nisio is unironically one of the most talented writers. his autism sometimes gets in the way, but he’s insanely good.
Did you know there's a moment where every traffic light in an intersection turns red...
Ougi is the blank 3 seconds of an intersection. We're all waiting for the light to turn green and the story to move forward, but this stupid bitch takes up our precious time.
I like Monogatari, but it's mostly just a bunch of sexy but mentally deranged narcissists, trapped inside their own heads, trying to one-up eachother with pretentious nonsense. You could say most of them are well written but I wouldn't say they are actually realistic or relatable.
>Did you know there's a moment where every traffic light in an intersection turns red? Even you've seen it on a daily basis. Now, you can take the red light or the blue light. If you take the blue light, you'll wake up and everything will go on as normal. But if you take the red light...
I don't get it. What did Nisio mean?
I fucking love Ougi.

>Even Hanekawa herself said how shit she is that Hitagi going through similar problems moved on while she wasn't able to overcome a single thing, she didn't mature.
In Tiger, the Black Hanekawa inside herself remarked that Tsubasa was being too harsh on herself and should acknowledge that she did change somewhat and love herself. Plus Hitagi still blames herself for her mother leaving the family, she says so personally to Araragi and Hanekawa in private conversations, and the only reason she is as stable as she is, is because she has a really good father that supports her fully. Tsubasa comparatively, has nobody, and Araragi even mentions herself rather twisted feelings about Hanekawa at the end of Owari.
This narrative people try to push like "Hitagi is normal, and Hanekawa is just a weak sociopath" is missing several pieces of context to try to make their confirmation bias relevant. Hitagi End proved that there is still self esteem issues and dependency on Araragi that Hitagi has going.
It's good that she is supportive of Araragi, but keeps him in line with the perversion. He is successful with getting Shinobu and Gahara to let him skirt the line so he has his cake and eats it too, but Hanekawa ain't having any of that, and that's good. Her "I'll knock you out" when he starts undressing her with his eyes at the end of Owari is great.
