Who would have thought we get to actually see a parent's face?

Gaen is super moe!!

BTW Mamaragi looks exceptional alike to Yotsugi.

[Romanticide]

Feels like it's been forever since I last heard Orikasa Ai in an anime. :3

[DorkingtonPugsly]

I like how the two turned out, both voice wise and look wise. Very nice, kinda what I had in mind. Now onto the finale!

That's what I thought too when the last shot of her showed the full face.

Are you positive that the next episode is the final of the arc?

Not to mention a parent's head tilt

[Clarste]

I was expecting them to keep her slightly out of frame like they did for Senjougahara's dad.

I think they were making fun of the cliche.

Spoiler for Fire Sisters:

Just like Big Brother!

I already knew that will be their answer, but still for some reason I laughed so hard.

It was nice to actually see some new characters as well, like Araragi's mother(although it seems to me she is kinda cold),Gaen and Episode(I think is not the first time we see him).

About the ending, I don't know why but made me feel sad. I guess there is only one episode remaining from Nekomonogatari (White), right?

[FlareKnight]

That's quite the sibling relationship going on there . Both sisters boldly proclaiming they were going out with guys that were like Araragi . Then of course Araragi refusing to admit those guys even exist .

At least we managed to close in on what is going on here. If this threat is related to her envy that does make some sense. Though it's quite a dangerous situation to consider. If the tiger really is burning down everywhere she's gone to sleep then this situation needs to be resolved now. Senjougahara's home will be next on the list followed by Araragi's house.

Can't wait to get a peek at that letter she wrote to Black Hanekawa.

[Shadow5YA]

I find it strange that Shaft was willing to draw one of Araragi's parents but not Hanekawa's.

Though I guess I shouldn't complain since she looks good.

Isn't it obviously because she had a speaking line of some importance? Senjougahara's dad got a similar treatment in the first season.

[Kanon]

Nice, two new characters. Technically three since it was Episode's first formal anime appearance even though he's a returning character. I was pretty shocked to find out he's only six years old. Seriously, WHAT. I never suspected this while I was reading Kizumonogatari. I assume he'll play a part in a later arc, probably the one dealing with the incident Araragi is currently taking a part in.

Mamaragi seems really sexy, which of course is not surprising when you look at her daughters (and her son too, I guess). Gaen seems like a very interesting character. Sweet spunky look and a very confident personality. I found it intriguing that her catchphrase is the very opposite of Tsubasa's.

As we suspected, the Tiger is after Tsubasa. Unfortunately, she can't rely on anybody for help, besides Black Hanekawa. She'll have to deal with this on her own.

Yeah, that's pretty much my point of thinking.
Hanekawa explained her situation with her parents, but they probably do not have anything that important to add to the overall story.
On the other hand, Hitagi's father and Araragi's mother are something else.

[zato_1one]

Can't believe that Hanekawa is capable of making a face which makes me LOL so hard.

No I'm just saying onto the finale, finales are big, whatever.

This arc is from Hanekawa's POV. And they showed, at the very start of ep 1, the only thing that mattered to Hanekawa concerning her parents. What they look like as people never mattered to Hanekawa, so they were never shown to portray that. The crux of the matter is if they would be shown at the END of this arc.
