The series was released several times over the time:

  • the original broadcasts on MBS and TBS
  • one week late broadcast on CBC
  • webcast on Nico Nico Douga, Showtime and AnimeOne
  • three months late broadcast on AT-X
  • DVD/BD release

This page is a work-in-progress attempt to list at least some of the changes made to the episodes in later revisions.

Episode 1

AT-X version

  • In the original broadcast, all the background music (most notably, Magia played during the prologue scene) is played slower and at a lower pitch. In the AT-X version (and reportedly the webcast version, too), this was corrected, causing the need for the tunes to be edited differently to fit the video.[1]

Annotations

  1. Although the slowed-down version of Magia was thought to be intentional by many, this is likely a production error in the original version. The difference in speed and pitch is equal to playing a digital recording recorded at the sample rate of 48000 Hz (common for studio recording, DVD/BD and broadcast) as 44100 Hz (used on audio CDs). It probably means that there was some mistake during some stage of distribution or editing of the music recordings. Pitch of background music has been also corrected for all subsequent episodes.
