Hanamonogatari Season 1
Monogatari (Hanamonogatari): Season 1/ Episode 5 "Suruga Devil, Part Five" [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview As this arc ends, it almost makes me sad that the next iteration of the series, Kizumonogatari, will be jumping back to when Araragi met Shinobu. Review (with Spoilers) It is a bittersweet end when it comes to our focus on Suruga. If just because as soon as you are really growing attached to her, and she presents quite an interesting adventure for herself, you end up being cut off. Still, between her one on one contest with Numachi, and another sweet moment between her and Koyomi, it does make you hope, after Kizumonogatari, we end up right back from where we left off.

Overview After Numachi finishes her story Suruga is given terrible news. Review (with Spoilers) An interesting combination of events happens this episode. Numachi explains how she came to inherit the devil’s leg; Karen reveals some news about Numachi, and then Koyomi shows up. Leaving me unable to guess at all, after all is said and done, what may happen in the season finale. Community Rating: 0.00% (0) - No Community Ratings Submitted.

Overview Rather than the story shifting to finding Numachi, we instead learn how she came to have 2 devil’s parts. Review (with Spoilers) Well, it seems Kaiki’s purpose has come and gone since Numachi shows up at Suruga’s school. Leading to the idea that whatever is to go down will get dramatically sped up due to the episode limit of the season, which honestly I don’t have a problem with. However, being that Numachi walks a dark path, you have to wonder if we are going to be given an adequate enough amount of time for her to tell her story. While also maybe rekindle something between her and Suruga. Community Rating: 0.00% (0) - No Community Ratings Submitted.

Overview Between Suruga’s arm being free of the monkey paw, Numachi going missing, and Kaiki showing up, a lot goes. Review (with Spoilers) I’m very lost at to how Kaiki is still alive after Hitagi End: Part Six, but somehow he survived nearly bleeding out. Good thing too since, with Numachi disappearing, it seems Suruga could use her would-be uncle’s talents. Though there remains a bit of unease between Kaiki and Suruga, mostly due to Kaiki’s past. As for whether he is truly a family friend, or perhaps is deceiving her, only time will tell. As for the details of this episode, though, look below.

Overview As Suruga adjust to life without Araragi, Senjogahara, as well as Hanekawa, a new charm rumor arises which she decides to investigate. Review (with Spoilers) When it comes to the first episode things begin on a rather boring note. For while Ougi appears, as a boy, and we meet some of Suruga’s old friends, or rivals, from basketball, things don’t really get interesting until the end.
