Gaeeen.

Decent episode. I liked the conclusion of this arc. Aww, that was a tearful goodbye definitely from Mayoi. DAT OST. No Shinobu OP though...:(

Anyways yeah, I'm ready for the next arc. Oop, I spotted Araragi getting a kiss from Mayoi as well.

and araragi last word "sayonara... hachikuji mayoi.. .."

When I read the LN I took this as even more shocking than Nadeko becoming a goddess, and I still think it is.
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.

I just wish some asshole wouldn't have spoiled that for me and a lot of us weeks ago, to think the impact could have been even greater.

FUUUUU...
even though she wasnt my favourite character, it was heartbreaking T_T
fking ninjas cutting onions

EDIT: is it just me or does now every member of araragis harem graduate from his harem?

hanekawa: accepting her dark side, becoming a normal person, views araragi now as a friend, not as a prince
nadeko: always lieing to herself and her surroundings, in the end become an insane god, despising herself and araragi (i know it will be settled in hitagi end arc)
mayoi: let herself go, to protect everyone including araragi

we have yet to see the "graduation" of his sister and kanbaru (there is still a tsuhiki arc and suruga devil arc)
i hope at least gahara stays with him, otherwise it will be too cruel

So Shinobu Time is about Mayoi at the end, just like Mayoi Kyonshee is in fact about Shinobu at the end.

What a spectacular episode. And I couldn't think of a better way for Hachikuji to go out than with that kiss and line (although not having her pass on would be infinitely better). Hopefully she comes back in some shape or form later on. This season just continues to get better and better. Bravo Shaft.

Such a sad episode. While hearing Araragi and Hachikuji saying their goodbyes while the piano plays in the background made things 100 times more sad. Almost shed a tear!!

One of my favorite characters in the show is out of the picture now. :(

Hachikuji's my favorite Araragi-girl so I dreaded the coming of this arc. Then when I heard that piano version of Kaerimichi, I realized this was it.

I cried so much T_____T

The next arc's probably going to be Koimonogatari. It'll focus on Senjougahara and Nadeko, as far as I know. Also, recap episode next week, I'm sorry.

Ummm.......Kaiki?

Wow. What an episode. I'm stunned...

Could anyone please tell me what song played during araragi and hachikuji's last conversation? Especially the piano piece when she said "I bit your tongue". That was utterly crushing.

Interesting episode. Gaen knows lots of things. The dark was explained. Her explanation of Shinobu's sin was interesting: her sin was not she acted like a deity but she pretended to be a deity without becoming one. Also interesting was *being mistaken* itself was regarded as a sin in the Monogatari world. The parting scene was beautifully done. That kiss reminded me of the Railroad Man. Ogi's remark was intriguing. Her job is punish liars. Maybe she works for the dark or she is the dark itself.

That. Was. BRILLIAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNT!

They went above and beyond in portraying Hachikuji's more darker and tragic role in the grand scheme of things. They didn't just steer away from the "happy end" syndrome, Nisio fucking beat it on the skull till the white meat showed. Which is one of the themes of this season that honestly almost flew over my head.

Goddammit, Hachikuji is SO my favorite now.

I didn't really have many thoughts on this series as a whole but this episode just blew me away. Hachikuji's appearances were probably my favourite parts of the series but when Gaen called her out and she ran to Araragi my heart just sank. Didn't think that I would feel this emotional but their final dialogue along with the music and overall direction really had an impact on me.

Your attempt is a decisive failure. You're currently too bitter for anything like that for another week or so.

No seriously, although I knew what was gonna happen from the start, I didn't expect it to happen like this. I mean, not that I didn't know what was gonna happen, just that...

You know what, fuck it. This was perfect, as most Monogatari arc finales anyway. 5/5

Ougi, I hope you burn in a pithole.

No, I'm still disgusted.

I liked the episode and I'm glad there was no deus ex machina at the end. It was interesting to see that there was a "enforcer" for the oddities and that if they reneged from their nature, it prompted their destruction, or at least correction. I guess that makes Hachikuji an odd oddity. Anyway, the poignancy of her departure aside, the ending was also good because of the suspicions it raised of Ougi. Although I do doubt she's the "darkness". I question the extent of it's cognizance because of how it indiscriminately kills anything else alive close to the deviant oddity. I figure if it was in some way sentient or a sentient being, it'd be more precise.

Brilliant episode! This season has been mind blowing. Absolutely stunned by how good this has been. Mayoi ;_;...Dat kiss <3

Ougi being/related the Darkness was O_O! Shit!! How did I not notice it???

So for LN readers when was it that Koyomi got his shirt ripped like that when he came to save Hanekawa? I thought it was now. But seems it was during the Kanbaru mission?

Well anyway that was so good! Everytime I say best ep and the next one beats it. I'm amazed!

I love how Araragi chose to deny accepting those trite sayings like "She'll always be with me" or "I still have the memories in my heart" or "She'll be there when I most need her." Farewell Hachikuji. It seems that Araragi's harem is slowly coming apart one girl at a time.

Best episode of the series by far. I wasn't feeling this entire arc in general but this episode was too damn perfect.

I will miss you Hachikuji. ;u;

Monogatari keeps impressing me with each arc, so I'm hoping it will go out with a bang for the final one.
