| Common sense and logic would dictate that people who find fanservice and the like distasteful would simply stop watching those genres which contain said scenes. |

The community in itself is far more offensive than any anime series could ever be. Massive breasts are really stupid and ridiculous though. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Seeing as males are still the majority viewers and supporters of the anime industry....I'm not sure why we should give a fuck what females think about any particular anime that is in fact targeted towards males. Just like I don't give a fuck about anime like 'Free'. |
| As a girl: I don't care, as long as the plot is good. Unintelligent and annoying girls in anime is bothering me, though. |
 |
| not really. fanservice doesn't really offend me unless they go overboard into hentai which is rare, so, i guess my answer is no. |
 |
| i find it offensive.... wait no i find it annoying and i lose respect for the writers |

| I know this sounds like a cop out answer, but it all depends. I am not easily offended by skimpy outfits, especially since I believe a woman's clothing doesn't define who she is as a person. Sometimes the fanservice is unnecessary to the theme, but that isn't what usually offends me. Usually what offends me are the stereotypical actions of the female characters, but not their body types or their bewbs. Example of non-offensive anime: kill LA kill Example of offensive anime: diabolik fuckers...i means "lovers" |

Well it depends what you are talking about. With this particular show it appears it's written by a group of young girls who read too much fan fiction. Usually in our media (at least American media) women are highly objectified due to misogyny, but in anime the objectification isn't as profound. And like I said, skimpy clothing does not automatically mean a woman is being objectified. |

| I wouldn't really say it offends me, no. If a character has big boobs, they have big boobs. It's rare for me to prefer a design with boobs that are so big that I'd consider them especially unproportionate, but I could never see myself getting offended over something like that. Like, it wouldn't even make sense. As for skimpy clothes, again...why would I get offended over that? It would be ridiculous for me to actually be offended for a fictional character being into showing their body off by design. If someone walks in on them changing clothes, again, why get offended over that? I don't see how any of what you said could logically transfer to me personally being offended. If they had a character that the anime bluntly said was a representation of me, like, by name or whatever, and was making me out to be a bad person or something, and assuming it wasn't some sort of satire from a friend or something for comedic purposes... Then sure, I guess I could see myself getting offended over that. But like...the things you said? I feel sorry for anyone who would get offended over things so removed and unrelated. Like, even if I was someone who takes things way too personally... What's wrong with there being big breasted women? Are big breasted women not allowed to be shown or something? Now that would be offensive. And skimpy clothes? What is this? The age of the puritans? A girl can display as much flesh as she wants, whoever tries to tell me to cover up deserves a slap. As for someone walking in on someone getting dressed, for one, it depends a lot on the relationship between those involved and the context of the situation. But even when it is someone being forceful or rude, it's a part of the story being told. Getting offended over that would be like getting offended over someone dieing in a murder movie. It would make no sense. I feel like this reply has turned into a rant almost, but I really am honestly baffled at the notion being proposed. |

 @ Topic - a little bit of the reverse, but as a straight male I am not the least bit bothered by sexualized men or manservice in general. Particularly calling upon Free! for an example, really nothing to get riled up over unless you're fat and jealous of these chiseled pretty boys. That's probably why I don't really see the point in girls getting offended over it either. Unless the show is clearly sending a message that it wants you to get on all 4s and submit to the patriarch, it's really just entertainment at the end of the day. |

Like...the way the characters do and say the things they do is so stupid, and you can tell they were trying WWAAAYYYYY too hard with the whole "I'm a mysterious sparkly, sadistic vampire douche who calls you a bitch". lmao I mean, seriously who writes this stuff? |

| even though I'm bisexual, I just try and ignore fanservice. It usually goes well, but sometimes when it goes over the top I just start to get sick of it. It's great to take a break with yaoi to distract myself with some bishies, but honestly I understand the nature of the shounen genre and I try and enjoy it the best I can without the influence of in your face fanservice. |

It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| It's quite simple really. I don't watch those shows. |
| As a guy, I like it until it gets out of hand or just way too ridiculous. Especially when it's in a somewhat serious setting. *cough cough* High School of the Dead. (Although that isn't a very serious anime.) |
 |
| Usually I'm irritated if there's fanservice in shows that aren't ecchi. Especially if it's that "now let's throw this woman's melons in the viewer's face" If the fanservice is subtle and they don't make a big deal about it, then it doesn't bother me that much. |
| Nah, it doesn't offend me but I do get annoyed sometimes when I'm watching a show not labeled as echii that flaunts a girl's over-sized boobs/butt at random times. *cough* K *cough* I mean, a little fan-service is fine, but if it's so exaggerated or there are so many camera shots of a girl's boobs/butt in a single episode....ugh, no. But I tend to stay away from echii shows anyways, so meh. Skimpy clothing, I don't really care about. Now awkward scenes where the the guy walks in on girls changing? Well, I'll just facepalm at how cliche that is and ignore it. But now that I think about it, it's been a while since I've watched a show with a scene like that. |

| I only get annoyed when I see horrible boob physics and when clothes look like they're sucked vacuum around the boobs. not really NSFW but spoiler anywayz |
| I wonder if it's any different to ask if manservice offends guys, and it shouldn't. |

| Offensive , no Ridiculous and sometimes sad and over the top , yes |
| does my opinion matter? whatever.. I really hate fanservice when it's in animes that are not ecchi, those giant breasts make the charakter apeal stupid to me, even if she's not. And damn, that GC scene- unnecessary as hell |
 |
| I'm not offended by it, although it does get annoying sometimes. |
Kuma said: Josine said: open spoiler hoping epic bullet avioded boobs in HOTD, dissapointed.I only get annoyed when I see horrible boob physics and when clothes look like they're sucked vacuum around the boobs. not really NSFW but spoiler anywayz Was thinking about that too, but haven't seen that show. |
| I am fine with the existence of shows that are not aimed at me, so ecchi or harem shows don't offend me - I simply don't watch them. Though, of course, their existence may be reflective of some not so good tendencies in the modern pop-culture, but that's another thing. What I've started to detest lately is when male-oriented fanservice is treated like a normal state of events and added mindlessly, like, for example, when you have a half-consistent fantasy-world, not centered around ecchi, and male characters look fine, but every female defies common sense and goes around in stripper garb and on high heels. It's just... no, it's not offensive, it's depressing to look at for the sheer stupidity of it, and it's so old and beaten. It breaks immersion too. A good example would be that priestess chick from Arslan Senki. I just can't... You just don't go travelling on a horse in such clothes. Like - why? It's as if a guy was going around solely in glitter and with a flower up his ass, and everybody just rolled with it as if it was fine. Make some clever fanservice scenes, if you want to show her tits, not this. Well, I can overlook it, if there's something good besides it, but it seriously is detrimental to my enjoyment of an anime or a manga. |
