Fanservice, which is not to be confused with characters which are promiscuous in canon, dispels dramatic tension and threatens suspension of disbelief by introducing superfluous details which are plot-breaking and character-breaking; it exists not to improve the story, but to take time away from the story to pander to the small segment of fans who find immature sexual innuendos stimulating.

Wow, I'm slightly impressed to see my own opinion already expressed in such an outstanding way ~

if a show needs ecchi scenes to keep the viewer interested then the writing in the anime probably sucks.

There is no such thing as an ecchi anime with good writing and compelling characters.

Thinking about it, attack on titan sales would probably doubled if it had fanservice in it.

SnK already has tons of female targeted fanservice
and stop calling SnK Attack on Titan, its not made by native English speakers


Attack on Titan is the name, get over it, we're writing in English and most of us don't speak Japanese.

fanservice in itself is not bad.. I mean that's why it's called fanservice. But too much of anything is bad especially if the fanservice is too overwhelming and the plot is getting inconsistent because of it. But I'm too lenient when it comes to fanservice that it doesn't affect me that much.
If it affects the plot then it isn't fanservice anymore. Fanservice is extra stuff not related to the plot added to please the fans. It just becomes part of the story like any other element if it does affect the plot.

Are we going to play Biljarts? Well let me put on my playboy suit and we arw ready to go <.<
Lies Fairy Tail has great fanservice because you get a lot of variety and not just panty shots or bath scenes. You get to see Erza in a bunny costume, Erza in a nurse outfit, Erza in a maid outfit, Erza in a cat costume. Who cares if it is not tagged ecchi? I rather watch Fairy Tail just for fanservice than stereotypical ecchi harem anime set in boring highschool . Fairy Tail also has a lot of focus on the girls and no lame, pathetic harem lead to get in the way and make things awkward like in typical ecchi harem anime.

It is the abomination of all anime and manga. All you have to do is throw in one fanservice scene, and you've ruined a whole episode/chapter. Throw in a few, and the work dies. It's no wonder people hate TTGL, KlK, and SAO.

Not. Shooting in the dark with SAO, btw.

Fanservice is just an appeal to the fanbase, be it ecchi, action, or otherwise. It basically comes down to the execution. You could argue that works which incorporate a lot of fanservice are inherently worse, but that's not necessarily true either. Only when it distracts from the purpose of the anime or weakens the narrative does it become negative.

i don't really have a problem with it, its just sometimes it feels like its thrown in there because the artist's/producers feel they HAVE to otherwise there going to be shunned by anime lovers for not showing sexy panty shots or beach episodes, it MOSTLY never develops plots, it dumbs down characters and doesn't do anything for them, its time wasting and..... i'm not going to say its horrible and i hate fan service i really don't but its tiresome to get through sometimes!

But fairytail is supposed to be action shounen show and not an ecchi show. It would be fine if it was a ecchi show but since it isn't it sucks.

An anime doesn't need an ecchi tag to have sexual fanservice. Other battle shonen anime have sexual fanservice, sexual fanservice isn't anything foreign to battle shonen anime. Fairy Tail just has more sexual fanservice than a typical battle shonen anime.

For me the things that are wrong with fanservice in a nonecchi anime are that it ruins
the intensity of the anime, ruins the romanticism and smoothness in the relationships
between characters, and it makes the guys look like annoying idiots (which sometimes they are).

In fact i'll admit that in most anime I watch I would be ten times more satisfied if the
characters had sex. Things like boobfalls, peeping, accidentally flipping skirts and what have you make the boys look like idiots and perverts, therefore reducing their appeal to the girls. This means that the girls will not be as romantically interested in them and nobody will have sex.

Characters are more likely to have sex if the males are not seen to be sex obsessed immature perverts by the girls.

Just take Yuusuke from Green Green as an example. He was a bit perverted but was soon discovered to be a kind and caring boy who actually cared about relasionships, and what do you know by episode 13 he got laid.

Fanservice should be the sweet icing on a well cooked cake.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

It depends on how is this fanservice used. If you start watching anime that is all about fanservice and that is its main selling point I dont see anything wrong with it and I can even enjoy it. For example stuff like to love-ru, Kiss x Sis, Nisemonogatari, Aki Sora, DNA² etc are perfectly fine and highly enjoyable.

But if you have this serious story and they decide to lighten up a mood and show you some panty shots, naked girls or some stupid beach/pool/onsen and whatever crappy episode its only annoying and totally ruins my anime.

So properly used fanservice which fits the story or theme of anime is fine. Fanservice which is used only to increase the sales or popularity of anime because they can't make a proper story or mood is simply bad.

But overall I will always prefer anime without fanservice.

Fanservice usually means a shit plot. Personally I don't have a problem with fanservice if it supplements the anime rather than be the main objective. As for the whole objectifying thing, there is a lot more shit out in the world that objectifies women than a simple panty shot in an anime. I'd say if you don't like it then just don;t watch it. There is no need to deny it to other people just because you don't like it yourself.

Your thoughts?



Nothing is wrong with fan service if placed correctly.

[N] If it's in the beginning before the characters even develop and used often throughout it usually just... sucks. used as filler however not even good filler just trash. To make up for a lack of original characters. Story. Etc

[Y] If placed between middle and end it is much better since you got to know the characters.

Not too wrong, that is, if they don't choose to sacrifice plot and story because of those moments. It actually costs more than just money to make an anime... poor trees...
