Because of God Eater, I got to know that the episodes in the Blu-ray often
differ from the episodes recorded on TV. As the Blu-ray is being released
after the series has been completed, the producers often modify the animation
of certain scenes.

[Here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/z2HkC.jpg)'s an example where you're able to
see these modifications.

But are there any legal streaming sites that sometimes or commonly replace the
TV version of an anime with the improved Blu-ray version once the latter one
becomes available? How does especially Netflix, who's recently been publishing
a lot of older animes (that are not currently airing on TV), handle this? Does
it just publish the Blu-ray version or does Netflix stick with the TV version?

Do the Blu-ray episodes replace the TV episodes on the Internet once they've been released?


Usually, it depends on whether the websites own the rights of the anime's Blu-
ray version, because the TV and Blu-ray versions act as separate entities for
commercial rights.

It depends; I do know that Funimation re-uploaded Highschool DxD season 3 to
the blu-ray version, as an example; they previously had the censored TV
version, and now it's the uncensored version. Meanwhile, Crunchyroll still has
the TV version.
