Second season of the Monogatari Series, part 2/2. Contains the arc Suruga Devil from the Hanamonogatari light novel.
Now that Koyomi Araragi and Hitagi Senjougahara have graduated, few familiar faces remain at Naoetsu Private High School. One of them is Suruga Kanbaru, holder of the Monkey's Paw. When she begins to hear talk of a mysterious being known as the "Devil," who will magically solve any problem, she immediately thinks these rumors are about her and decides to investigate.
Kanbaru discovers the Devil is actually Rouka Numachi, a former rival who provides free advice to those who seek her out now that she can no longer play basketball due to a leg injury. As a collector of misfortune, Numachi enjoys relieving her clients' stress by giving them false hope. Though Kanbaru sees no real harm being done, she reprimands Rouka for lying and heads home, relieved she is not the cause of the rumors. But the next morning, when she finds that her left hand has reverted back to its original form, she may have a reason to worry after all.

Where it came from
Hanamonogatari was produced by Studio Shaft in 2014 as part of the wider Monogatari Series, a long-running anime adaptation of Nisio Isin's light novel franchise. It serves as the bridge between the second and third seasons, specifically focusing on the character Suruga Kanbaru as she navigates her final year of high school. The production was marked by a shift in narrative tone, moving away from the perspective of the series protagonist, Koyomi Araragi, to provide a more intimate character study.
The visual direction was helmed by series stalwarts Akiyuki Shinbo and Tomoyuki Itamura, who utilized the studio's signature surreal aesthetic, characterized by fragmented editing, heavy use of typography, and abstract architectural framing. This stylistic approach was intended to reflect the psychological turbulence of the characters. While the series faced production delays that resulted in its release as a five-episode marathon special, it was generally well-received by fans for its mature thematic exploration of guilt, maturity, and the supernatural.
