Episode Description

It has been a long journey... but we finally made it to the final arc of Bakemonogatari, The Tsubasa Cat Arc! In this episode, let's talk about the final 'act' of this fifteen episode drama. From the mental health aspects of the show becoming more prominent, to the cinematic aspect ratio used throughout the arc, what makes this arc such a special one and why exactly is this one of my favourite stretches of episodes in TV anime? All this and more in this week's episode of Get In The Mecha.
