God, Shinobu is just too cute!

Holy shit, are those zombies?? Wow, wasn't expecting this. I love what Shinobu did there though, such a dangerous little vampire as well. Flying like the wind~ I also love this OST.

Decent episode! Loved the mood of this episode with the fireworks. Beautiful.

Holy shit, the world has been taken over by Zombies or rather Vampires. So basically Araragi died and the Shinobu in this time destroyed the world? Whoa.

Oh the apocalypse just got started, looks like zombies wandering through the streets. Huh. Never expect a fireworks scene with their Yukata's, well it was just a short time.
But other than that Shinobu looks cute in a Yukata. Well I hope they can fixed this destructive place in later episodes.

Wow What a world! A bit reminded me of I AM Legend. Never imagined such a world from the series. They were in danger at the end. Wonder if they can survive. Very interesting episode.

Woah, that was a quick change in story, but they were traveling through time so something bad was gonna happen eventually. But man.. I wasn't expecting the whole apocalyptic zombie thing at all.

The animation in this series just keeps getting better by the episode. The animation during the free falling scene this episode was beautiful. Also that firework scene was really nice. Shaft is doing an amazing job.

Wow... out of all the things to destroy the world I was not expecting Shinobu.

Man I am loving the OST in this series. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

It was interesting how they went all the way back to Bakemonogatari, and Hachikuji's crucial role of finding out Shinobu ran away.

possibly my favorite ep of the entire franchise (so far) Lots of character development, and a sensible reason for how the world got annihilated. Plus Shinobu in a Yukata HNNNNNNNNGGGGG

While waiting for the subs, what was the purpose of the fireworks? To attract the attention of this world's Shinobu?

The main reason was to attract any other possible survivors. And I believe also a bit of 'why the hell not' because it was the end of summer.

Unless you can read Japanese, there's nothing to resist. It's not even translated up to this episode.

I'd always expected to see the full powered Kiss-Shot animated in the Kizumonogatari movie, but I guess it'll be here now, instead.

Been waiting the whole week for this episode and I was not let down. It had me pulled in from the start and the ending cliffhanger was a sucker-punch, it just didn't feel like 20 minutes had passed at all. Now I have to play the waiting game once again :(

so... basically araragi never met hachiguki, therefore never get the clue that shinobu is at the donut and get killed by black hanekawa... then shinobu turns back into the full-vampire, turns everyone on earth to zombies, kills herself in the action?

seems legit

also, this means, unless they went into hiding... his sister, gahara, kanbaru, nadeko and hanekawa (unless she got killed by gahara)... they all turned into... zombies? NOOOO >_>
and oshino also got killed? i think he managed to survive somewhere (at least i hope *_*)

EDIT: just watched the second promotional vid, there were 2 new figures?

Koyomi screwed up big time by saving Hachikuji from dying.

He didn't meet Mayoi,so he didn't find Shinobu and got killed by Black Hanekawa.Turning Shinobu back to her full vampire state,she turned everyone into vampires,which destroyed the world.She committed suicide which cause her servants to become zombies.

Koyomi and Shinobu set off some fireworks to see if any survivors show up.

Then all those zombies appear and cliffhanger...(Holy shit!)

Wonder about those 2 figures we saw in the pv?And also Ougi possible role in this as well.

Also Shinobu looked cute in her yukata :3.A the ominous scenery at the beginning really fit the mood of the entire episode.

Pretty much all their conversations here are SERIOUS. I love it. :3 I can't wait what they're going to do now.. :D
Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick"
Araragi: Then what should I call you?
Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama.
Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA
Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly.
Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~

Even though the world has ended they still have time to shop at Costco! Man, that's awesome (I work at a Costco and got off a shift about an hour ago for those who are wondering what the hell I'm freaking out about). They got it pretty accurate, too, from what I could tell. How cool would that be if I could've rung them up, haha

Aside from that Costco reference, the Gurrenn Lagann zombies are about to gang rape the both of them if they don't do something

Okabe would be facepalming so hard right now.

This is why I love Monogatari, fucking fantastic plot twists that interweave current plot with certain past events and character development to further the plot in an interesting way and create additional development for said character. Say what you will about his over-tendency to fan service and puns, Nisio is a clever bastard. And as much praise as you have to have for Shaft for this season(excluding the Hanekawa letter bullshit), I reaaally wish the second season novels were fully translated, cause I'd drop everything to read em.

This was the most abrupt ending all season, the episode was so engaging I about flipped shit when it ended.

I am still confused on exactly why Shinobu would have wanted to destroy the world to begin with ? I can underestand the suicide though since if everyone is under her controll then thats like being alone entirely. Maybe i forgot something important about her thoughts and mental state over something.

I wonder why recaps counted? I thought the rule on MAL is to make separate entries for them.

All in all this arc feels really different and I like it
