I blame video games.Remember the days where you can watch a show on TV and expect it to complete at the end of a run? Those days are DEAD!

Not to mention 0:54. Shaft have sold out to otaku.
Yeah, but it's not out of line with what was already in the TV show. The first couple episodes had worse fanservice than that.
And the 41 second mark. And around 55 seconds in too.
Still a good OP regardless of their presence.
Shaft's artistic integrity is in SHAMBLES.

I fucking called it!
I called it right when it started airing, I KNEW IT!
It makes sense from a sales standpoint, and that kind of stuff is really for the fans. The
Good End

Are we talking about Oreimo levels of extra episode trolling here?
I really gotta see this Natsu no Arashi everybody is fawning over. It's pretty much the only Shaft production I havent seen or owned.
But that implies that at some point, SHAFT hadn't sold out to otaku.

I'd go as far as to say it's a great OP. In fact, I've argued that in the past!
Oh, I mean, uh, yeah, what an IS ripoff!
Found three pantyshots in the Soredemo BD OP.

(NSFW?) Not gratuitous by any means.
It's really just firehawk and me fawning over it, it's not considered an overlooked gem by AnimeGAF by any stretch of the imagination, hah.

DvD/BD episodes are just DLC analogs.
I accidentally copied the links with the image tags instead of url tags. Fixed it ten seconds after posting.

This is clearly the greatest thing to come from that game. I've already watched it multiple times.
This has me cracking up.
Well yes, when you pause the exact time and blow the picture up it looks pretty blatant. I even suspect some otaku actually did that. And probably do it with every OP looking for a panty shot.

Well, they're certainly not gratuitous, but their addition detracts from the original work. They didn't need to and insert them into the work and we all know the reason why they were added.
Have you ever watched people ballroom dancing? (not like Cinderella shit but actual ballroom dancing and especially the country music sort) Even in that classy environment you see panties everywhere. Its pretty much just accepted in dancing. I'm not exactly against it either.

Of course you wouldn't.
I would say it makes it even more classy.
Stop being so entitled.

Further evidence that Asura's Wrath totally nailed the anime thing!
I certainly didn't mean to imply that they were acceptable just because they weren't gratuitous; that was more an accompanying statement to the NSFW warning. I'm absolutely of the mind that any downgrade in Soredemo's level of class is too much.
They tried to appeal to otakus and failed. Now, they're just intent on going out in a blaze of glory.

The panty shots there are very inoffensive, but the problem is that they are also unnecessary. It's very obvious why SHAFT would consider putting them there in an otherwise fairly innocent sequence.
Round Table OPs are always great. Fact. When you throw SHAFT and Maaya Sakamoto into the mix, you'd have to work really, really hard to mess it up.
ITS A SHOW ABOUT SETTING UP A MAID CAFE.
Like what--extra furniture in the background?

Not the impression I would get from watching just the OP, which is my point.
Because people have underwear under skirts, which may show when they go up a bit?
Seriously, it's hilarious to see people so offended and outraged by panties when they're presented in this fashion. Even movies from the American 1940s show panties briefly when there's a dance where a woman kicks up her leg or something. People in here are more morally outraged at this than 1940s America would be (other than it being Japanese made...)
Awful.
Who knows, I have not watched the show yet. Surely, there are other things that could have been fixed up a bit for the disc release if they're taking the time to do so anyway.
The thing is, I'm hard-pressed to think of any significant thing that they could have added to the show. If they chose to add in split-second flashes of pantsu, who cares.
I think if all SHAFT fanservice was like that no one would be upset. I guess it's an issue of knowing where it's coming from and what they're capable of.
Soredemo is probably one of the only SHAFT shows where you can make an argument for them not having to fix half the show for the disc release.

Don't tread on me, bro!
Fair enough, then. I agree that this addition is pretty trivial, regardless of how you look at it.

For some reason this particular confusion over two different titles tickles me.
