| If its the kind of fan service I like and is done well and tastefully, maybe 1 point extra. But it probably wouldn't be enough. I can't think of any shows where fanservice upped the score. Quite the reverse actually... |
Wait..... how can a comedy centered around its sexual fan service possible without it? Uhhh...... Doesn't that just makes it bland and generic as fuck? merryfistmas said: I need to watch Shimoneta, pantsu-on-head the anime sounds glorious. Yes, of course. It's actually a symbol of freedom from Puritanism in the show. |

| As long as it comes from an ecchi-focused anime it's fine. But it's got to be well done, Highschool dxd may have big bouncy boobs but it's a piece of steaming shit In other words, as long as the show lends itself to have fanservice and it's well done i may consider it a favourite |

If something is a key element of a show then it is no more fan serive. Fan service is unneccessary for the show itself but is there just to serve the fans. Hmmm.... It being a key element doesn't really remove the fact that it's still fanservice.... and there's nothing wrong with that. |
| If the lewd acts on-screen serve a significant purpose a part from getting my dick hard, then It may not affect the score at all though I rarely encounter such things. Increasing the score...? I don't know. I'll know when I find such a show. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| As long as it's there to actually provide some merit to the story or if it's doing a good job of advancing the plot, I'm fine with it. |
 |
| fanservice prevent the anime for not becomes boring. and yeah, it affect my score. but not much |

Yeah, it's at about 210~ chapters currently I believe? I'm only @ about 130. I kinda stopped reading manga, slowly getting back into it. Also for fillers I generally mean more over the fact that animes tend to add in filler to fill in the time necessary. So they might cover the respective chapters but they still have time to fill for the episode. Don't remember too well ( I remember the episode, but the outfits not so much) since that wasn't really my cup of tea, I just love the whole concept as mentioned overall. The whole 'Pandora' epidemic. I just have a thing for unique story pretty much. Gets old seeing the same ol' high school dramas and such after awhile for me. The manga is pretty good, I got into it because I was curious how the story continued. The Anime only adapts the manga upto like chapter 96 or so. 90 something. So it's alot that's still up in the air. Also I was trying my hand at fanfiction so I wanted to read the story and get ideas also, so that also was part of my drive at the time. |

| Never. It's just a, sometimes, nice extra to me. |
on 
| Hmm.......never for me. It moreso depends on the characters. I mean love characters like Satuski, Ryuko, Panty, Stocking, Kallen, and C2. Not because they are just sexy but they are also strong female characters that add to their story. |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |
| By quite a lot. I like to be serviced. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| If I see hot boys almost naked, then the score is auto 10/10 |
 You just lost the game |
| if thats the point of the show then ya ill rase the score on fan service i.e to love ru darkness otherwise meh who cares if its in the show its in the show im not going to cry about it. |

| I'd say probably 2 points. It depends if it helps me like the female characters more or is it just their for comedy purposes. |

| Fanservice never really increases or decreases my score. In such anime I care more about how likeable the characters are and how much fun it is to watch. I will never suffer through unlikable characters just to see some animated ass, not like there's a shortage of that on the internet anyway. |
| Strike Witches would be a great example for this. The fan service made it like 2x better. (was still pretty boring tho) |

The anime had a decent plot but its storytelling was too over-the-place and didn't explore its ideas. |

"theres a sexy pair of tits/an ass in my face, fuck this anime, its been ruined" WHAT THE FUCK? i don't get it and i never will... seems so fucking fake... I guess you can watch some serious show on the first tv, and on the second tv there is something disturbing. It's not like we are bad/fake or something. YOU are very good. Mamster-P said: @merryfistmas im sorry but... i refuse to believe the flood of "if its done a certain way" comments are all entirely genuine, especially on a subject that many people are afraid to talk about the fact that almost no one is saying it increases there score, just seems like some ppl are lying, especially when ppl watch these shows knowing its coming but yea seriously, the people who are trying to avoid coming off as complete perverts need to stop hiding that shit..... if you are talking about echi show then yes. In the to love ru Darkness you will expect echi. If you are talking about "real" fanservice then no. Some people likes to watch both (echi & serious shows). When I watching some serious scene and the camera is showing ass it's disturbing. When I'm watching something less serious I don't mind it (at least). I think there were episode when girls doesn't want to wear suits because suits were "little bad". It was kind of tame (no ass in your face thing) so it was "cute". Oh, In the 3rd Nanoha series you have a lot fanservice transformations of girls but one boy hadn't got too much fanservice. It was like we can see 10 maybe 20 seconds of girls bodies but in his case, we mostly see his weapon (not pun intended) and maybe 1 or 2 seconds of him. Haha, that kind of fanservice (or rather lack of) was funny. |
| @Wannabiteme not everything is meant to be as serious as people think, i think thats the main issue just cause people die, theres a fight, theres gore or w/e doesn't mean the scene/show is supposed to be serious, thats just a bias we have based on our culture plus if there were never ecchi in "serious" moments, that would look just as forced as ppl who think adding it there already is |
   |
| If the fanservice is ecchi it definitely decreases the score. I hated Return of the Kings for this. It was so forced. Totally reduced Seri's strong female character to a a boobage or pantsu oppurtunity. She's just there because we need to keep the guys interested. Highschool of the Dead needs to disappear. |

| Depends on hows its used, especially in ecchi and harem anime...Well for me atleast |

When you make good serious scene and you add echi/comedy you may destroy it. You have a comedy and you add some serious moment. Some people may overlook that scene. 2) Sure there are dark comedies (or however you call it). But I'm talking about something that most people would watch (where death scene supposed to be sad). |
| @Wannabiteme What are you on about? I'm talking about Prison School here whose entire concept as a *serious* comedy will only work with fanservice(or trying to cater to several fetishists if you want to be direct) . |
| One piece of good fanservice is .1 positive score and bad fanservice is .1 negative score, multipled by 3, divided by 2, plus the quality of the characters and that factors into the fanservice score. Varies depending on whether or not the character has eyebrows or not. |

|
| If the show is serious or a drama where ecchi moments would be absolutely inappropriate (how do you spell this? T_T) I would rate it lower for flashing boobs at me or giving me a panty shot. By lower, I mean -1 score. That depends on how much the anime actually sends these unneeded ecchi moments my way. If it's a really small amount it won't hurt my score. I rated Highschool DxD lower than most people do because of a certain scene SPOILER ALERT : When Asia was dying (not really as she gets resurrected) in the beginning of the series, it was supposed to be a sad moment but her boobs were exposed the whole time. Too much good is sometimes bad. But when it comes to Ecchi anime, I rate them higher the better the ecchi scenes are, that's the point, being an ecchi, if it does it's job by giving me good ecchi scenes then it gets rated higher. Of course I always give them average score because of their cast. There is no character that feels unique. It's always a character trope in the form of a girl. |

You have your shot, I have my mood. Everyone are happy. But it doesn't matter what I think. What sells is right. |

Wannabiteme said: Mamster-P said: yall make it sound like everyone just unanimously agrees that ecchi never works in some situations There are exceptions but that's a norma. thats like saying people who like SAO are the exception because you're always seeing people shit talk it. just because the people who want to complain are the most vocal doesn't mean theres more of them |
|
| To a certain degree of fan service I raise a few points , but when it becomes something forced and repetitive ( this is normal today) in this case my points will almost zero. |
