Enhanced on DVD: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

Things take time and some companies really don't have the time to spare. TV airings can be more the beta version of the episode and fully complete on DVD and Blu-Ray, or even in subsequent airings before home video copies are made (satellite/cable, online streaming, syndication, export…). Sometimes this can be fixing of [[Off-Model]], additional animation and special effects, or rework of backgrounds. Often the TV version is [[Old Shame|never seen again]]; the more nostalgic viewers might want to [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]].

 

 

Compare [[Recut]], which is the re-release special edition of this trope, and somewhat related to [[Updated Rerelease]] for [[Video Games]]. [[Super-Trope]] to [[Too Hot for TV]], which is this used for censoring. Compare negatively [[Digital Destruction]].

 

* [[Studio Shaft]] uses this in nearly every one of their releases. The worst examples are:

** ''[[Bakemonogatari]]'' is probably the most famous for this; nearly every scene is reworked in some way. The climax of the "Nadeko Snake" arc in particular is especially enhanced, although that's not saying much when the vast majority of the scene [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|wasn't drawn or animated]] ''at all'' on the broadcast version.

* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|When They Cry - Higurashi]]'' looks somewhat clearer and has some design changes compared to the Japanese TV airings and Japanese DVDs.

 

* There are [http://www.ultimatedisney.com/thelionking2.html some differences] between the theatrical version of ''[[The Lion King]]'' and the main VHS/DVD versions. Then came the enhanced DVD for both TLK 1 and TLK 2.

 

 

* Parodied in the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Free Hat", where there's a [[Parody Commercial]] for the new enhanced edition of the first episode with all-new graphics.

{{quote|'''Trey Parker:''' For instance, in the scene at the bus stop, we always meant to have Imperial walkers and giant dewback lizards in the background, but simply couldn't afford it.}}

* The producers of ''[[The Big Knights]]'' pulled out all the stops for the [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|long-awaited]] DVD/Blu Ray release of the show, pulling the source computer files out of their archives and re-rendering the whole show in high-definition widescreen.

* Due to the amount of vicious censorship, and the amount of offensive, disgusting and outright insane content they could not air on [[Comedy Central]], [[Drawn Together]]'s DVD set was the only way to experience the series for what it truly was, all of the mind-raping, childhood-raping, emotion-raping and animal-raping events that would unfold. Not only that, they added in many scenes and lines that they could not show on air, and played the "real" version of some other watered down scenes. They left nothing out, not even the mutilated penises, fat jokes or the incestuous romance plots.
