| I don't like it, but I think that's because most of the time it doesn't try to be done well anymore. Way too formulaic, obvious and more focus than side effect. The Monogatari series would be an example of creative fanservice, and I happened to really enjoy it. It has enough going for it aside from the fanservice and just does it vey clever and not that formulaic. Don't want to go into more detail right now, but fanservice can definitely be a reason to drop a show, if I get the impression that the show doesn't want to use it to actually service the fans of the show, but uses it to make people interested in a show that has nothing much going on aside from it in the first place. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The fact they have strong feelings against fan service indicates they are not fans of the shows that use it and should not act as if a show with fan service is in anyway harming itself for pleasing the fans the service is aimed at. I like fan service because I am a fan and not a fool that believes anime to simply be used for pretentious artistic(and often shitty) expression. |
 |
| Indifferent. I tend to not care, especially if I'm not the target audience of the show. |
 |
| I hate fanservice with all my strenght. |
 |
| Depends on which anime I'm watching ... sometimes I don't care (Highschool DXD) sometimes I like it (Freezing) and sometimes I hate it from the depths of my soul (Highschool of the Dead). |
 |
| I seem to be the only one willing to admit that I enjoy good fanservice. |

Fan service is one of the cheapest attempt to grab the attention of a viewer. If you actually think that it's OK for the author to take you as someone so shallow you'd like an anime more if they throw some boobs in your face. Well, good for you! I like fan service because I am a fan and not a fool that believes anime to simply be used for pretentious artistic(and often shitty) expression. So not liking fanservice = being "a fool that believes anime to simply be used for pretentious artistic(and often shitty) expression." LOL |
| I like fanservice for certain types of genres i.e. romantic comedy. Shows where there is some sort of seriousness to it, I would absolutely hate it if I saw fanservice. Also, I hate it when they have fanservice for popular shounen-ish anime. I mean Zero no Tsukaima (specfically the 2nd and 3rd season) have unbelievable amounts of ecchi. It's just deterring. And I'm one of the biggest perverts around! |
  |
| Yes. Not too much though to the point that there's nothing else to the show. Strike Witches has just the right amount. |
 |
| It got on my nerves in High School of the Dead that in every possible moment of a scene, fan service was used. Seriously, they're driving the hummer and drive over a bump in the road, then a quick transition to a boob jiggle. Countless other scenes of that nature, though I did enjoy the action, but felt I remembered more of the fan service than the actual story. Other than that, if it's not excessive, I don't mind it. |

If you actually think that it's OK for the author to take you as someone so shallow you'd like an anime more if they throw some boobs in your face. Well, good for you! And? If it works, it works. You or any other prat in this thread not liking isn't the measure of success for any anime that uses fan service. Am I okay with a writer doing what he/she wants with their story, yes. Am I okay with a business legally doing what makes that business money, yes. How cheap or shallow the techniques used don't matter so long as the effect they want happens. So not liking fanservice = being "a fool that believes anime to simply be used for pretentious artistic(and often shitty) expression." Pretty much. A lot of not liking fan service in any given anime/manga comes from the "fan" not getting the references or goal of the artist and proves that the "fan" in question isn't really a fan but rather a nit-picky passerby. |

| Yes, fan service is good. |
| I don't mind fanservice as long as there's small amount of it or it fits in the show. |

| I used to be really irritated at fanservice in shows that I really wanted to take seriously, but now I've seen so much of it in so many shows that I can't be bothered to get annoyed anymore. Now every time we get a random beach/hot springs episode, or the main walks in on a girl changing, trips, and gets his face stuffed between her tits, it's just like "Yep, I'm watching anime. Nothing new here." The only thing that does suck is I've probably lost my sense of what "normal" people would find acceptable in an anime if I recommended it to them. I've had a lot of awkward moments showing an anime I liked to less-experienced friends, and realizing halfway through a bad fanservice scene that "Oh. This shit might be a little weird." |

| Fan service sells. But I find it hard to watch these days, usually just skip the eps with alot of that. |

| i dont really care for fanservice if i wanted boobs i would just watch hentai |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| I don't mind it, its nice if its not overdone to shit and people are out of proportion (that woman on queens blade, WTF) also depends on the series really, i think it fits well in comedies more so than a completely serious show but even still it can go in there :P |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| Too much fanservice for me ruins the anime imo. So I like my anime to have little fanservice and more of plot, yeah? I can tolerate fanservice in general though. If it's made for comedic purposes then yes. |
 |
| I dislike it. why? mostly this: |
VanisherDec 2, 2012 1:38 PM
| I'm generally against it. If I really want to see a character naked, I can do that outside of the show. Within the show it's usually uncomfortable and forced. |
| I like ecchi shows, so for the most part I like fanservice. But I can understand how it might become an akward situation in a serious show. I for one will never drop a show becuase it has too many boobs or panty shots, just seems like a dumb reason to not watch a show. Check the rating before hand if its r+ expect it... |
| *Cringey anime weeb stuff* |
| It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't make the plot lose of its consistency lool but I dislike the uncalled for bath scenes. |

I like fan service because I am a fan and not a fool that believes anime to simply be used for pretentious artistic(and often shitty) expression. All I'm going to say is that that is a very closed minded view backed up by some flawed logic. As for the topic, the fan service in High School of the Dead was pretty tasteless and it actually hurt the show. I didn't mind it so much in Neon genesis Evangelion however because it was a lot more subtle. |

| I don't like fanservice. If I want to watch boobs I'll go to a pornsite. I don't need it in my anime. |
| I don't mind it every once in awhile. But generally, no. I stay away from it. |
