I can't even remember what happened in this ep so I guess it was average.

Something needs to fucking happen already.

So much Shinobu this arc, I love it. Now I'm just left wondering how they'll get out of this mess. Also, that post apocalyptic world was pretty awesome.

This episode was truly beautiful. Love how Koyomi was comforting Shinobu when she was feeling down. Animation and soundtrack were gorgeous, as expected from Shaft!

This season is just getting better with each episode passing! The only disappointment for me so far has been the inclusion of unnecessary recaps.

Does anyone know if Araragi will ever do anything more than patting Shinobu on the head? Just a nice gentle hug would be enough! Is it too much to expect?

Although there was one scene that almost satisfied me - I loved how she sat on his lap at 3:15! [url]http://i.imgur.com/MzQZUuZ.jpg[/url]

Amazing episode, dat cliffhanger at the end, but im not so sure of something, when they refer to not finding shinobu, are they talking the first encounter, the kizumonogatari one?
No, she says it's the day before the cultural festival, so the last episode of Tsubasa Cat in Bake. You don't remember her running away, the same day Oshino takes off?

Must admit I did too. This episode was so exceptionally done that there are just no words to describe it, it just drags you in from the start until the end. Oh and Shinobu finally appeared with wings :)

Well in Nisemonogatari she teases him by requesting he rub her chest. Also, according to the small spoilers I read, they skipped some of their bonding moments in this arc. Such as Araragi asking for a kiss (and Shinobu saying to wait 100 years).

Saying they'll die together and spending three days traveling across Japan, acting like its a honeymoon.

Yea, this episode was enthralling, but it didn't really resolve anything, it just explained exactly how "the world was destroyed", and reminds me of one of the theories about why we do not have real-life vampires that I once came across.

It did not waste any time, but I was eager to see it resolved or at least progress made towards that end; "somebody" seems to have appeared at the end so hopefully there will be help there... otherwise, the fireworks were a nice distraction from the bleak impossibility of their recovery.

I predict they will have to do some stuff in this alternate world then leap back to mid-june and ensure that the "vamprie apocalypse" does not get triggered....

Great show, glad I kept watching this season!

You are not the only one ; _ ;

Anyway, his episode reminds me of The Last of Us/Walking Dead for obvious reason, lol. Loved the development (and Shinobu/Araragi in yukatas)

This does tell something about Shinobu's desperation when she ran away, the consequences are pretty dire.
Personally i don't really like this arc, don't know how to explain it, it's a bit uneventful.
And a bit to much focused on Araragi and Shinobu.

Nice animation in this chapter.

I would have expected Araragi to grieve more for his family/Gahara/ and friends though.

Just one left in Kabuki though, next weekend will wrap this one up. Then sadly it will likely be Summary Episode #2 after that... then Otorimonogatari "Nadeko Medusa". 4-5 episodes? Time will tell.

They skipped a lot of stuff in Kabuki... I think BECAUSE they haven't done Kizu yet. They refer to her name, other characters in Kizu and it would make no sense to mention them here though they did confuse non-readers in Neko Shiro with Episode showing up.

Next week is going to be super awesome! Actually I'm surprised they didn't go one chapter more this week but I guess that would leave too little. 57 pages left so hopefully they don't need to skip anything next week. This week was 86 pages, not as much as the previous week.

Oh Shinobu, never a boring moment with you around! And the ShinobuxKoyomi bonding this episode was so heartwarming.

-Shinobu in a Kimono was cute!-

I've always felt that Shinobu wasn't around enough, after reading Kizumonogatari I thought the bond between her and Koyomi was on a whole other level compared to Senjougahara and Hanekawa and I would've liked to see her more (like the bath scene in Nise ep. 4).

Since the third Madoka movie airs in October, I'm hoping we'll get some sort of update around then since Shaft will *probably* have more time, etc. for working on it. I doubt they'd drop the project after moving this far into the series.
