That is nice to know. I'd say it's a nice addition, given how Araragi could understandably be an unreliable narrator.

2021-09-08 22:09:03 +0000 UTCIt is sort of a retcon, however that scene was merely a remanences, not a full narrative. This remanences is yes an anime thing though. The interesting thing is Nekomonogatari Kuro (2010) was not published yet by the time that episode of Bakemonogatari anime aired (2009).

2021-09-08 22:06:57 +0000 UTCPerhaps you've noticed, but this episode retcons part of Bake 13. In Bake 13, the exchange was slightly different, and there was no Araragi overly excited for one wish. I have no clue if this is just an anime thing, or it's from Nisioisin's LN, but there is a discernible difference. As you can tell, Nekomonogatari Kuro is a prequel that serves to flesh out what really happened the first time Hanekawa turned into the cat.

2021-09-08 21:03:12 +0000 UTCIf you take into account the after credits scene, Araragi's skirt flipping and reaction to "do anything" should give an idea on Araragi's character. It may not seem like it, but he does have reasons behind why he does things.
