You know how you thought SHAFT might actually have the final Tsubasa Cat episode for Bakemonogatari on time? Wait, no one thought that. In a move that surprised no one, SHAFT announced that the final episode of the nya-tastic story arc will be delayed until June 9th. Like I said last time, you'd think that with all those sales, SHAFT would be able to hire a few extra animators. But then they wouldn't be SHAFT, would they?

Looks like you'll have to wait several months for your next fix, guys. Sorry. I'm sure it'll have just as much nya as episode 14, but that tongue-twister will be hard to top. I'm still surprised we haven't seen this cash cow make it over our way.

Nyahahaha~

I cried on the inside.

I've already waited this long for the last two parts, so I can take the wait. I'd rather SHAFT start taking their time on stuff, rather than take on like 3 projects at once and watch them suffer.

Dang. At least it's the kind of show where single episodes hold up well on their own, maybe even better than serially. I tried to marathon Bakemonogatari once and by the 3rd episode, it felt like my brain was melting.

That episode was a masterpiece and reaffirmed Yui Horie's legendary status.

I can't say that I'm particularly saddened by the news. I was really looking forward to some type of development between the Koyomi and Tsubasa, but they pretty much latched him to Hitagi(I like her well enough, though not as much as Nadeko, to which even I find strange myself). At any rate, I guess I can sit tight for another 3 or 4 months.

Ughhhhh, SHAFT, y u do dis???

I'm not a damn bit surprised that Bakemonogatari hasn't been licensed though. In fact, I'll be shocked if it is. This series is way too damn esoteric for the general population.

This is me not being surprised.

Are we allowed to hope against all hope that this episode will be fully animated?

Who am I kidding, I'll go back to my little corner and play "that tongue-twister" in loop.
