Off-Model: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'' suffers from this for one scene in episode 41, where Yusei, Lua, Luca and Aki's mom appear [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/0/02/5Dx041_Low_animation_budget.png REALLY BADLY DRAWN] with minimal shading and lack of detailed features. And yet when the camera pans out to see Aki's dad standing in front of Yusei, he appears normally drawn...

** This was fixed for the DVD release (or at least the 4Kids dub anyway), but Stardust Dragon's tail remains shoddily drawn.

* ''[[Bleach]]'' has often been afflicted with "[[Sarcasm Mode|quality animation]]", especially in [[Filler]] arcs.

* Despite the ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'' anime adaptation's severe animation-saving techniques, the character designs appear to change from episode to episode.

 

== Toys ==

* ''[[Transformers Generation One]]'' may have had a reputation of being this trope in both comics and cartoon, but it should also go with saying that the figures themselves are not immune due to their heritage of being from different lines:

** Ironhide and Ratchet for instance, have proper heads in all non-toy related material, but their original action figures don't. This is because the original figures were made in Japan for a different purpose- ''before'' the concept of Transformers came into play. Those figures were meant to be "armor" used by human pilots, but the idea was shelved when the toys were re-worked into transforming robots. In fact, there are even Bot-con and fan surrogate modifications that can be applied to these toys to give them actual heads.

** Compare the [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red and Blue]] [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e9/Spr_1b_109.png Koffing sprite] with its [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b3/Spr_4h_109.png HeartGold/SoulSilver sprite], for example. Ekans' Japanese Red/Green sprite also deserves mention; [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/cc/Spr_1g_023.png this] is supposed to be a snake.

** The worst part is that while the Blue Koffing had the skull-and-crossbones in the wrong place, the Red/Green sprite ''didn't''.

** The second generation was generally a lot better, but still had its share of off-model sprites. Most, if not all, of them were fixed in Crystal, though.

** While the third generation made a huge graphical leap in most areas, many of the sprites for new and old Pokémon were also quite awkward-looking. With the advent of the fourth generation, this was finally averted for good.

** Some common mistakes include placing Ferb's larger eye closer to the camera, the shape of Phineas' head, and Candace's eyes retaining shape when narrowed or closed.

** As well as Isabella being of various heights during the series' run. During ''Summer Belongs to You'', her height would vary from scene to scene (from just above Phineas to almost a head taller than him).

* During the episode "Once Burned" of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', Melanie's arm disappears ''completely'' for a millisecond as she turns Terry's face towards hers. Either that's QUALITY animation or his sexy gaze was so hot that it evaporated her arm for a moment...

* Certain episodes of ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]''. The DVD sets makes them rather easy to spot. Some episodes -- notably the earlier ones -- came out with moderately good animation ([[KKC and D Asia]]), sometimes gorgeous animation ([[Tokyo Movie Shinsha]]). But when the DVD sets starts getting into showing the much cheaper looking episodes (like from from [[Plus One Animation]] and [[Saerom]] in South Korea), the animation quality really goes to the dogs. And the episode "Station Identification" sees Peter Venkman briefly become blonde in one scene for no very good reason.
