One nipple, one blank boob. Ecchi fans shed a single tear.
Rail Wars once did this on AT-X, but corrected it on BD. I figured it was a goof up or maybe a weird joke.
Hard to figure what 8 bit was thinking here. I guess it could be a simple mistake, but when you only have maybe one nude scene in the entire anime, it seems unlikely to be an oversight.
Granted, the manga version of the Absolute Duo light novel was non-nude and strongly resembled other generic non-nude ecchi anime such as Trinity Seven or Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance . To get any nudity at all is a win. Given how hard it is to see the nipple they did paste on, you wonder if 8 bit was instructed to avoid nudity but wanted to sneak this one by?
Anyway, this doesn’t bode well for future volumes, nor does the fact that this was apparently the ONLY change in volume two that upped the fanservice level in any way, with 8 bit instead opting for a barrage of SHAFT style redraws to faces and outfits. At least they included some nice artwork:
