I can't understand why there are people who hate fan service so much. I mean, its called fan service for a reason, it services the fans. How could you not like being serviced? Unless you are like a masochist or something. Assuming, that the fan service isn't used in a very serious situation, and isn't degrading, why would some one dislike it. I can understand if you're a girl or homosexual, but other than those people, i cant wrap my head around dislikeing it. I personaly like being serviced.

Are you asking why do people not like fanservice or why do people not like ecchi? Cause it sounds like the latter.

It's that bias that exists that "fanservice=bad"in people...

When in reality, there really is nothing wrong with it.

(Ah... ah... Yet, another fanservice/echhi post.

InB4 people bitching about fanservice, in general )

Some people don't like fan service because it takes to much from the story. Some anime's do it fine like Fairy Tail but some anime's ruin the story by putting to much.
Hope this helped.

People can be asexual or find it uncomfortable, or people who don't have interest in it with their sexual orientations

in all of those cases, people just don't watch it

in other cases, fanservice(fairy tail being my #1 example sorry lol) can be VASTLY misplaced and misused making a potentially good show, well, bad. :/

Personally I think a show can service its fans by telling a well crafted story. It doesn't need to take a memorable, likable character and put her in a skimpy outfit with her ta-tas hanging out, in order to keep me watching. Sexualized fanservice it's just not for me, so when it pops up I'm just like "ehh..."

You make it sound like I should be grateful for something I don't like just because the creators think it 'services' me. I'm pretty sure my own preferences take precedence over the intent of the production committee member's idea of marketing their product to japanese otaku.

It's distracting. Unless it's an ecchi anime I prefer not seeing one. I'd rather watch hentai. But if you have been watching anime for years, you build up so much immunity from it that you don't even notice it's there.

Maybe the people that hate fan-service have lost the hormones that desire fan service and its more of a psychological threat to their attention span for the anime since hating fan-service in anime will probably make them less likely to enjoy and want to watch it and more likely to spread the dissatisfaction they have with fan service.
I particularly enjoy fan service as long as they don't use it in serious situations as you stated above.

theres actually no such thing as an "ecchi anime"... the amount just tends to vary, some have more and some have less, we're the ones who give the label, not the japanese... which is why some anime with alot of boobs don't have the label

The only kind of fanservice I consider good is when I see a manga that I like being adapted into an anime. Nothing else is really a service to me as a fan. So when I see some scantly dressed bimbo in my anime showing off her pantsu and her oppai, I don't consider it a service to me. I consider it a technique to arouse a loser over in Japan. Unfortunately, I am not some Japanese otaku with a fetish for animated tits and ass, but a Canadian nerd who enjoys a variety of forms of storytelling, including anime and manga. I don't need an asshole over in Japan telling me that his cheap form of entertainment is a service to me.

Do I particularly hate it? No. Do I dislike it? Depends on the series and how its done in the context of that show.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Because seeing the same scene, you know, the one where some generic boring guy defies gravity, common sense, basic human functionality, and decency, and falls on top of a generic boring harem girl, grabs her playdough boobs that are the size of basketballs and the consistency of water balloons with an awkward squeeking sound effect that no real breasts, or any body part, would ever make under any circumstances unless they were literally made out of dog toys, while she makes a high pitched startled yelp that's supposed to be erotic or some shit, but just sounds like a bad impression of a toddler stubbing her toe, or a cat who just had its tail stepped on, and then he squeezes them further while contemplating the incredulous ponderous mystery of what he has in his hands, and then she makes a meany meany face and a weird groaning constipated noise and closes her eyes and then says something stupid and boring and generic and then hits him, that scene, in every anime, gets a little dull and irritating.

I just don't like how a lot of creators seem to think that the only way a show will gain views/sell is if there is fanservice in it. I keep seeing decent shows sloppily throw in a fanservice episode or sloppy fanservice in general. To me, feeling that your work/story/idea needs to be of service to the fans in order to be successful/survive is awful instead of just focusing on telling a compelling story. This isn't actually the case though, and shows can thrive without fanservice; creators are just selling themselves short or aren't confident enough in their work to not have fanservice I suppose-- or they know that fanservice sells.

Also, I go big or go home. Why must I sit through little teasing bits of things when I can just watch hentai? :U

Hey OP, did you ever consider that not everyone is completely governed by their hormones and actually find them irritating when they're trying to enjoy a completely unrelated activity? Or did you ever consider that some people don't want to fill their mind with sexual crap all the time to maintain a generally more healthful mental state? No? I guess not.

@Swiggy

people act as if the creators don't enjoy drawing sexy women..... theres a reason sites like gelbooru are 80% female characters, yet most artists are male

its not JUST cause it sells, its also cause uh...... the creators like to draw it just as much as the fans like to see it....

i can vouch as im an artist who draws that stuff and know other guys who do....

People hate fanservice because they equate it with ecchi and the raft of low-quality harem shows that constantly use it. It's quite the slippery slope fallacy, a litle fanservice is nothing to be ashamed of and doesn't mean an anime is going to turn into a lowest common denominator pandering piece of trash. It's excessive fanservice that most fans hate, really.

Personally, I don't mind fan service as long as it is used appropriately. Having our main male MC walk it on a naked female chick only to get slapped or beaten gets old very fast. I would much rather prefer the fan service be part of the plot in some way e.g. torture scenes, power ups, etc.

The thing is that "fanservice" is a service to the fans, but it can be anything.
Extra bloody gory scenes for no reason, ugly pink haired loli waifu bait, or a random symbolism in a psychological anime that may not fit the premise.

As far as fanservice having to do with the Character's appearence, it is only bad when that is all they have to rely on.
If the anime is good, and there's a nude scene or sex scene, it's not a huge deal. there is nothing wrong with muscles and boobs I welcome both .

You're projecting again. I don't think about sexual things most of the time. Legitimately.

That's not me boasting or some social image nonsense. I have nothing to gain by saying that here. It's just... normal.

I love fanservice. Shove as much in as you can, I say. However, I can see plenty of reasons not to like it.

Suppose you're looking for a show to watch with your teenage kids.

Or suppose you're looking for a show you want to watch on a long flight or bus ride or train ride or other public area, but you don't want all that nudity on the screen where you never know who's watching over your shoulder.

You're never going to watch To Love-Ru or Highschool DxD in these cases, but there are a lot of shows out there that would be perfectly fine to watch as a family or in public if not for the totally unnecessary sexual content or nudity.

The fanservice ruins these shows for certain viewers, or for certain viewing situations. Despite the unfair stereotype, not every viewer watches anime alone in their parents' basement.
