H-he didn't choose her because he felt she is too good for him

H-he didn't choose her because he felt she is too good for him.

Has there been a bigger pile of horse manure of a justification as to why the obvious best girl didn't win?

yes

70% of anons here have been in the same situation

That or rather than feeling a girl was too good for them, they thought video games were a better choice

Name them.

He didn't choose her because Kisshot turned into a little girl with a flat chest

The vampire loli isn't even in the competition

no

same situation

describes the polar opposite sentiment

retard

best girl

how exactly does Hanekawa deal with stress?

Congratulations, you understood the surface level excuse, but not the real reasons. They mutually friendzoned each other as an act of mercy (unconsciously in Araragi's case).

the canonical best girl in-universe is the least popular girl in the fandom

How ironic.

Reading comprehension: nashi

She shouldn't have gotten a haircut then. Short hair cat is bottom of the barrel garbage.

What about her political stance? Do you support it?

Because it was a competition for second place. The game was rigged from the start.

If you still think Cat is best girl after Tsubasa Tiger, I don't know what to tell you.

I unironically prefer post-haircut Cat, though I'm just categorically weak to the short hair, big boobs combo.

is the least popular girl in the fandom

She's the third most popular right after Bat, and Crab.

Is she? Going by Anon Babble discourse you'd think she is the least popular.

She didn't win because she failed to confess her love before senjo. That's how life works. it's nothing to do with araragi.

Dodged a beta. Looks like she won.

By having steamy sex with arararagi.

Going by Anon Babble discourse

That was your first mistake. Rarely does Anon Babble's preference line up with the rest of the fanbase.

No way she is above snail, that's simply impossible.

i don't really get why or how ppl got invested in the romance. yeah the star gaze scene was nice but araragi gropes/flirts with other heroines even if hes taken so why would anyone want their favorite girl with him? usually when the mc ends up with a girl, the harem shenanigans stop but here it just increased

Their verbal rapport?

According to whom?

He didn't because he knew he wanted to keep idolizing her so he needed to ignore her issues, that made him realize that whatever he felt for her wasn't love

according to what I've heard about the japanese fanbase. if you want some sort of westoid look into things, just go to anilist and which girl has the most favorites.

crab > bat > cat in that order.

Not that anon, but maybe it's an Evangelion sort of situation. The japanese overwhelmingly preferred Rei, while Asuka always had a clear lead in the west. Western fans prefer the assertive and cheeky Crab over the "perfect" Cat, while for the japanese it's the reverse.

Now that I read your post again, maybe it would be more accurate to say that Crab has a bigger lead in the west than she does in the east rather than losing out to Cat outright.

Crab is the most popular in the West while Bat is the most popular in the East. Cat is third place no matter what.

Nisio has no idea what to do with both crab and cat anymore.

Dogshit argument, most people have just watched Bakemonogatari where most of the screentime is shared between crab and cat, that's why they're defacto most popular by sheer number.
For the actual monogatari fanbase who's watched/read all 3 seasons at least every other girl emerge as more popular especially Snail, Math and Doll.

*bullshit magic explanation*

hanekawa is now 10 years old

fixed your plot

Just because Araragi is obsessed with her doesn't mean she isn't a retarded bitch.

Elaborate.

For the actual monogatari fanbase who's watched/read all 3 seasons at least every other girl emerge as more popular especially Snail, Math and Doll.

which means those that watched all parts of the anime and maybe read the novels right? 11652 users completed the most recent season and math still has less than 2k favorites. crab has some of the least screen time among the heroines the further we get into the story and she's still the fan favorite by a large margin in the west and if you visit (r)eddit which is full of fans who have consumed every piece of monogatari media, you'll see that crab/bat are the most popular. math is my personal second favorite but shes not a top 3 or really even a top 5

Not him, but Hanekawa has basically all of Araragi's worst traits but on steroids so they would be massively self-destructive together.
I wouldn't say the friendzoning was mutual though.

She's the biggest actually.

Hanekawa is SHIT.

No, she expected it would happen eventually, because this gloomy guy was a loner and she's the only person who communicates with him.

Well?

Nisio should have given Hanekawa white hair sooner

Did you just call me Shuraragi? The name sounds cool but my name is not Sugaragi.

Yea.

TETAS

Kizu literally spent multiple, long, agonizing scenes highlighting the #1 fault in Hanekawa and RRG's interactions.

RRG isn't forward enough to make the first move, or to advance on his own.

Hanekawa wants others to make the first move.

Story as old as time, and it's why the cat lost. A more forward woman came around first, and he fell off.

isn't this also kind of rude to crab

Never watched the show, but braid+glasses are always best girl, no exception.

I don't think she cares

but araragi gropes/flirts with other heroines even if hes taken so why would anyone want their favorite girl with him?

Yeah this has always been one of the worst parts of the series for me. If Senjou actually fucked Kaiki I wouldn't even care
