This seems more like they're making fun of how the media sees anime. |
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out. I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts! |

Of course the west is no better when it comes to tits and ass in their television shows. I now actually wonder if Japan thinks that way of us?!?? Please, allow me to be someone else that will take this seriously. I understand your outrage, and the desire to have your favorite medium taken seriously. I felt that way about video games for years, but the reality is that there's always going to be shows that the media will use to prove that anime is disturbing. The media hasn't even acknowledged that any type of cartoon can actually be taken seriously, and that they're not all aimed at kids. Personally, I think that a better alternative is to just interact with a lot of people, and show them that you're not some creep by being yourself. Anyways, my thoughts on fanservice can be summed up like this. If the show is lazy and relies entirely on fanservice to get you to watch it, then it's pathetic. But if a show has more than enough to stand on its own, usually likable characters, and exciting combat(which coincidentally is why I watch what I watch.) then I think it just makes a good anime even better. However, I do wish I could see more of "We built up our relationship, and realize that we're both in love each other, let's fade to black ala Sword Art Online." and less "Pervert! Bad Touch!" Also, enough of these fucking virgins! We also could do more with Maria the Virgin Witch, which totally give the middle finger to the basement dwellers who want to possess anime characters. None of this was worth replying to? I was speaking from the heart. |

I find fanservice so grating if I'm watching an anime that centres around urgency and people's lives being at risk. For example, the anime set itself up nicely with a good premise, interesting characters and motives. Eventually, the main character walks through the door. He went through a lot of shit, through strife and even lost his loved one as she sacrificed herself. "Senpai, you must meet with the God. You must ask him why our world is in decline". Behind that door is the origin of God. A lot went through his mind. He lost his family. His loved one. All of his friends died as they all fought to survive in a desolate Earth, dying in decay. Then as you open the door... A young girl that has no place in the plot premise, wearing scantly-clothed dress, probably as a brand insert, and asking the main character who LOST HIS LOVED ONES "Hey, are you a virgin? If you want, I can let you touch my... Haha, you think I would let you do that, you baka hentai". And you throw up your arm and close your media player in rage. That's how I fucking felt when I watched Brynhildr in the Darkness. The fucking biggest piece of shit anime I have ever seen in 2014. |

Not only the West, it hurts Japan. Fanservice shows are made for otaku niche audiences and are just off putting to everyone else, leading the industry into it's current decline. It needs more shows like Psycho Pass, Zankyou no Terror, ect instead of Gurren Boobs and K-On ripoff #49601. By the way, the anime industry actually cares a lot about the West. The Japanese government has given the industry money to make it's exports appeal more western countries. That's exactly why we have Space Dandy, made for the West and debuted first in the West. |

I'd also mention this new, blue jacket Lupin series which is premiering in Europe first. I know Lupin III isn't the marquee franchise it once was, but that is still a big deal. Specifically, Lupin is premiering in Italy. I guess that's because, here, it's still one of the most famous anime. I was surprised by the relatively low members count on MAL. Anyway, I guess one of the most obvious west-pandering show was Hokuto no Ken. |

Bad? Of course not, that is, from market perspective. Anime primary target audience is teenagers, teenage boys to be precisely, like it or not that's the truth. That being said, heavy fan service found in most of the anime doesn't help the image of this medium in the west. |

Wrong. 2013 was the highest grossing year for anime, last highest year, was like a decade before it. Lmao. The west is extremely insignificant to the anime industry, it's a Japanese product made for Japanese consumers. Selling licences for dubs, is a small bonus. One example, doesn't mean shit, especially when it wasn't successful both in Japan and US. The international market for Manga is more prevalent but it still doesn't matter that much, let alone the anime industry, which is more niche. |

I think fanservice is becoming a problem outside of Japan, because it decreases a show's market appeal. Fanservice-y shows are less likely to be shown on TV, and if they are shown it will be on a late night time slot when very few people are awake to check it out. |

I bet there are shows that try to have some sort of western appeal, but never sacrificing their main target in Japan. But only providing one example (Space Dandy) hints at the opposite. For a niche audience, it sure is weird to see shows that appeal to otaku. Being a niche audience, you would expect it not to sell much. |

The whole reason that anime creators are putting more fanservice is so that they could get a larger demographic in the west. I personally don't care for fanservice but it's clearly working since many more people are watching anime compared to the past(I'm assuming). |

joephillingham said: Full disclosure Tentacles Rape High school DxD when it intervenes with the plot First of all, what would Full Disclosure be? Second of all, I hate tentacles more than just about anything in anime, but at the same time, I don't like censorship, and if the creators really want it in, I say to let them do it, I'll just skip ahead 2 minutes, and if it's something that happens consistantly, I'll stop watching. I also didn't enjoy the first season of High School DxD either, so I did something crazy. I stopped watching it, just like I do with anything that I don't like. I'm gonna give the new season a chance, and if it's still just as bad with the first episode, I'll drop it again, No one is literally MAKING anyone watch any anime that they don't want to, and I think that this is the lesson that really needs to be taught. And as for rape, yeah, in most cases it's horrible, but you can use it effectively. For example, there's my favorite show of the last Season and one of my favorite anime titles of all time, Cross Ange. Finally, can you give some examples of it intervening with the plot? |
Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out. I thrive on fantasy anime, and anime with all adult casts! |

Fan service is definitely something that I notice as influencing how popular a series is in the west. As in, if there's more of it, the series is likely to not be as popular. Many people who are NGE fans cite their least favorite part of the series as being the prevalence of fan service. Fan service in the west is seen as generally distracting from the plot, and taking up precious time that could be used advancing the plots or developing the characters. |

Fanservice itself isn't a bad thing. I just feel like shows nowadays use it as a cop-out for original ideas. I mean, why create a sci-fi series when a generic harem could sell more? Yoko was one thing, but I'm tired of seeing tons of highschool/battle harems with generic MCs. A dash of originality simply isn't cutting it anymore. |

I really don't see what is wrong with something like this: or this: when a lot of the West is into stuff like this: Actually, the west seems to be more into this: And to be honest, Gravity Falls is a lot better than majority of the anime that has been coming out recently. Gravity Falls is actually pretty good/funny. It's one of the few things that I watch in terms of western cartoons along with Kora/Avatar. I use to watch Spongebob religiously but they really fucked up with the new seasons. It's not funny anymore. |
