NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK): Cat Tale (Monogatari)

NEKOMONOGATARI (BLACK): Cat Tale (Monogatari)

Following up on the high noteÂ of family ties on which the previous installment concluded, but preceding it chronologically, we find Araragi and his littleÂ sister Tsukihi, the heroine ofÂ the last volume, in full siblingÂ rivalry mode as they bicker about love. The conversation thatÂ cannot end unfolds in its unabashed original glory herein.

Like KIZUMONOGATARI, which delved into our narratorâ€™sÂ disastrous spring break, Cat Tale (Black) is a prequel about another catastrophe, mentioned often yet never recounted even in a foregoing chapter dedicatedÂ to Miss H.: namely, the model studentâ€™s rampage over GoldenÂ Week, a string of holidays starting at the end of April.

Closing out what has come to be known as the â€œFirst Seasonâ€Â of the series, this episode of â€™GATARI, as rich as ever in silly banter and poignant profundities, richer than usual in snide meta comments about the anime, will make you laugh and cry, or just put a grownup smile on your face, maybe, but is guaranteed to stay with you forever.
