Bakemonagatari’s fourth DVD/Blu-ray discs are proving popular amidst fans – not only have the notorious unfinished (and in fact, entirely missing) parts been completed, but also Shaft have seen fit to revise some of loli icon Nadeko’s scenes, giving her more exposure and some rather ambiguous serpentine insertion action.
The changes can be inspected below, with any revisions on the right:
Aww...why do I prefer some of the old scenes?
On the bright side, the Nadeko Hajime Ueda ED is made of awesome.
Oh, and the full ver. of FUWAFUWARUFUWAFUWARI is out.
Bakemonogatari feels so unfinished that it seems Shaft purposely withheld stuff to push dvd sales.
It's funny seeing fanboys claiming photography stills and other cheap production tricks to lower costs in the anime as "artistic", then praising Shaft when those scenes are animated in the dvd.
That's the producer's problem and it is his job to properly budget manpower, time and money to make sure things get done. What else is he there for, sit there and look pretty?
Maybe blind fanboys will praise any unfinished crap their favorite anime producers will throw at them. Maybe the gay fanboys actually enjoy being shafted. Oh yes, Shaft, harder!
What's gonna happen if other anime producers follow suit? You want a whole bunch of blank screens and still pictures in your anime? Buy the dvds if you want to see the real thing! Woot! We get such crap because fanboys don't hold producers to account and blindly accept anything.
Finally, this was by far the worse fucking episode I'd ever seen, and this is even including the other half finished episodes.
There must have been around 9 minutes of fragmented footage in this episode, the rest being black screen.
Though I must admit to liking most of the old character designs better.
But still, how fucking hard is it to drawn an invisible snake?
It's pretty hard when you're short on staff and have a tight schedule. Still, episode 10 was pretty horrible on SHAFT's part and hopefully we won't get an episode like that again.
Given the nature of the scene did you never consider the fact that it simply was not appropriate for TV or perhaps that they were afraid it would be censored anyway?
Also there is a lot of movement just in that last gif alone. The problem with animating something like said invisible snake is not the snake itself but the result it has on Nadeko.
So "movement" is some sort of debilitating hardship in making anime is it?
Other companies must be employing genies or something since this whole "making stuff move" thing is so mystical and far out.
How much of a dick-rider are you? Considering a loli was felt up several times and in this arc another one was naked for most of an episode, I don't think you can cling to this sad excuse of censorship.
Me too. A lot of scenes were nicer in the TV version, from previous episodes too. It seems to me like SHAFT is encouraging the illegal download of TV-rips, because if people liked the TV version more, that's pretty much their only choice. Let's wait and see who gets shafted in the long run.
I have to agree that for the most part I prefer the TV version. I'm sure that when watching the episode though it will be much better from Blu-Ray simply because no scenes are simply missing.
I'm just happy SHAFT bothers to fix their mistakes for the Blu-Ray releases unlike studios like DEEN. Bah.
I was surprised at how much re-working was included, the bookstore scene seemed almost totally new, it was nice that they added more detail to Tsubasa's features.
Btw, Kana/Nadeko's commentary is awesome. Her reaction to Nadeko's pantsu flash was really funny.
On one hand, I want to support Shaft for the highly enjoyable Bakemonogatari.
On the other hand, I cannot condone such a dubious practice to sell dvds.
"Okay, we've run out of money, so we'll just throw in blank screens and still pictures. If you really want to see these scenes animated, buy the dvds!"
Maybe I should just send them a check with a note saying "screw you".
Sheeesh, anime "fans" these days really love to complain, complain, and complain... and complain... and keep on complaining again. Why not just look at the bright side; at least Shaft made both the TV and DVD versions worth watching twice. Surprised and disappointed that some of the shots in the TVare better than the DVD's? Okay, fine but if you still want to go "OMG, Shaft is so stupid and lazy!!", why don't you guys at least lift your lazy bum up, load your video editing program and reassemble the segments of the TV and DVD versions altogether by yourself?
You obvious haven't watched nor heard of the source material.I take it that you think every anime that has a woman revealing some figure "good for guys that never get laid".
I'm sorry, what is this? Are you SURE it's the revised version on the right? If so, why does it look SO MUCH WORSE than the original?! Almost every shot in the revised version is alternately either darker, oversaturated, washed out or simplified in an attempt to make it overstylised. Like, what the hell?!
I has to FAP!
FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP
What happened to Fatimmortal?
Aww...why do I prefer some of the old scenes?
On the bright side, the Nadeko Hajime Ueda ED is made of awesome.
Oh, and the full ver. of FUWAFUWARUFUWAFUWARI is out.
what ever happened to ugly eye?
he became a diablo imp character
ugly eyes the immortal
rakinishu!
and all he does is blink with his ugly eyes thats why you cant kill him
he became a diablo imp character
ugly eyes the immortal
all he does is blink like a fag thats why you cant kill him

This might actually make me fap for the first time in.... months.
YOU HAVE TO DIE!
DIE FAST AND EASY! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE! FOR GOD WANTS YOU TO!
Even the OP is more cancerous, got the creditless a few days ago. Loop playback must be done. Wonder if they're going to make longer version.
So, she gave head to a ghost dick? What?
From the looks if it you have to have both the old episodes AND the DVD version to truly have every scene.
No, no, no...you got it all wrong.
The snake simply inserted its tail into her mouth and partially down her throat, that's all.
wooh! ghost dick FTW!
wooh! ghost dicks are f'in awesome! :OOO
It's the proper method of exorcism when you encounter a poltercock.
Kissing a girl who sucked off a snake...
I'm either a bit disappointed or extremely turned on.
a reverse ghost blowjob?
"When theres something strange, cuming n your mouth, who ya gonna call?"
Ghost-Fuckers!
you sure its both versions?
This I approve.
MOAR FAN CERVIX!
icwutudithar >:-}
^this
Revised OP is amazing.
Can't wait to see the new episode 10.
Bakemonogatari feels so unfinished that it seems Shaft purposely withheld stuff to push dvd sales.
It's funny seeing fanboys claiming photography stills and other cheap production tricks to lower costs in the anime as "artistic", then praising Shaft when those scenes are animated in the dvd.
Some idiots really were too ignorant to be aware that Shaft was lacking of manpower that time, not being lazy like Xebec and some other production..
That's the producer's problem and it is his job to properly budget manpower, time and money to make sure things get done. What else is he there for, sit there and look pretty?
Maybe blind fanboys will praise any unfinished crap their favorite anime producers will throw at them. Maybe the gay fanboys actually enjoy being shafted. Oh yes, Shaft, harder!

now i can die happy
Uhh....the revised versions are on the right, not left :T
With Bakemonogatari, you cannot really be sure.
Other than that, Artefact can still put it on as one of his trademark traps:)
I prefer some of the old frames over the new
delicous loli cake!
Finally, this was by far the worse fucking episode I'd ever seen, and this is even including the other half finished episodes.
There must have been around 9 minutes of fragmented footage in this episode, the rest being black screen.

What are you talking about? They did an excellent job of drawing the invisible snake. Didn't you see it?
Props to 09:37 anon for the oh-so-subtle pun there. Made me laugh.
ah....yes, the king's new dress. only FOOLS cant see it!
It's pretty hard when you're short on staff and have a tight schedule. Still, episode 10 was pretty horrible on SHAFT's part and hopefully we won't get an episode like that again.

All hail the loli queen !
They had to fuck up,lol.
Why change the designs and redo it completely? They just needed to *complete*, nothing more.
Well, the original was a slideshow piece of shit, anyway.
My life is complete.
I agreed with you; (I've just checked the episode in question from gg subs)
Just, it bothers me why the changes look so.... distorded??
I mean just look how long the neck is from Senjogahara.....
Still the Nadeko snake is much better :P
Looks like Shaft messed up the proportion and turned Senjogahara into some kind of weird freak.
she looks like a man in that revised pic
I think I prefer the TV version.
Me too. A lot of scenes were nicer in the TV version, from previous episodes too. It seems to me like SHAFT is encouraging the illegal download of TV-rips, because if people liked the TV version more, that's pretty much their only choice. Let's wait and see who gets shafted in the long run.

I might be a minority here but what they did to her, I don´t like it.
The older scenes were cuter and more lighthearted.
...
*You look at the ground to find CoreFlood passed out on the ground in a pool of blood still streaming out of his nose...*
SHAFT, I'm so proud of you... You make both Nadeko and Hanekawa worth fapping to in both versions..
Also, Senjougahara's grin in pic 42... :3
I was surprised at how much re-working was included, the bookstore scene seemed almost totally new, it was nice that they added more detail to Tsubasa's features.
Btw, Kana/Nadeko's commentary is awesome. Her reaction to Nadeko's pantsu flash was really funny.
Gotta love that last gif xD
This show rules gosh dern it
Kami-sama arigatou~
TV Version ftw, they made senjogahara look like something out of a shonen fighting manga... http://img4.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/bakemonogatari-nadeko-shafted/bakemonogatari-fourth-dvd-blu-ray-comparison-006.jpg
Tv Senjogahara is way better than BR one.
Now if this were the seductress murderer. I'll gladly die for her.

The TV version seems better than DVD
lol, invisible gohst snake dick
Seriously, the stuff on the right is just better. Not only due to exposure, but also due to the sheer character and the way it is represented in.
TV=moe
DVD=ecchi
On one hand, I want to support Shaft for the highly enjoyable Bakemonogatari.
On the other hand, I cannot condone such a dubious practice to sell dvds.
"Okay, we've run out of money, so we'll just throw in blank screens and still pictures. If you really want to see these scenes animated, buy the dvds!"

How many discs will there be? what Eps is on BD #4? :|
セーノ!でもそんなじゃ駄目!もうそんなじゃホラ?心をしんかするよもっともっと!

Also, anti-Nadeko downvote fag spotted...
yummy
I simply love Nadeko!!
A lot of these changes aren't improvements to me.
The TV scenery shots looked better/more detailled, but some of the new faces look just gorgeous.
Like here:

I came.....so very hard.
Goddammit Nadeko, why do I feel so dirty every time I look at your body...
What a terrible anime. Good for guys who will never get laid though.
You obvious haven't watched nor heard of the source material.I take it that you think every anime that has a woman revealing some figure "good for guys that never get laid".
congrats on your attempt to be different and cool, that's what you were going for right?
So a BD improvement now entails mystical loli throat fucking? If so, Darker Than Black better step its game up....
