animated gif of an anime girl's legs walking away from a guy with the text "I really didn't want to consider this, but..." and she turns around, pivoting on her right leg but her legs don't switch positions when she turns around, instead her right leg turns into her left leg and her left into her right

Update on the infamous Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya leg swap!

Okay since we're on the topic of Escher Legs That Break Your Brain, I was going back and fixing animated gifs that were broken during the move to the dedicated site and came across the infamous leg swap from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where the character turns around but her legs don't physically switch places, her right just becomes her left and vice versa.  (This wasn't actually an Escher Girl, just an animation goof).

I thought I'd post it again since I had to upload it to the site anyway, and also add an update!

In the original post way back when somebody left a Disqus comment saying that the gif was edited to remove frames & the original didn't have this error.  It turns out this isn't true!  The original did have the error but it was fixed for the DVD and dub releases.

From the Anime News Network's Encyclopedia entry on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya:

In episode 8 (10th episode in chronological order) where Haruhi and Kyon are talking outside their rooms (at 4:20), we see Haruhi's legs as she paces. She pauses and turns to Kyon but her legs turn individually, her right leg becoming her left and her left becoming her right. This was fixed in the DVD version and dub.

I've included the before and after clips so you can see the fix they did (video clips from a Reddit thread on this same topic)
