| For me it depends on the show. In some shows like Zero no Tsukaima season three, I hated it, but for some reason I liked it in every other anime I've seen. |
 |
| If you mean fanservice as in something like Genshiken that bombards you with a bunch of anime references to satisfy your dorky inner Otaku, then yes, I love it. If you mean panty shots, boobies, and short skirts.. I'd say I wouldn't want them out of my ecchi animu. |
| I don't mind it, though anime would be better off without it. |
| If its eechi then yea.... Otherwise not really By the way... Foggle WTF with ur avatar? |
| Depends on the series and the nature of the fanservice. I assume you're talking about ecchi fanservice, which I'm mostly indifferent about in ecchi comedy/romance etc shows, but it really can be distracting and stupid in a lot of cases. Like Strike Witches. It'd have been a lot better without all the pantsu highlighting low angles. |
| I think a little ecchi fanservice in most shows is okay, and I really don't care one way or the other, but what annoys me is when they show a schoolgirl flying backward and the leg or whatever covers it up. Look, if you're going to make a scene where fanservice is possible, don't go out of your way to make sure panties or whatever don't show. If you're not going to include fanservice in an anime, don't create such situations while making it. |
You can find me on IRC. |
| I don't like ecchi. and making a series more or turning into ecchi for fans is just... why? Ugh. but in general, just follow the darn storyline if there is one, don't mess with it. |
 |
| um depends if there is so much it might as well be a hentai, then ya it annoys me. but otherwise i don't care. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| I don't mind it, as long as it doesn't become so overbearing as to detract from the rest of the show. Assuming that the show in question isn't one where T&A is its raison d'être, of course. |

| Depends on the show such a basic answer but the right one. |
| My anime list |
| Depends on what I'm watching. If it's a serious action show, I don't want any fan service. If it's a comedy/romance, then I'm fine with some. |
 |
| It really depends on the show. Some series the fanservice just fits in so well that you don't really notice it, but others it clashes too much with the general mood that you end up wondering they they'd put that in at all. |
| Depends on the show. Example: Code Geass; simply didn't need the boobage of Kallen and C.C. |
   |
| it totally has everything to do with the anime that you're watching. I dont mind it at all and i believe some people over react WAY to much against it, its all for fun, its anime for crying out loud... |
| I hate overdoes. I believe it kills the storyline after a while But in harem, romance, and comedy.... I'm okay with a bit |
 |
| Ya it is ok with some types of anime, but if you overdo it then its just annoying and takes away from the story. A little is good, and the timing is also important, a lot of random service is what aggravates me. |
| If it goes far enough. I hate those fanservice where it just doesnt fit and it also just shows maybe one "fanservice" scene, but thats it. If it doesn't work all the time in that sense it just doesn't work. |
 |
| It basically depends on the show. If it's a hentai or a harem show then it's expected but otherwise it shouldn't be there. |
| I think fanservice never hurts^^; but whats important is that if there is a story. when the producers think that they only have to provide fanservice and not plot at all than it is not really enjoyable anymore. |
     |
| fanservice is anime... anime is fanservice... if its not fun for you, its fun for someone else no matter how corny OR gay it is. So i like any and all fanservice that involves oppai, women, lolis, and any female character. Men and bishie BS fanservice is just wrong but those appeal to the Fat Yaoi Girls (but it at least appeals to a group) A perfect example would be the large increase of number of fanservice shots from Code Geass season one, to season two. In season one alot of people (well japanese people at least) were screaming for more C.C. and Kallen fanservice... and you can obviously tell they did just that in season two. Another example would be Rosario Vampire season one, to season two. They're all there for obvious reasons. So its all a matter of a put up or shut up type of thing. Not acknowledging fan service is like not acknowledging you're watching an anime. Usually just the title, picture, and synopsis should more than suffice into what style of fanservice you will most likely face. Be it bishi, yuri, oppai, etc. If you don't like the fanservice chances are, you shouldn't be watching that anime in the first place. Even if its a super serious anime and they stick in that random hot springs or beach episode, if you're turned off from a whole series by one episode... than what does that mean in your integrity as an anime viewer? Meh, if you dont like fanservice imo, just skip it or dont bother watching the series :) |

| I usually don't mind fan service unless it's really out of place. Nothing wrong with a few pantsu's floating about the screen or boobies bouncing about the place :P |
| I can do without fanservice. I like it when it's done decently, too much fanservice easily ruins an entire show though. |
 staff.applications ▼ guidelines.faq ▼ report.abuse ▼ thx.skittles ▼ thx.kina ▼ [H+] ³ ▼ |
| It is for the fans isnt it? lol, but really I do enjoy it in ecchi |
| I like fanservice...ALOT!...Only real problem id say i have with it is sometimes i will end up staring panties/boobs and such rather then actually paying attention to the subs...sometimes ill even rewind a little to get another look... |
 |
| I enjoy a casual fan service as long the don't exaggerate. |
 |
| It deepends on the show and waht kind of fanservice. I don't like ecchi fanservice at all, it disturbs the show. The worst is when there is a wonderful season, and first out in episode 1 of the next they start of with ecchi fanservice scene... It seriously annoys me. |
   |
| Depends on the show. If its a ecchi, harem, comedy show then its fine. But I hate fanservice when its not really necessary. |
| I do love fanservice, but some of the fanservice I've seen so far in Moetan I think I could do without. That's really the only exception for me though. |
 |
| Hate: Koihime Musou Love: Vandread Yes, I think it depends on the show. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I am weary of it all. A little fanservice here and there is ok, and even amusing, but it feels like they are getting pretty desperate for cash now, and the only way they can rake it in (hopefully to fund more worthwhile projects) is to create stupid boobfests for all the Fat Otaku Boys to drool over. Bleh. I can tolerate fanservice when it is done in sort of satrical way - when it deliberately makes fun of itself. (such as Godannar) But when a show with fanservice seems to take itself seriously, or throws it in randomly amidst what otherwise might be an interesting plot, it feels really out of place and distracting. Blah, it's hard to explain ^_^ |
| Like Shoujo? Visit: Emily's Random Shoujo Manga Page |
| If the fanservice fits well with the scene, then often times it is very funny and I like it. When there is too much though and it just feels unwarranted then a hate it. |
| Depends on how it's done. Many times it's done bad, sadly. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| I kind of get annoyed by it. I mean, sometimes it makes me feel a little embarrassed to be watching the show. <_< |
 |
| fan service is good when used in moderation. generally its unnecessary and annoying - if I want that I can watch a hentai / read an h-doujin. |
 |
| I only see fan service as a "bonus" and shouldnt be depended by what kind of show it is. I dont think an anime will become "better" by removing/adding fanservice |
| In a 'serious business' anime? No. In a silly slice-of-life harem anime? Sure. |

| I prefer my anime without fanservice. It's cheap and tacky, and does nothing to improve a show, in some cases even detracting from it- see Minami-ke Okawari for an excellent example of writers stooping to constant pointless fanservice at the expense of anything funny. |

In sterquiliniis invenitur. |
| Service me please, nothing like some ecchi to heat things up |
 |
| Fanservice feeds the industry money, so yes more fanservice please. |
 |
| There are two kinds of fanservice: 1. The kind that rewards you for sticking with the show. 2. The kind that thinks you are an idiot. You know which is which. You know which is not needed. |
Scud said: ukonkivi said: Moonlapse said: In a 'serious business' anime? No. What about the nudity in ghost in the shell? That was probably more "artistic" nudity than blatant fan-service. Thats not nudity... she's an android... not a human so its not nudity ...right? >;) in all honesty, there is a difference between relevant nudity (not fanservice) and irrelevant nudity (fanservice) |
| "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| I don't really mind fan service I guess, but that's because I'm some perverted dude. But it doesn't really affect the way I view anime so anime without fanservice wouldn't really make much of a difference to me Actually I find perverted jokes to be funny, so I guess that wouldn't work without the fanservice? |
