Is fanservice literally needed to sell in Japan to sell more?

Japan is already weird as it is, but lately I've noticed that fanservice filled anime have increased more than I expected. And I'm not talking only about only fanservice or ecchi anime, what pisses me off mostly is that every modern anime I see now either has a lot of boob bounces or at least a character that ruins my whole experience by forcing in ecchi scenes. You want to make female characters with big breasts? Fine, but at least don't ruin the bloody scene with forced ecchi crap! I might have been unlucky as well, but how much those shows would sell without those things? Also is having flat chest an original sin in Japan? Do they rate people based balls of fat?

If you think that flat chests aren't appreciated in Japan, you clearly haven't seen much anime.

With the loads of ecchi and moe stuff I'm not surprised your list is bigger.

TBH I never expected it to be EVEN in K-Project. I'm extremely sensible to useless fanservice, and a character of that anime was basically made on purpose to be a slutty cat girl. I guess I'll stick to older anime and pretend that anime hasn't become a mistake.

Well then stop watch niche otaku anime and stick with mainstream manga from mainstream magazine.
if you don't like one piece or naruto for big breasts you had better looking for other hobbies altogether

I know that anime is just the tip of the iceberg, if not the tip of something else.

If you're producing a shitty show the only way you're going to get people to watch it is by throwing massive tits, panty shots and an assortment of fetishes into it.

I don't see why they're shitty shows. I honestly like them as long as they have a decent plot and something original in it. Also why do they produce a lot of fanservice stuff about females but never about males?

For anime, no, a lot of SoL shows sell well without fanservice.

For games, yes

Japan has one of the lowest birthrates in the world

By showing bouncing boobies they're trying to make people feel lust so they want to have sex again

Just deal with it OP

It does not make sense to me you bother to complain niche otaku anime for its trait.
It is like complaining indie metal music for its trait.it is not cater to masses in the first place not just late night anime but all the niche hobbies are not cater to majority and if you dont like a certain niche hobby you should look for other place
It does make sense if you complain mainstream magazines having much moe or otaku pandering but when you complain otaku anime for otaku trait it sounds hypocritical

Are shows like Overlord and K-Project aimed at otaku? I guess not.

Really? I thought K-Project was supposed to be the fujoshi type of anime. I guess this would help me to make a new impossible suggestion thread about what I would like to watch.

Define fanservice

Because either way your implications of what it is will likely be incorrect
