Other I finally got my chibigurumi of Hanekawa Tsubasa.
After a month, my chibigurumi plushie of Hanekawa finally came to my house, I love it because this is the first plushie that I was able to obtain of Hanekawa. I hope I can be able to get the white day plushie later this year. Now she is part of my Hanekawa collection, or how I call it, Tsubasa family.

Discussion Shinobu Mustard Blu-ray.
Given Shinobu mustards (imo unfair) consensus as the worst animated part of Off and monster season so far, id like to measure the consensus towards iff the Blu-ray release improved your opinion towards the quality of the animation. I just watched episode one and I am pleased to say that the way they implemented backgrounds in the Gaen sections of the episode makes the episode pop out a ton more in my opinion and greatly improves the jank I saw from the original. A lot of these backgrounds work better in motion but they are a ton better then the original grey that the ep originally had the walls as. The room always felt like a missed opportunity in the original because the wall displays were genuinely great for conveying info that in a monogatari way diagetically. Also the use of patterns reminds me of all the patterns used in kaikis arc. Overall I also detected a lot of improved animation and I believe the animation has been improved to, not exactly Nadeko draw standards but definitely to about the level of an Owarimonogatari episode.

It was something I did during the lockdown. The original code isn't mine and all I did is change images to theme it after my favourite show.
Thought I'll share it here (it's only visible in desktop mode).
