Differences Between TV and DVD Versions
When a late night anime is released on video or DVD, it tends to have the contents altered or expanded, such as:
- Improved animation quality
- Scenes uncensored
- Completely new videos added, such as side stories or epilogues
Extras, like commentaries by the cast or production staff may also be added.
Such alteration often happens for television series, but this tendency is especially prominent for late night anime, because:
- Production companies may not have enough time, or a large enough budget, to make a higher quality series in time for television transmission,
- They often may want to include sexual or violent content that are restricted for broadcast on television.
- They have to add value for the DVD release, since they mainly rely on DVD sales.

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences and/or versions:
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“No sooner had I glanced at this letter, than I concluded it to be that of which I was in search. To be sure, it was, to all appearance, radically different from the one of which the Prefect had read us so minute a description.... But, then, the radicalness of these differences ... these things ... were strongly corroborative of suspicion.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
