EPISODE REVIEWS

The conflict involving Shinobu's servants has come to an end, though I was expecting a longer battle. Still, it was an emotional farewell, providing a satisfying conclusion to this season—the second half of which was my favorite.

The conflict with the first minion has ended in an interesting way. All's well ends well even Shinobu who finally admits her feelings towards the first minion. Once again, another arc ended Araragi is showing progress in terms of his growth in maturity.

That did not go as expected, but admittedly, that was quite intense. I think it's my fault for assuming it might stray a little from the direction it took in the first half, but I guess we are in a situation where "if it isn't broken, why fix it?" However, I did enjoy the show's serious discussion about the nature of relationships and the responsibility each person has in keeping them strong and healthy. I think that part was handled really well. If you prefer a show like that, with a weird art style just to hammer it home, this is a must-watch for you.
