Almost 80% of the new released anime include fanservice,i'm not talking about hentai or harem anime, i'm talking about normal anime with decent plot and characters,for example code geass which has everything it needs to be an epic anime is fully of fanservice, do I really need to fell horny while enjoying some serious moments of an anime?Does fanservice bothers you? Or it doesn't affects your enjoyment?

Fanservice by definition is extra stuff not related to the plot that's added to please the fans.

Terms that you should Google:
Fanservice, epic, harem, enjoyment.

Also, as long as this is a free market, you need to entertain your fans to see your stuff.

Yea what he said.

It doesn't bother me at all. There are VERY few occasions where I kinda go, damn her tits are huge. Other than that I don't even have a reason to complain.

Edit: I lied there are many cases I say, DAMN HER TITS ARE HUGE!

I'd prefer if fan service wasn't there as i don't feel that it's not necessary, i mean i know why it's there but i just don't see the point in it-so i guess you could it bothers me a bit but it won't stop we watching an anime :) Is it really about 80% of newly released anime that contains fan service?

Fairly tail or one piece would be better example.

Fanservice usually doesn't bother me but sometimes it does to a small extent. I think it usually helps the anime more than it harms it.

I do enjoy fanservices like GTO, the sexual fanservice made the comedy really good.

In general, it doesn't harm the anime. What it does do is harm the anime's reputation and stop some people from watching it, which makes me sad. IMO.

*To actually answer the question, it's not necessary unless it's a plot point for the character to run around semi/full naked.

I also like the fanservices that gives services to fans other series or just to other things (parody).

I enjoy being able to identify them such as Gintama especially with that games arc, Outbreak Company with its numerous references. Honya with a recent one on AoT though I would think I need better examples. Seeing parodies that can be understood are pretty nice.

I would also say that tits/ass have a higher chance of hindering my enjoyment than manservice for 3 reasons:

1. Manservice is more contained to a few core genres (though it is getting more popular lately if you look at anime in general it's true) so chances that I get surprised by it in a show where the focus should lie elsewhere are lower.
2. It's rarely as in-your-face as lots of the ecchi stuff, often it is just bishounen character designs which don't prevent the characters from doing or saying interesting stuff unlike spending screen-time on bath or shower scenes, panty shots and whatnot.
3.I'm kinda used to it which makes it easier to ignore since, and let's be honest here, it's not like the 'manly' shows like DBZ aren't also full of well-built guys ripping shirts and showing off their sweaty, muscular upper bodies while passionately trying to grapple with each other. The context and the personality of the characters are often the main difference between manservice and badassery and often even go hand in hand.

That being said I wouldn't miss either in most of my shows, but if used for parody or good comedy they can be fun.
I probably regret this post by now.
