10 Second Anime: Monogatari Series Second Season Episode 8

Monogatari Series Second Season Episode 8

Shota Araragi, loli Hanekawa, and Mayoi gets saved from being run over by a truck, ironically caused by running away from Araragi who had just flipped her skirt. Well, the past has been changed, but what about the future?

I think it's hilarious that Araragi knew exactly how to head-tilt even 11 years ago. More hilarious: how crazy Shinobu got over a younger, cuter version of Araragi. Most hilarious: how sublimely insane Araragi got over a younger, cuter Hanekawa. Some things with Hanekawa have always been the same. Like how level-headed she is, and how she doesn't know everything, she just knows what she knows. Combine those two with giving directions for Mayoi's mother's house and it ends up being a police station. Heh. At least the policewoman stationed there knew where the mother's house was. Araragi and Shinobu just had to make sure Mayoi got there safely.

Araragi, having two younger sisters, just can't help himself with teasing a young girl, and sets Mayoi running away, and into the path of a truck. But he still saves the day, and Mayoi makes it to her mother's house. Now, remember all those sci-fi admonitions about changing things in the past? Yeah, some things are going to be pretty different when Shinobu and Araragi come back to the present time.
