  21. Continuing the trend of removing bits of Nipa's face, the shadow below her mouth has been deleted.
  22. Naoe is higher up and to the right in this shot, keeping the focus on her speaking rather than on Hikari's busom.

  43. For this sequence of Sadako cooking, she's been completely redrawn;
  44. Hahahahahahahahahaha
  45. Hikari has been redrawn slightly. Side note, since her blush marks and general skin tone is the same, I'm starting to suspect they use a digital texture or something to quickly fill in faces.
  46. Hikari and Nipa have both been redrawn
  47. The background to Nao doing some crossfit has been moved slightly.
  49. The lighting on Chidori is very slightly darker, and for precisely 3 frames, Sasha's hand was the same colour as her skirt.

  51. Different lighting, smaller propellors.
  52. Rossman's shirt colar has been fixed.
  53. Different lighting and slightly different particles.
  54. The anatomy is still a bit messed up, but they fixed some obvious CG hallmarks like the weird hair shines and too-3D looking shading.

  62. The timing on Nao's mouth is different.
  63. Alongside the eye shines, Hikari's hair shine is now missing a patch. Sasha's left iris has a different lower outline.
  64. Rall's shirt is now the correct colour, but more interestingly than that, the shine on her hair lacked the usual yellow tint in the TV version.

  66. The highlight on Sasha's tights are more diffuse in these two shots.
  67. The lighting is darker and even, and more importantly, Nao is now flying the correct striker unit! Probably a stock footage mixup, the strikers are similar looking and both based on variants of the the Shiden fighter plane.
  68. The red glowies are still present, the underlighting provided by the magic circles is slightly dimmer, and Nao's face has been slightly redrawn with a rounder jawline.
  69. The lighting on Nipa and Nao's weapons is lighter, Sasha's face has been redrawn, and Hikari is floating lower and further away from the group.

  78. This tense action shot has had it's only muzzle flash removed. Weird. Also they fixed Nao's missing left magic punch glove.

  80. The shading on Nao's face is less sharp and jojo-y.
  81. Hikari is holder her weapon lower, Nao is recoloured.
  82. Clouds!
  83. Brighter flash, slightly different clouds.

  96. Hikari's ear fluffs are brighter and her nose has lost it's shadow.
  97. Nao is holding her weapon at a different angle and Hikari has thicker outlines in a few places. Most noticeable on her hands and the detail lines on her striker.
  98. The lower half of Nao's shirt has been removed, probably because it was static and removing it would be less work than animating it. Also, they fixed her occasionally vanishing right ear.
  99. She's been repositioned slightly and her weapons shoulder strap goes over the shoulder now, not into it.
  100. Hikari has been moved up slightly to make it look less like she's about to cause a collision.
  101. Nose shadow!
  102. The branch intersecting Nipa's side has been removed and her mouth animation is delayed by a few frames.
  103. More brighter ear fluff.
  104. More Less of this branch.
  105. Ears and nose!
  106. Nipa's weapon is shaded darker.
  107. And Nao's weapon strap and vents have been drawn in. Her mouth is a fraction closer to the middle of her face, and all the characters have upgraded eye beams.

  109. Brighter flash and much cleaner image quality.
  110. Usual cg character replacement switch. By moving Nao around a bit, the sparks streaming from her striker look more like they're coming from the propeller rather than just forward of it.

  124. Nose shadow!
