| The bamboo forest looked even cooler at night. |
 |
| Fluffy Op by NADEshiKo with a fluffy voice and talking about fluffy things in a fluffy way I guess she's a fluffy girl Cutest monogatari girl xb |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Added 1 more girl to Araragi's harem. Meme gonna leave the town. And seems there's some kind of relation between Shinobu and Araragi. Yeah you got to learn the cruel reality Araragi, you can't save all person. And I'm wondering why the victim that Araragi met is always a girl so far. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| I liked the alternate version of Renai Circulation that played during the episode. They turned a normally happy and upbeat song into something sad and emotional. I wonder if they are just going to ditch the guy who got cursed or go and try to save him. I have a feeling Araragi would try to save him, but I'm not too sure. |
| Yeah, I can understand why this arc isn't ranked very highly in the series. I've watched the whole Monogatari Series quite a few times so I can understand its purpose now. But back when I first watched this episode I was like, "Huh, that's it?". I said Nadeko is an interesting character, but I'm only able to say that 'cause... *truck from Fairly OddParents passes by* but here marks the end of her arc. And what have we learned about her? Well, not much honestly. With Senjougahara, Hachikuji and Kanabaru you learn not only about their curses, but their insecurities, quirks, catchphrases, and what makes them them. Nadeko is crushing on Araragi. I mean, that's cute and relatable since I had a crush on one of my sister's friends lol. Don't worry Nadeko, I'm re-watching the whole series again so you'll get the attention you deserve soon enough! |
| That was a strange and somehow weird ep. The ritual for getting rid of the snake(s) was really a simple task. But who knew it would be two snakes. On top of that we saw some action and cracked bones. Looks like one of the snake is going back to it's caster. Well, somehow he deserved it. Casting a curse on an innocent girl. Maybe we see the end of that case next week if Nadeko is willingly to tell Araragi the confessing boy caster. What I found funny and obvious is the boy Nadeko likes. To most people that have watched anime this should be pretty obvious: . Anyway, very decent arc. I agree this may be one of the worst in the entire anime. The next one is gonna be good. I guess we are going back into the past since if I remember correct Araragi had already helped Tsubasa before the story began. |
 |
| This one got me on the edge of my seat. First of all, I will miss you Renai Circulation. I officially love this show, I haven't watched an anime that made me feel like this in a long time. As for the episode, I was stressed the whole time because at the start of the last episode Araragi mentioned how it could have ended better so for the whole episode I was expecting something bad to happen to Nadeko. When Arargi said it could have ended up better, I assume he is referring to the snakes returning to the boy and girl who cursed Nadeko, but honestly, in my opinion, those two deserve to have the snakes attached to them. While I am aware of the fact that those two will most likely die from the snakes because they do not know how to deal with them, they really brought it upon themselves for laying such a high-level curse on Nadeko over such a petty matter. I thought it really strange how the last episode in one of the splice ins they asked us if we had any hidden fetishes, but I do think that was pretty funny, and that interaction made finding out that Arargi likes school swimsuits even better. Just wanted to touch on that. Overall I really liked this arc and am sad to see it leave. |
"Anime is trash... and so am I" |
on 
| I like how they included extras visuals in the ED with it being more Nadeko focused. Glad that the ritual worked out in the end, kinda sucks for the kid who placed the curse on Nadeko but you reep what you sow I guess. Didn't think that there'd be two snake involved, but I guess it would've been too easy if it was just the one. Not too bad of an arc. |

| sengoku is so cute, and the snake scale marks were so disturbing on her skin, the juxtaposition is great, at least it isn't boring! (sometimes after a long day & watching bake it puts me to sleep because it's SO dialogue-heavy then i end up having to re-watch episodes just so i didn't miss out anything zzzzzz) omfg at the snake attacking him that was gnarly great arc!! i would prefer if they were this short while i really like kanbaru & araragi dynamics - i miss senjougahara tho!!!!! her absence is REALLY felt |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| New op..... NICENICENICENICE Anyway another good episode. However, I think that the animation is kinda lacking on something they should have done it better but it's ok i guess°° |
 |
| noice. nadeko is so cute man, wasnt expecting for those two snakes. |
 |
| So, first things first: I LOVE that Opening! I love the tune, I love nadeko... I just want to keep that! (But, actually, I very much appreciate the changes of OP/ED per story arc, that's just real dedication.) I don't appreciate however that ecchi/hentai-like turn the show is taking every then and now. Why-- why? Couldn't we live without that "snake invading Nadeko"-imagery? It's just invalidating things for me... Apart from that... I know this show is loved by many for its style. And don't get me wrong, I love artistic, kinda abstract anime since having watched Utena. But at this point, Bakemonogatari is taking it a bit too far for my taste. It is just so much "in your face"-unconventially abstract that I feel kinda uncomfortable with it. This is, however, very personal and I understand that many people feel differently about this. Also, there's still a lot of episodes to come, so I'll just see what's next in store. |
| It's kinda sad that Renai Circulation only gets 2 episodes. Great episode, and that was a pretty short arc. That was a reality check for Araragi, he can't save everyone. Looks like we're finally going to focus on Tsubasa next episode, looking forward to it. |
 |
| Ah yes, the legendary Ren'ai Circulation. |
 |
| She's holding the pain in that must be really hard for Sengoku Judging from the flashbacks they had a fun time playing together and Sengoku really looked up to Araragi at the time because she wanted a big brother to care for her or look out for her Damn that turned out to be bloody than I imagined, But in the end, the curses returned to the sender, Nadeko's face just says it all that she's thankful to Koyomi. |
  |
 Bloody hell, hahaha, Kanbaru, you have no grasp of the concept of shame.  Allowed for this adorable smile and laugh so it's okay.  How I love Araragi's hair.  The end was pretty damn heavy, actually challenging Araragi's helpfulness. Overall, solid arc with a character who, while a bit less interesting, is still cute and fun, also a change of pace from everyone else having lots of snark. Read some of the first page's thoughts and it really is interesting how big of changes Shaft makes with the Blu-ray release. This episode's animation was heaps good, haha. The fanservice animation especially. |
 |
| The episode was pretty good and the OP is a bop, I wish they added another episode to the arc since it was lacking. (I didn't know the black screens literally just said black lol) The arc could've done without the fanservice, and Nadeko was interesting tbh but she was only represented as a loli. The reverse-grudge was very confusing, and the snake was said to be really dangerous and different from the other curses, yet more emphasis was placed on the others. The arc gets unnecessary hate, tbh. Also where are the weird stills people are talking about? Was I watching the DVD version? |
 |
| how short nadeko's arc is in the anime really makes me want to read the novels. i know monogatari is know for it's fanservice, but fanservice while a character is struggling/hurt/suffering always makes me feel kind of icky. so when nadeko was at the shrine, all the lewd close up shots... i didn't like it. i'm actually rewatching the series, i haven't seen it since it aired and my perspective has changed a lot since then. i think i'm able to feel a lot more sympathy for the girls this time around, since i'm an adult now. i remember really disliking Nadeko, and i feel like she's still generally unpopular amongst the main cast. |
| Nadeko is fine and that's well and good but this episode made more curious about Rarargi and Shinobu. Shinobu has some sorta royal blood flowing through her and is probably the reason why there are so many oddities occurring and then there's Ararargi with his weird obsession to save everyone though he does know his limits. Still, to think how just holding a grudge can inflict such suffering on the bearer. Kinda see the real-life parallels here. |
 |
| that snake going inside Sengoku's mouth was mad sus ඞ |
 |
| the OP song is ever fire when they do it in middle of episode , slowly in instrumental . |
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Neo: What truth? Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. |
