It's update time! Apologies for my absence. I know I promised two updates in September, but this will be the only one. However, it consists of 15 entries, which is a bit more than usual. This will also be the last update until late October, since I'm taking a vacation overseas next week. While I'm gone, make sure to check out Dutchbull's site, which updates Oct. 1, and Shadowlord Inc., which has just updated.
For this update I'd like to thank all the readers who sent their suggestions, especially Daymon. I ran out of time and had to postpone a few posts (including one on Doraemon) , but I think you'll agree that this update has plenty of good stuff!
Note: this post originally contained a video from an anime titled Call Me Tonight. However, the video was taken down by Dailymotion, and then Daymon informed me that Dragoniade had long ago uploaded the video to Shadowlord Inc under the title Pink Noise. So I urge you to watch that version instead and forget about my abortive effort. My apologies!

Klaw (Tiger, chicken, horse, goat, dog, bull, and pig transformations)
Klaw is a French comic drawn in a semi-manga style. It's the story of a teenager who finds out he can change into a tiger-man.
Let's start with the first tiger transformation, from Vol. 01. It's a bit underwhelming, but read onward:
Here's a better TF scene:
The next page shows the hero testing his powers:
Now we move on to Vol. 02. Here's a scene of the hero and his mentor reverting and transforming into their tiger forms:
Another short tiger TF:
Later we meet an elderly Asian man who can change into chicken dude:
In Vol. 03 the hero stumbles upon a dying friend and reverts to human form:
Then he absorbs his friend's goat transformation powers:
A partial tiger TF:
Followed by a tiger-horse-goat!
Later on, our costumed hero goes from anthro-goat form to full horse:
The next pic is only for foot and hoof fetishists!
Let's move on to Vol. 04. Here's a classic tiger transformation:
Followed by a sudden pig TF:
Then we get a horse TF and reversion:
Our last scans come from Vol. 05. Here's a guy turning into a dog-man:
And here's a gangster becoming a bull:
The scans from Vol. 04 and 05 were from different sources and had to be reassembled by me, so forgive their choppiness.
Last but not least, if you're intrigued by this comic, Vol. 01 will be translated into English next year, so keep an eye out for tiger-men in a comic shop near you!

The Art of Ferchoburton (Various Transformations)
Ferchoburton is one of my favorite new transformation artists. His specialty is photo-manipulation, which is notoriously tricky, and his recent photomanips are among the finest I've seen, thanks to the smooth and detailed morphing, which is most evident in the natural-looking snouts and claws. Lately he's been expanded his range of species with continually impressive results. Ferchoburton is his own model as well, and his expressions and poses demonstrate are vividly dramatic. You'll need a Furaffinity account to view his gallery, but that's free and easy to obtain.
While looking at his gallery, take note of his most recent werewolf pics. They're the result of a trade with yours truly. In exchange for them I'm writing Ferchoburton a transformation story--the first draft is done, and I'll start revising it after I finish this update!

Zombillenium V.3 (Demon Transformation)
This is a follow-up to my earlier post about Zombillenium, a French comic (bande dessinée).
The Zombillenium is a theme-park populated and run by supernatural creatures. As you might remember, in Volume One a human named Aurélien was transformed into a demon and joined the park's staff. There were no transformation scenes in the second volume, but the third makes up for that. Note: these scans are in Polish.
First the demon tf:
The next page is a reversion scene:
Several pages later, Aurélien gets upset:
That panicky werewolf is rather cute...

Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (Monster Transformations)
Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (2005-6) is part of the long-running Guyver franchise, which encompasses the source manga, an earlier anime, and a couple of live-action films. They all involve people getting turned into freaky animalistic monsters called "zoanoids."
Daymon suggested this series and volunteered to go through it for TF scenes. He came back with a truckload of material, and I can't thank him enough for his time and effort. Please give him a hand for this Herculean effort.
I decided to provide cued links to the episodes, rather than embedding them, because blogspot and youtube often mess up time cues if you embed the same video multiple times at different cues. Anyway, on with the show!
The first transformation from the first episode. Another TF occurs just a few seconds later.
The second episode has several people turning into bat-like beasts:
* Scene One
* Scene Two
* Scene Three
These are followed by transformations from:
* the third episode
* the fourth episode
* the fifth episode (the camera starts whirling around during the tf)
* the sixth episode
* the ninth episode
* the tenth episode
* the eleventh episode
Episode 13 splits its transformation scene. Here are the first and the second parts.
Episode 14 gives us a "zoalord" transformation while episode 16 has another moth-monster TF.
In episode 17 we get a quick tf followed by a scene of townspeople being transformed.
There's another quick TF in episode 21, and in episode 17 we see the Prime Minister transforming on TV, followed by stills of people transforming all over the world, and then a scene in the White House.
We close with the final TF, from episode 25.
Thanks again Daymon!

Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend (Fox Transformation)
Mythic Warriors was a Saturday morning cartoon retelling of Greek myths bowdlerized for children. Daymon suggested posting a scene from episode 8, "Odysseus and Circe." As everyone familiar with The Odyssey know, Circe is the enchantress who transformed Odysseus's sailors into pigs. This cartoon adds something new to Homer: Circe partially transforms Odysseus into a fox (presumably because Odysseus has the craftiness of one):
There's also a quick reversion scene of the sailors turning from pigs to humans.

Wounded (Werewolf Transformation)
Wounded is a handsome and well-made short film about a raid gone wrong and a suspect gone lycanthopic. Subtle use is made of the limited-budget special effects.
Mondaiji (Tiger Transformation)
Technically the full name of this anime is Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu Yo?
Anyway, Daymon tracked down a brief but exciting tiger transformation in episode 2:
Mondaiji Tiger Transformation Scene by kumaguma1
The video should start at the 8:51 mark.

Epic: Days of the Dinosaurs (Dingo Transformations)
Epic: Days of the Dinosaurs is an obscure Australian animated feature film from 1983. The story involves two feral children who were raised by dingoes and eventually transform into them to replace their parents. If I more time I'd make screencaps, since the transformation is well-done but too fast.
The video should be cued to the 58:00 mark. I learned of this film from a post at the Process forum by Bro4man, so the credit's his.

Producing Parker (Werewolf Transformation)
In episode 12 (season 2) of this Canadian cartoon, Simon overdoses on "man pills" and turns into wolfman. This clip was not only suggested by Daymon, but also edited by him. Many thanks!
Static Shock (Werewolf Transformation)
Here's an oldie but a goodie from the 90s animated series. Technically the character is a mutant--or, since "mutant" has racist connotations in the DC comics universe, a "metahuman"; the Static Shock cartoon avoided both terms and called them "bang-babies--but we'll just pretend he's a werewolf.

Thanks to Daymon for suggesting this.

Xiaolin Chronicles (Lizard Transformation)
Episode 14, "Heylin Within," shows junior hero PingPong drinking a potion and transforming into a lizard that seems to be a sort of monstrous chameleon. Go to the 11:00 mark.
Re: Hametora (Lion Transformation)
Daymon uncovered a lion transformation (complete with great clothes-ripping) in episode 4 of this anime.

Le Collège Invisible V.11 (Werewolf Transformation)
This is a follow-up to my earlier post about Le Collège Invisible, which is a french comic (bande dessinée) about teenagers attending a school for
magic. The hero's best friend, Thomas, is a werewolf, and in volume 11 we see him transform again:

The Venture Brothers (Hulk Transformation)
Thanks to Daymon for alerting me to a hulk-parody transformation in this popular Adult Swim action-comedy, taken from the episode "All This and Gargantua-2". The TF occurs at the 30 second mark in this video, which is hosted on the Adult Swim site. If it doesn't work in your region, go here and scroll to the 38:12 mark.
Here is a video added by me, Daymon, for the broken links:

Anime (& other Japanese stuff) Round-Up (Monster, demon, wolf, tiger, gorilla, and snake transformations)
Enjoy some TF sightings from the land of the rising sun:
Aaron reports a muscle-growth/clothes-bursting scene from episode 47 of Toriko.
Daymon reported the following seven entries:
* From episode 7 of Samurai Flamenco, a drug-dealer who turns into a cyborg gorilla with a guillotine in its chest. Thanks Japan.
* Two transformations from Bleach: a wolfy dream transformation from episode 310 and a villain reveals his monster form in 311.
* Dr. Slump features the character Tsukutsun Tsun, who transforms into a tiger whenever a girl touches him. His first transformation is in episode 90. The video is a low visual quality Catalan dub.
* Episode 16 of Tokyo Maijin has one character turning into a shadowy giant snake-like monster--a several seconds later his opponent turns into giant luminous tiger.
* From episode 96 of Hunter x Hunter 2011, a monster transformation.
* Episode 5 of the new Ushio and Tora series has a quick demon TF.
* Magetsukan Kitan is a manga, and in Vol. Ch. 6 we're introduced to a werewolf who transforms when he gets sexually aroused. Start reading here -- you can stop at page 22, when he reverts to human form.
Continuing with "other Japanese stuff," reader Dash Master 48 reports on monster transformations in the live action Kamen Rider Gaim, which involve a rider eating a fruit that turns him into a plant hybrid monster in episode 14. The first TF is at the very beginning, with rest at the 09:41 and 17:10 marks.
We conclude with an inquiry from a reader named Henry, who wonders if anyone knows what show this clip is from. If you know, do tell--I'm hoping the original footage is slower.
EDIT: An eagle-eyed anonymous user found the source. It's from a new anime called Bureau of Proto Society and can be seen at the 05:24 mark of the show's trailer.
