and shirt colour.

As much as I hate Kaiki's character, and would be happy to see him get killed off (that works nicely with the plot), I'm curious as to his relationship between him and Kanbaru's mother, which lead to his supposedly only weakness being her daughter.

I don't think she tried to make him guilty you know she will do anything for help Koyomi even sell her body? So, I said luckily Kaiki is a good guy if he's not good I think he will accept last offer
Tbh I don't hate Gahara, but just hate what she said

They wouldn't adapt that kind of unreliable narration by showing you a scene and telling you later "lol jk". So you can at least expect that the stuff you see to be legit.

I wouldn't say Kaiki is a good guy. IMO, he is a person who does thing based on profits and losses. And he don't want to change his way of life.

Or is it? Maybe he lied about that soliloquy. Maybe he was readily to vow for his fault.
Wait...

Maybe he... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

I wonder if he made an investigation or they were so popular that everyone in town knew about them...
