「しのぶタイム其ノ肆」 (Shinobu Taimu So no Shi)
“Shinobu Time Part Four”

“I may be gone, but that won’t mean I was never here to begin with”

“Shinobu Time Part Three”

I totally agree with Araragi about the whole “fondling” notion. If it’s not 1 on 1, it’s just not worth it!

“Shinobu Time Part Two”

Pushing forward with last week’s momentum, the second episode of Shinobu’s arc doesn’t disappoint at all. With the story slowing down a bit, we got a very in-depth look into just what kind of person Shinbou was back when she was Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade.

This week’s episode was a pleasant reminder that SHAFT really knows how to reel us back in after traumatizing us.

「Nadeko Meduusa So no Yon」 (なでこメドゥーサ其ノ肆)
“Nadeko Medusa Part Four”

So after four episodes, what do we get?

“Nadeko Medusa Part Three”

After watching this week’s episode, I have to say that Hanazawa Kana (the voice actress for the lovable Sengoku) could probably make a pretty darn good villain.

“Nadeko Medusa Part Two”

Continuing from last week’s awesome start, it seems like the story is going to take the time to slow down and really wrap itself around us.

“Nadeko Medsua Part One”

Quick disclaimer – this is not a double post. Last week’s episode was another recap episode detailing what had already happened to Sengoku and due to a stressful week I decided not to cover it. But seeing how SHAFT still numbers the recap episodes, I thought it would be smart to keep things accurate. More after the jump!

“Mayoi Jiangshi – Part Four”

For the end of Hachikuji’s arc, there was surprisingly very little Hachikuji.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this emotionally attached to anything related to the Monogatari series.
