(The Italian Blu-Ray was a copy of the JPBD.) This was principally used to replace the chroma in many scenes, with MTBB having better colors than the JPBD in comps 03-06 below, for example. This movie, too, is affected by Aniplex's shenanigans, so the German Blu-Ray was used as an alternate source. The only way to fix this is to use an alternate source like Crunchyroll (which doesn't always work that well because the scenes with this damage often have a high bitrate) or a non-US, non-JP Blu-Ray. Though it doesn't seem like the Monogatari series has been affected, high-profile shows like (), (), Promare, Haruhi, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Fate/Zero, Fate Stay/Night: UBW, Fate literally/everything/else, the Shirobako movie, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Soul Eater, and Steins Gate contain scenes where the quality has been reduced for no good reason, particularly the first three anime in the list. It turns out that Aniplex, a major anime publisher, has been intentionally sabotaging the quality of many of its Blu-Rays for more than a decade.

Set your media player to play “enm” language tracks by default to automatically play honorifics tracks. There is an alternate honorifics track in this release.
