So… What the Hell is up with Ararararagi’s Phone?
Posted by: Noirsword in Anime, Bakemonogatari
Screencaps are from Bakemonogatari episode 4, all featuring Araragi’s unique cell phone. I’ll let the pictures do the talking and add color commentary as needed.

It could save your life.

It could save your life too. Maybe.

Suddenly, Breakout! (Note the Pacman life counter is still here)

Everyone loves Tetris. (Also note the score and rank never change either)

HiveFace is not amused.

…Is hard.

Everybody, lets positive thinking! (Cookie to whomever gets THAT reference)

we herd humanz liek being butt probed.

Alternate your muscles to prevent pull injury.

We don’t discriminate. Really.

Not a good thing for your girlfriend to see flashing on your phone…

…Since this would be the likely outcome.
Three theories about the cell phone:
1. This is just SHAFT ****-ing with our minds.
2. The cell phone is possessed and needs an exorcism.
3. This is just SHAFT ****-ing with our minds.
4. The phone is actually GLaDOS reincarnated. Wait, that’s four…
SHAFT, you make my head hurt. This is what happens when you let people with ADHD make anime. At least this was nowhere near as bad as the seizure inducing phone scene in ef – a tale of memories.

Zettai KARAFURU sengen!
While there is definitely a SHAFT being SHAFT angle to the phone it makes a bit more sense once you’ve seen episode 5…a bit more…no idea wtf Breakout is supposed to symbolize.
@Taka: Aye, like Tetris everything will all fit into place in episode 5. It all makes sense now. Break out and embrace the truth! Unfortunately a couple blabbermouths already ruined the big surprise for me. I’ll just pretend to be surprised.
Still, it’s SHAFT being SHAFT and they make my poor head hurt by making us overanalyze every instance of symbolism they throw at us.
I really wish I had a phone that did that, and yes I did get the postive thinking refernce.
That cellphone si the exact same model that Senjougahara’s father has…
And I LOVE those animations! ^^
