Accel World’s second Blu-ray volume has made its debut – and keeping true to its key of success, the series exploits a slab of female skin on the front cover, showcasing a misleading sight of bare female.
This series makes a habit and routine of flaunting female bodies in promotional artwork and other marketing devices in order to drive interest in all the wrong ways – its been mentioned many a time, although as this series hasn’t anything to its name aside from the aforementioned female physique, or the pork face for that matter, it’s quite clear why they depend on it.

It’s from a light novel, so I don’t see the problem

This relates to having an erotic Blu-ray cover how…?

The cover is cool enough for me to buy the BD, sadly there is no money to order. -sad face-

having dropped this long ago, have they really gone this low just to make sales?

“really gone this low just to make sales?”
They know it’s a cash cow right now, so of course they’re going to milk it. They aren’t making this series so someone will just “appreciate” the work. Studios will continue to crank out crappy anime after crappy anime, and all the merch and swag that comes with it to make money. It’s what a business is designed to do.

You would expect more people to understand this by default, an animation studio is a business.
