Monogatari SS - 5 - End of Nekomonogatari Shiro

OH. MY. GOD. This was probably the best of anything else I've seen this season. I should say, before reading any further make sure you go watch this episode, because its worth seeing spoiler-free. With this episode we have the amazing conclusion to Nekomonogatari Shiro, and the return of our main character Koyomi Araragi. As well as that, we have the final main developments of Hanekawa's character and the truth behind Kako.

Monogatari SS - 4

"What? You're not watching monogatari? What's wrong with you?"

Probably the best episode of this season so far. Things will most definitely be hitting their climax with this arc in the next episode, and a lot of things will be explained. We're getting a lot of cool contrasts in this episode, again to do with Hanekawa's point of view.

Theres a fair amount in this episode, and some of my suspicions from last week have all but been confirmed. Excitement!

Monogatari SS - 2

OH BOY! The best time of the week is already here, and damn is it good. Nekomonogatari Shiro is starting to heat up, as with this episode we see more of the strange tiger apparition from last time. Its intentions so far seem unclear, but it definitely has something to do with the fact that Hanekawa saw it last episode. Oh, and speaking of Hanekawa, that strange chapter-skipping going on? Well, if you haven't guessed already, there's a good reason for that, which is...

Monogatari Second Season - 1

Get hype because it's here. Monogatari SS (or Nekomonogatari Shiro) has finally dropped and my god is it glorious. I probably don't need to mention that the monogatari series is close to being my favourite anime of all time, so I apologize in advance that this will be less of a review of the series, and more of a fanboying out over the series. Anyway, let's continue shall we?
