Bakemonogatari 12 has nothing to do with its previous episode. And half of this episode happens in a car. This episode started with Araragi and Senjougahara teasing Araragi while having lunch . She invites him on a date.

• - Emile got shot down. But I prefer his brother to be shot to death.
• - It’s pretty amazing that squad 7 or any militia does not wear safety helmet and never got headshot by the empire’s army. No wonder the empires keep losing.

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] mystery anime revolves around Real Mayer the granddaughter of Romdeau City regent and Vincent Law who can’t remember his past. One day, Real encounter Monad while investigating a murder case and later that day she was attacked by another Proxy . Everyone around her does not believe her and all proof regarding Proxy were erased by the Government. This started the whole thing with Real Mayer’s Proxy interest.

The one that got entangled with this incident was Vincent Law who doesn’t seem to know why people around him kept dying brutally.

• This is a dark anime. It’s dark, gloomy color in futuristic animated cgi. The whole 23 episode is movie like. Totally worth it with HDMI TV.
• There’s a monster called Proxy running around almost in every episode. A lot of people gets to be killed and blood splatter everywhere.
• - Real Mayer looks ugly when she’s off makeup. Pretty realistic I say..
• - Entourage is annoying and so do us when we have awakening moments. So bare with it..
• - The plot were either too deep, or I’m just dumb. You’ll have to re watch certain scene to understand some stuff. I never did but I enjoy watching all 22 episodes. I skipped pino and rabbit thing.
• - Proxy looks like shadow from Persona games . Is it just a coincidence ?
