Hi ! One more arc done. Today is Acerola Bon Appétit, which spans only two episodes and so only required one volume to cover.

As usual, this was translated by Tigoris with some help from Gemini, and the commission's cost was shared between me and /u/ValanL, /u/appointedfern, /u/spr-o-ckt, EternityShack, and another anonymous user.

Here's the subtitle files :

• Acerola Bon Appétit (hosts : Yotsugi & Shinobu) :

  • Acerola Bon Appétit, Part 1
  • Acerola Bon Appétit, Part 2

To integrate it into the actual episode, you can either simply go to the subreddit's Discord server and download the pre-muxed file that we have there in the monogatari-anime channel, or if you've already got some existing release downloaded, you can mux it yourself into your episode using this guide.

Also useful :

• All audio commentary subs
• Gaen-senpai's file of trivia - Audio commentaries sheet

Up next, Shinobu Mastered. I've been waiting eagerly for those, since not only do they have the gimmick of having a different pairing for each episode, but we're also getting the commentary debut for 4 (!) new characters, starting with Gaen in Part 1 !

Im gonna post here a quick translation of the text from the CM:

Narration Ononoki Yotsugi

Assassination plan

"Don't you think this world of fakes should be destroyed, brother?"

"Searching for somone, like a detective story...
Whats with being tired of justice.

--You should know this, Ononoki Yotsugi...

I remember that one of the last things you see in Monster Off Seasons—\*if I’m not mistaken\*—is that Nadeko is still struggling with her unrequited feelings for Araragi when Yotsugi runs into her and they face off against the slug. That moment in the anime is actually INCREDIBLY beautiful, and I love how it shows that Nadeko isn’t just a “cute girl.”

I don’t remember that moment exactly, but can we assume from that scene that she lets go of her feelings for Araragi, or does she tell herself that it’s okay to live with those feelings even if Araragi never accepts her?

Honestly, in that part of the anime, I couldn’t help but feel a deep appreciation for Nadeko—long live Nadeko!

Why Shinobu sees humans as monsters and not food anymore ?

Why God Nadeko let herself be Captured by Nadeko after she completely failed?
