| That was probably my least favorite opening song yet, but the rest of the episode was great! Tsubasa was pretty cute in her cat form. |
| Damn that episode was over so fast :o Looks like Hanekawa will transform soon once again because of her shitty parents :/ |
| That Cat Personality Of Hanekawa Was So Cute!!!!!!! |
 |
| Great episode as always! |
| Hanekawa trying to justify her dad hitting her was sad. So there's the sexy kitty I've seen in so many screenshots of this show... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wow, I love the OP, it's probably my favourite of the lot. I'm glad the Hanekawa arc has finally started, she's definitely the most intriguing character. |
| Hanekawa, is the most boring character I've ever seen. This arc along with the snake arc are just not that good. |

CatSoul said: Hanekawa trying to justify her dad hitting her was sad. ^This :( Hanekawa design was probably the least interesting to me, but I'm starting to see one of the reasons why she's so popular with this small glimpse of her other personality. |
| Only universe where being a nice guy equates to being a babe magnet. I do like how they're beginning to unravel Shinobu's past; so it turns out she isn't exactly "nothing" after all. Lastly, there's been a serious lack of Senjougahara for the past few episodes. One of these girls may make a move of she doesn't appear soon ;p |

| Omfg. I didn't know that neko is Hanekawa. And she's so beautiful. Holy shit. I loved everything about this episode. I miss Mayoi, though. I need more of her. And where on earth is Senjougahara? :/ I miss Araragi x Hitagi moments together. :3 Still not over the gorgeousness of Hanekawa when she's a cat. :p |

 |
| Damn so Hanekawa's stress caused her to bring on the Black Cat, which in turn caused her to hospitalize her parents, she then asked, or because of Shinobu, forgot what she did, was then placed with relatives as her replacement parents for a while, who she ended up absolutely hating, as well as they cause her so much stress and are so mean to her she might become the Black Cat again. Damn, that's some tough backwards ass shit that she, and probably Araragi, are going to have to deal with. |

| yawwwnnnnnnnnnnnn |
 |
on 
| 5/5 I feel that this new arc will have a greater focus on Hanazawa, and I'm also thinking that the main thing that will cause the anger of the neko will be the romance between Senjougahara and Araragi. Honestly, I did not like this new aperture, I preferred the previous one and, incidentally, what images were those of the woman's body? lol |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| I like Hanekawa's transformation into a cat. She was very weird at first, but I like her now. It seems that she have family issues. |

| I don't understand why Koyomi was wearing his middle school uniform. |
 |
| Araragi is like Kaneki with a gross mind. This time it's Hanekawa and she transform into cat. Shinobu is OP, we need more info of her power. I'm guessing in the first episode prologue that is the adult Shinobu. Deep down Hanekawa want to be with Araragi but she's too kind to steal Senjougahra's position. I guess Araragi suit well with Hanekawa, they will care each other. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Banger OP. Probably my favorite of the Bakemonogatari OPs. I dunno why, but I never get tired of Japanese people speaking like cats. It's just hilarious. A stress-based aberration, huh? Interesting. Didn't they say that vampires are the most powerful aberration, or is there something higher? I really hope we get some context between the whole Araragi vampire thing eventually because I'm still really confused what the fuck is going on there. |
| It was a nice episode and it went by pretty fast to me. A fella really does enjoy these OPs. "Sugar Sweet Nightmare" was my ringtone for a bit. Some great visuals in this one and Hanekawa and Araragi's interactions are wonderful. Again, since I'm re-watching I can appreciate the references and things that are mentioned |
| This was a good ep. Half of the ep. concerned the post-snake arc with Sengoku Nadeko. Looks like she is still half-embarrassed when Araragi-oniichan is around. But the big question is why she muttered and ran away the moment Tsubasa showed up. Anyway, the opening was something for itself. I am really glad the opening describes the arcs main characters personality. The song fits each time. This time we got an adventurous opening where the character wants to travel the world around and get a lot of traveling experience. The ep. was great too. I really loved the nyan transformation. It got to be (currently) the best transformation of an character. White Tsubasa looks so cute and dangerous at the same time, nyan >.<: Looks like once she get a headache she goes all out with the transformation. First I thought she had killed her parents (I guess they are the foster-parents), but I guess I was wrong since her foster parents are still alive. Apropos Tsubasa, I get the feeling like she is the type that has a crush on Araragi, but doesn't want to become a nuisance in Araragi & Senjougahara's relationship. So instead of standing up for herself, she rather gives tips how to how to improve the relationship. Poor girl, hopefully we will get a confirmation later on. Next ep. looks exciting. Seems like Tsubasa and Senjougahara is gonna meet, finally. |

abandoned2014 said: kkmaster1337 said: i cant put this episode into words but jaw dropping lol at sengoku's running away Wouldn't mind an explanation to Koyomi's actions between 10:10-10:50 also. I couldn't read the sign after that scene...The type was small, blurred and too light. You may need glasses. Nah, kidding. On the sign it's written: "There is a lot of problems with place you're protecting". I interpret it as a joke where this is the phrase in Araragi's mind that he want to use to see Sengoku's panties. xD My interpretation of that scene is his perv behaviour. He may want to touch Sengoku's hair and see her panties. You can clearly see it when he grab her skirt. But before he pull it up, he stop the temptation and pull back. That's why he says after that scene: "I feel like my manhood is being measured when I'm around you". Then again, this is only my interpretation of this particular scene. :) |

removed-user said: Contrary to what I though, Tsubasa Cat is not an arc that played in the past (because Hanekawa knew Oshino), so we might hope for more Senjogahara now. Araragi and Sengoku talking about Doraemon inside stuff was nice^^ Fabrice said: The way nadeko ran away....damn that was cute How she faced the traffic lights, lovely. I don't think it's been told about . I may be wrong, but I don't think this kind of information has been revealed. |

tr25a3 said: "My mother's husband's second wife is my current "mother", and her second husband is my current "father". My head is spinning. So her mother is gone, her "father" isn't her real father, so her mother remarried once. After the biological mother left, her "father" remarried and the woman he married was already married before, so it's the second marriage for all of them? Probably correct guessing. I came to the same conclusion. In other words she lives with foster parents where the father is violent type. |
| |
| Imagine turning into a cat because you had so much built up stress lol. So we get some more insight about Hanekawa's life, feel bad for her. I'm guessing there'll be more flashback scenes to when Koyomi first helped Hanekawa with this. |
 |
| After Renai Circulation, no op (in this season) could possibly top it, so this new op isn't my favorite, probably my least favorite out of all of them. That conversation with Nadeko was really interesting and fun to watch. Loved when they were talking about Doaermon's gadgets, and how Araragi reacted when Nadeko handed over the school swimsuit. One of my favorite things in this show is just how the characters will have conversations together. When Nadeko ran away, that as just adorable. It looks like Hanekawa already had an event in the series, so it looks like a prequel or something. Really interested to see how her arc will turn out. |
"Anime is trash... and so am I" |
on 
| i loved this episode but we only got to it like the last 9 mins or so..... anyway that was so sad how hanekawa was talking about her dad hitting her :( and you can tell araragi really cares about her :( looking forward to the rest of this arc!! i actually prefer this OP, but they are all great! yui horie did a great job as always with her VA |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Another interesting arc°_° I actually enjoyed this episode when they show Tsubasa back story it was very interesting. I also liked when Araragi and Nadeko met the way Nadeko smile and blush was really cute especially when Tsubasa show up and when Nadeko run my was like melting on cuteness^^ Looks like Araragi is cheating on Senjougahara lol. Anyway this episode was Interesting I actually loved it. |
 |
| looks like its the last arc, wasn't expecting that Hanekawa transformation. damn, Nadeko is so cute |
 |
| Nadeko is adorable as always. Damn, poor Tsubasa, acting perfect and making it seem like everything is ok when it's not. Tsubasa OP is pretty great, there's no way it's going to beat Renai Circulation lmao, but I think it's the second best OP. Finally, Senjougahara is back next episode. |
 |
| This episode focuses on Hanekawa damn she's getting abused by her "parents" I hope that she can overcome that problem of hers Nadeko is a schoolgirl uniform how cute, What's Araragi doing like is he even in control or is he out of his mind, That might be a sign of Hanekawa having the side effects of the abuse I feel bad for her I hope that it's only mild That was an interesting morph as Hanekawa turned into a cat or possessed as a cat and started attacking people but was shut down by Shinobu. |
  |
 This fuckin' face, haha.  Ahh, she's so cute.  Banger opening. |
 |
| Finally. 'Bout time they gave Hanekawa some attention. I thought she would be further down the line in Neko. It's so strange to see the girl who looks like she could advise even 80-yr olds try to justify her dad hitting her. The subs had me a bit confused about how the family tree but it's really kinda messed up if it's been this way since her childhood, it's understandable how this much stress was built up that required the oddity to go attack other people during the night. They say they solved the issue but unless the source of stress is dealt with, she's probably going to end up turning again. Unless talking with Arararagi relieves her. Also, the OP sucks, even without comparing it to Ren'ai. |
 |
| honestly not sure if i even like this anime so far. im hoping ill like others in the series? it just feels kinda stale. maybe its because i feel icky from the person who rec'd it to me years ago bc it was obvious he loved it for distasteful scenes. |

| Wow, so this is the black cat, she is very pretty but scary. But it was just his mistake. |
 |
| There are so many references here XD |
 |
| And so begin a new arc that revolves around Hanekawa the cat girl?! Sengoku and Araragi moments were kawaii albeit a bit creepy lol, also i feel bad for whatever Hanekawa is going through with her parents whole drama and the fact she's prob hiding her own suffering. The opening kinda slaps and might grow on me but who knows heh. |
