[Anime] Owarimonogatari

First episode felt more visually on par with S1 and not S2 which I thought was disjointed in comparison.

I do think that this episode was a little bit convoluted but that might be because I was trying to find any leeway in the story in which Ougi could have fabricated on her own to suit her personal agenda. Human memories can be altered by narrative accounts and therefor Ougi could have shaped Ararargi's perception of the past by suggesting a more pleasant lie that can substitute the truth. And because of that, Ougi is a very suspicion person.

Ougi still gives of a ominous vibe to her, almost sinister. I know that she is similar to Izaya, in that she likes to manipulate people and scheming up events that produces chaos. For example, by luring ararargi in the phantom classroom. I know she also had a similar role during S2 when she caused Snail's death indirectly.

Hoping to see more character development for Ougi, newgirl and Araragi. Especially Ougi, as we know nothing of her.

edit* This scene strengthen my argument
edit* Actual spoiler about Ougi. Don't read it!
Ougi is an aberration that Araragi subconsciously created to keep things interesting for himself. It is just doing what is in its nature, not scheming, and it's not like Araragi isn't the one inherently at fault for anything it causes.
edit* Oikura without O becomes Ikura which means "how much" in japanese. Euler's identity:

Excited for the rest of Owarimonogatari and wherever it leads (although I have spoiled myself on the whole series, I will just forget about that, or rather I just will not think about it).

The entire episode included the same amount of fast cuts as Bake did. Loving it. All the different close ups on How Much were well made except with some few QUALITY moments. And the intensity of the scene was overwhelming. Thank god for Hitagi saving the day.

There's no clear reason why How Much hates Arararagi so much yet, from what I'm reading at /a/, it seems like that will be answered in the next episode.

The lockers changing colors was a nice touch but became a nuisance quickly.

Rest of the episode was alright. Ougi is still tricking Arararagi as per usual.

I like the inclusion of Monty Hall's riddle. It's also correct that switching doors is the wisest decision as it boosts the likelihood of you picking the correct door by 33% percent.

Everything I've been spoiled on /a/ was covered or at least hinted on.

Also as Hanekawa showed, Ougi's version isn't perfect, so her entire reasoning might be fabricated.
