Monogatari Second Season – 08

「まよいキョンシー 其ノ貳」 (Mayoi Kyonshi/Jiangshi – So no Ni)

Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatteiru – 13 (END)

「だから、彼らの祭りは終わらない」 (Dakara, Karera no Matsuri wa Owaranai)
“And Their Festival Doesn’t End”

For a bonus episode, I’m a little ashamed to say that this may have been my favorite episode out of the whole season.
