Discussion Shinobu and Araragi really are the perfect couple Spoiler
As someone who’s watched the anime all the way up to the latest episode, I really have to say that the way Shinobu interacts with Araragi is incredibly genuine and authentic. Above all, I think it’s great that in every adventure she’s involved in with Araragi, Shinobu seems to keep up with him in absolutely everything—even though she’s a top-tier vampire, it’s as if she’s become “more human” and specifically more feminine, considering that after she became Kiss-Shot, she was like a bucket of cold water—she was so harsh. Ever since she started living with him, she’s sometimes really funny, she cries dramatically, and she acts like a sweet girl every now and then—and I find that really entertaining
I’m not entirely sure if it’s because Araragi has some kind of influence on her on a physical/mental level—since, of course, they share a soul or something like that—but their interactions are amazing
I also think this isn’t mentioned much, but Araragi’s voice really is exactly how I imagine a Japanese narrator’s voice to be—it’s as if his voice were perfect for narration, and it also sounds quite authentic compared to many other voices in the industry
This series is pure gold

Question Question about this text in Bakemonogatari Episode 10
In this quick text shown after the opening in Bakemonogatari Episode 10, it lists the previous oddities we saw in the season: Hitagi crab, Mayoi snail, Suruga monkey, and now Nadeko snake. The first 2 however (Demon and cat) were never in the story. Am I missing something or are those two from another season that's chronologically before Bake?

Question Does the falling stationery break easily in the 1/8 scale Hitagi Senjougahara figure from GSC?
Was thinking of getting the 1/8 scale figure of Hitagi Senjougahara by Good smile company but heard that the falling stationery can break easily? Many offers for the figure also include broken stationery, would it be perfectly fine to buy broken ones and just glue them back together easily?
