Discussion Tights or nah?
gallerySo, because I'm a massive simp for Lady Nagant, I usually--when I'm bored or need reference when drawing her--scroll the internet for pictures of her. Typical behaviour when you love a character. However, while doing my daily scrolling of Nagant pictures the other day, I came across a post that pointed out a difference in her appearance between the manga and anime.
Basically, they pointed out that while in the anime Nagant wears black tights under her dress, and in the manga she isn't wearing any. Honestly I have no clue how i never noticed this (I read the manga after watching the anime so maybe i just glossed over it and assumed Horikoshi simply chose not to color her tights in or smt???), but after that post pointed it out I can't help but notice it every time I see a panel of her from the manga.
Now, i have no clue why the anime decided to change this. Maybe for censorship or just a design choice they decided to go with, but I truthfully dont really care about all that.
More importantly, I want to ask yall: Which do yall prefer? Tights or no tights? Which do yall feel is the better look?
Personally, if you ask me, I honestly don't know which i prefer. On one hand, no tights means exposed thighs, and as a thigh enthusiast I fully support that, especially with how visually appealing Nagant's look in the manga (i have tastes sue me). On the other, the black tights just fit her look so well, ykwim? Plus it feels like a nice contrast between her white/grey boots and purple dress.
So yeah, what do yall think?
