What is seen of the rest of the bathroom in the anime adaptation is that there lacks bathing accessories which are seen in the manga version. There also is no sign of Erza singing in the anime adaptation while the manga implies it with a musical note coming out of a speech bubble. The anime reveals that the flower bathtub is colored purple with the petal edges are pink and that the towels and bubble bath are white.
