| Yes. |

| Depends which anime but a lot of the time yes. A lot of shows use fanservice in a clever way though like utena and KLK. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Yeah, but how else do you think they'll reach out to millions of shut-ins around the world who actually buy their merchandise? Only bringing up that point since the guys who spend that much aren't really the casual anime watchers. At that point, anime is a dedication. |

| Not only in anime. |

It's what they feel most comfortable with and it's what they like to represent themselves as. More than heavily armored and very modest females and more than cute or unrealistically muscular guys. So honestly, sexy female characters is a win-win, the data shows both genders actually enjoy them but for different reasons. |

| Ya, but I'm not complaining |
 |
| I see this is one of those topics where you poot giggle and laugh to. If you want to be honest without all the booger and nose picking and booger flicking then the answer is yes but woman are sexualised in movies and video games etc. it is what it plus I like to see those tig ol biddys tho! |
| Of course, but also depends on the genre. |
| a thinly veiled understatement posing as a question |
| The funniest thing about this thread is most ppl who says no has loli anime girl icons. |
| it's subjective. There is no quantifiable way of measuring the amount of sexualization in any given medium regardless of male or female. |

| Yes . . . Although Ecchi / Moe series are in large part what is keeping the industry afloat (especially with merchandise). Arguing that it should be cut back is tantamount to arguing that either A) The industry should for all intents and purposes die off, with very few shows being released a year (if any), primarily sticking to movies or B) That you will step up (with a large army of followers) to fill in the massive void that would come from removing ecchi / moe both from the shows themselves and the merchandise purchased. Sorry to say, but the largest market when it comes to anime is evidently pre-teen to young adult males. If this was untrue, then there would be no way to justify the large amounts of fan service, and companies would instead be pandering to whatever the demographic truly was. Industries (typically) aren't stupid, they will try and sell to as many people as they can. What you are seeing is the result of that. |

| How the fuck does this have 5 pages already!? |
| I most definitely think they are. |
| I think they've hit a nice balance on the level of sexuality in that more often than not, it's possible to find a waifu in an anime |

CandleJakk007 said: Considering hentai, what're your viewpoints? Is it normal or just stupid? It's just animated porn, no different from real-life porn. If you consider it stupid, then you're either asexual or in denial. I don't really see what's 'sexy' about this pic. She's just offering me her game console, implying she wants me to play a game with her. She's not naked, or even showing off her underwear in any way. In any case, why do people care about this so much? Anime females aren't real, and all the girls in these shows that (eagerly) show off their 'assets' do not reflect any woman in real life, not counting prostitutes. This whole feminist argument of women being (over)sexualized in fictional media needs to die already, together with the entire movement itself. |

But for a girl, there is no reason to add big boobs and ass. I don't think this person knows the difference between idealization & sexualization. I think I've played enough of Vindictus to know a thing or two about it that's why I used it: Yes, it's under armor, meaning it has nothing to do with the "realism" of having muscles which Mayu pointed out. You can't even see it unless you choose to see it, yet, they give males 30+ different types of underwear to choose from just like women. Most guys don't care that much what kind of underwear their dude is wearing in a video game. Additionally, being overly muscular looking isn't even that common to Japanese/Korean games at all, so are you saying that video game characters in Japanese games are inherently weaker than those in Western games? The point of video games is you can do things that don't necessarily mirror real life. Considering JP games are even more dense with fantasy settings, I imagine that a good number of them could destroy the more muscular characters in Western games. Muscles are sometimes done for realism, especially in a military shooter or something, although even then they're exaggerated often. Why? For men, power fantasy, for women, sex appeal. This is actually armor by the way: In fact, it's the same set that when worn by a less muscular male, looks like: And worn by a female looks like: |

So honestly, sexy female characters is a win-win, the data shows both genders actually enjoy them but for different reasons. I agree, I do sense a double standard in regards to women being portrayed as innocent things but actually in studies shown, they're probably ''worse'' than men in regards to what they like, and they get sexually aroused pretty much at a lot more things. Although there has been a lot of cases that men play female characters, and I get the impression they like the sexual thrill of being a sexy female on a game, or that typical saying ''I just prefer to see a female ass while I play'' also considering a lot of guys pretend to be females. From those pictures I'd say the male looks more ''sexualized'' but I could be biased because I'm actually gay and very much like that.. So, I ask of your opinion, is this male character targetted for females? males? Or both? Do men like to play sexy male characters just like women that like to play sexy female characters? |
galimx said: Still not compared to the girls.Nah, I think males are way more last few years. A lot of bishounens, but who cares. Please list all of the anime you think that sexualizes men. |
gyro785 said: i love tcha famWhat does "fam" mean? |
galimx said: uhhA big example is Young Black Jack. The old Black Jack was raw and mature and Tezuka's art was what it made it Black Jack. But nowadays, there is just a bishounen mc who likes to takes his clothes off a lot and show his abs. :) i haven't seen any of the female watchers.. actually like the naked scenes? i thought they were done for symbolism to show off his scars? tezuka's art is shit anyway. |
galimx said: I've read most of his manga........ lol I definitely like him, but not his art (as well as dialogue)If there wasnt Tezuka you wouldnt read so much manga and watch so much anime today. And his art isnt shit really. You should show some respect to the godfather. People really lack respect for the past... He really has a poor art style. I like his storytelling, at least. His art style would not fit a modern anime so I'm glad they changed the art style. The anime is fine, btw. I think it's one of the better shows this season. I'm looking at a 7/10 so far. |
galimx said: I don't think it'd be as popular if they stuck with the old art style, lol. Of course OPM and HQ are the better shows, but out of everything else. This season is fine. I'm glad there's like four shows that's targeted towards girls (Dance with Devils, Starmyu, Diabolik, Ameiro Cocoa)mayukachan said: I've read most of his manga........ lol I definitely like him, but not his art (as well as dialogue) He really has a poor art style.

I'm looking at a 7/10 so far. What anime? Young Black Jack? Its like 5 or 6, but thats just me. It isnt entire shit, but I would prefer the old raw style, it fits so better. Well, I think OPM and Haikyuu 2 are the best shows this season. And Asterisk and Heavy Object being the shit tier this season. The entire show is a bunch of fanservice and harem and cliche moments when the MC falls and gropes girls tits, like we have seen 1000000 times. Eh. |
galimx said: Are this shows any good or just standard? Dance with Devils - Seen 2 eps, it's kinda slow but has lots of potential. It's a really nice show for Halloween too. High School Start Musical - Seen 2 eps, second episode was very enjoyable and also has lots of potential. They're slowly introducing all the characters so it's too early to say. Diabolik Lovers - is purely fanservice for girls, so nah Ameiro Cocoa - is literally nothing happening, but I like the seiyuu segments at the end. It's not worth it unless you're into voice actors. |
