Bakemonogatari 10
September 14th, 2009
I’m sorry. I know this was a relatively serious episode but I couldn’t resist the sexual innuendos. Oh god, maybe I’m starting to turn in to Shin…. God help us all.
Anyways, this is possibly the most serious arc of the show so far, since a poor helpless girl almost got cursed to death just because of some one-sided hatred. Really sounded like an episode of Jigoku Shoujo there. But this episode also ended in a very dark note too, mostly because Koyomi was so engrossed in to destroying the oddity, he almost ended up dead himself.
It’s as Oshino and Enma says, “If you curse someone, two holes will open.” While I admire his whole-hearted kindness, but sometimes, you gotta let some bad things happen or the world will just break down. If he’d had managed to destroy the snake, but ended up dead himself, imagine the wrath that Senjougahara would visit on those two kids who cursed Nadeko in the first place. Even worse, Nadeko might even get cursed again as well by them and this time… no Koyomi-oniichan to help her. Better just let malice be responded with malice.
That being said, gotta say nice song by Hanazawa Kana there. Her type of voice usually ends up being not very perfect for singing and I daresay Kannagi really helped to cultivate that image, but her performance of this episode’s OP proves that she can sing, given the proper lyrics and song too.
Next up is Tsubasa Cat…. which means a lot of Hocchan to come!
