Infinite Stratos 2 does something neat on BD

Anyway, I’m just going to direct you to the IS2 BD recap at Kira Reviews from earlier tonight.  A few things that make this release eyebrow raising.

  1. This is a super early release for volume one.  By comparison, FREEZING Vibration’s 1st volume doesn’t hit shelves until Christmas, and it’s airing during the same anime season.
  2. IS2’s 1st volume only contains 1 episode.
  3. The episode apparently lacks nudity, but involves 16 minutes (!) of NEW footage, including some added fanservice.

That last part blows my mind.  If this trend continues with every episode, that’s going to add up to about 8 extra episodes of random content.  It also means every single episode is worth following even if there were no obvious chances for nudity on the TV version.  Though it sucks paying big bucks for just 1 episode, I still think this is an ingenious idea by 8-bit, especially if it means we get some nipple sightings out of the deal.
