Primarily an Anime trope. The anime Fandom has named this being "Shafted" after the Studio Shaft, which uses this on nearly every series it produces. Unrelated to Better on DVD, which is “archive binge enhances the series.” Compare Re Cut, 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.
