I'd like to try some recent or currently running anime with a decent story and no fanservice. I'm getting sick of finding it in nearly every new thing I try to watch lately. (Last week on Vivid I saw a little girl get groped by a nun in a hot spring. Seriously!) I know I'm not the intended demographic for this type of thing and I don't seek it out, but lately I can't seem to get away from it.

So any recs with no panty shots, huge breasts, perverts, groping, women walking around in their underwear or half-naked people falling on top of one another? I know these still exist! Yona of the Dawn, Sailor Moon Crystal, Natsume's Book of Friends and Ronja the Robber's Daughter are good examples of great shows that I love.

Aria
Arakawa Under the Bridge
FLCL is short and no fanservice but it's hard to love xD
R.O.D. if you like books and fantasy
xxxHolic and other CLAMP anime does not rely on fanservice
Some old classics which I notice you have not seen as well e.g. Cowboy Bebop, Haibane Renmei, Lain
If you want to try some upsetting theme then Garden of Sinners and Shiki are really good, with non existent amount of shots you mentioned.

Yeah, that's why it's upsetting. That is not classifies as fanservice I believe.

Not sure the S;G one really qualifies as fanservice. It's not like it's flattering or revealing and they appear to have the figure of starving men.

I'll add a few, it is actually difficult to name shows that have no fan service at all. Which is kind of sad tbh. Although if you accept tame, infrequent fan service that isn't, as someone brilliantly put it, obnoxious, then there are far more options.

Also, does anything that isn't modest classify as fan service?


None that I can recall:

Attack on Titan
Toradora (aside from a beach episode, which a guy gets fan serviced, clean as hell though)
Madoka Magika (excluding one moment in the opening credits, again really clean show really)
Eureka Seven


Maybe some mild, infrequent fan service (if I can handle it, I'd say most can as I have a fairly low tolerance level for fan service):

Golden Time (I think it might have some very mild fan service, I'm not sure now)

Full Metal Panic Fumofu (none aside from a bikini ep that I recall, it didn't feel particularly fan serviced)

A Certain Scientific Railgun S (does have some very mild, cheesy service at the start but I think it is service free when the sisters arc kicks in)

Durarara (I can't remember any aside from Celty topless once and the twins in X2)

Baccano (can't recall any but I'm not confident enough to say there is none)

Bodacious Space Pirates, in spite of the name and in spite of the massive cast of high school girls, contains little (if any) fanservice. Overall very tasteful.

Unfortunately Cowboy Bebop, though excellent, does contain some fanservice (mostly of Faye). Maybe hold off on it until you feel it wouldn't bother you so much.

I swear fan service is almost non-existent in Bakemonogatari.. XD

Kidding aside, check:
Sakamichi no Apollon




Flames slowly die. Embers turns to ash. Heat turns cold.
As I close my eyes, visions of past flash before me. I open my eyes; all I see is black, white, and gray.

Programming aimed at appealing to the sexual organs instead of the brain is on the maturity level of a hormonal 14 year-old boy. Therefore, I AM looking to watch "more mature" stuff.
