As an avid anime watcher I tend to watch a lot of shounen, Harem, and Ecchi series and I see a lot of girls with gigantic breast, Skimpy clothing, awkward scenes where the the guy walks in on girls changing, and panty/ass shots all over the place and as a guy I wonder does this offend the opposite sex at all?

I'm sure no normal person gets offended over trivial things such as fanservice anyways.

It doesn't offend me but it does irritate me. I prefer my girls to be moe, not punching a guy for seeing her panties or walking around with F cup tits that bounce when a breeze blows by.

Was this comment designed to be intelligent?

But in response to the topic at hand, no, I don't get offended. I don't see why this would bother people. If you were to get offended at every instance of fanservice in anime then you might as well quit now while you're ahead.

I find girls with massive breasts offensive, or even disgusting in some cases.

But I'm a guy, so my opinion probably doesn't matter.

Yeah, massive breasts suck, need more DFC.

But I'm also a guy so my opinion doesn't matter in this thread.

Nope, I'm not offended, why should I? I just don't watch ecchi, when most of girls are kyonyuu (those VERY big breasted ones). But when girls are cute, or there are some loli, then I might watch it as well. I highly enjoyed Kiss x Sis for example.
One thing I may be offended about is how stupid some of protagonist are, they don't deserve most of those girls, seriously. Especially one from Kodomo no Jikan - GOD, I hated him. Since then I avoid anime with guys, who have glasses, lolz.

Obviously, I can't speak for all females, but I've gotten used to it because practically every anime has fanservice like that to some extent.


same.
Whenever there's a scene of the lead guy accidentally groping the breast of a female character, i will sigh and a few seconds later I will continue watching it.

Shoujo manga has fan service geared towards female and my reaction is the same.

I hate the giant boobs, they look so un-natural. To me, the female characters who have the most sex appeal that I like are ones with proportions that compliment their figures that give a more natural appearance, characters like Faye Valentine of Cowboy Bebop, Misato Katsuragi of Evangelion, and Aika Sumeragi of Agent Aika for example of are anime characters I don't mind seeing ecchi shots for.

What does that even mean?

Im a guy so my opinion doesnt really count here but i dont mind a bit of fan service like occasional swimsuit scenes or whatever but more often than not they just go waaaay overboard and put in un-necessary fanservice and stupidly large boobs that just make the show weird/awkward (i think thats the right word xD) to watch i also dislike panty shots they make me cringe and are totally pointless xD

I'm a girl and I'm not ashamed to admit that I love those occasional fan services (such as swimsuits, showering, or onsen scenes) because I find many of the female characters in such scenes pretty attractive.

As for giant tits on screen, they don't appeal to me all that much but I wouldn't be offended when watching them. I just find them very funny.

But panty shots are just plain pointless.

I don't really care I just try to ignore it. Anime is about plot for me not fanservice. But when it's just plain stupid I do get really annoyed.

Unless they are fujoshi or something, I don't women should get offended with ecchi shows. Take Yosuga no Sora for example, while its sex scenes can be little explicit even in ecchi standards, they are no different from erotic novels which made by and for women.

^Ironically I met more yuri fangirls than their male counterparts. However this can be explained that most of the yuri fangirls prefer the romance rather than the sexy parts.

For example Yuri Hime magazine is more marketed for female readers but when more men are reading it the made a special issue "Yuri Hime Wildrose" which focused more on sex scenes than the romance.

I agree. The fuck man?

The more a show resorts to fan service, the quicker you know, that they know, that their plot isn't all that great.

Man. You're so right. I am the biggest and strongest of men. My balls are so big, they had to put them on my chest. Don't be jealous of me bro.

My epic manliness aside, no I don't get offended. I think there was only one show that really creeped me out. It had the usual sex-crazed men that kept trying to get the women naked, etc. But the humor fell really, really flat so instead of being funny I was just convinced that I was going to see my first animated rape and it disturbed me. Other than that I just laugh at anime girls with ginormous melons. They must have the worst back problems and, eventually, the sag will be incredible.

Some fanservice is okay, I usually just sit through it. Whatever. Having big breasts is completely fine too, there's nothing inherently bad about that. But when the show is literally rampant with fanservice, to the point where character/their plot is sacrificed for a barrage of panty shots or you literally cant go a minute without some instance of it, yeah, I get annoyed and turn it off. Constant sexual objectification of women is something that I, as a lady, am bothered by - surprise, surprise.

Not really. I don't like fanservice very much, but I wouldn't say I get offended by seeing it in anime. There are times when I see useless crotch or panty shots, and huge boobs that jiggle all the time is unnecessary, but it doesn't bother me as much as I use to think.

I usually don't get offended, but just annoyed depending on the anime. A bit of fan service I do enjoy (bi here), but like some people mentioned here, I get really annoyed when fanservice is the only thing the anime provides, especially when a decent plot and characterization is sacrificed in order to provide more sexual innuendos and situations.

If it's partnered with;
a lack of personality + lack of general plot + token love interest
then it may earn rolled eyes.

No, I'm not that sensitive.

That being said, I still hate ecchi because they tend to replace story woth boobs. I don't mind the boobs, but what's the point of watching a show with a crappy story?

I agree.

I'm bi so that sort of stuff doesn't really bother me.....No the stuff that gets annoying is when a male character goes crazy and wanting to grab and touch everything in sight....Like the case of that new anime this season "Something H game"? I think It's called. I find the male protagonist very annoying when he's looking at the other girls in the series when his thoughts should be fixated on the redhead.

Also for some reason.....I'm not really sure why but.....I dislike having female leads....For me, an anime's appeal rating drops pretty hard when there is a female lead and not a male lead....Iunno, it just makes me not have the incentive to watch.

I'm a guy and this thread has made me chuckle a little bit...no, not at the process of insulting women, just some of the responses. Pretty funny responses.

I do think big breasted women (at least the ones that are so far out of proportion) in anime are pretty unnecessary. I don't particularly enjoy it most of the time.

Pretty much this.

If the show is nothing but fanservice and no real plot to speak of then I just drop it and move onto something better.

No, it's sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, but I'm open to everything so it's alright.
I just find it funny because I don't know anyone who actually acts like that, but most girls and guys I know don't like big breasts, no idea why Japan is so infatuated with them either.

But you sorta get used to it P:
