It turns out there was actually an explanation about this that was supposed to occur during Tsukihi Phoenix, but was apparently cut from the anime. Here's a link and a brief summary.

Ugh, that part of the chapter made me realized why I love this series so much. Character development and relationship aiding that sort of development. It helps that Araragi can overanalyze this sort of character development with his understanding.

But that snippet is pretty crucial to understanding how much emotion and care Senjougahara has for Hanekawa in this episode. I appreciate her more after reading that because her tsun humor has evolved to this crude humor that puts Hanekawa into awkward situations. I would love to see Senjougahara's interactions with Araragi more considering her change after conquering her psychological problem.

Goddamn, finally caught up and they gave so much character and life to Hanekawa. Pretty great season so far for Monogatari. Can't wait to watch the next episode. Man, I love this series.

First half of the new episode (11) was so loving dull. I don't find Sengoku an engaging character at all.

Then Shinobu uppercuts Araragi and the episode's redeemed.

I had the same reactions. Shinobu's part might be the best part in the series IMO. She's probably my favorite character of all time. So :smug:

The first half of this episode is great, but the second half is PURE GOLD


Seriously. I thought I was gonna hate this arc, but all the episodes so far are so good. Basically that only time Araragi was in that episode I yelled, "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" I love this goddamn series
