Well, what do you know? Soon after I made my previous post, a Tweet comes out that claims there will be a DAL-related livestream on April 5, 2023! I hope we get some good DAL-related news.

Though it seems like they were saving up the fanservice for certain parts towards the end of the season…
Can you link me to the specific posts you made regarding this in the DAL IV anime thread? I still don't know why they had to censor the previously-allowed things so much (I bet that Tenka's Astral Dress almost went on the chopping block too for "being too revealing"). So is there no hope we can get hold of the original uncensored versions and Tsunako designs? Maybe it was because the production committee were told to make DAL more appealing to younger teens?

As for the "censorship being lifted at the end of the season," I look at the original LN illustration of Kurumi during that scene from Vol. 16, then I look at the official figure that came out for it, and then I look at the anime version of that scene plus the Megami magazine poster of that scene, and can't help but sigh in disappointment. This isn't the animated DAL that was promised to us by the LN.
