This episode reveals a little more about Oikura's past: a sad and cruel story, in which yet another mystery emerges to be solved. It's not bad, but it doesn't particularly stand out either; it simply offers a couple of answers and details that I hope will prove relevant later on.

Once again Shaft is able to use the obscure storyboarding and imagery to portray the psychological parts of the story especially when it comes to expressing the emotions of the characters. Oikura is the perfect example of an extremely mentally illed and honestly even I can't relate to her in terms of the level of nihilism. Not only that, this episode also highlights how much Araragi has grown compared to the start of the series. His maturity is very satisfying to watch indeed.

Well, that was one rollercoaster ride of emotions, considering how much this episode shifts from humorous to ominous at a moment's notice. There are literally death flags that any anime fan can readily identify, which later turned out to be, misdirections? Yeah, at this juncture, it seems to be trying to subvert the expectations of its viewers, but I'm not one to complain, though. It was quite a watch, and I'm curious to see what comes next.
