Welcome to the late summer update! We hope you'll enjoy what's in store. Thanks for your suggestions and apologies for any we missed.
We thank the anonymous commenter who suggested Pil's Adventures, a computer-animated medieval fairy tale. It was made in France but the version I obtained is the American dub (hélas!). I've edited together four transformation scenes.
In the first, the crown prince drinks a potion that turns him into a creature with the body of a cat and head of a chicken. Even better, in the next scene there's a hunky were-unicorn! Afterward come the reversion scenes for him and the cat-chicken. Bon appétit!
Episode 39 ("Contagion Island") involves a little monster who likes infecting people. This makes him grow bigger and turns his victims into demons (they look like "Gyuki" yokai). The main transformation in this episode involved a female character, but thankfully there was a male reversion scene. In this clip it's preceded by the infection scene and the monster's size growth.
Chapters 16-17 (from volume three) of this manga involve the protagonists following a villain into his cat café. It serves two varieties of tea, named after the two kinds of cats in the café: Scottish Fold and American Shorthair. Our heroes find out that anyone who drinks the tea will turn into one of those cat breeds...
Our thanks to Ian Ricky for providing all but one of these clips!
From the Hong Kong comedy film Tricky Brains (1991):
Chi Man Kit (Andy Lau) is seized by villains and forced to drink a whole bottle of "irresistible aphrodisiac." The overdose causes him to become incredibly strong and muscular:

From the Japanese film Kaiju Mono (2016): to combat a kaiju, Dr Saigo injects his assistant Nitta with a formula that turns him into a muscular giant. After an unsuccessful battle with the kaiju, Dr. Saig injects more formula into Nitta, tuning him into an older and more sinister giant.

Our thanks to Kevrai for finding this hulk-out scene from the Indonesian TV show Si Entong Abunawas Dari Betawi 2. This is from episode 17. Kevrai says he hasn't been able to find full episode and there might be a reversion later on.

Ian R. has assembled a compilation of scenes from episodes 91, 112, 113, 114, 115, 117, 120, and 121 of the anime Hunter X Hunter. It features the character Menthuthuyoupi, who undergoes a series of freaky transformations. Unfortunately YouTube is not allowing the clip to display when embedded, so here is a link to the video, which includes time stamps.
Our thanks to an anonymous commenter for recommending the next two items:
* Chapter 24 of the manga Teihen ryoushu no kanchigai eiyuutan has group dragon TF.
* Episode 19 of the webtoon The World After the Fall shows a man turning into a demon.

And now for a short art round-up!
First up, Loboleo has revamped and expanded his art gallery. Check out all the great werewolf art on his website.

Let's move on to some art from Twitter. Lots of NSFW material, so be warned. Don't worry if you don't have a twitter account--you can still see NSFW stuff on the Nitter links I've included.
Finally, a question for those who've made it so far--should we continue posting Art Round-Ups? TF art circulates pretty quickly on Twitter so a lot of it might be old news to you by the time we post it here. I don't know how useful you find our Art Round-Ups, so let us know.
My Little Juan is a Filipino fantasy-drama television series from 2013 (and a prequel to the series Juan De La Cruz). It has quite a lot of male aswang transformations and Ian Ricky has kindly identified and listed them for us.
Since YouTube doesn't allow most of the videos to play when embedded here, I'll post links instead.
* Episode 1 has transformations and reversions at:
The update is now live! And to be honest, it's incomplete. I ran out of time and wasn't able to post post around half a dozen items. But since I set a hard deadline, I wanted to meet it and not disappoint anyone. Nevertheless, I must apologize to several people whose suggestions I wasn't able to fulfill. Next time around!
I must also apologize for the long delay between updates, since I had less free time this spring. Kumaguma has suggested that we try making smaller and more frequent updates, and that's an idea I like and which we'll try to implement.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the 21 new items served up for your pleasure. Let me know of any errors or any suggestions you have (and any you think I've forgotten about!).
As always, my greatest thanks go to my co-editor Kumaguma, without whom this blog couldn't keep running.
Found in an anthology series based on The Boys universe, the short "An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents" has a group of abandoned teenagers taking vengeance on the parents who abandoned them because their superpowers weren't seen as profitable. One of them is Kingdom, who can transform into any animal in body and mind:
Another short from the series, "Boyd in 3D" shows a man testing an ointment that can change a person's appearance based on their imagination:
Thanks to noodle on our Discord server for recommending this scene from episode one of this Netflix series. A female spy has to go undercover in a male prison, so she shapeshifts into a man:
In this graphic novel the protagonist goes into the afterlife and meets his grandpa, who is represented as a child. When grandpa "grows inside" his spirit form also "ages."
Thanks to Noodles on our Discord server for recommending this computer animated short, about a hunter becomes the hunted when his tied-up prey sees the full moon rise:
And as a bonus, here's an episode from the YouTube animated series "Meet Arnold," titled "What if You Get Bitten by a Vampire and a Werewolf at the Same Time?"
Note: This is an expansion of an old post from 2012. We've revised it and added lots of images, including some unavailable anywhere else online.
Also known as The Dragon Dreams of Twilight, this two-volume manga stars Kiya, a lab-raised teenager who can turn into a dragon. He is forced by his handler T.J. to work for a secret organization that destroys monsters.
Here's his first transformation:
Here is a brief scene for those who like tails:
Next up, Kiya's longest transformation scene. How nice of the artist to spend five lovingly detailed pages on it!
Later on Kiya partially transforms at an awkward time:
At the end of the first volume (and beginning of the second), Kiya and T.J. run into some werewolf-like monsters. Kiya transforms, and then, at T. J.'s prompting, goes into berserk feral mode:
Only the first chapter of volume 2 was translated, and since I couldn't find raw scans online, I bought the book and scanned the TF scenes myself. You'll have to forgive my scanner's inferior visual quality. One more thing: I bought the German translation of volume 2, since it was cheaper than the Japanese original. So if you know German, you're in luck.
While on a cruise Kiya starts transforming:
Shortly afterward Kiya runs into another werewolf-type monster:
Back on land, Kiya undergoes an unexpected transformation at home:
And finally, here is a partial TF:
And that's all. What a pity this manga was never adapted as an anime!
