I don't know if you caught my earlier post but I did finish it, god the first time everyone did the kenshiro face I just couldn't stop laughing.

just hope the mangaka's current work doesn't get too caught up in its seriousness and has its own brand of silliness.

Doesn't Hanakawa only start developing feelings for Araragi after he starts going ouot with Senjougahara? It felt more like Araragi liked Hanakawa in a physical sense which he confused for love until he actually met Senjougahara who he truly does care about. His relationship with Hanakawa is more about respect and guilt at that point. Then Hanakawa who has lost the person who idolized her suddenly becomes infatuated with him. She's so messed up at that point that she clings to whatever delusion she can. After the tsubasa tiger she realizes she needs to figure out who she is on her own and the whole crush on Araragi dissipates.

What I'm slightly confused about is why Senjougahara idolizes her so much. Did she think that becoming more like Hanakawa would make Araragi like her more? I just want long hair Senjougahara back

Gahara-san's relationship with Hanekawa isn't particularly complicated. Former is after the latter's boobs, also for a while was under the latter's instructions to fix her personality. By that I mean she probably just used keigo and slowly remembered how it works to interact with other people without resorting to staplers. The one who actually idolizes Hanekawa would be Araragi. Gahara-san definitely doesn't think that becoming more like Hanekawa is the way to go, but she has a complex toward Hanekawa for the high level of priority she holds in Araragi's mind. So she can't really help herself but to be conscious about it and kind of imitate Hanekawa. btw her hair in s3 became braided, kind of like Hanekawa's original hairdo.

As for Araragi and Hanekawa, eh. I don't think that it was a purely physical thing for him with that crush, but even then he sorted it out himself rather quickly and gave up on the idea. All that before Hanekawa felt a thing for him. So that ship never went anywhere.

For the first bolded part. Idk IIRC Hanekawa was already inlove with araragi the first he saw araragi vs some other during the Kizumonogatari arc right ? it was explained a little on some part of the show that i can't remember

That entire part with Gahara-san talking about Nadeko in neko shiro was meta.


Nope. Where the fuck did you get that idea?

Some episode around 12-15 in bakemonogatari i think. It was the scene where a flashback to the past(that was the kizumonogatari arc i was talking about) more like a sneak peek to it. Where the monologue at that time was hanekawa saw araragi like some prince or something. And hanekawa's cat personality was talking about it.

Anybody remember that scene ? it was when hanekawa was secretly looking at the fight.

And it was somewhere bakemonogatari ep 12-15 i think. It's not kizumonogatari(if kizumonogatari is the arc where araragi turns into a vamp) since it's not out yet but it was some kind of part of the arc being shown unto bakemonogatari.

Gosh my memory of monogatari is foggy. I have to rewatch the show again.

I don't think she ever considered anyone besides Hanekawa a real "threat". Sure she was pissed at him playing around with all kinds of girls but Hanekawa was the only one that made me feel like she's actually scared about him being with her.

No idea what to make of Shinobu and his relationship with her, as well as Senjyougahara's perception of said relationship. That's kind of a special thing all in itself.

was @goody above.

I don't remember that scene from the anime but that should be the scene where she's about + Show Spoiler +, right?
If it is, and your description does sound like you're talking about that scene +/- a bit before and afterwards I don't really think she thought of him as a prince at that time at all.
More like "wtf is going on" and maybe a little "I need to help him" and a little of bit of trying to figure out what's happening.

Her thinking in parts of Kizu made me think that she did like him. Some parts with her were just weird tho, like that scene in the gym storage room. Its been a really long time since I read Kizu tho.

I know that shinobu is sort of inlove with araragi(i mean who isn't it's a harem anyways except kanbaru of course) but i think she doesn't mind if Senjougahara is the lover maybe as long as she can retain that weird relationship with koyomi. They seem to ignore each other.

Do we have any idea what the fuck Ougi is? She/He obviously isn't really Oshino's niece, and doesn't even appear to be human from the looks of them. Has anything been revealed in the novels yet? And where could Oshino have gone? Will he come back?

'messed up' is an awful way to put it imo
she cuts off parts of herself that she either considers to be 'toxic' or problematic so that she doesn't have to deal with them. I can't see how compartmentalizing a part of your personality you dislike is fucked up in any way. it just displays a desire to become a better person, and everyone does it, though not to the extremes that hanekawa takes it.

I don't think she's out of her mind at all and it's kind of ridiculous to say that any decisions derived from her remaining feelings aren't genuine and should be discarded.

Huge spoilers but yes, Ougi has been revealed. Oshino's location has been revealed. + Show Spoiler [Owarimonogatari part 3] +

Except that isn't all that she did, cue the entire discussion with Gahara-san during neko shiro over breakfast and food flavors. Reread that and come back. The kizu and neko kuro Hanekawa isn't any better than Araragi, who is at best a self-martyring idiot who acts entirely on impulse without thinking about the consequences. Except you have that topped up with her so called desire to act in a right manner. Leading to the actions in kizu that can't be called anything short of insane. There isn't something like love at first sight at Kizu. She saw a wounded Araragi and helped him, without having any feelings for him other than the fact that it is what a good person would do in such a situation. She kind of tries to change a bit, but in reality that's all she ever does until she worked out her issues in neko shiro. So no, I can't consider anything that she did before neko shiro to be worth a damn.
