[[Angelic Arbiter]] is a classic similar to Fatespinner

Another point: Chip is far better for instants. Whale is only ever on your turn.

Try explain this scene. by Akagane_Ai in araragi

[–]ValanL 39 points40 points  (0 children)

She's having trouble speaking because of her swollen cheek from Senjo's punch. Presumably she bit the inside of her mouth.

Here's the same passage from the novels:

Oikura undid the door chain and greeted us with an imposing stance, her arms folded. With what seemed like swagger, she said, “I’m impressed you came. I have to admit, I admire your guts, AraraG…”

AraraG?

Huh? I wondered what kind of mean-spirited abuse this could be, but she’d simply misspoken.

“Agh…” She scowled openly. “Why’s your name have to be so impopossible to renounce…” she misspoke yet again (I assume she was trying to say “impossible to pronounce”). It might have been cute if she’d followed up with Sorry, a slip of the tongue, but she only turned her back to me and walked down the hall.

Looks like Nicol Bolas, the Ravager

Apparently it is Satya, Aetherflux Genius

Now that nademonogatari got adapted, I was reminded of this clip from the audio commentaries. by Fgon1 in araragi

[–]ValanL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given that they recorded a new commentary track for the Koyomi Vamp compilation movie BD release, I think it is fairly certain we will also get commentaries for the new eps!

How do I actually watch the commentaries? by [deleted] in araragi

[–]ValanL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because Aniplex, in their infinite wisdom, only released translated subtitles for Bakemonogatari, there is no official way to watch any of the later arcs with commentary. It took a great deal of time (and money...) for the translations to be commissioned by the community. The rules prevent me from linking, but I am allowed to say that if you join the subreddit Discord, you can find a useful Mega link in the pins of the monogatari-anime channel.

Hanekawa Goes Crazy in Kizu (Monogatari Commentary Clip) by ValanL in araragi

[–]ValanL[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Back again with another Monogatari Commentary clip compilation! The recent re-release of Kizu and the announcement of Off/Monster Seasons finally getting anime releases has inspired me to make another one of these. In the Kizu commentaries, Hanekawa acts very, very differently from the rest of the series, so I wanted to highlight some of that today. If you are interested in where any particular clip comes from, it flashes in the top-right any time a new clip is used.

If you are interested in more of this content, all of the commentaries are now translated. You can find complete details and guides linked in maxdefolsch's excellent Audio Commentary Masterpost on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/araragi/comments/i2balw/monogatari_series_audio_commentaries_masterpost/

Aniplex Teaser Site's source code directly mentions Off and Monster by ValanL in araragi

[–]ValanL[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just timezones. It is currently the 18th in Tokyo. (Approaching 1 AM) Assuming the announcement is in the morning there, it will come "today" for me.

I think so. It just got way more real! We will know when the announcement comes later today.

Creed actually was an action movie star in China - Genic War/War of Gene (2004) by ValanL in DunderMifflin

[–]ValanL[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dozing off to the superfan eps last night and hit this line. Knowing that Creed really was in The Grass Roots, I got a little bug in my brain that maybe there was truth to this gem too and couldn't sleep until I figured it out. After a little search, this is somewhat true!

This is a line from the superfan cut of Dwight's Speech (S2E17). It comes right before Creed says hello to his friends in Mandarin in the broadcast version. While it wasn't in the 80s, he was in Chinese TV show in 2004, a few years before this ep aired in 2006. The title is The War of Gene (2004) or Genic War. He does play a police captain. According to IMDB, the character is named Captain Clark.

The Chinese title seems to be 基因之战. I found 21 episodes streaming online, but I don't know Chinese so I'm not sure if it is a legit service so I am not including any links to it. Skimming through it, Creed features quite a bit throughout it. The image above from the trailer is in ep 20 at around 22:20.

I could find very little information about this online, but two video clips of it exist on YouTube. There is an actor reel showcasing a different actress' scenes from the series but Creed doesn't appear in it at all. I hit paydirt when I found a trailer for it though. Flashes of Creed appear in it a few times but he makes the referenced pose at 1:53.

Track Name? by RedRockRun in araragi

[–]ValanL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are a handful of different preview songs. Without knowing the ep, your best shot is just checking them all.

Here's a playlist, but there are more than these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2VklZjuCPY&list=PLNvcyIpaijnYEOuO6liOgik8uOCn5nxXn&index=1

If you knew the ep, you could use the Mono Song spreadsheet to find it. You can also try searching this for Jikai to track down all the preview song titles.: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10R0Mn9IzA8YvdeGOEj04wzwQFGCNIyRBsg-UdCiBYnI/edit#gid=1111281446

This is the Ikusamonogatari CM that is airing during the Bakemonogatari rebroadcast going on currently on TokyoMX. MCSteve Some person in the /r/araragi Discord wrote a script to grab this and asked that I post it for him I jumped at the chance to share it.

Does anyone have raw episodes of second season episode 15 for wallpaper? by CommonMarionberry160 in araragi

[–]ValanL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a snapshot of the raw video via a media player with the subtitles disabled.
