| I suppose it's not fanservice that I dislike, more how it's executed. I've only seen a few anime that actually manage to pull off fanservice without making them seem stupidly immature. I find it hard to take anime with fanservice seriously, so that's why I hate it. |
| Fanservice is only good if the anime its based around it. Take Highschool of the Dead for example. The anime would amazing if there was no fanservice. Sure there would be episode about plot development and a little skin exposure. But, when your battling zombies, where would rather look? At the zombies attacking you? Or up a girl's skirt? |
| Minimal fan service - whatever, I just look past it. Obnoxious levels of fan service - Annoying, usually won't even watch those kind of shows. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| I don't care as long it's subtle. Any more than the occasional panty/cleavage shot and it gets annoying. |
| enjoy a mild one once in a while |
| Hmm, it depends really. Nothing ruins a serious moment like a random ass or breast shot, but other than that it really doesn't bother me. |

| Commonly made thread. I enjoy my fanservice but not all. I'm not a big fan of the extremely high level clothing damage trope where the girls literally lose a good portion of their clothing from the most simplest attacks. /punches girl in chest *boom* /entire chest part of clothing explodes off. When I'm watching fight scenes, I'd prefer to watch it for the fighting. Examples of these: Ikki Tousen Seikon no Qwaser Freezing Now in hentai, I could care less, I never watch hentai for the fighting scenes. The only exception I think I have so far would be Highschool DxD, only because the MC's special attack itself is to destroy the clothing of a person, that being a girl, literally. It was called Dress Break. Oh also, I don't like crappy levels of ecchi. If you're gonna main a ecchi genre, bare it all or gtfo. What show am I talking about? Rosario Vampire, nothing but shitty panty shots the entire first season. Already ruined the plot, gotta ruin the fanservice as well. For the ecchi I do enjoy, it'd be the more casual stuff (that you'd only see in anime of course), or comedy based ecchi themes. |

| I actually don't really care. If an anime has fanservice then good for them, if it doesn't then good for them too! |
Virtual_BS said: Yes. Not too much though to the point that there's nothing else to the show. Strike Witches has just the right amount. I personally thought strike witches could have used a few more panty shots.....but thats just me |

| I think fan service is ok, but with anything it has to be in moderation (High school of the Dead is a example of overdoing it). |
| Fanservice is indifferent to me. But sometimes can be a no to me. It's never a "yes", unless it's manservice .. :3 |
 |
| Why does everyone keep saying high school of the dead had heaps of fan service? I honestly didnt think they really had that much (i'm not joking) |

 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |

The only really fan servicey part that really stuck in my heas was when that guy was sniping on suger tits chest (the names escape me and i'm not going to google search it, i'll leave it to a fan) |

| Fan service is shit The only fan service I thought was pulled off rather well was in Redline. It only happened once throughout the whole movie, and it occurred in a natural, non forced way. In other words, they kept it classy. |

| I like the tits,ass and panty shots fanservice. I wish the live action shows had fan service like that in them. |
| When it's done creatively like in the 'Monogatari series (Nisemonogatari especially) It's great. If it's done in a way that doesn't distract me (For example, Strike Witches) then I won't care. If it's over the top and incredibly distracting, I absolutely despise it. |
 |
| i enjoy fan service :D |
| I'm kinda neutral about it but fanservice in scenes that are supposed to be serious can get annoying. |
| I really don't care as long as it doesn't get in the way. I wouldn't really pick out my anime just because of fanservice. Though I might enjoy "fanservice" like in the KHR OVA. |

| Depends. I rarely watch shows with fanservice, but it doesn't bother me if it's clear the anime is going to have it because I can just avoid watching it. |

| Are we talking about any type of fanservice, or specifically ecchi fanservice? I don't mind anything that's fanservice. |
 |
| If it isn't the main point of the anime, it doesn't really matter, in fact I welcome it sometimes. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| I do not really pay attention to fan service. It won't make an anime for me and it won't break it. Extremes are always annoying of course, from both sides. However, I find it very enjoyable when it is done well, tastefully, and not overly vulgar. Then again, that might not actually be considered fan-service. Infact, it probably isn't. Maybe halfway there? Dunno really. |

| Hmm.. I think the topic is more complicated than that because fan-service isn't always the same. There have been shows that threw faservice where it felt completely unneeded and actually harming the show but there also shows full of fanservice that have no purpose of existing without it. What i do hate though is when we have a very good show and shows some nakedness with a different style that the silly ecchi fanservice style and people start "OMG! such a good show and now it has been ruined because i saw little seconds of nakedness" For fucks sake, when it's shown in a natural way it isn't like that, stop being elitist pricks trying to play the all serious critics, you actually only show you are kids that haven't matured enough and learn to be more relax and settle with their self and their hormones. no_good_name said: Itermin8rX said: Churuya_San said: Fanservice is indifferent to me.

I already saw two shows this season and am not talking about shoujo or yaoi shows. |
Monad said: What i do hate though is when we have a very good show and shows some nakedness with a different style that the silly ecchi fanservice style and people start "OMG! such a good show and now it has been ruined because i saw little seconds of nakedness" I agree with this. People tend to exaggerate about these things in the anime community. It's natural to show these things when their natural time comes, in a natural way. ;D |

| No- If the fanservice is blatant. Indifferent- If the fanserivce shown is at a decent level. |

no_good_name said: i cant think of a single show that has manservice Utena is quite a famous example. Fanservice is a tool. It isn't good or bad in of itself, it all depends what you do with it. |
| for the most part no i won't watch shows like strike witches because it doesn't look like there is any story behind the show. though i saw that people were talking about high school of the dead; i thought that was pretty fun to watch lol. it might be because they aren't kids flying around in their underwear. |
 |
| Indifferent. I know what I'm getting into. The problem is when fanservice appears where it's not needed. |
 |
| I couldn't give a damn about fanservice. Of course , it is always refreshing to look at a pretty face flashing some cleavage ( implying a good art too). I have no problem with that. The only problem is when fanservice is used just for the sake of fanservice. Unjustified bath scenes or useless beach trips episodes. It's really hard for me to respect a female character that spends more time undressed then dressed... wait a minute .... Nevermind. |
| I don't mind unless it's too much. |
| apparently some people burst into flames if they see boobs... i ran into one person who refused to watch an anime just because one of the characters boobs jiggled slightly on one part.... personally it does not bother me. but the people who overreact to it in a negative way.. do. |
