Anyone know anything about the Val x Love BD that came out yesterday?
🕑 Added 2019-12-21 03:52:05 +0000 UTCUpdate: An amazon.jp reviewer left a 1 star review titled "scam" and added a comment translated as "there was no lifting of the nipple." Playing around with google translate, I think what it probably means is "the ban on nipples was not lifted."
When a BD for an ecchi show comes out, especially if it's the first one, it's common for news to break about its contents that same day. It's been about a day and a half now, and I can't find any screencaps or breakdowns of the BDs. I've tried searching google and twitter and haven't even found so much as a testimonial.
The only evidence I have seen is that apparently someone uploaded this wall scroll which they claim was an extra. It's censored (boo!!) but it's worth noticing that the art style is that of the manga, not the anime. Promotional materials for nude ecchi shows are often non-nude so I'm not panicking just yet, but what does worry me is that the longer this news takes to break, the more likely the reason was because "there was nothing to report." Which obviously, would be a disaster.
I searched all over for any evidence I could find. Unfortunately the best I could do was finding this promo still, probably taken from a TV broadcast around the time episode 10 aired. The image choice seems to heavily imply redraws on BD. Series producer Avex Entertainment also recently uploaded a compilation video to youtube that is mostly dedicated to the censored ecchi scenes from the TV airing. Hmmm, just what are they getting at?
Of course, it's entirely possible that they are using these methods to try and deceive us into buying a blu-ray without any changes.
Tomorrow nylon66 will probably review episode 12 of Val x Love, maybe there's a small chance he mentions the reason for a lack of a BD review in that post.
Anyway, that's all I know and it ain't much. If anyone here happens to own the first blu-ray, or has any information on it's contents, please leave a comment.
