good fanservice in my opinion should not be about revealing skin (altough I don't mind since this is purely fictional content after all) but I always appreciate when writers making female cast very atractive based on other things such as personality/nature and even great drip is more than enough.

Here is an example of what good fanservice is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=425suicslao from gitnama ending 19 song.

So what are your thoughs on fanservice in anime?

I think everyone at this point knows my views on fanservice, in my opinion anime girls should be very attractive and wear revealing clothes as a default or be naked for a significant amount of the runtime. I appreciate personality and kindness in anime girls but it's not my main draw, what i want first is nudity.

Always peak comedy when someone who's never watched real fanservicey shows claims to know what the best type of fanservice actually is. It's always been about revealing clothes, nudity, pervy and accidental situations, not about the character's personality lmao.

@jacobPOL Yes, i know that. Gintama would have been much more interesting to me if it were official but alas.

It depends on the anime. While I'm indifferent to fanservice, I hate it when it's used without context just to grab more fans, for example in the first season of Classroom of the Elite, there are shots of underage asses every 3 minutes.

If, however, the anime is contextualized and the fan service is used in a smart way it's nice to have it: Panty & Stocking for example.

I am actually glad even though gintama had massive amounts of adult jokes and other similar alike female cast has never been fanserviced and instead fully focusing on them giving them unique personality, being very strong mentally/physically, unique sense of humor, and building up their characters, being very indenpendend and more.

Fanservice can be of any type. Sexual fanservice is a subset of fanservice. The term essentially means something that the fans love to see but not necessarily a big part of the plot. My personal favourite nonsexual fanservice is the cameo appearances of older characters (whose arcs are over) in long running anime/manga. I do also love sexual fanservice though, because why not.

My shrine isn’t built on cleavage, it’s built on strength, philosophy, humor, and drip. Skin is optional for me, what matters is dominant personality, powerful Presence and the kickass attitude and aura.
I love and honor waifu who survive, protect, and provoke. That’s fanservice for veterans. My waifu all have battle scars, missing eye they don't need protection from the male protagonist, they are the ones saving his ass.

Fanservice in anime is great. It's a indirect way of communicating to the audience that they see you and care about ur expectations when it comes to ur favorite characters. Hence, why they allow ppl to see characters in different attire or a way that can attract to us as the audience. Keijo!, while a sports anime, does it pretty well just as water-sports cause obviously its not "normal".

Fanservice is great. It can make a bad anime tolerable, and a good anime even better. And good fanservice is nothing like what OP is saying, it is absolutely in big part about revealing the most skin. Like that ED has very little good fanservice, lol.

A fanservice should please the fan, that being said not only about revealing skin or similarity. For example: let the main or side ship sail. Eventhough romance isn't the focus but 1-2 chapter every 50 would be enough to show the progress between two persons.

@mrBored0m
good/caring people
this but also being equally overall written being very strong physically/mentally, indepentent, smart, unique sense of humor, unique personality and other similar things. Overall featuring character writing how the characters are written and also how they are interacting with each other to the point they do not feel like characters but feels very human.

@jacobPOL it's merely good character writing/development then, not what people usually mean by fan-service. It's how it always should be done if an anime/manga creators wants their work to be considered good/serious by people. Fan-service to me refers to something that isn't necessary.

@mrBored0m I get what you mean but also what I meant with fanservice is that well fit suits should do enough job without unnecesarily revealing skin.

Good ecchi is based on pure visuals. Personality is not relevant in it. Ishizoku Reviewers is one example of peak ecchi.

Personality matters is pure cope imo. Beauty itself creates a halo on personality.
Ecchi is inherintly sexual, and to seperate beauty from sex is a lie.

Good Anime fanservice to me is shit like "Agent AIKa", "Najica Blitz Tactics", "Ikkitousen", etc...





Don't need to see actual coochi or tits, just watching action of fictional women fighting and not worry about their modesty, is fun enough fanservice entertainment for me. lol





The kind of fanservice that doesn't really exist in any other country. lol
