Haven't watched yet but is it a simple recap or a recap with something unseen also added?


well, they used some scenes from the blue ray edition instead of the normal scenes, so if you didnt buy the blue ray, just merely watched them via stream, then there are some new scenes for you (like araragi vs kanbaru fight, araragi vs snake)

eventhough it was only a recap, i still enjoyed every second of it

am only wondering what they are going to do with selling blue ray dvds, are they going to implement the recapping episodes or just leave them out?

Why do we need those recaps seriously, I don't care about other seasons, I'm done with that, I'm here to watch something new, and we still have like 2 more to come, fuck.

Actually I didn't mind the recap for a couple of reasons:

Any episode with Senjougahara is a win.
Any episode with long haired Senjougahara is a double win.
After a couple of years my memories of the non-Senjougahra arcs are receding and the reminder was useful.
And did I mention that any episode with Senjougahra was a win...

Hmm, I surprisingly kind of enjoyed this recap, as it brought back some fond memories from Bakemonogatari.

I ain't even mad. In fact, i was happy to see this recap~


This ep was full of awesomeness :


- the best heroine ever (Hitagi FTW)

- one of the best romantic scenes ever (yes, i'm talking about that summer triangle scene from ep 12)

- the best anime ending song of all time (Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari <3 )

Previously, they are planning to broadcast Hana after Kabuki even though they knew the situation behind it. Final arrangements to omit Hana from the tv broadcast has been made late and they cannot just reduce the episodes less than 20 because they have to met the conditions that are made between them and the TV stations.
From the recently published Shimbo x NisiOisiN talk it seems they decided the recap quite early so as to give the staff break in between to avoid any quality drop issue due to hard-pressed schedule.
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.

bless.
i was also really happy to see senjougahara with long hair. i still think it suits her the best. on the other hand i think hanekawa looks better with short hair. welp.

i can understand that some people are mad because they expected an actual episode, but all in all i thought it's been a nice recap. i think i also mentioned that at the last recap, but i always find some small details i forgot about or didn't even realize yet, so yeah.

Kind of off topic but can someone tell me who did a sub for this recap episode? Commie and horriblesubs didn't. Everyone seems to say "it was subbed by another group if you want to waste space on recap" but I DO want to waste that space I just don't know who subbed it.

All of Bakemonogatari summarized into one recap episode. Well... it was nice to hear Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari in the episode once again. Since I already knew what happened, I didn't need to find a subbed version: I simply watched it raw.

Second summary, about Bakemonogatari. Pretty good sum up but as expected it is impossible to fit 15 episode in 30 min ( even less) as stated by Koyomi ^^

Personally I think these are actually decent recap episodes. This is definitely the only series where I enjoy watching the recaps. Of course, if I hadn't waited it out, I'd probably be dying inside having to waste an entire two weeks for a real episode every time one of these recaps came up. So, instead I waited like 3 months.

Gosh, Horriblesubs, Commie, Coalgirls.

The only recap translated is episode 6 of Hanekawa Black by Horriblesubs, why every anime series with recap episodes always ignored? Does anyone outside there who stupid enough to choose this anime series become incomplete? I mean Bakemonogatari have a recap and complete at least, an anime series without complete episodes is the same as Cheeseburger without a cheese for me.

The Coalgirls didn't name the episode by numbers and choose to ignore recap, they naming it by the story arc.
Commie, skipping the recap and renaming episode 7 into 6, 12 to 10, 16 to 13.
Horriblesubs so stingy, only one episode recap translated. Episode 6

Can you Imagine that?
For God sake, where I can watch the rest of those recaps?
A download link maybe, only episode 11 and 16 left, please.

Honestly kinda digging the recap episodes, they're a nice throwback to Bakemongatari.
Also glad they played some of the Bake OST, especially Sutekimeppou, really good track right there.

Ah, so it's a bakemonogatari recap, which covered all the important events except for the end of nadeko snake which was kind of cut off unfortunately. Other than that, a well-done recap and a welcome as one as well for me, since it's been quite awhile since I've watched bakemonotagari. This was a decent refresher. Now ON WITH THE SHOW

Another recap episode so the ratings will reflected all the disdain that people have for these summaries. However, in this case I think the recap was not only helpful in terms of a summary but also offered insight into the characters. Now that we've seen Koyomi interact with all of these characters a lot of things just make more sense. The episode read like a summary of the oddities and how they relate to each character, without much of the slower moving dialogue that made it somewhat obscure at times. And if that's not enough, we have an opportunity to revisit Senjougahara in the shower. I mean, how bad is that?
