For whatever fetishistic purposes, a scene of Shuraragi-kun carrying his colossal imouto in Nisemonogatari was edited to show her wearing socks – yet SHAFT made one mistake almost as menial as the original alteration.
While SHAFT edited this episode on the third Blu-ray volume to become more considerate of special interests, which is quite respectable, the episode now has a sort of paradigm when witnessed on Blu-ray. The scene starts with socks, yet the socks then disappear and reappear sporadically depending on camera angle. Assuming SHAFT didn’t purposefully do this, it would be an understandable human error – however, that doesn’t make it any less surprising to see as SHAFT is one of the top animation studios in existence, it’s hard to imagine how they missed a silly flaw as this.
SHAFT is also known for their gags and odd behavior however, and this could simply be something sprouting as result of that – perhaps its an inside joke at the expense of imouto?

They couldn’t decide if she looked sexier with or without the socks.
Personally, I think her feet are beautiful and she should never wear socks or even shoes.
May 24, 2012 @ 16:07 CDT
She shouldn’t even wear clothes – this is preposterous as is.
May 24, 2012 @ 20:25 CDT
If the imouto is not wearing anything, they may not even make it to the bed.

Developed countries and their freedoms.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed SHAFT was just trollin
May 24, 2012 @ 14:27 CDT
I’d be bold enough deem it a mistake but… who knows? SHAFT might just be the biggest trollers ever.
May 24, 2012 @ 16:16 CDT
I have trouble believing they made a mistake – if anything, it has to be some sort of in-joke.
May 24, 2012 @ 17:17 CDT
They do like messing around with everything and anything so it’s quite possible it’s a joke, indeed.
May 24, 2012 @ 22:11 CDT
To take the joke further, any scene in which the socks disappear from imouto’s feet, they should’ve appeared on Shuraragi’s hands.

Genius, this guy is a genius.
May 24, 2012 @ 14:33 CDT
LOL Oh well still a freaking awesome anime X3

Socked feet are pretty, bare feet are pretty. Appreciate the apple when you have apples, endear the orange when it is orange’time.

Weird…I agree, must’ve been human error. Everyone makes mistakes, even godly animation studios :)
May 24, 2012 @ 15:30 CDT
I’m sure they did it on a purpose.
May 24, 2012 @ 15:59 CDT
This way, you get the best of both worlds, both feet, and sock fetishists everywhere shall be rejoicing this discovery.
May 24, 2012 @ 16:09 CDT
And it was on that day, no fetishes went unsatisfied.
May 24, 2012 @ 16:20 CDT
…no diaper scene. Just sayin’

It’s all about shimapan or nopan.
May 24, 2012 @ 20:27 CDT
No pan is the plan….
May 24, 2012 @ 16:28 CDT
SHAFT tries to fulfill both our foot fetish and sock fetish.
It worked.
May 24, 2012 @ 16:31 CDT
SHAFT also tried to fulfill the imouto in red and contemporary furniture fetish – it worked.

Gotta make a meme outta this!
