The ecchi stuff and fanservice don't offend me at all. It's just another way of earning money cause apparently it's popular when there's a girl with giant unrealistic breasts and you can see her pantyshots every 3 minutes in anime.
But what I really can't stand is as mentioned above when the girl is portrayed as useless and clueless, only good enough to show off her body or girls who are doing nothing but that. And such characters are really annoying. So instead of being offended I think it's rather pathetic.

But that's another good reason for why it's offensive. Because it's so popular for anime girls to show off their bodies. it's kinda disturbing and gross. That shouldn't be a reason for a anime to get popular. :/

Yes I agree with you
but personally I don't get offended I just think it's really pathetic when a show needs to rely on fanservice to get popular

When the only plot available is tits, yeh it offends me. Wish there were more ecchi geared towards girls tho, boobs and panty shots are overrated.

Not really, fanservice is everywhere and if I were to get offended every time a fanservice scene happen, then I might as well just stop watching tv and start reading some encyclopedia and listen to radio to avoid fanservice.
But I do get offended sometimes with oversized breast that is twice bigger than my head.
But since I'm a guy maybe my input is unnecessary in this matter.

Honestly, the thread replies in general seem more offensive than anything I've seen in anime since they involve actual human beings. People shouldn't generalize so much on one end, while on the other, people shouldn't project their morals onto others about sexuality. There is nothing wrong about sex, there is nothing wrong with a show utilizing sex related content, and there is nothing wrong with a person liking a show that utilizes sex related content.

Why would anyone be especifically offended though?

I don't think that's the right word tbh.

It's just ridiculous , because it's not something related to the plot , it's for people who think with their dick and that's it , so it's just pointless.

Keep in mind that just because something may not be directly related to the core plot of a story, that it could still be of interest to a viewer for other reasons. An anime is more than plot. But, since we are talking about it, sometimes, something peculiar can be lending itself to a not so obvious sub plot that broadens the universe the story is held in. Such can also be used to tell a bit more about the character(s). It is not unheard of for someone to miss when this is being done due to being sensitive to the medium being used. E.g. writing off a scene as just gore, sex, or fan-service when it had plenty of contextual meaning.

EXACTLY! I'm mostly indifferent to fanservice myself, but people (male and female) who get "offended" by fanservice have got to have the thinnest skin ever.

Offended, no. Irritated, yes. I'm more so irritated by the abundance of it rather than the fanservice itself. It's unnecessary a lot of the time and occasionally even takes away from what's actually going on. I'm bi and have enjoyed fanservice a few times before, but all those times were instances where the fanservice made sense as to why it was happening and the character involved didn't exist only to be something to ogle at.

What's really offensive though is the alarming rate of rape/sexual harassment shown in hentai/doujins/whatever. It's fucking disgusting and if you like them don't even interact with me

I'm a girl, I watch a lot of harem/ecchi anime and no, it doesn't offend me. If I let that stuff offend me, I would never be happy. Believe me, there are a lot of things out there that do offend me, cartoon asses is not one of them. I do admit, there are some anime that take the fan service a little too far and it does get annoying.

I second this statement.

Like Fairy Tail for instanse. It's not a harem or ecchi but it does have fan service but it doesn't go overboard with it.

High School DxD is harem/ecchi but it's also has a good plot it does have a lot of boobage that could show at any given time, but it doesn't just focus on that. It has a lot of action.

Now Love Love?, an anime I just watched for the Anime Challenge, had enough boobs and butts to raise the Titanic and sink it once again. Too much.


I don't know where I was going with those examples. I wanted to sound like I knew what I was talking about.

I don't know why people watch a show if they are going to just be offended. That's like me walking into a carrot shop and eating carrots, knowing I don't like carrots. It clearly states on the anime's page the genres that in the anime.

Ecchi: Boobs and butts will be shown at any given time.

Mild Nudity: There will be nudity.

I was wondering this myself and decided to hold an interview with the fe-male race. This is how it went:

Me - "Nee-san, how do you feel about the representation of women within Japanese animation?"

Interviewee - "Get the fuck out of my room, dumbass."

What we can gather here, gentleman, is that it seems the fe-male race at times may not be bothered or simply do not care in the slightest.

Hopefully we can now feel more enlightened, and move on to less vital discussions.

I hated Love Love. It was one of the worst shows (probably worst harem) I've ever seen. The first episode consisted of the MC running into about eight girls and seeing their panties. Most of the girls looked under 12. THEY KEPT DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

My cousin (30 year old woman) got super offended when she saw me reading shokugeki no soma during winter break. And the funny thing was it wasn't even one of the classic "foodgasm" scenes. She just saw a judge with big tits and started complaining about how she "doesn't like anime because they always make the girls look like stupid bimbos" and went on a rant about anime watchers being deviant perverts in front of my family in a small living room.

Pissed me off . I just reply not all female anime characters are drawn with big tits and she should never generalize an entire audience of anime watchers to be some fucking perverts off of some dumb ass hearsay she came across somewhere . She blew me off but I didn't think it was worth persuing after that, stuck in her ways I don't have the patience or energy to go on long arguement with her.

Thankfully most people I approach just take it light heartedly, we alt least all my friends that are girls who are anime fans take that perspective. Usually you only have trouble where you come across some girl who knows almost nothing about anime and takes a boob shot/groping scene out of context and immediate typcasts you and other anime fans. Or like in my cousins case they come across some idiot blathering about perverted anime otakus and then proceed to generalize that to all men who watch anime.

uggh, dat shows. i drop it immedietly after 2 episode. i don't remember exactly why, but i am sure it's the mc is peeping, the girls mad, but when next she peeped, it's like it first happened again. WTF? this is the most obvious one that shows if PERVERT HAREM LEADER is BAD not becuase the MC it self. but the character around it. issei and arata included. sora no otoshimono at least give excuse for it.

For me, it's kind of simple: Disproportional body measurements get on my nerves, for both girls and boys. It's irritating me when the anime gives a ton of assshots, and moving boobs, and grosslooking musclefreaks.
I don't have anything against a sexy concept though, but if you do it, make it tasteful! Let the characters consciously decide how much they want to show off their body.
One of my favorite "sexiest" female characters is Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. She knows how to use her sex appeal to her advantage.
EDIT: Even if the fanservice is there, I can still watch the anime as long it is not overdone. I'm not gonna drop something b/c of that. Imao, Shokugeki no Soma is honestly a pleasure for me to read XD

To each their own, but I just don't like it. What I REALLY hate though is how huge anime boobs are so perky that they don't need bras, or that they sway in a light breeze. If boobs the size of watermelons sat on the chest of an otherwise rail-thin girl, her back would be broken. She wouldn't even be able to stand up.

To be honest, in my case, it's really hard to tell. It doesn't necessarily offend me, I'm a very open-minded person. More than anything, harem and ecchi at this point really really bores me. Oversexualized females is not even a topic for me anymore.
The typical scenes of a guy falling on top of a girl, or the guy entering a room where a girl is naked... that's awfully repetitive and overly used in every single harem/ecchi show ever made. How is that any good? Where's the quality?
Even so, I still try at least one ecchi/harem show per season. LN adaptations. There's decent stuff every once in a while. Like Shimoneta. Lots of them are really funny so the ride is not in vain.

No. Animes like Shoukgeki no Soma and Fairy Tail I think they are funny. Anything else I don't feel anything, like do you get offended when you see a guy with no shirt or mostly naked? It's the same but the girls that are huge chested like reaaally huuuge the one whose chest is bigger than half her body, THAT! I feel disgusted.

You're calling the majority of girls disgusting since more than 50% of women have rape fantasies (which is more than for men). My girlfriends loves hentai, especially rape hentai, that does not mean she wants to rape or to be raped for real. It's the same for men, fantasies are just fantasies, and it's not because you don't like it that it's alarming or disgusting.
Also, because of its nature, it's normal that hentai is full of extreme fetishes since they that can't be covered by traditional porn.

Concerning fan service, my girlfriend loves it when it's done right, even if it's over the top. She finds basic harem and accidentally-fall-on-the-boobs-of-a-naive-girl scenes boring, but she loved the mix of action, boobs and panty shots from Highschool of The Dead.
Generally speaking, she loves sexy cleavage-showing characters, and about half her figures are ecchi ones.

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.

I just don't understand!! She's in elementary! Why didn't he go out w/ the teacher!!? She was so much better and loved him!!!

and since I watch from the perspective of a girl, so I guess when such scenes happen my thought goes "ah... another boring scene of a girl"

This too. They don't really look like females to me since the exaggeration made those girls unrealistic to have such features.

Well, when there's too much, it gets annoying coz those so called fan-service doesn't apply to me. more like a disservice, really
