がんばルビ!
Just popping in to say that this arc still exemplifies Bakemono for me, just because whenever I think of Bakemono, the first thing that comes to mind is always Araragi and Senjougahara having their conversations in that playground.

I was conflicted the first time I saw this actually since I still wasn't quite sure what to make of the show. It wasn't till rewatching a couple months ago, and actually finishing the season with the ONAs which I never saw since they were delayed forever that I basically realized that I really like the bantering in the show.

I think this arc or shortly after is about where I stopped the first time.

Also getting used to Nisio's writing style after reading Medaka Box and watching Katanagatari, that I basically had a better idea of how to watch Bakemono

This was turning into a really emotional scene, and then that fight recreation happened.

Ah. Of course. We knew from the beginning that she couldn't have been the snail's victim, because she claimed to want to go home.

Wait.


Hanekawa saw her. She spoke directly to her, didn't she?

Senjougahara never spoke to her. All her statements were indirect. This show loves clever use of dialogue.

Yes, but araragi touches on that. Hanekawa is also avoiding going home.

Her first conversation with araragi was a test, did he help her for a profit, did he help her for a reward, is he the type to take advantage of a debt. The second conversation was flirting.

This show's okay. Needs less child-groping. Katanagatari's better.
