Comparing the TV and BD versions

Sunrise have been advertising about fixing the animation for BD/DVD release, but they’re not just fixing derpy character animation. I was skipping through the 2nd BD last night and noted a few additional changes because these scenes really bothered me in the original TV airing. Click the image to view it in full size.

So the Ouroboros symbol on the dollar bill was just a derp changed because people read too much into it, and here we were trying to figure out why the hell it was there…

(By the way, Tiger & Bunny looks really good in full HD and the BDs have English subtitles.)

And in totally unrelated news, HLJ are getting undersupplied with their figure preorders, our Deformeister order was just cancelled. щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

Derp happens

(No I’m not talking about myself…)

I’ve read so many QQ’s about the quality (or lack thereof) in episode 11 that I figured I should probably say something about it.

Guys, take a chill pill. It’s one episode. Sure, the derp moments were pretty derpy. And there were enough of them for even me to feel a bit annoyed. But remember that TV anime is made under a tight schedule and budget. Most series are only a few episodes ahead in production than what’s being broadcasted. (If the rumors about the last episode of Togainu no Chi anime are true, it was ready less than 24 hours before it was set to air. And the whole thing was herpderp to begin with!) Also, the inbetweeners aren’t as good at drawing as the key animators, and that’s where most of the derp was.

Many TV anime have their art fixed for DVD and BD releases, it’s kinda becoming a standard. Tiger&Bunny is getting prettied up, and when I heard about that I expected to see more derp in the broadcasts, since it can be fixed anyway.

Comparison of TV and BD versions.

Okay, I admit that I’d prefer to watch my anime with less derp, but this is just something we have to deal with.
