Bakemonogatari

not be able to see Hachikuji

to be dead, and the reason why Aragi wasn't able to resolve his issues with his mother.

out Senjogahara and Aragi being their daughter from the future, (from that picture on the wall), but I guess not.

I believe episode 5 answers that question.


Yeah, my bad. I had only watched episode 3 once then and didn't remember her saying that she "had plenty of experience".


From my perspective, not lying = truth. So you can be sarcastic, malicious, snide, and/or cynical, and still be telling 'your truth'. In any case, I've already conceded the honesty point and decided that she simply speaks her mind, so whatever.


That's harsh. I think I've only heard Shinji get such a high level of dislike.


For a moment, I forgot it was Tsurayu who avoided [gg] like the plague, not you. Anyway, they can be trusted for things like this.

It did have but the "I LOVE YOU" complete with the finger-pointing gesture was still kinda unconvincing. Thanks to her very casual delivery, it didn't turn out to be as emotionally invoking as an actual confession should. I would have considered it a joke if not for the after-arc semi-intimate chat they had.

Also, it could have been that I was just so engrossed with Mayoi’s playfulness that I was rather caught off guard. Even the arc's major revelation, which shouldn’t really have been that surprising, shocked me.


Temperamental, as I would prefer it. I do feel somewhat guilty with what I’ve said there and I sincerely would very much like to retract that very statement that you had quoted, and nothing else.


I’m not one to avoid any sub group particularly one that’s very diligent. I meant it as a joke, from the fact that they do troll and tend to relieve stress (/have fun) at the expense of others’ humiliation. (anyway, what are the odds that they’ll release a fake episode 6 before this weekend is over?)

Btw, were koda and Kristen ever able to resolve their differences? (I don’t know and I don’t really care though)

"Should", huh? Considering Hitagi's character and how all forms of media love to play up/over-emphasize/exaggerate things like this, I like it how it is. I'm half-expected a comment from Hitagi mentioning how futile it is to declare your love of someone in high school when you're probably going to wind up breaking up anyway, only to have Araragi point out that that's exactly what she did, only to have Hitagi brush it off with another "crazy virgin/bad luck" line.


You must care, otherwise you wouldn't have asked. Anyway, I don't think so since Kristen hasn't been mentioned on koda's blog nor is she on any of the [gg]-related subbing teams at the moment.

:lol: I knew it sounded a bit presumptuous which may have caused the slight misconception.

It was never my intention to question or say that Hitagi’s overly emphasized, yet casual, confession was out of her character. I was merely expressing how I thought it was rather unbelievable to have had contained any sort of romantic sentiments, if not in meaning, to a certain degree of how the confession was delivered. It felt to me like just about any random kind of gesture that Haruhi would do. Well, I basically had the same reaction as Araragi; surprised/stunned/confused but not as much as to make a fuss out of it.

All in all, that’s just my personal opinion/feel on the matter and nothing that's neither crucial and having any sense of righteousness. (not that I’m an expert when it comes to real life confessions anyway) And for the record, it wasn't like I'm that opposed to it. I did like how it was done though it took more than just that scene/sequence to convince me that she honestly meant it.


It's a good thing to point out that not everything can be determined through simple usage/expression of words. It’s only natural/logical for you to see it otherwise simply because you’re not too familiar with the way that I think.

It was actually more of a rhetorical question than you conceived it was. Perhaps at the deepest part of my subconscious there exists curiosity. But like I said, I don’t really give a damn and my only real reason for bringing that up is to give you the idea that I know a few things about koda (in relation to gg). It was simply but a matter of choosing the format - in which I chose to be of a question, as it may prove to be more informative that way.
