It is a generally accepted fact in the anime industry that physical packages contain the revised and corrected versions of an anime’s episodes. But apparently that wasn’t the case with Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (So I’m a spider, so what?), a production that achieved the strangest: looks worse on Blu-ray / DVD packages.
While Kadokawa assumes in conferences that this “one of his most successful projects internationally“, The Twitter user”@ g6xa3awstGCEljS“Shared his already usual comparisons between content broadcast on television and that contained in physical packages. «When it aired it was criticized for poor animation, but on physical discs the animation was properly corrected»The user wrote, referring to the fact that the animation has been corrected but the quality of the drawing has deteriorated significantly. «To be clear, it’s not the other way around. I couldn’t believe it myself and had to double-check the placement of the images. Many other modifications were made. If they mixed the two versions, maybe the product they expected would come about».
Above is the “TV version (放送 版)“While at the bottom of each line the”Blu-ray (BD) version“.
