| then i would dissapear as well jokes aside it would be painfull |
 |
| @EcchiLordMamster I summon you for this roo. For me my favorite anime lost it's one of the best part in the show so I would be sad probably. |
| The majority part...That's the main problem in your hypothetical setting... I'm opposed to the sacrifice of the minority for the sake of the majority... At least in this setting...Everyone must have a share... |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| I wouldn't stop watching anime but I’d be pretty annoyed if a whole genre I loved would disappear The only things I would have left then would be romance and gore |
 |
| I wouldn't mind. It would force a lot of studios to step up their game. |
 |
| Then people on MAL will probably argue about serious issues. That's a scary thought. |
| ffs |
| I'd be fine with no fan service but I would still want nudity in certain anime. Does that make sense? I like to think it does. |
 |
| I'd be perfectly okay with that. ..................unless it's MANSERVICE. I would not be okay with shirtless hot guys disappearing. lol |
  |
| Anime wouldn't be anime. It'd be a cartoon. (??) Let's face it though, fanservice is the greatest and worst thing to ever happen in the anime history. By getting rid of that? I can't get my head round it. Fanservice has become a crucial part of anime, in both good and bad ways. If its existence was completely eradicated, that is like eating a curry with no spice. //edit// If the term "fanservice" does not include yuri/bl then I probably can live with that. |
 |
| Then anime would be a serious business. |
 |
| I mean it would just reinforce the other stigma that anime is for kids because it can't handle things like nudity. I also wouldn't be surprised if late night shows struggled to sell merch with the lack of attractive female characters, tons of money would have never been put into fanservice heavy shows (I mean the fans just to elaborate), it would take a lot of the spice out of some shows, due to the sudden lack of some more popular late night shows there would also be a significant decrease in variety. I mean if we're talking about removing all fanservice instead of just nudity it would be much worse, reference humor would be gone, flashy fight scenes would vanish, anime would just be a dull medium. Slight error though you should have probably gone for the 20 most popular anime and not the top 20 rated. Because with the top 20 most popular arguably half of them have some significant fan service. In addition if you were to exlude sequels, standalone movies, or ovas (Ie. count one franchise as a whole) the number of shows with fan service in the top 20 might be closer to 5 which is still 25%. Edit: I mean just to add to this you would also have to get rid of shows like say Neon Genesis Evangelion which had a ton of fan service especially in the movie. Which arguably saved Gainax from debt and went on to create other studios in addition to having major popularity in the west. That's just one example though, shows that tried to be different for their time like Lupin the Third would have to pull quite a bit of material, Tenchi Muyou would be gone basically eliminating entire genres, comedy which has been said to heavily play off of similar elements like the highly rated Great Teacher Onizuka would probably vanish. Even some of the most famous early manga authors often used fan service in their work. |

| @Lord_Sithis yes, I am aware of fanservice anime's financial contributions towards the industry itself is crucial, especially with the recent years. However, if you look at other entertainment mediums, they are able to become successful even though there was no involvement with partial nudity and fanservice-y aspects. There are many ways anime would end up if fanservice did not exist. Kudos to OP for making this thread, it developed many ideas from many people. |

| if fan service disappeared, then anime could actually be good |
| no |

There's fanservice in books as well, in TV shows, in the news, everywhere. Because sex sells.@Lord_Sithis yes, I am aware of fanservice anime's financial contributions towards the industry itself is crucial, especially with the recent years.

There are many ways anime would end up if fanservice did not exist. Kudos to OP for making this thread, it developed many ideas from many people. Truthfully, I agree with your statements. Anime really benefitted from the usage of sexual appeal to target its audience. I'm just saying that I can't imagine living in a world without fanservice in anime (and also in another entertainment medium). For me to say things like "anime would be dead without panty shots and boob jiggles"... I bet there's already 5 people in this thread that have said this exact thing. |

| I would no longer be sad. My life would be full of hope. |
 |
| I'd be fine without it, it's just like a "bonus" that I don't really care for. Fanservice can make or break a anime at times, if it's too much then it becomes annoying. Especially if it's only the anime that does it... the original manga is more serious focused but the chaps that picked up adapting it to anime just saw as it a chance to go full-blown ecchi and make it less serious... Although, I can't really picture some animes without their Ecchi Focus... like High School DxD. Like... the MC (Issei) goal is become a harem king... so there's bound to be Ecchi. But what, he'll dream to be a uh... Demon King or something instead? The strongest man alive? I can't see that... the comedy factor of the show would pretty much be gone I'd imagine. |

ANYWAY.... i obviously wouldnt stop watching anime, i'd just watch like 2 or 3 a season instead of 20 and i'd almost never buy anything lol AND i'd lose most of my masturbation material :( plus the industry would absolutely die, since whether or not you want to believe it, the extreme cuteness or sexiness of the characters is the main thing thats attractive about anime |

| Fanservice/=/ecchi Ecchi/=/automatically bad Fanservice/=/autoomatically bad Even ignoring the fact that my dick wouldn't be happen, some of the best anime incorporate sexual elements that can also be used to make you horny into their story, it becomes part of their identity. anyways it doesn't lily matah because all the people whining about fanservice are elitists that don't get called out on being elitists who like "mature anime" such as Rainbow/Cowboy Bebop/Parasyte/any anime by studio Madhouse that handles "mature themes"/any anime that's not a light novel adaptation by studio Madhouse and want real "depth" to their story-telling, like lazy adaptations from a once great but now garbage studio. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| It would be VERY bad for business. Whether you people like it or not....fanservice sustains the industry. Look at all the bishoujo figures and anime goods that contain sexual content that are made and sold. Go to ANY website that sells anime goods and you will see just how vital this is. I'm NOT saying that fanservice and ecchi should be the only thing in anime....but what I AM saying is that it is necessary. |
| The only redeeming factor of a lot of anime would disappear. That's not good :( |
 |
| Another fanservice topic that's only targeting ecchi. Meh. At least just say ecchi instead of fanservice if you're strictly focusing on it. As for trying to stay on topic, doujinshis will make up for it. |
| keijo would become significantly less popular |

Rei366 said: At least be competent when trying to be a smartass: Fanservice disappearing? Does it mean that we would get less mecha action in series with mecha? No more series with 50% of each episode entirely deddedicated to robots fights? It seems to good to be true! vonhusenburg said: By that I mean, no panty shots, no disproportionately large breasts that defy the laws of physics, no "that one episode where the characters go to the hot springs and you know for a fact you gonna see some boobies, and the main character is most likely going to end up in the girl's bath by 'mistake'". OT: I think its actually too late for that change to be good, sexual fanservice is a very big part of sustaining the industry. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Then all of the otaku would go kill themselves (good riddance), and anime would be great again. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

Lord_Sithis said: If fanservice disappeared, the first thing I would do would be a super huge party. There will be free alcohol for all my friends and a LAN party for 72 hours straight. Playing hardcore awesome games like DaiOuJou, Dark Souls, and a Phantasmagoria of Flower View tournament in which the one who loses a round has to take one shot, and the tournament ends when only one player is alive. TL;DR: Celebrate Lol invite me too, I can't get anyone I know to play POFV with me =X PoeticJustice said: MortalMelancholy said: Then all of the otaku would go kill themselves (good riddance), and anime would be great again. fanservice is not just tits you know that right? It's not gonna be very convincing if you're planning to say "it includes panties too." >.> |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| There would be infinitely more quality anime, because outside of the blood and gore gimmick, there would be no other way to really promote a anime, but to attempt to actually create a interesting/quality anime. |
