Welp, so Senjougahara wants a date with Araragi.

I thought Ononoki is still pretty amusing to watch in this arc even though she's not the main focus. Araragi's reaction to Senjougahara driving for their date is so amusing. The drive itself was way longer than I had expected. I thought the character relationship between these two to be still very entertaining.

Very interesting to see Ougi appear again especially in Araragi's dream.

Ononoki fears Kiss Shot and wants to learn how to talk politely with her. That's something new and it feels like she's more human now. Glad to hear that Sengoku is doing better and Tsukihi is visiting her often.

Araragi's reaction to Senjougahara having a license was pretty funny.

Though there was a lot of driving but that's fine. I'm always amused by their conversations with each other.

Considering how much revelations happened in Mayoi Hell, I'm slightly underwhelmed by how little happened in this episode. However, seeing Senjougahara after so long, for a good length of time was enough for me to be entertained thoughout. Araragi and Senjougahara's bantering was always a major highlight in the series, so It was fun to see it in this episode. I laughed pretty hard when I realized that Araragi couldn't get a driver's license photo taken. Also, long hair Senjougahara... I guess she's wearing some time of hair extension. Oh well, there's one thing I can confirm from this episode. It seems that Araragi is indeed 100% human now. So that means he has no regenerative powers whatsoever. Also, it seems like Kiss-shot's in her normal appearance too. Also, Hanekawa finally found Oshino Meme. LMAO, that took forever.

It is so nice to have an episode centered around Senjougahara, it feels like she barely had any screen time for many seasons now.

That driving license...

So we are skipping episode 2? Or do we count each one as two episodes?
This doesn't make much sense if we take into consideration every other 40 minute special anywhere else on MAL.
Oh well.

That was a nostalgic ED. The end is near. Post-series depression incoming.

Such a great episode. Senjou wanting to go on a date with Araragi was so cute and funny. She's also got her drivers license to boot. Just them talking to one another about what they were going to do was a treat for me as I love both of these characters so much. <3

I just realized how few anime set in high school at all focus on getting a driver's license. Of course you have to be 18 to drive there, but I think it would make for an interesting focus. It's such a bigger part of a western (suburban/rural) high schooler's life.

Nice to finally focus on Senjougahara

I'm happy about the fact that the new season put light on Senjougahara and Hachikuji, my 2 favorite characters. But compliments aside, since the original composer of the Monogatari series, Satoru Kosaki, came back for Kizu and Koyomimonogatari, did he come back to compose the music for this season?

Oh, Hitagi's hair grew back rather quickly, didn't it? It was great to see her that way again. Nice to see Tsukihi as well. Surprised she didn't change her hair style this time, but I like it a lot that way.

The driving scene sure was something. Really nice connection with Ougi here.

The words dont are enough when talking about monogatari, everything is so beautiful and perfect that only remains to enjoy the work to the fullest, I can't say how much I love this anime, every character, script and scene leave me stunned, with a feeling that alone can be described in one word, love.

10/5



Eternal love for this great anime.

Mattegahara-san! xD

When did her hair even grow back? I don't even remember when was the last time we saw her... No wonder she couldn't remember what kind of character she was :> Anyway, I'm glad we get to see her beautiful long hair again!

Everything happened so quickly, I can't get used to the fact that Araragi isn't vampire anymore, and that Shinobu is back to her full form... It's all almost surreal.

I want one Ononoki doll as well~!

I loved everything this episode was!
I also feel like Hanekawa doesn't get enough recognition, i mean she found OSHINO!!

Overall I felt like shaft did their thing again when it came to mood, setting, and script. I always love seeing the high school graduation scenes and it brings a tear to my eye sometimes because I know they're graduating from everything that's happened to them throughout the years of their youth and that's sad to me lol.

I just can't get enough of the dialog between Koyomi and Senjo!

How did Senjougahara grow her hair into a braid in less than 24 hours?

Is the braid a fake, or was the short hair the day before (when she met Araragi in winter clothes) a fake?

Yes it's time for Senjougahara arc I really love how Senjougahara saying "Date me" when they are going on a date and the car scene was very entertaining.

So Hanekawa has finally found Oshino I got a feeling that Oshino is gonna get some screentime and so as Nadeko when Tsukihi mentioned that Nadeko is okay now at the hospital Im guessing she's coming back.

And Ougi has shown up again.

Finally Senjou is back! It's been so long. After 6 months of having not much screentime, well technically the stuff with Kaiki in Koimonongatari was probably within those 6 months, but we really haven't gotten Araragi and Senjnougahara together in a long while. I missed these 2's interactions. How'd Senjougahara grew her hair in a day lmao, unless those are like hair extensions. I like it, the old Hanekawa hairstyle. And within those 6 months, Senjou got a drivers license lmao.

That connection to Ougi at the end though was really great. Also the OP was so cute, that wink at the end fucking killed me.

Aww we got another date episode that was just so adorable. And Hanekawa has found Oshino Meme!

I loved how the connection between a space map and Ougi was made, with a space map being in the shape of a paper fan(ougi). Ougi plans to fight Gaen Izuko, can't wait to see how that plays out.

Senjougahara and Araragi going on a drive? Wtf. This is perfect. They're driving across the US interstate. Masterpiece. An anime waifu knows how to drive manual but I don't. Dang

Wow. Already the best season of the monogatari series.

Very nice Senjougahara OP. I'm glad to see she grew back her long hair. She looks hotter in it!
It's amusing whenever they break the 4th wall.

This episode is much appreciated if only because the franchise has really skimped on giving us much time together for Araragi and Senjyogahara, last time we saw them go on a date together was all the way back in the first show.

Senjyogahara's long hair is back with no explanation whatsoever. Never should have cut it in the first place so I'm glad its back, but LoL @ the total dismissal of any continuity whatsoever. Granted that's been the case with Tsukihi the entire time.

As much as Koyomi tries to cope and say how much he loves Senjougahara, I just don't believe him. It's kinda a sad blight on one of the best anime, but maybe my opinion will turn around, though I really doubt it.
