Well that is an ending for a season. I did not see anything in that last 2 minutes of the episode coming. Kaiki is died I presume so will there be another season since the name "ms.ougi" was hinted at the end. Overall a fantastic season I loved it.

Great season!!!

Damn it! Kaiki is one of my favourite characters ever, why that had to happen to him? I wish so badly that he comes back somehow, just bring a ghost or whatever damn it :P
Loved the episode besides that, was thinking about what would happen after she said he was lying, and turned out to be pretty sweet hehe

this was definitely my favorite anime this year and after an ending like that I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait 2+ years for final season hopefully kizu comes out next year to hold me so I don't have to read the light novels.

What in the world.....

What's up with characters suddenly dying/disappearing this season, first Mayoi, and now Kaiki, in previous 3 seasons of Monogatari, nobody died as I remember right.

Anyway, pretty good last episode, except for Kaiki's death, just too surprising, got killed by a random kid lol.

Ougi has to die.
I knew Kaiki was getting too much damn character development but I didn't expect it to end like that.

This Ougi bitch has to go. Mayoi is gone, and I think that shit is her doing too, and Kaiki's dead- so Araragi and Hitagi's failsafes are gone. Araragi is too selfish to let go of Shinobu atop of all this when she can very easily be the key to everything being fixed. Even if Araragi would ascend to godliness as well if Shinobu does, he has a choice in his role does he not?

The naivety of him has really gotten under my skin this season.


Oh. and did I say Ougi has to get a steel barring through the chest?

Uuuuuugh those CG snakes.
As much as I love Shaft's surrealistic backgrounds and Monogatari's character designs, the animation had been pretty subpar.

In any case, ep was pretty damn good: Keiki kept on delivering till the end. I loved that the part when he said to Nadeko that Araragi was repleacable, not something you would imagine to hear in a harem show.
Time to tackle the novels.

You should if you can.

I definitely plan on reading them after they've all been animated and going back and reading the ones ive already seen in anime form but the monogatari I know and love is the combination of shinbo akiyuki's amazing direction, beautiful scenery, amazing voice acting, and a host of other things that a novel couldn't give me when I experience final season for the first time I want to watch it the way shaft intended first.

What's with all the negatives on the visuals? this is SHAFT they are pretty well known for over doing their budgets so last few episodes are always down in quality.


True that Shaft is known for their "unique" animation styles. But this episode was pretty bad for their standards. It's definitely not as bad as episode 10 of bake or Mami's empty room on TV Madoka magica but still..

How can Kaiki narrate his own death, eh? Hmm... think about that...


He totally bribed someone in hell, remember he said that he made some "pocket change"....

Or, he is just deceiving us about his mortality.


Going by his original appearance, I would say he's a vampire as well.


Oh God,I'd be happy as hell if this would be true. I don't want Kaiki dead.

While I wasn't all that interested in this series at the start, it really grew on me as each episode went by. Kaiki easily became one of my top characters for the entire fall season (and even possibly entire 2013 year). Just listening to his monologues the past few episodes, he was really good at heart and legitimately cared for others. I was surprised by the last minute though. Guess it'd be wise to not mess with Ougi.

My heart jumped when Kaiki got hit. I didn't see that coming, and I thought it was Oshino for a second since he was talking about him before he got hit. But I'm 99% that Kaiki is not dead. Remember what he said in the first episode of this arc.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm disappointed with this finale. My expectations were pretty damn high and I thought this arc in particular would have a grand exciting closure. Or a sudden involvement of a character. I was really shocked with animation quality. The snake CG looked ugly, I guess they will be fixed in the BDs. But man, I had a completely different idea of this arc, when I read the novel readers comments and what they were trying to imply. Even reading the synopsis of Koimonogatari gave me completely different expectations. Bakemonogatari's ending was better. I'm super excited about the possibility of Kizumonogatari happening in 2014. I think it will live up to the hype and I love me some Oshino and Adult Shinbou.

Having said that, this is still the anime of the year hands down. I would have loved to give this 10/10 but nonetheless it still made it to my favorites 9/10.

I'm gonna really miss my weekly dosage of Monogatari, I feel a bit empty :/. But I'm planning to re-watch the BDs and start all the way from Bakemonogatari. I'm getting goosebumps just think about all the fun that I'm gonna have.

Okay, glad I'm not the only one who thought that the visual presentation and the animation were quite horrendous during this episode. I actually started laughing a bit when those snakes flowed down like some shitty animated waterfall.
But that aside, that was a really good episode. It gave us a pretty nice finish to this fantastic arc. Nadeko finally got her very own closure, just as Tsubasa and Mayoi during this season.
Lastly, after reading through this thread, I came to the conclusion that it was a fucking great idea of Shaft to broadcast Hana last. Oh well...

So Hana probably spring 2014 as 4 OVA episodes? And Kizu 2019?

Ougi is the one Nadeko talked to before becoming a god, Araragi also talked to her at the end of Shinobu Time.

It wasn't Ougi. I'm pretty sure Ougi told the junior high kid that Kaiki came back in town. And the junior high kid got deceived by Kaiki so that's the reason why he was attacked.

I was really satisfied with the ending. I value the plot and story more than the visuals and didn't pay attention nor care about the visuals. Was a good ending, except for Kaiki getting knocked in the head. I don't think he dies though.

Ougi said at the end of Shinobu's arc to Araragi that her job was to punish liars, was she referring to Kaiki? I think Ougi is just someone who likes to punish liars just like Yozuru liked punishing Tsukihi just because she was immortal. Those 2 seem to just want to correct things. Araragi also suspected Ougi for being involved with Mayoi and only told her about Mayoi's disappearance to see how things pan out. Ougi is more "an opponent" than enemy I think.

i didn't even see her..one thank you over phone and araragi damn i am beginning to get pissed at him ..wanting to try and save everyone but doesn't gives a rats shit about what the other feels..

i actually like araragi x hitagi but recently i began rethinking that shinobu x araragi is much much better...

kabukimonogatari and onimonogatari was the best in this series for me

Ougi told Araragi her job "specifically" involved punishing liars, but prior to that she said it was "to right wrongs and bring to an end that which must end." The darkness from the past arc targeted Mayoi for no longer functioning in accordance with her existence (as the lost cow), and in the past targeted Shinobu for the same (pretending to be a god when she is a vampire). We can look at it simplistically and say she punished Kaiki for 'lying', or you could argue that she punished him for behaving in a way that contradicted his own existence (or you could follow Kaiki's suspicions about the activity in the town and consider that someone may even be pulling Ougi's strings just as she did with the boy who attacked Kaiki).

As for Yozuru, she didn't attack Tsukihi for being immortal, she was attempting to exorcise an oddity (which just happens to be Tsukihi) that exists by effectively eliminating the fetus of a pregnant woman, which if looked at objectively (i.e. by someone who hasn't been introduced to Tsukihi's character as we were) actually would appear to be a just objective.

A truly great ending which was bittersweet with Kaiki getting killed! Who would've thought Kaiki was actually a good guy on the inside and would be a tragic hero?! That was some arc. I grew quite fond of Kaiki and his relationship with Senjougahara was great as well. Can't wait to see what happens next. Who the hell is Ougi exactly and what is she planning!
