To be honest the best thing Fan service can do is decrease my score i would never give a better score just because of fan service..

Fanservice in general, not just ecchi that everyone categorizes it solely to be, can up my score and will rarely down it. In most cases, it's just a added bonus.

99 times out of 100, fanservice is a negative, not a positive. If I want tits, I'll just watch porn--shoehorning tits into a show without good reason is an irrefutable sign of either laziness or desperation.

I dont think i would increase a show's score if the fanservice was good, but i would decrease it if affected negatively.

Well, I'm gonna say Freezing simply bcos I saw the 2nd season completely censored, as in beam of light censoring on every ecchi scene, ofc I would've preferred it if it was uncensored but it manged to entertain me enough with the ecchi stuff being heavily restricted and it has my most hated character of all time

I don't think it really raise my score though given that I didn't really care that much when it was gone and I just continued on with the series

It depends on the anime. Such as Valkyrie Drive is a 3, Queen blade a 4 and High School DXD is a 5.

All shows that have a sexy character design get extra points for that, if that counts. I don't like it when the camera lingers on it, but Freezing would've lost a point if its characters weren't so darn sexy.

Which kind of fanservice? You are not being very specific.

EDIT: Shit, I just saw your edit. Now my comment is just simply stupid. Actually answering the question, it does not affect my score in any way.

Fan service for the sake of fan service always lowers the score. Tasteful fan service used sparingly prevents a score drop.

Every series I watch starts with a score of 10 - there are only decrements, not increments.

I don't really tak fanservice into consideration when I rate an anime, unless it's an ecchi cause then that would be the whole point of the show.
So plus points for ecchi anime and for the rest it doesn't count.

I found Nisemonogatari to be borderline garbage due to the sheer amount of fanservice and Araragi's attitude toward women getting my nerves-- definitely the worst Monogatari I've seen thus far-- so I don't really see where you're coming from there. The only time I recall (ecchi) fanservice being a plus was the first episode of Shokugeki no Souma, where the sheer absurdity of it made me laugh. Other than that, it's been neutral at best.

Action fanservice is also hard to place; I suppose a couple HxH battles were particularly satisfying and may have contributed to a score increase. I very much apppreciated the battles in Katanagatari as well, although that was just as much for the purpose they served as it was their "face value", so I'm not aure if that would count... One Punch Man definitely counts since I literally only gave it a decent score because of the sheer amount of sakuga eye candy in the fight scenes; the story was uninteresting overall and the comedy was mostly a miss.

Speaking of which, comedy is probably the form of fanservice that would be most likely to increase my ratings amongst fanservices. It had a very tangible impact on my rating of Angel Beats!, and Sunohara's comedic contributions to Clannad factored positively.

Why would fan service hinder the experience?

I never got that. I can only see fan service hindering the experience if it destroyed a romantic mood for example. I don't see how adding some ass shot would totally destroy someones anime experience.

If it destroys the mood, that's the writers fault. Blaming it on every fan service moment is like blaming forced romance on all romance.

The Conclusion: Fan Service shouldn't be known as a bad thing. Fan Service doesn't add to the story either. It's just a bonus which shouldn't affect the overall score.

It all depends on how big of a disruption or harmony it had. Most of the times, one accidental boob grab ruining the perfect lead in for the kiss will be quite disappointing. But will it really be that big of a deal overall? Will that one beach episode really raise your score for the show or even lower your score?

I'd say it should only affect your score if it consistently does what it does (Either good or bad)

For instance. Monogatari does it perfectly in my honest opinion. In my view, I WOULD consider giving it an extra score. (Albeit I'm probably gonna give it a 10 without this consideration when I add it to my list one day)

Conclusion #2: Fan Service shouldn't be known as a bad thing. Fan Service doesn't add to the story either. It's just a bonus which shouldn't affect the overall score unless it's done consistently (Good or Bad)

Maybe you should change for my threads instead of asking my threads to change for you.

No one here has baited you or said anything overly negative about ecchi, some people typically dislike it, but even those who do have been presented their opinions peacefully at the very least. Think about what you are saying. You want people who think like you to attack people who don't. This is exactly what you claim to hate.

Fanservice almost feels like a staple part of Monogatari. I think it would be possible for it to go without it, but would have to add in some other aspect or make the current aspects more interesting e.g the plot, or the apparitions.

@Mamster-P I don't know what to tell you then. I ask for positive experiences with fan service and peoples favorite examples (something you should have plenty of examples of), preferably something beyond "Fan service is always good", because that is boring and useless, just like saying some is "well written" is useless, and rather than post anything on topic, you go on a tirade about people who aren't even here.

I can agree with that too.

This is a real life experience though where I converted one of my friends into a DxD fan and whenever I brought up the topic he'd always be like "High School DxD? What's it about?"

For me mostly fan service would either 1. drag the score down if it's done too in-your-face or 2. have no bearing on it.
But then again when it's teasing a relationship between 2 characters (guys), I am probably going to enjoy it more than I otherwise would so it would probably increase the score.

Any show with a concept, themes and premise that wouldn't really work without sexual fanservice.... for example one of my favorites, Shimoneta(with a boring, Puritan world as its premise) and as I said Kill la Kill(with themes of sexuality and freedom in its core) .

Also, special mention will be Prison School whose *serious* comedy does solely rely on its over the top use of sexual fanservice.

And we are talking about fanservice in general, not just echi.

Fanservice is pretty much integral to klk and prison school.
Like if you take out all the nudity out of klk half of the aspects that made the series great is now gone.
The lack of clothing on Ryuko plays an integral role in her coming-of-age story, íe coming to terms with who she is and wearing it on her sleeves.


If it's an intergral part of the plot I wouldn't really call it fan service.

I call stuff fan service if people go out of their way to try and make stuff visually "more appealing" by for instance nudity. But the out of their way part is the most important part.

OT: I would generally not rate stuff with fan service higher. I watch anime for the story/plot/culture or the SoL/comedy elements. Adding fan service in that decreases the content I actually watch it for. If I want to see nudity/blood/gore, I'm pretty sure I don't have to watch anime to see that. There are plenty of other sources for those things outside of anime.

For instance in F/Z they had
The only purpose it had was setting up/making a connection to F/SN or making something for certain fans. I'm not rating F/Z higher than I would have if the episode wasn't there.

While the theme of nudity is important to her character development, I don't think many of the angles and other scenes were necessary. This isn't a bad thing though, those transformations are fabulous, and themes aside, the show would not have worked as well without them. It's built on all the over-exaggerated anime tropes, females wearing inexplicably skimpy outfits being one of them, so even if themes were thrown out the window I think It'd still fit. It even works once the show starts taking itself serious since I'd already gotten invested in the characters, tits and all. The themes bring it all home though, taking it from an amazing show to my favorite show.
