Fa Running Through Infinity

Do you ever think about how starting with episode 26 of Zeta Gundam, the ED animation change is apparently layered on top of the original and there's a 1 frame cut at the end before every episode's 'next time on' where you can see it if you pause?

End credit scene from Zeta Gundam; the character Fa Yuiry is running through space with a green Haro robot; nebula and the moon make up the backdrop. There's a VLC video player window with the time stopped at 23:42
Timestamp 23:42:00 - new ED animation
Nearly the exact same shot except it's an older animation of Fa in a different outfit with significantly less detail in the background; the timestamp is the same
Timestamp 23:42:01 - old ED animation bleed

No? Just me? Here - you can see it in action in this gif:

Fa Yuiry running through space with Haro in a VLC window. At exactly 23:42, the frame abruptly cuts to a different shot of Fa and Haro running through space; the original ending visual; the VLC player pauses and mouses over the timestamp

(This might be specific to the creditless DVD versions)
