I will never complain about jiggly big breasts in ecchi anime. It's a genre for it. It belongs there. I will complain about it in anime withoud that tag. Anime should be about interesting characters, stories and plots. And characters should all be given equal treatment. Female characters need to be interesting to female watchers as well and to male characters who want to see a story, and not jiggling boobs. Because yes, there are plenty of guys who do in fact find fanservice annoying as it underestimates their abilty to be able to enjoy and priciate a story or it's characters withoud sex being thrown into it. Not every guy thinks with his manhood. And frankly it's insulting to men as it is to women. Lets hope it's a fase, and the new batch of anime will stop with the weird boob and panty shots in anime where it doesn't belong. Arrgh. I hate this kind of logic. 1) You suffer from plot-centrism. No, an anime doesn't have to be about characters, stories and plots. It can be about fights, pantyshots, jokes and/or atmosphere. For most anime, plot is just something that brings the content together, but it's the content that we care about. 2) As a female, you should have no problems seeing stories and stuff when there are jiggling boobs on screen. I understand that teenage boys can't do that because they're too distracted, but I expect everybody else to have no problems. Just because the screen shows Ryo-tas moving about and her impressive breasts bouncing about, doesn't mean the conversation isn't important and interesting. If you aren't into ongoing anime, substitute SAOII and Sinon's nicely-framed ass. 3) No, fanservice does not work on its own. It only works because we like the rest of the work. Because we're fans. Because we care about the female character enough that we're interested in seeing her panties. We would have appreciated the story even without the fanservice. Fanservice is something that make us like an anime even more. 4) There is no point in making all mainstream entertainment sterile. Why? Why would you want that? Do you just want to oppress men? Do you want sexuality to stop existing? It would not happen. In fact, I expect sterile entertainment to lead to more sexual tension IRL, and more problems IRL. P.S. And I can agree that female watchers aren't getting as much fanservice as male watchers do. It's just that I think the answer is "more female-oriented fanservice!", not "purge fanservice out of anime!". Because I want everybody to be happy, not for everybody to be equal and frustrated.

Once the amount of diversity in female characters becomes the same as with male characters, and we get the same close up crotch and ass shots guys get for their female characters, then we'll talk. Now, I'm probably not qualified to talk about it, but I don't think female characters in harems are any less diverse than male characters in reverse harems. I've heard that shoujo anime has plenty of character stereotypes too (and that male cast of Mahouka is full of them). Or do you mean diversity in main character role? There isn't much diversity for men there too, you know. |
| So fucking stupid... fanservice is why anime is so popular |
   |
| Quick and simple answer...... yes. |
| No, but peoples' overreaction to fanservice did. |
| Personally, I do not watch ecchi. Not because I'm disgusted or critical, but rather,all the ecchi anime I've seen so far lack depth of character and plot. If there are good ones that I might enjoy, I am unaware of them. Well, in terms of fanservice as a threat to the anime industry, I don't think so. There are all kinds of people who watch anime and some of them do enjoy fanservice. So, why should they be deprived of their means of entertainment while the others enjoy their own favorite aspects of anime? It's the same for any fictional work. There're books, ''normal' movies or series that have fanservice, but they are not a threat to the overall industry. Everyone chooses what they like and watches it. I understand your concern, but I don't think it's our business to interfere with others' taste. P.S. One show I remember that made me think like 'You have a really good plot, enough with the fanservice already!' was Cross Ange. I really enjoyed the plot and characters a lot, but the fanservice was overdone and got in the way. But I still kept watching for the sake of the plot :) |
