Have you ever watched an anime that had so much fan service you had to stop watching it? Do you think fanservice ruins any anime?

Copious amounts of fan service can bring an anime down but as long as there is a decent plot/characters fan service is alright.

If you're talking about fan service in general, then I don't think fan service is necessarily a bad thing, especially if I'm a fan of the series. A little of it is fine for me. Of course, too much of it would probably hurt my enjoyment (like with everything in life).

I'm not a fan of more "ecchi" type fan service though. >.<

It's service for fans, so the fans probably like it and buy every bru-ray.

No matter how much the fanservice I still finish what I start.. I don't think it ruins the anime but it depends on how it's used.. If there's a dangerous atmosphere and some chick is running butt ass naked in a humorous way the tension goes to crap.. But there are times where I barely notice.. Like Kill la Kill.. Ryuko and Satsuki battle in skimpy clothes yet I'm not bothered by it at all

Fanservice taints any anime it's in, except the kind that makes a genre out of it, I guess.

Even though I love Code Geass, the over-sexualisation of female characters through fanservice was extremely irritating.

I don't like fanservice, but it has never ruined an anime for me. I tend to avoid series that are notorious for having tons of it, though.

I find it takes away sometimes. Nisemonogatari comes to mind as a show I would of liked alot more without as much fan service.

Also, I feel likes I've seen at least 5 other threads about this before...

Fan service has only ruined one anime for me and that was HOTD because I was foolishly expecting something else. Even then, it wasn't tooooo bad once I realized what it actually was.

Everything else was expected, thus it did not ruin it for me, as long as the fan service knew it's place and kept it's nose out of the important bits.

It's honestly not that much of a problem, especially if it's good fan serivce.

Yes, those times when you start an anime that doesn't have the ecchi tag (so you don't expect any fanservice) or if it has ir you just thought it was going to be toned down and then bam, the boobs get more screen time than the plot or the gags.
Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia and Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai! are some offenders, and none of them have the ecchi tag.

I'm fine with fan service as long as it has at least something to do with the plot, not like having a beach episode for no reason.

A good example of good fan service would be the recent episode of Nisekoi, yes it was was the pool episode but we had story line progression between Raku, Onodera, and Ruri mixed in.

Besides the skimpy clothing and Ragyo's moment in episode 16(lol paid the price after that) it's not fanservice heavy.. Just two girls in skimpy clothing fighting plus the fanservice ties into the plot

>Kill la kill would have been better without the fan service

Kill la kill IS fan service. The entire fucking plot of the show is based off god damn clothing, and there is even an organization called "Nudist Beach" for crying out loud.

If it didn't have it's fan service, it honestly would make a lot less sense. It didn't ruin it, it MADE it.

Excessive fan service can often degrade the quality of a show. Nisemonogatari comes to mind immediately here. But if it's kept under control, then I don't see it detracting from the other aspects around it. It's only a bother if it does interfere with those elements.

I don't think fan service ruins an anime, but the amount of fan service can form my opinion of the show immediately if nothing else of interest happens. Maoyuu Mao Yuusha for example starts it's first episode with nothing but boring macroeconomics talks and bouncing boobs. Unfortunately, not even boobs can save boring dialogue, so I immediately dropped the show.

Fanservice anime would suck without the fanservice too, with a few exceptions where it actually improves the show or just feels natural.

Rosario x Vampire from what I've heard.
I've only watched the anime, but it's evident the fan service is a key factor to it which is one reason it falls shorts. Manga readers have told me the manga not only has superior art, but a good plot that doesn't focus as much on fan service compared to its anime-counter part.

I don't see how sexual fan service can ruin shows that are made to get you off. This only happens to me with shows where I didn't expect to see skin. Hanasaku Iroha's 3rd episode comes to mind, where it started off as a really nice coming-of-age drama, then suddenly we had yuri.

Rosario Vampire and HOTD are not good examples, they were shit even without the tits,

Fanservice (ecchi, there are more kinds of Fanservice) ruins the anime if you don't like it, it's okay if you don't mind it, makes it better if you like it, it's just matter of taste.
