Content Differences

This encompasses the addition or removal of segments (uncensored or remastered BD editions), differences in multiple adaptations from the same source, and remade or rebooted series.

Examples

Remastered

  • Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

    • An edited version of the series received a rebroadcast, featuring the extension of some scenes and the inclusion of new ones.

Uncensored

  • Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi

    • The TV broadcast version was heavily censored due to explicit content whereas the Blu-ray/DVD version is completely uncensored.

Differences in Multiple Adaptations from the Same Source/Remake

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion versus Rebuild of Evangelion

    • The new adaptation focuses less on psychological drama and more on action scenes as well as fan service.

    • Differences in characters' portrayal and their interactions; new characters included in the remake.

  • Code Geass/Code Geass R2 versus Code Geass I - III Movie Trilogy + Sequel

    • The movies recap a portion of the TV series' events, but eventually branch off and present a new story. As a result, Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch is completely unique to the movie trilogy.

    • The movies cut out some story arcs and changed scenes accordingly.

    • The circumstances of certain characters have changed due to the adjustments to the story in the movies.

  • Fruits Basket versus Fruits Basket 1st Season/Fruits Basket 2nd Season

    • The first adaptation is less faithful to the manga source; it contains more lighthearted fillers, skips over the backstories of two relevant characters, and features an anime-original ending.

    • Additionally, the order of certain parts of the story (such as the introduction of some characters) is different in the two adaptations.

Reboot

  • Dororo to Hyakkimaru versus Dororo

    • Differences in plot segments, ending, characters, some of the characters' portrayal/motivations, and interactions.
