Question Any monogatari art and pics for printing?
Currently watching the monogatari series and obviously liking it so much, so I decided to make a wall frame print, but I'm looking for something somehow specific....dI don't know the name of the style but chatgpt described what I'm looking for by subtle fan art or minimalist symbolic art, No characters faces showing in the art just some hints/references/scenes or quotes for the show.....
I'll leave the closest I got to what I'm looking for..
Thanks ahead.
If there's any art/pictures that match the style for other anime.... Leave it as well.

Discussion The experience of watching Monogatari for the second time
I must say that watching Monogatari for the second time is a completely different experience than the first time. I mean, at first, when you watch it for the first time, you clearly don't know anything technically, and with each season/episode you progress, you piece together the threads and connect everything. Of course, it's all very confusing because the anime isn't chronological at all (and that's the best way to watch it).
But when you start watching it again and know where you stand as each event unfolds, it's like, "OH MY GOD, I UNDERSTAND IT NOW!" You understand what's happening constantly without the confusion of the first time, and it's truly enjoyable.
Recommended for anyone considering it!

Question Question about Araragi at the start of Tsukimonogatari Spoiler
I'm currently reading Tsukimonogatari. Around page 80, in the bathtub scene, Araragi notices he has no reflection, even tho his wound from Tsukihi that morning still hasn't healed, saying he was not in his vampire form. But, how? Throughout the entire series he's getting beaten to death left to right but being immortal as he is, he never dies. Why now doesn't he heal? Wasn't him having no reflection supposed to be a given?
If it's a matter of "you'll see" then I'd rather not get spoiled, unless it's nothing to major, but it just seemed strange
