Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino’s time travel adventure begins, with the two arriving eleven years into the past. Let’s see where things go from here!
Kabukimonogatari – Mayoi Jiangshi, Part Two
Category: Monogatari Series
Kabukimonogatari – Mayoi Jiangshi, Part One
All right, let’s continue on with the next arc: Mayoi Jiangshi.
I wasn’t sure what Jiangshi meant, or where it came from, so I looked it up, using the katakana we get in the episode. Not that I don’t trust the translation, but may as well search the source. And I was curious why it’s titled “Mayoi Kyonshi” (まよいキョンシー) but the translation is Mayoi Jiangshi.
Long story short, キョンシー is the Japanese word for the Chinese word, jiangshi, which is a “Chinese hopping vampire; reanimated corpse in Chinese legends and folklore”. Needless to say, this arc may or may not have something to do with Mayoi, her death, and hopping. Although probably not the same kind of hopping as in the original legends…
Nekomonogatari: Shiro – Tsubasa Tiger, Part Five
Tsubasa Tiger finale time.
After a little soul searching, it seems Tsubasa Hanekawa has finally found the answer to her Tiger problem.
Nekomonogatari: Shiro – Tsubasa Tiger, Part Four
Last episode, we were given Tsubasa Hanekawa’s predicament: something is causing Black Hanekawa to emerge once again. But what?
In addition, the abandoned cram school had burned down.
Was it the Tiger’s doing?
Nekomonogatari: Shiro – Tsubasa Tiger, Part Three
Tsubasa Hanekawa saw a Tiger.
And so her story continues.
Nekomonogatari: Shiro – Tsubasa Tiger, Part Two
We continue following the story of Tsubasa Hanekawa.
Her family’s home has burned down, and after spending a night at the abandoned cram school, Hitagi Senjougahara found her and took her in, where the two proceeded to go to sleep despite it being morning.
Nekomonogatari: Shiro – Tsubasa Tiger, Part One
From one Nekomonogatari to the next!
Here we are with Tsubasa Tiger, which for me personally is one of the most memorable arcs in the Monogatari Series, as it’s the only one is told from Tsubasa Hanekawa’s perspective. And it’s one of the few that is not told from Koyomi Araragi’s perspective.
Nekomonogatari: Kuro Episode 4 – Tsubasa Family, Part Four
This is it, the conclusion for Tsubasa Family as well as Nekomonogatari: Kuro. A lot happens here, so hopefully I’ll be able to cover most of it.
Nekomonogatari: Kuro Episode 3 – Tsubasa Family, Part Three
Tsubasa Hanekawa has been taken over by a cat.
After nearly killing Koyomi Araragi, Meme Oshino has decided to step in and take responsibility for dealing with this development himself.
Nekomonogatari: Kuro Episode 2 – Tsubasa Family, Part Two
We continue through the motions of the story that was already covered in Bakemonogatari, with more detail this time. Tsubasa Hanekawa has revealed that her parents are not really her parents, and that her dad had hit her. And now it gets worse…
