As C3′s third Blu-ray volume is soon to arrive, immediately otaku noticed that the volume’s jacket illustration of two females embracing one another, blouse open, and breasts pressed together, resembles yuri hentai.
Shiraho and Sovereignty, pictured below, allow their ample chested bare bodies to become well acquainted with one another – a scene which if someone knew no better, would lead them to think they’re looking at the optical media case of a softcore yuri hentai, however those who have seen the dreadful series know that is not the case. Yet this occurrence is nothing new – C3 continues to market itself far differently than it truly is, although either way, its still an anime full of fail.

*Sigh* Is that really an acceptable marketing-tactic now? I’m all for Yuri & Bewbs but this is misleading and stupid

“Is that really an acceptable marketing tactic now?”
As long as they think it will bring in even one sale more – which still had C3 fall far short of what would’ve been considered a success – then regrettably yes.
Unfortunately this isn’t even the most egregious example of misleading promotion I’ve seen of late. If you would, check this out:

By the cover, you’d think this a full-blown hentai; which really is quite insulting to those who know the series. It couldn’t be anything further from the truth.
