Kareeeeeeeen. I miss her and damn, I am glad she showed up this episode.


Tsubasa's nya is just so catchy to listen to as well. I also see Shinobu. Yay, it's about damn time she showed up. I miss her as well. Nya. Great episode again imo, the way Tsubasa and Shinobu talks sure was something.

That bathing scene was nice, which was much healthier than the bathing scene of Rokyubu.

It was enjoyable as always. I was impressed at the symbolism again. And execution was perfect.

After bath with Senjougahara, Hanekawa gets to bathe with the Fire Sisters!!

And we have long-haried Ganbaru

And we have Shinobu

And we have sexy white cat "Black Hanekawa" !!

So much to see...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

A lot happened this episode, especially with the cram school being gone now.

There's certainly some eye candy with the bath scene, but I would like to point out that Hanekawa who doesn't have a normal family is moving from one family to the other. She eats with them, sleeps in their home and takes a bath with them. She goes above and beyond just being a guest, it is more like she is becoming part of their family.

I can't wait for the big reveal, it is going to be amazing.

Still a bit surprised how quickly I got used to Tsubasa as the main character. But with that voice and the interesting character traits it's no wonder, I guess. This could go on forever like this.

Fantastic episode overall 5/5

Got some nice eye candy with that bath scene, but the highlight of this ep. was probably the conversation between Black Hanekawa and Shinobu and the cram school.

A LOT of reappearances of old characters in this ep.
And it seems like the female characters are completely switching the lengths of their hair lol.

Also loved the scene when Gahara-san tricked Karen X3

This episode was well done. I actually thought the directing made sense and it was great to see Senjougahara acting more directly like we're used to. Kanbaru and Karen finally making appearances! I missed seeing them. Shinobu as well. I forgot how she talks using old language like 'washi' and 'jaga'.

I actually laughed out loud quite a bit during this episode!

Anybody know what a tiger and the color white represent in Japanese culture? After hearing what Shinobu said to Tsubasa, these things should play/mean something for the plot.

Anyway, it was another great episode. Can't wait to see Koyomi return. Nadeko is the only girl missing, meaning that he is helping her?

If you think of a yin/yang symbol, the positive is white and the negative is black. It's a Chinese symbol, but a lot of Chinese culture has influenced Japan. The white side has a spot of black and the black side has a spot of white. They refer to Hanekawa as pure white though, which is the point.

White also is symbolic of purity and innocence. If you think about a white cloth it will take on the color that is put in it. In that way you can think of it as something that completely accepts whatever is given to it as opposed to other colors which will mix with it and become its own color.

As for the tiger, it is white red and with orange eyes which are all colors related to heat.

Ha ha. Loved it. Senjougahara played Karen like a fiddle and got her to do exactly what she wanted her to do without needing to ask for a favour. I love Karen-chan but she's not the sharpest tool in the shed. And is Hanekawa going to get a shower scene with everyone except Araragi?

I missed Kanbaru so it was cool seeing her again. I wonder what freaky stuff her and Araragi are doing. I also like how this anime is not afraid to change with the looks of it's protagonists. Kanbary and Tsukihi have long hair (Tsukihi's is insane) and the other girls have gone short. Only Shinobu and Majoi are the same but they aren't human. I'm guessing only Araragi will look the same thoughout the series.

Senjougahara's arm/hands looks really off during the beginning when talking to Hanekawa while holding the sugar cubes... was that a reference/intentional?
