| OP song: Good start so far. The choreography and effort put into the episode along with the dialogues was good and I liked Ougi's personality by the way she talked to Araragi. For what's worth, the episode did a good job at characterizing the setting as well because of the mysterious classroom they are apart of. Impressive. |

Kerozinn said: i cant watch this stuff anymore..its mindnumbing like nothing else and really puts me to sleep. same reason i dropped the prequel. All about the dialogue :) |
| At first, this was confusing as fuck (as always) but in the second half everything got really interesting. Now episode 2 wuhuuu |
| Oooooooh man it's all unveiling. That was a great first episode. I'm really enjoyed the visuals in the intro and the classroom. The scene about Araragi losing his mind during the debate was well done. |
| very good first episode... I thought it was funny how Senjougahara had one line of dialogue. |
| I need sleep. |
| As expected it starts without me, still 3 eps monogatari series 2nd season, then hanamonogatari before i can get into this, might wait till its done airing but will wait to see how many interesting shows we have this season. |

| Ah just how I like my monogatari. Confusing as all hell. Great first episode. Happy it was an hour long. Got to learn about some of Araragi past. Sucks how they did Oikura. Even the teacher set her up. Can't blame Araragi for not wanting friends after that. Love how Ougi talks. I like how she rephrase almost everything she says as to break it down to your level. Dat ending was something. So after two years Oikura comes back. I wonder if she still hates Araragi? Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The use of majority rule, the way how Araragi described how almost everyone raised their hands up simultaneously, were all great stuff. The focus on self-interest, was done well. The most interesting thing about this episode was how Oikura came back when the teacher isn't there, more than something to look forward to. The mess of a debate depicted by the chairs and tables clashing randomly, yet coordinated was a splendid scene. |
 |
| Excellent first episode! Not a big fan of Ougi, but I fancy the way (s)he meddled with Araragi and helped him reach the conclusion of the incident from two years ago. Pretty neat stuff. Hanekawa without her glasses looked still just as great as ever! Sodachi's return was a bit unexpected, but it'd certainly get much more interesting from here on out.  EDIT: LOL at the 1/5 votes. |

| The AOTS has arrived! Always great to see more Durararagi :) |
| i think i've fallen in love with ougi oshino |
| Yay. 2 episodes. Starting to like Ougi, even though she(?) isn't really my favorite. Didn't like the opening. More dialogue :} |
| It's time you look inward and begin asking yourself the big question, "Who are you, and what do you want?" - Uncle Iroh |
| Ougi was pretty clingy this episode. Was kind of cute tbh. Still a really interesting character though, so I can't wait to see more of him/her. The mystery was intriguing and the visuals/music were very good as always. Felt a little bad for Oikura when the class voted her as the culprit. Great start to the season, and the ending was a nice set up for the next arc. Curious to see how Oikura will act around Araragi now. |

| A special? So this special is ep 1 + ep 2? I don't get it. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| The First English sub is out. |

| Awesome hour episode Was really confusing but was really interesting |

| This EPS is TOOOO GUD ! ! ! |
| Kicking off this new season of Monogatari with a tense mystery episode. Can't wait to see how the rest of this season plays out, especially with Sodachi's return at the end of this episode. |

DGH said: the monogatari series has always been a simple spirit detective series. its seems that people up to this point still hasnt realized that its just araragi helping out those who have been plagued by apparitions. its like natsume book of friends or mushishi except its a bit more exciting as well as being written in such a creative manner. Friend: So i hear you watch anime, what do you watch? Me: Well right now i am watching Owarimonogatari. Friend: Sounds great, what is it about? Me: I don´t know. idk why it would be hard for u to define what monogatari is. |
| AOTS/AOTY is finally here! Can't wait to see what this season has in store. |
| Theory! Sodachi Oikura was stuck in her house for 2 years the way Araragi and Ougi were stuck in that classroom for about 40 minutes or so. |

Both parts of Otsugi Formula aired as episode 1, but every part after that will get its own. This spreadsheet should make it less confusing. |

| I missed the Monogatari so much that seeing it again makes me feel really good. That wacky and psychedelic atmosphere is what make the Monogataris what they are. Bravo again, Shaft. Ougi is a very strange character for me. For one part, I find her (or him?) a bit cute and I love her (his?) voice, is very captivating and is good capturing your attention. In another hand, (s)he can be very creepy and scary (especially in close ups), and those eyes... I love how Araragi recounted that incident, his reflexion about how is decided what correct in this society (thing that I found accurate in some ways) and his change of personality since that event. I feel really bad for Oikura AKA Oika AKA How Much AKA new member of Arararagi's harem when the class voted her as the culprit. She is cute and I like her voice and hairstyle. That teacher was a bitch, btw. The small cameos of Kanbaru, Senjougahara and Hanekawa were good (I love Hanekawa with short hair :3), and it seems that Oikura have returned to Araragi's school. We will see how the things turn out the next week. For being a long episode, I found it very livable. The openings and the ending are very good, as always. I love the drawings of the Monogatari's endings. |
 |
| What an evil teacher! Strange for Araragi to not don his shining armour and run after poor Sodachi. Guess the experience's helped him grow. Ougi rocks. Can't fathom her. him. |
 |
| One of the few series that could make an episode filled with dialogue simply astonishing. |
 |
| Man I'd missed this. I love how creepy Ougi is. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Its good to see this series again. I love being immersed in the mystery and Shaft's animation again. Ougi is also quite the character I want to know more about. |
 |
| Ougi's so creepy yet so friggin cute. I'm loving her more and more <3 Nearing best girl status Well not including Shinobu :P Loving the interactions so much. The way Ougi just keeps hugging Koyomi from behind is so cute. And her voice is so good. OP was lots of fun too |
 |
| I'm confused that there was 2 episodes but what I want to know is if the second part was actually the second episode or just part of the extended episode 1. It would mean we would have to wait 2 weeks until the actual next episode. The second part was a direct extension on the first, despite the fact that episode 2 is supposed to be a different arc, Sodachi Riddle which suggests it wasn't the actual second episode but idk. Side note, will the arcs Mayoi Hell, Hitagi rendezvous and Ougi Lost (Owarimonogatari Gekan) appear in this season? Because the episode names suggest they won't. Will they just add them to Zoku Owarimonogatari instead? Idk. Good episode(s), OP & ED. I look forward to whatever / whenever the next episode may be. |
Great start. As a math nerd, the intro was pure porn for my ears and eyes. +1 for Euler's Identity. Loved the OP and soundtrack. I found it a little overwhelming at times. There was so much going on with the visuals and conversations. I really had to focus to keep up with it all. It was nice how the color theme changed with the tone of the story. Shinbou is a very talented director. 5/5 |
| After all those disappointing anime, this just made my day (and the Kizu announcement). 5/5 |
 |
| Really nice to have it back :D Ougi as good as ever |
nnnik said: I think I might watch this episode more that once. I didn't really understand the part about Eulers Rule (or whatever the name may be). I'm going to look that up and try to understand it. I kinda know about imaginary number like route(-1). |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| I think this episode should have been split into 2 episodes, i feel that there's not much suspense if they solve it 3 minutes after araragi-senpai tells the story >_> 4/5 Btw, Euler's Formula <3 linternboy said: Infatuate said: A special? So this special is ep 1 + ep 2? I don't get it. Episodes 1 and 2 aired as a 1 hour special. No, this is only 1 episode: http://myanimelist.net/anime/31181/Owarimonogatari/episode If you count this as 2 episodes, you'll end with 13 episodes in the end of the season. [/quote] nnnik said: I think I might watch this episode more that once. I didn't really understand the part about Eulers Rule (or whatever the name may be). I'm going to look that up and try to understand it. e^(i x) = cos(x) + i sin(x) Since x = pi, we have that e^(i pi) = cos(pi) + i sin(pi) = -1 + i 0 for cos(pi) = -1 sin(pi) = 0 So, e^(i pi) = -1, or: e^(i pi) + 1 = 0 |

| Great first episode, love their conversation on Euler's identity, the OP and ED were both excellent, amazing dialogue and atmosphere, as expected with Monogatari. 5/5 |

| Ougi was a little too touchy-feely this episode...like a snake wrapping it around it's prey. The Monogatari series never fails to leave a profound feeling with the end of each story. We witnessed something false become the truth, so long as enough people believe it to be so. And with the real truth finally revealed from 2 years ago, the sour feeling left in Araragi's heart is dispelled, at the same time Oikura returns to school, as if finding out the real truth freed not only Araragi's feeling of guilt for lack of a better work, but also Oikura's karma due to her own hubris. I'm not even mad that they animated things out of order. I'm happy this series is being animated at all. I missed this surreal atmosphere that really racked my brain. Looking forward to what's in store next episode. |
| greatest anime of the season. Nisioisin saves the fucking year again. All hail his majesty. |

| Amazing. |
