Do you like it when shows are "fan service nests"?

Not 1 panty shot for the whole series type of FS. High school DxD style, like it or not?

No specific anime required

Fanservice is good for the sales and the teenagers, but it's bad for the story, which happens to be the reason why I watch anime. So fanservice = bad. Too much fanservice = too much bad.

I like heavy fanservice focused anime when it comes to fanservice since one panty shot is not enough to turn me on and it just feels outta place usually. Basically shows I can watch while casually stroking my dick. So good I say.

Also another one? really?

I find it a turn off but if others like it, whatever. lol

I do think it can hurt a show that wants you to take it seriously. I would watch High School of the Dead for a thrilling zombie story but all the PANTSU shots make it very distracting and annoying.

"it doesn't do anything it's just for sales" ... okay I guess sales aren't important

People like it, why shouldn't they have fanservice anime?

Fan service for comedic purposes (even though it's very rarely funny) or if it is directly tied to the plot, I don't mind.

Other than that it can be a bit distracting, and annoying if it happens too often for no apparent reason.

were on the same opinion mate, too much and distracting is annoying af, altho a little comedic-non time consuming-non heavily story affecting pantsu wont hurt anyone.

O wbout HOTD it can be distracting and annoying but some scenes like
is hilarious, to some extent. HOTD in my opinion shaped FS in a good way, with few mistakes and series ruining scenes

If the fan service is lite and done well, I don't mind it. However I feel studios a lot of the time make anime that uses as much fan service as possible to sell instead of having good characters or a decent story. Generally I don't like anime that have fan service though it can add a nice touch every now and then. Also, a keyword in this post is "Too much Fan service" of course too much of anything is bad. Some people like their fan service shows, but I wish we could get less of those and more great anime.

I am still very proud of that thread. People do not analyse pantsu enough and just don't understand the importance of panty shots. The anime community just can't appreciate good symbolism. :(

depends on the show, if it is a show geared towards fanservice, than nothing is too much, if it tries to tell a serious story than there can definitely be too much fanservice.

Depends on genre. If I watch ecchi I expect from it tons of fanservice (and of course I like it), but when I watch something serious I accept just a bit of it.

Doesn't "too much" generally entail "bad?"

Wouldn't it be more sensible to ask "Is there such a thing as too much fan-service?"
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

My thoughts exactly. Too much of anything can be bad. Too much action, too much romance, too much horror, comedy, etc...

we westerners created the "ecchi" genre, so thats on us.... although japan does acknowledge that some anime have tons of tits and ass, theres not really an "ecchi genre"

Good in moderation, bad in excess unless the story completely centers around the ecchi, where in that case there needs to be as much ecchi as possible.

Depends on the anime. If it's ecchi then too much fanservice would not matter but if it's a serious anime then a lot of fanservice will kill it. Monster would be unwatchable if it had a lot of sexual fanservice inserted into it.

when "fanservice" is actually properly integrated in the plot, not disruptive but actually synergistic i like it, the moment you add "too much" makes it a bad thing already though
things to keep in mind when judging "fanservice":
setting
form
goal
(and quantity)

Depends on the type of show. If it's supposed to be raunchy, for the sake of comedy or otherwise, that's fine. So long as the fanservice makes sense in the narrative, and doesn't happen in the first episode. (Unless that's the joke). My problem is like, accidental pervert scenes or falling on a girl and accidentally grabbing her boob, or something else that feels like it doesn't belong in the narrative.

Fanservice just ruins the anime.
I can't get a death scene seriously with panty shot into my face. Long-story-short.

I mean if it belongs in a show (or if there's just a little bit of fanservice)then it's ok.But if it's something like Dagashi Kashi were it's freaking EVERYWHERE then it start to become a problem.

This is kind of a dumb question to ask anyway. The presence of "too" much fanservice implies that it is a bad thing anyway, because too much means that it goes beyond your tolerance for something.

While it can ruin anime's atmosphere most of times to me, there are times where I don't mind it.
And if there's a girl whose fanservice I actually liked, then that's Revy. Because she is hot. *coughcough*

And as always, everyone flocks immediately to 'sexual tittilation' the moment 'fanservice' is mentioned, even though fanservice can take on a plethora of forms. Not to mention that if a show is entirely geared around tittilating the viewer, such as in To Love Ru, it can hardly be classed as fanservice at that point - unless you want to say that the entertainment industry itself is fanservice, which would make the term entirely pointless.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!
