So.. Araragi & Shinobu went back 11 years in the past. Assuming from the episode and the ending, this arc is about Mayoi and her accident, and the reasons she's still a ghost.

Yotsugi doesn't say '... said with a posed look' anymore. xD Shinobu and Araragi traveling 11 years back into the past is really interesting. I'm sure that's when Mayoi is still alive. Great Shinobu and Araragi moments this episode. Shinobu is so cute when she's a kid. :D Mayoi's arc will probably be a lot better than I'd expected. :)

One thing I learnt from watching this episode is that I shouldn't eat whilst doing so. Maybe I was just off today, but eating, reading the fast-paced subs and looking at visuals at the same time was a lot harder than I thought when watching the Monogatari series. Won't be doing that again lol

Also looks like time-travel is involved. Thought Shinobu was gonna troll Araragi in that aspect, but looks like she really could. Looking forward to this arc, always enjoyed time-travelling stories even though it could get confusing at times.

The best episode of Bakemonogatari, without a doubt O:

SHAFT congratulations, flawless animation, dialogues stupendous, fabulous weather could not be better with that final Shinobu rising in my question, and the new characters seem very interesting, Hitagi is falling behind with its popularity.

Waiting eager pro next episode!

So the focus has switched back to Araragi
wouldn't have mind if it was on Senjougahara or the Fire Sisters
The story from Hanekawa was certainly captivating

Oumi's 3 second interval was just as Araragi said, impressing and a show off

The conversation with Ononoki was enlightening
Shinobu and the Doreamon reference, there are so many episodes which I can't recall on summer homework at all

Time traveling surely was off, instead of 1 day it's all the way back 11 years
Shinobu really messed up, but again going through another dimension is always risky

Back to the Future!

daaamm, dis girl in the beginning creeps me off...
and i loled at the moment when araragi points to some flaw in shinobus timeline and paradoxon, but it seems since they traveled 11 years back instead of 1 day, i guess they dont have this paradoxon anymore, do they?

Oshino? You mean that new character Ougi is Meme's... little... sister? ...relative? Hmm, why do those eyes look that way... so unnatural...

Looks like Shinobu really taught Yotsugi a lesson that time. A "black page" in her history, huh. The sudden background change into an African-style savanna filled with Baobab trees was rather distracting. Also, I didn't realize she was voiced by Hayami Saori.

Time travel. Should've expected something like that was even possible in the Monogatariverse. Shinobu overdid it for her first time by... sending the two of them 11(?) years into the past instead of just a day or two behind. I don't know or can no longer remember how long Mayoi has been dead, but because this is her arc (Mayoi Jiangshi) I can probably expect to see her still alive in this coming story.

Shinobu always steals the show whenever she appears. HNNNNGH!

Noticed quite a few people commenting on Shinobu making the mistake with the time travel, so here are some screenshots of the flashing text just prior to them jumping in. (these are Commie sub'd so.... make of it what you will)



I haven't read the LN yet, nor have I downloaded any other groups subs. I am curious to the LN's take on this scene and also other subers versions.

They skipped a $#!^-ton of stuff in the novel sections that they animated in episode one. I had a very different impression of their thoughts and motivations but I am worried about posting them here in case they are simply animating some stuff out of order. I don't want to spoil episode 2 for everyone. If episode two doesn't cover it then I'll reply with my impressions.

So this has probably been postulated in this thread (and novel readers obviously already know) but I'm assuming Araragi is going to try to save Hachikuji from being run over in the past, correct? It makes sense since his thoughts of her are likely what sent them back that far.

AAAND OUGI IS A GIRL. CALLED IT.


Wait for it..


Before talking about my summer's great adventure centered around Hachikuji Mayoi, there is a girl I'd like to introduce here. Although, it's not like she is coming along in that great adventure, far from that, she is not involved in that great adventure at all. To begin with, summer was long over with when I met her, it was in such a season that you could even say it was winter, so there was no way for her to come along or be involved. The point is, the story I am about to tell has nothing to do with her, so as for why I am introducing her right at the beginning, I honestly don't have the confidence that I can convey it properly, but somehow, she's the type of person that makes me think this way.
Anyway there is this type of subject that, when recalling a worthless episode you can't handle, for some reason you can't help but also remember things along, even though they aren't related in the least. I could say it feels like trying to open the second drawer of a wardrobe and pulling along the third drawer, or is it rather the feeling of closing the second drawer, and having the third open due to the air pressure, I cannot decide which metaphor is more appropriate to express here.
As a common example, pouring soy sauce on pudding makes it taste like sea urchins but, on the surface they seem unrelated, and even in depth they are unrelated, however they are similar when tasting them. Is it a paradox from the sensor organ's function, or is it a trick, if I had to say, she is like a carbonated drink without the fruit juice. Even though they're completely different, they taste the same, like synthesized food coloring and chemical seasoning -thoroughly fake, a woman symbolizing imitation itself.
Worrisome matters.
Distressing matters.
Trouble.
And failure, regret.

Yeah she was always gonna be a chick...

The ougi girl seems interesting. I'm starting to finally like Shinobu tbh lol :), loved her dialogue with Araragi in this episode. Araragi time traveling for something so silly is hilarious and fits perfectly with Monogatari's humor. This apparently is happening at the same time of Neko: Shiro and that quick fighting flashback explains why Araragi shirt was torn when he rescued Hanekwa. Amazing start 5/5.

Been following this series for a while now, and during the wait for this second season I was reading some fan translation for Kabukimonogatari that pretty much stops where we are right now.
