Well, it truly feels like Monogatari is back. It's almost unreal how every VA picked up where they left off like it was just the other day.
Hachikuji's exchange with Shinobu was golden too.
What do you all think abou the episode?
what a cliffhanger honestly!! i'm so close to just reading the novels atp i don't know whether i can handle waiting another week, and then another week, and then....
i don't fully buy the idea that he went to heaven, but seeing princess acerola there makes me think that maybe she (the human) actually died when DVS made her into a vampire if that makes sense? so by extension, could shinobu have actually killed koyomi the human and not the vampire part? if you remember last time, gaen was the one that killed araragi which is when he was sent to hell for comitting the sin of being a vampire or wtv (it's been a while). this time however it was shinobu that killed koyomi, and considering they're two parts of the same person essentially, she couldn't actually fully kill him as an apparition?
i'm just rambling i don't have any clue as to what this would mean plot wise. either way, i really love the episodes that can just let you think about stuff after it ends.
it's a given at this point that the episode is a banger, 10 episodes in and every episode has been kino. loved seeing shinobu and hachikuji again after what feels like forever.
