Monogatari Second Season – 03

By Takaii July 20, 2013

(Tsubasa Taiga So no Ni)
"Tsubasa Tiger - Part Three"

After last week's rather boring episode that was sprinkled with a little bit of fan service for all the Hanekawa x Senjougahara fans, this third episode does justice to the phrase "give each new series at least three episodes".

- (Tsubasa Taiga - So no Ni)
"Tsubasa Tiger - Part Two"

Even though there was a distinct lack of Araragi in this second episode, I have to hand it to SHAFT for never letting my focus stray. Because even before I started to watch, I was afraid I'd be bombarded with a bunch of dialogue with nothing fancy to back it up.

There's nothing quite like Monogatari.

"Tsubasa Family Part One Four"

Like Hanekawa Tsubasa, I dont know everything; I just know what I know. And what I know is that Nekomonogatari (Kuro) is another tale greater than the sum of its parts.

Bakemonogatari – Complete Music Works Songs & Soundtracks Disc 1

By Moomba July 19, 2012

This time around, I'll be focusing on a soundtrack by Kousaki Satoru, a member of MONACA - a specialised music outsourcing studio notable for working on things such as the recently concluded Haiyore! Nyaruko-san and the brilliant soundtrack to Nier. As for Kousaki himself, his notable works include Haruhi (all three series), Kannagi and of course, the entire Monogatari series to date.

Warning: Potential spoilers. Probably.

「つきひフェニックス其ノ參」 (Tsukihi Fenikkusu Sono Yon)
"Tsukihi Phoenix Part Four"

True to Nisemonogatari fashion, this final arc was resolved not with fists, but with words – like the question, "What is the value of a fake?"

「つきひフェニックス其ノ參」 (Tsukihi Fenikkusu Sono San)
"Tsukihi Phoenix Part Three"

In this penultimate episode, we learn that just about everything in Araragi’s life has turned out to be a fake - even his own sister turns out to be an imposter. NisiOisiN wasn’t kidding around when he named this installment in the Monogatari series – there are falsehoods and fakes in every nook and cranny of the story. At least the donuts are still real!

「つきひフェニックス其ノ貳」 (Tsukihi Fenikkusu Sono Ni)
"Tsukihi Phoenix Part Two"

Still no sign of Tsukihi or a phoenix, but an amagami, some nishishishis, and two new mysterious and dangerous strangers go a long way towards making up for it – I said, with a posed look.

「かれんビー其ノ漆」 (Karen Bii Sono Nana)
"Karen Bee Part Seven"

This finale to Karen’s arc was filled with plenty of action, but instead of it being completely of the wordplay variety, there was actually a good old fashioned brawl too – just not between whom I expected it to be.
