Damn ive never seen anybody fuck themself that hard before. Steins gate situation was 10x better than this at least he could send text to stop himself but araragi is screwed with a capital S.

Not nearly as bad. Steins Gate tried to stick as close to reality as possible in many aspects. In Monogatari anything can happen.

Great episode

I guess it's just me according to your comments and votes. It makes almost no difference if there are subs or not. It's pretty boring for me and I enjoyed the former season Nisemonogatari .__.

Let me get this straight, Araragi-kun wanted to finish his summer homework so he traveled back in time to yesterday do so, but he ended up traveling 11 years into the future instead......... Interesting.

That OST when Araragi was talking to Yotsugi while eating icecream reminded me of FF7's ancient forest theme.

Kinda sad there wasn't a opening. Was expecting a new one. The ending visuals appear to be different though.

Anyways, all this because Araragi didn't do his homework. Summer homework is serious business.

The opening itself must be a walking spoiler.

Chronology has pretty much been Nisio Isin's bitch, and Shaft's as well, seeing as they've been sitting on that Kizumonogatari movie for like three years now, so time travel is pretty much the next logical step. I mean, Isin just throws in this creepy-ass character we've never seen before and acts like we already know her. What is it MST3K says? "Space is warped and time is bendable"?

I'm already liking this MUCH more than Tsubasa Family. Something about Hanekawa's stories don't work for me, which is odd because I adore her as a side character and I loved Tsubasa Cat, but I didn't like Kizumono much, and really didn't like Nekomonogatari Kuro and Shiro.

Who is this Ougi Oshino? I don't recall her being mentioned before in this franchise but this episode just tosses her in without a proper introduction, seemingly expecting us to know who she is. But well, Shaft and NisioIsin have never been known for doing things conventionally and after looking up her character description I'm glad her entrance was done this way.


They haven't met Ougi yet. This is something that was clearer in the books: the novels are narrated in a manner such that the characters are narrating events from after they've concluded (As if, for example, Araragi were telling you this story several years in the future relative to when it happened). In that particular chapter, Araragi prefaces the conversation with the remark that he was about to introduce this particular story with an anecdote that wouldn't happen until long after.



Ougi's appearance rather surprised me (those eyes...). Other than that, good-but-not-fantastic episode. Can't wait to see the new Hachikuji OP.

While I enjoyed watching the first arc, Monogatari is simply better with Araragi around. His interactions with all the different girls remains the best part of the franchise, after all.

Mayoi doesn't rank too high on my personal best girl scale, but her story itself back in Bakemonogatari made me tear up at the end, and now that we're exploring that story even more, I can't help but really look forward to it.

I knew it they traveled further back in time then expected.
Still traveling in time to finish your homework on time just how for are you willing to go to finish that homework?
On the bright side Araragi has eleven years to complete his homework now...

Ononoki really wants to have revenge on Shinobu they way she acted towards Araragi by saying something that might get him killed or at least give him a hard time.
But since Araragi gets him self into things that nearly kill him all the time she doesn't really have to worry about that.

Wow, I didn't expect to see Ononoki this episode. And I started kind of late, who was Araragi talking to in the beginning of the episode? Was it Yozuru?

I'm beyond happy to see Shinobu, she's so cute. That scene where Shinobu made that doorway to time travel was pretty intense.

The scenery and animation this episode was superb. All the detailing they put into the setting is amazing. Great intro episode for the new arc.

Her name is Oshino Ougi and she hasn't been introduced yet.

In the novel the lead up to this is quite longer and Araragi doesn't believe it is possible and just goes along with it without thinking it will happen. Only when she opens the portal he slowly begins to believe Shinobu (but remains doubtful as depicted in the episode when he thinks he just fell and slept/was unconscious for 12 hours), but it is only after the meeting with the schoolgirls it dawns on him he really time-traveled

Not really, since he did not bring the homework with him, said summer homework does not exist, it will be created in about eleven years (minus two months, aprox).

Would had it been easier to take a page from DBZ and ask Nobuemon to make Araragi an special room where inside two weeks elapsed while in the outside world it is just two hours?

Lol at her trying to cover her mistake and Koyomi being clever. Shinobu's a clutz. Shinobu asking Koyomi for a ride <3
