I just got done watching volume two. Not only was there no nudity, but there were chances for nudity that were not capitalized on. On multiple occasions shirts were ripped open, only to have the remnants of clothing faithfully clinging to the nipple areas, often with a comfortable amount of room to spare.
This delivers a pretty big blow to my optimism for this series, and the fact that they refused on a few occasions to even show pantsu shots is definitely not helping.
Of note, the 2nd volume of this series was two episodes instead of one, and both were 23 minutes in length. Basically, it was a totally normal blu-ray release, so I guess all the added footage in volume one was just a one time deal. That’s also pretty disappointing.
The original series did not have a ton of nudity, but they did show nipples at least 3 times that I remember off the top of my head. Walkure Romanze has shown nipples. 8-bit is on the stingy side with nudity it’s true, but to not show at least a little nudity in an Infinite Stratos season would feel like a bit of a betrayal, similar to Haganai Next. Anyway, I’ll probably back off from this series until the final volume (hot springs episode), or until news of surprise nudity hits the interwebs before then.
