| Not just the fanservice, everything about the show except for the art is quite trite. 02 is a high-tier waifu tho, so there's that |

| There isn't even that much fanservice. |

Imaishi said: The fanservice plays a pretty important role, at least in the first few episodes, it doesn't really cheapen anything. And it's not even really heavy, is it really bothersome to anyone? The series, imo, gets bit more interesting, but it shifts little more towards relationships and stuff instead of piloting the mechas. also the whole comparison to evangelion is hugely exaggerated Yeah it's kinda bothersome because certain things seem added just for that sake. Like the way they ride and the need for a kiss for him to pilot? Some stuff is okay though like the knight in Konosuba and her s&m fetish, that was hilarious if it's even considered fan service. You've watched the whole thing? You enjoyed it? Pullman said: Cool story bro. I didn't know I clicked on your blog by accident. How do I get out of here and back to the MAL forums? I'm sorry but what? NierGenesis said: The lack of fighting and the poorly written drama is what is ruining it for me. Interesting. I thought there'd be more fighting once he was able to "get it up". Deknijff said: Fan service cheapens nothing Your problem probably lies along the lines you can't take it seriously But this is by the artist of To Love Ru so like. What did you expect dude Cheapen is a subjective term so yes it does cheapen it for me.I guess my problem is I don't know who or what that is. I'm just a casual anime watcher, I don't know anything. jal90 said: Eh, I wouldn't say that the fanservice played "a big role" in the early episodes. It doesn't in the latter ones either. It's an added element to spice things up, that only superficially adheres to the themes of the show (because it's all a huge metaphor for sex, the series has to portray unnatural shots of butts and breasts... yeah, no, it doesn't work like that). Just like... every fanservice shot in a show that is not about fanservice primarily. However it is not THAT big and it does not overshadow the rest of the elements so you can enjoy the series even if you dislike the occasional (and not that explicit) ecchi in it. I feel the opposite actually. I don't mind the occasional ass in the face shot like B: The Beginning, a very serious show had one of those for comedic purposes. It doesn't affect anything and it's out of context. This show however, seems to be written with fan service in mind, like the way they ride, the MC being able to fly by kissing, etc. Aslt said: I didn't know AD was your personal blog :/ Fanservice? I find its autistic sex references, piloting mechas with one's ass, the completely artificial attempts at being more profound and the cast of characters, which is like the Sun - it hurts to look at it, to be the problem here, but ok. DoubleMangekyo said: So drop it and move on with your life if you don't want fanservice. There's plenty of other anime out there. No one is forcing you to watch this one. How about going for a more standard mecha anime? Gundam is a thing. Can we stop it with all the blog post threads?! EcchiKnightDarek said: Aesthete18 said: Yes because clearly, the defining factor of a mecha anime is fanservice. That is the dumbest logi- no wait, it is about the same as the level of logic in every other anti-mecha comment I have heard on this website.It was going to be my intro to mecha anime (please don't suggest another :/) How exactly was I supposed to know that? What's a trigger show? Idk what that is It is an animation studio, they did not make this show on their own, but they co-operated with A-1 Picture (another studio) to make it.Anyways... nice blog. -Mahesvara said: A) Studio Trigger only does the animation from what I know, the story and so on has more to do with whoever A-1 hired for that. Either it is not a Trigger show, or to be more precise, not a just Studio Trigger show.Its a Trigger show...you should have expected it B)Studio Trigger =/= Fanservice, there are shows they did that had none, as show in the posts above. C)The OP saw only 20+ anime, do you really expect him to know that? What's all this about a blog? Does someone just say it and everyone think that's cool and jump on it? Like a trendy thing to say? I'm not much of a MAL user, I only come here looking for recommendations or need something explained but I find this place does have a bunch of rude what I can only assume to be kids. I'm just a casual anime watcher and even more casual forumer. Please keep that in mind when you project some of your real life inadequacies and be sarcastic on a forum. Mech has never appealed to me and I just tried this out since it was a new anime (I like new stuff because graphics). One main thing for me is character and I like all the characters even the annoying school mate, that's rare. Plus the story has potential even if it's "generic" for anime vets. So I came here asking if there's more of the same in terms of fan service and is it part of the plot rather than off the cuff comedic purposes. Lastly, @EcchiKnightDarek dumbest logic? What exactly did you understand from that quote? Don't mean to make you look like an idiot but I meant that I'm not interested in mecha anime, I just tried this one. I'm not implying that every mecha anime is fan service based smh.. |

FMmatron said: Aesthete18 said: I absolutely hate the art of Glass and topped has too many eps for my liking. Only 27 episodes,doe :P You've completed Death Note too and it has a whopping 10 episodes more. You're right! Idk how I did that to be honest. It was early days my anime stamina was high haha. I only really look for 12 ep anime these days. I absolutely hate dropping or stalling an anime so I try to find small ones to binge watch. That aside, Toppa is a little dated and I'm picky when it comes to graphics :/ I'm still superficial since I'm somewhat new to anime. Anything else you'd like to suggest? Preferably new and short XD |

EcchiKnightDarek said: Aesthete18 said: That you decided to not watch more mecha because of Darling in the Franxxx, what else is there to understand? You say you like everything but the fanservice, and then that you will not watch mecha again, what conclusion is that supposed to lead me to? That it is you being disappointed with... what exactly? What are your reasons for not watching mecha anime anymore?Lastly, @EcchiKnightDarek dumbest logic? What exactly did you understand from that quote? Don't mean to make you look like an idiot but I meant that I'm not interested in mecha anime, I just tried this one. I'm not implying that every mecha anime is fan service based smh.. I'd rather you didn't understand anything and refrain from replying here. Thank you very much. wntrmute said: I don't mind it being sexual; I mind it being vulgar and degrading. That's a better way of putting it than how I said it. |
|
| @Aesthete18 There is a difference between doggy style piloting and other sexual references and innuendos in story, and awkward and revealing camera placement that prioritizes the view of the spectator and therefore happens outside of that same narrative. Darling does the first for the sexual metaphor and the second for the fanservice, and one does not lose meaning necessarily without the other. That's what I mean with the show not needing the fanservice to convey its narrative message, and the fanservice itself serving a rather superficial role that could easily be removed and the show would not lose meaning or focus. |
EcchiKnightDarek said: Aesthete18 said: If you would want that then you shouldn't have posted this thread in the first place. Guess nothing to prove me wrong, what did I even expect?I'd rather you didn't understand anything and refrain from replying here. Thank you very much. I'm sorry, I didn't know you're the only reader on this forum. Had that been the case, yeah I shouldn't have posted it but since there's thousands(?) of people here then yes I should have posted it. Thanks for the feedback, move along now. |

| Compared to a series like KLK, it feels really tame to me. XD |

Havana said: I felt more disgusted trying to watch Kill la Kill (which is why it ain't on my list... I could not do it). Personally I think Darling is very tasteful about its fanservice, considering that Trigger is one of the studios working on it. I don't watch much mecha, so I can't comment on the uniqueness, but I still stand by my belief that nothing brings anything new to the table so I couldn't care less. I'll check off Kill la Kill from my list. Thanks for the info. |
|
| they use butt controls, what where you expecting |
 |
| Don't like fanservice, don't watch then ez? |
Insightful. Thanks. |
|
| Fan service? Please point me any other fan service traits in this anime series. Cockpit scene? Bathroom scene? What else? Bouncing boobs and bottoms? When? Where? In the series, except cockpit scenery, there isn't fan service moments for the sake of fan servicing. Every fan service-resembling scene comes with a serious story progress. Actually, we haven't seen usual amount fan servicing in this series. |

Preferably new and short XD think the visuals wouldn't kill you,again,you even survived the older Death NoteThat aside they're really fantastic,and I can't come up with many shows from the last decade which can up with that,if any at all. If you want a different mecha then I'm definitely the wrong person for that. But I could recommend some others :P |

| I'm definitely in the distinct minority that thinks that 02 is trash-tier waifu. There are a number of better female characters from this season imo. |

| Oh boy, here we go again...is the first thing I thought when I saw this. This show doesn't even have that much fanservice, and why is it that, apparently, as soon as something has fanservice, it is automatically bad and can't be taken seriously? Why is it that a single aspect of a show ruins the whole package for people every single time? What is it about the human body that disturbs people so much that they can't stand the sight of it, even if it is drawn and not real? I keep seeing this "fanservice ruined the show" argument over and over again for so many shows, and I simply can't comprehend it. |

SilverHawk7 said: My first post in this community. Yay me. <ahem> So yeah, this show really puts me off for a few reasons. The fanservice element in controlling the mechs is very blatant and just silly. It's like Shinmai or HxH, where the writing created an excuse for the fanservice. I can deal with fanservice if it makes sense for it to be there, and if the story carries it. FranXX is coming up short for me here though, since 6 episodes in, I don't have a clear idea of what's really going on story-wise. There's literally no world-building to speak of. Well said. I feel the same and I'm only 3 episodes in. It doesn't get any better does it? |

| yikes for real? i might think twice about watching it then cause fanservice is not really my thing |

| In Kill la Kill the faservice was an essential part of the show and after getting immersed in the story it didn't bother me that much I got used to it but darlings fanservice is just there and how they get so serious in that piloting position and how it is shown that they have the mentality of a 10 year old the fanservice is even more distasteful. Like seriously But it all comes down to preference in the end some might like it some might not. |
  |
| Fan service the only redeeming part of Darling in the Franxx for me. |
| The fanservice of Kill la Kill was ALMOST NEVER out of place. It's feels natural and funny. Darling in the Franxx tries so hard to put fanservice for the 'shock' factor. |

| I agree with you, the fanservice is terrible, and I don't usually even mind fanservice. But I think it's going to continue to be like this until the very end. I'm personally sticking with it regardless, because it's a pretty cool and interesting anime :) |
| I don't know what is the problem with a little fanservice in anime, i think some anime fans are bunch of prude virgins that live in the 1920's, where if you see an women's ankle you deserve to be shot dead. The show is being a bit slow on getting into the real shit but this is the build up episodes and the "fanservice" and all that teenage sexual charged stuff it is in order to build characters and story, because after all it is a bunch of pubescent teens paired with a different gender and fighting monsters in giant robots, if there is no sexual tension and no "fanservice" in this anime then something is wrong! But what the hell do i know, right? |
Deknijff said: Fan service cheapens nothing Your problem probably lies along the lines you can't take it seriously But this is by the artist of To Love Ru so like. What did you expect dude Except it's not by him. It's an anime original and the only thing he's currently doing is adapting it into a manga. |

| I dont think fanservice is what DitF suffers from. Its that they still dont have relevant plot 11 episodes in, but they rather tease us with "you know this show is actually deep, here have a piece of plot" followed by another 20 minutes of random stuff That beeing said, the way they ride the mechas is indeed oversexualized. But all of this fits together, so Its nothing I would complain about. Aesthete18 said: FMmatron said: For me it's rather the opposite,Darling is one of the shows,where fanservice and character interaction is making the plot. If you want action then you better drop it,cause watching for that aspect only doesn't seem worth it. It was going to be my intro to mecha anime (please don't suggest another :/) If you want to Mecha for the sake of mecha you want to look at Gundam, or Sunrise in general. Since in your other post you said you dont like the old artstyle (I personally love it, TTGL looks better than DitF) and also you think 2 cours (24 eps) are too long, go and watch the Gundam Thunderbolt. It is short and has the best animation of pretty much any anime ever (4k quality) Other than that Gundam 00, but it has the old artstyle and is longer than 12 eps. AdrianRubinsky said: wow now that you mention it this might actually be the case.Maybe they just wanted to draw some mechas to remember their old days at Gainax. Pixel_Vapour said: the guys who did TTGL are the ones who created Trigger later. Thats why many people consider TTGL already a Trigger anime. Bobby2Hands said: The fan service in KLK and TTGL is not because it's Trigger, it's because it's directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi. You can see that style in other shows he directed like Panty & Stocking, Dead Leaves and RE: Cutie Honey. Imaishi knows how to do fanservice well. The fanservice in Franxx is garbage because it's not directed by Imaishi. Gurren Lagann isn't even Trigger. It's Gainax. Still Gainax does have fanservice too. Not as much as Kill la Kill. |

| The so called fanservice in the show is actually a important narrative element of this show. It has heavly implied sexual themes and thats what makes the show interesting, if you watch it to se robots fighting monsters you are missing the point. |

OfLove111 said: FMmatron said: For me it's rather the opposite,Darling is one of the shows,where fanservice and character interaction is making the plot. Exactly. I won't deny that the idea of "fanservice" (read: sexual implications) is there, but it's far from cheap, imo. It's a metaphorical interaction between the characters without it being horribly, horribly in-your-face. It also brings a new angle to the coming-of-age tale that mecha tend to have. I’m glad people get it. This show is far from cheap fanservice, it’s used in a good way and it plays into the symbolism of the show, and I’d say it’s not excessive or forced, it’s interwoven into the plot pretty well. Obviously the fanservice is sexy and risqué, but that’s kind of the point and part of the appeal that makes this stand out from the pack. On top of that, in terms of fanservice in anime this isn’t even that bad for fucks sake! OP come back and talk to me after you watch Isuca. |
