Bakemonogatari

I am about two or so weeks late on this but I don’t really care. I seriously can’t get over how they decided to end the TV series (episode 12). This series has been so good. I thought that they would have continued on with the Tsubasa Cat arc but this was really a surprise.

Opening Credits

Awkward to be with your girlfriend’s parent.  Driving to your destination.

Suggesting something here.

And the father speaks.. I personally thought this was very nice scene.

?!

Some good old guy talk.  Father approves of Araragi.

Like any normal guy, he blanks out after a while.  Remembering the things they went through.  So touching.  Really.

She lays out her cards on the table.

Typical anime guy moment to be speechless at this pont.

And she’s all in.

Dawww…

She is so socially awkward.

I loved the under the stars scene. It was such a heart warming moment. I also enjoyed the ending song even more because it fit so well with just happened and it made a lot of sense to use this song. It was an excellent way to end the TV series.

Now to wait for the web episodes at the end of the month. I would expect that they would finish off the Tsubasa Cat arc and possible do the Koyomi Vamp arc. I really hope they don’t ruin it by putting a beach episode or something.
