(L) Monogatari Series Light Novel discussion

Question

Spoiler for Koyomimonogatari:

About the last part of Koyomimonogatari, does it mention anything about what happen to Shinobu? If there bond is really broken then does it mean Shinobu has become Kissshot once again?

[DorkingtonPugsly]

I hope they make the part with Oshino's letter in Kabuki, magical. Actually I don't hope, they better do so.

[ndqanh_vn]

So I was reading Koi, and I thought it is very good due to Kaiki. (Koi is almost completely translated to my native language) Actually I have been interested in him after Nise and this just completely enhances my good impression of him as a character.

May anyone spoil me about whether anything got mentioned about what happened to Kaiki after the event of Koi.

I knew he was attacked and lost conscious, but I cannot find any spoiler about his later activities. He's not the main char, Oshino, or one of those girls in Araragi harem anyways.

He appears again in Hanamonogatari. He got new teeth, but I think that was about it.

[Bakaizer]

the shower scene between hanekawa and senjougahara is clearly defined but what about araragi and senjougahara scenes, not clear

My thinking exactly.

If you are focusing on the Monogatari Series Second Season, we haven't even saw Araragi yet.

What I think nikohowell was trying to say is: here we got TsubasaxHitagi shower scene (only briefly mentioned in the novel), why can't we get the same for ArararagixHitagi scene at the end of Karen Bee?

I see what you mean.
Well, I was more thinking that he/she meant the scene on the start of Bakemono, where Hitagi had a shower and Ararararararagi (Sorry, I slipped :P) was all scared of seeing her naked (Lucky bastard ).

In any way, thanks for sharing.

well, implied sex scenes are only allowed in h-series, and this is not an h-series, plus it's adapted from a ln, and in the ln it was only impied. as for the hitagi/tsubasa it's mentioned more, though it's still vague.

tl;dr: japan's censorship laws is the main deal.

[zarqu]

Implied sex is certainly "allowed". Showing an actual sex scene is trickier because of censorship. I think pixelation might break the immersion too much Anyway, sex scenes have been done without showing too much (see Yosuga no Sora, Aki Sora).

[ultimate_noob]

Anime website still has no updates on gaen and episode which should be appearing on the next episode hours from now.

Can they cut them out?? I know the two are important in neko white but the story can move without those two right??

Impossible, both characters r actually important to the plot. Maybe episode 5?

[Shikijin]

Implied sex is only implied. At least Hanekawa confirmed they had a shower.

[omimon]

You know, after episode 4 and seeing Mamaragi, I realized that we'll actually see a lot of the characters' parents.

Mayoi's parents
Kanbaru's mom
Nadeko's parents

[ultimate_noob]

Calling it. Since mamaragi looks a lot like ononoki.

Mayoidad - araragi
Mayoimom - gahara
(based on mayoi snail anime)

Nadedad - meme
Nademom - shinobu
(with brown hair)

Kanbaru's mom (what was her name again?) probably looks like hanekawa.

See I was actually hoping that Kanbaru's mom to look like Gahara since it'll somewhat go along with Kaiki's kindness to Gahara and Kanbaru's love.

[Romanticide]

lol i doubt any of the mom's will look like shinobu. this is shinobu we're talking about. her looks are not like someone native of japan.

From what I gather, Ougi Formula will be published in a shounen magazine in three chapters, but it will still be part of Owarimonogatari. The shounen magazine will just receive a preview of the book.

It's about the first encounter between Ougi and Araragi, and it is a mystery story that can be enjoyed even by people who didn't read the other books.
