I don't know what to think. It wouldn't be a real loss for me, since I'm a girl.

If this particular loss would trade off for some better stuff in the future, I don't mind.

wouldn't watch or fap to anime. let's just say without cute girls it becomes cartoons and no potential target to be attracted over.

As long as the girls don't start looking fuck ugly, I wouldn't mind. It would also mean a lot of writers would have to start coming up with actually interesting female characters, instead of using their looks as a crutch to compensate for mediocre writing.

Pretty much this, I hate these comments so much.

Also I'm sure the quality of series would improve, seeing as they'd actually have to focus on the real plot this way.

People are seriously believing this for some reason that escapes my knowledge.

A much better medium without a doubt.

Don't know and don't care about what anyone else would do, but i personally would rejoice that anime is finally going back to it's roots and becoming again a more story and character driven medium as opposed to all the modern shallow Otaku pandering garbage that keeps being churned out season by season.

None of my favorite anime would even be affected by this, if you don't include Shoujo protagonists into the category, but even if you did it would still not make much of a difference for me, honestly, many of the anime i enjoy are mainly or entirely composed of male casts, heck, Touken Ranbu and Servamp have like practically no girls at all even lol.

What roots are you talking about? Fanservice and ecchi trace back to AT LEAST the 70s and 80s, and you don't appear to have much experience with modern moe anime to be talking like that.

Is that so? Well, they probably weren't as predominant back then as they are now, actually i don't have much experience with moe, you are right, but didn't moe anime appear as another form of pandering to the adult male otaku?

Perhaps at some early point (and I doubt it) but that's quite incomplete and difficult to fully apply today. There's idol and moe shows with large female following, and women have been involved in their creation for quite a while. It's not a world exclusive to the adult male otaku even if the original manga appear to be seinen. And for many of these I would certainly not employ the word "pandering".

And not sure about the predominance of ecchi and fanservice anime. They are certainly not predominant today, but I think they have never been, so maybe there's indeed more of them.

Maybe i was missinformed about moe, i had the impression that they where just there to be lewded by Otaku the same way Lolis are, since aren't most moe girls lolis too? And don't most of them also have fanservice and yuri baiting?

They are not the same, definitely.

Then again, I think it depends on what you define as "loli", because to me "loli" is "sexualized underage". If you simply mean cute underage or underage-looking character then for sure that would include a lot more, but there are very different implications if you use the word one way or the other. And many shows of the like have characters in their 15s-17s, not little girls. Using the term "lolis" for mid to late teens doesn't sit well with me, since it's associated to prepubescent characters mostly, due to where the term comes from.

Fanservice? Depends. Some have some don't. Some have a couple shots here and there, some have absolutely none and some have plenty of. I don't think it's a defining trait of these kinds of shows, it depends on a case by case and also how they are adapted. There doesn't seem to be a clear correlation between the amount of fanservice and whether the author is a man or a woman either. So yeah, basically, case by case.

As for "yuri bait"... I think this term is a bit problematic. A lot of these shows have plenty of subtext, but one can't act like there is not a pushing force against confirming same-sex relationships outside of their assigned genres in the medium. It's not only rare in these shows, it's overall rare. People talk about subtext as if it's some kind of fetishization when often it's a way to insert and/or suggest romantic codes in a narrative that otherwise would not allow this kind of representation. You can't certainly make a case for everything and of course some shows may intend to fetishize and bait, but the term is overused (there's nothing fetishized about the subtext of Yuru Camp, for instance), and often also misused because same-sex romance also happens to be under much stricter scrutiny by the viewers. A while ago I was talking about this regarding Yuri on Ice!!!, for instance.

Even so, this season's Anima Yell! had a character coming out, and that was clear and explicit, in episode 3. Comic Girls earlier this year had one of the main characters confessing that she had a crush for another girl and even arranging a date with her.

I'd be fine as I really tend to prefer the mature and sharp character designs as opposed to the cute moe-y ones. Although, I do like both.

Thank you for explaining, so like with most anime it just depends on each one idividually how much fanservice or subtext if any there is, still it is not a type of anime that interests me, so i will continue to avoid it.
