Loli overload. Gaen finally makes another appearance. I missed her.

The recent leaks are getting rampant, huh. JP producers needs to do something about it.

[shinyaNakagawa]

This is the episode I love in Oni anime so far.

[omimon]

Can someone explain to me how the episode was leaked? Did some hacker hacked into shit or a special event happened or what?

A guy was bored, leaked kill la kill, copellion and monogatari because they found a software to do so.
This is a post from 4chan from the leaker

I was the one who leaked it
It's from Daisuki. I developed a tool to get the next episodes a few days ago, but I only could get the subtitles from them until today. 512p is the max resolution from Daisuki, there are even lower.

Expect Magi S2 to be "leaked" too

The leaker from madman entertainment might be another person but they sure have a connection with each other.

[Altima of the Gates]

Tsk tsk. This is the kind of stuff that ruins nice things for everyone.

Anyway, the episode itself wasn't bad, the trio of Hachikuji/Ononoki/Shinobu really has quite the impact. Araragi can't really talk himself out of his...preferences here.

Spoiler:

And hey, Gaen appears again. And as she said, almost as if she was waiting for them to arrive...

[Kanon]

This story should be renamed Lolimonogatari. That pervert Araragi was in heaven in this episode. He's so shameless, hitting on three lolis at once...

I'm afraid that something will be to delay or even cancel simulcasts. I'm sure they must be quite mad.

[DorkingtonPugsly]

Everything was solid... ... ...
Except for the fact that the art was piss poor in a lot shots, but that's not really a problem since it'll be fixed.
And Gaen, making me warm and fuzzy, who are you to do that to me.

[Snuffle]

Aw man... my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much while watching this episode.

I'm really glad to see Mayoi finally making some friends, I've always thought of her as someone that was always alone with the exception of Araragi to talk to.

When Araragi said "more importantly" to change the subject my first thought was "what do you mean more importantly?" And there was Ononoki to do exactly what I was hoping to happen, don't change the topic!

Anyway, that's a tough question, which loli do you like the most Araragi? I personally put Ononoki last out of the three. But between Mayoi and Shinobu.... that's a damn tough one.

Random thought: I noticed Shinobu was diving into not only Araragi's shadow but Mayoi's as well, is that possible? Could she be trapped in Mayoi's shadow now?

9/10

[DevilBlaze]

I hate to say this but....I am not liking the onimono arc at all.

My favorite part of this episode was when Gaen showed up, everything else was way to creepy for me. (The lolicon stuff just isn't for me).

I hope the next episode has lots more gaen cause she is awesome imo.

[HandofFate]

Great fun episode.
Also its nice being able to finally find out what was araragi doing in the first arc on this whole season during the cat arc with the text, and why shinobu was separated.

[Garnered]

I loved this episode! Shinobu and Mayoi <3...
Concerning about Shinobu's whereabouts, I think she's safely at Araragi's house, remember this story is happening whilst Hanekawa's tiger story is also happening, so I'm guessing Shinobu is safely hidden at Araragi household. They'll reconnect with the help of Black Hanekawa giving information to Shinobu that Araragi and Kanbaru are off meeting at the old school.

[blakstealth]

Gaen has so much swag. Ah, she's so awesome.

The ED animation seems to suggest there's a connection between Mayoi and Shinobu. Somehow, I doubt that's a coincidence.

So now we finally get to see what exactly Gaen knows. I wonder what that darkness is supposed to be and why it seems to be after Shinobu.

You remember that all these "lolis" have at least double the age of the "lolicon"

Oh well, let's see the positive side, we'll get more translations and better distribution as was the case before those simulcasts.

[monir]

I want to take so many screenshots of the trio from this episode.....
