She also lost a lot of her powers too, and can only live inside his shadow. Aside from fanservice, in-universe explanation on why she's a loli is probably because it conserves whatever little powers she has left. She can only transform back into a human by drinking Koyomi's blood to regain some of her powers.

Disclaimer: haven't seen latest Owarimonogatari yet, just saying whatever I remember off the top of my head. + Show Spoiler +To piggyback off this, the way Shinobu calls Koyomi master ("omae-sama") is somewhat disrespectful or at least tongue in cheek. She knows she's entirely reliant on him after what Meme did at the end of Kizu. So from that aspect, her dependency somewhat puts Koyomi above her in their relationship.
That said, from Kizu to Owari, we see a total spectrum shift from Shinobu on how she views Koyomi and the relationship they have. In Bake, she's cold and refuses to talk, much less acknowledge Koyomi, for imposing life onto her. Even wearing that helmet for a few episodes to exhibit her displeasure in him. Shinobu finally thaws during their bath scene together, accepting his/their long life together and speaking to him as haughty of a manner as possible. She ends the world in a timeline where Koyomi dies during Mayoi Jiangshi. You can feel her utter disdain for everything, especially herself, for not being able to save him from Black Hanekawa. Finally, in Owari, Shinobu threatens the most powerful character in the series, Gaen, because she thought Gaen's plan might not work. But it did and even then, her bond with her servant means the world to her and her choice to stay in loli form, despite returning to full power, demonstrates that.

I've dropped Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu. Whilst the animation is gorgeous, I am tired of them sitting around plaiting their hair and talking about their emotions. Also of them screaming "why are you doing this?" at the time alteration army. I am the viewer, stop asking me, you guys are supposed to show the story.

I've dropped it too because I felt the story wasn't very engaging.
People on Reddit accused me of dropping it because it wasn't the typical 'cute girls do cute things', which is a dumb argument. The idea of the story is nice (I always give time-travel stories a try), but the story itself and the cast do not have any appeal.

Reddit is a dumb place, what do you expect? To be fair, Touken Ranbu is kinda "cute girls do cute things".

Been watching Gamers and I have to say I haven't laughed this loud with Anime since I don't even know. All the misunderstandings are just hilarious.

Owarimonogatari S2 is a short season but they packed a lot of awesome into it.

Are we doing the whole "this thing is stupid unless it agrees with my point of view then it's correct" thing now?
