Description
of what effects the edits/changes had on the original story/plot (opinion)
|
|
TV Series: No affect on the story/plot, but the changing of the background music does alter the viewer's listening experience. Movie: The use of the alternate ending totally changed the ending of the movie. It's unknown why the two endings were created, but the Japanese choose one for a reason and it's not the place of an North American company to second-guess the original creators. |
