>>2561256suacenao delivers wonderfully, sentou mecha Xabungle ep. 42 22min in, and that really is casual, pretty much this exact image for all of 5 seconds at the end with zero reason or acknowledgement.
it reminds me of pic related from Fushiki no Kuni no Bird, which takes place in 1878 japan where such nudity is nothing more than a matter of fact way to beat the heat after hard work. It's fascinating that some vestige of this attitude survived a century later!
the girl who's fanning herself had a more embarrassed reaction and covers up in front a a stranger when she wakes up in a medicinal bath recovering from poisoning, so this is not just a lack of nudity taboo, but an show of camaraderie and familiarity, which is interesting as well.
does anyone know how long anything like this survived in real life japan?
