    sup /a/, I've been struck by the recurring design choice of horizontal and vertical lines between the viewers and the characters. It conjures up a feeling that the characters are somehow incarcerated. I've wondered whether this is intended to connote that the Japanese people, or perhaps especially its young people, are "jailed" by their culture and mores.

    This episode had some of the best cinematic timing I have ever seen in anime.

    But he was incarcerated because of his previous actions.

    Notice the guilty - not guilty thing in the board.

    She is the prison.

    I agree that the imagery was probably meant to imply incarceration of some sort. If you think about it, it's not just those bars that implied a "prison". The two sets of monkey bars that ring the perimeter of the playground also, in my mind, represent a prison of sorts. Or, in this context, they appear to delineate the characters' "safety zone", an oasis amid an oppresive desert of empty space. It's an emptiness that traps them all or, at the very least, Araragi, who was feeling very small throughout the most part of this arc.

    I'm beginning to get the impression that the wide open space is meant to emphasise the varying degrees of loneliness that all the characters feel: Senjougahara's anxious desire not to appear strange again; Hachikuji's deliberate rejection of company so as not to lead people astry; and, lastly, Araragi's feeling of being ostracised by his sisters.

    That's another example of visual imagery that had been used very effectively, I believe. To me, it's an example of how the appropriate use of visual technique can effectively encapsulate the essence of a literary story.

    There are plenty of other things to pick up, I'm sure. Most of them appear to be merely for flair and effect. But there will definitely be a few that are meant to have deliberate meaning. The images are "everywhere and nowhere at the same" time. So, how many more do you see?

    Generally in Film .etc - 'bars' and lines .etc infront of the character(s) connote being trapped and confined (such as your observation of being in prison .etc). However behind; it could quite possibly connote 'freedom' as such. In other words - being free from the constraints which previously trapped them (which in full the characters are free from that which has trapped them previously) - maybe try to pick up on if the characters before they are free are obstructed in anyway by the lines or similar.
