I think everyone who isn't asexual likes some form of sexual fanservice but it depends on how the fanservice is presented, how much is presented (if it is too much it could take away from the plot or other elements), sexual orientation (a gay guy or a straight female would obviously not be interested in sexual fanservice targeted at straight males),what type of sexual fanservice they like, if the fanservice is accompanied by lame, terrible , non funny comedy cliches (cough, cough shitty comedy ecchi harem anime).

If characters are having sex or whatnot, that's a completely different scenario then the utter POS this topic is meant to discuss.

Don't confuse those things. There's nothing redeeming about random panty shots, and crazy over sized breasts bouncing around.


I'm sorry, you're saying underwear and lady-breasts are not sexual? I wonder what you do find sexual then.

Well we all know how old you are now, if a picture of panties, and some goofy, nasty breasts bouncing around is enough to get you off lol.

Look, if someone wants to watch porn, god damn it, watch porn/Hentei. Stop ruining anime, and spamming the industry with atrocious shit like ecchi/fanservice.

Panty shots and big boobs flying every where would be really distracting watching a show like that though. Imagine all the female characters wearing skirts and having big boobs while fighting the titans. That would be distracting and really funny.

It doesn't get me off, but a pair of "nasty breasts" (hah! Gay!) is never a bad thing to see in my book. People are overexaggerating, it's meant to be lighthearted humor and if your show has fan-service it's most likely not a serious show anyways, so I don't understand why you're complaining.

Oh, you do?

So many assumptions, so little knowledge.

Feel free to explain to me what you do find sexual since it isn't lady-parts-related-things like boobs/panties (which, I agree, can be a bit less sexual than I'd like but are all the same under the definition of 'sexual').

At least you can accept what you consider 'honest' fanservice.

Akame ga Kill is serious? Lol. Code Geass had a little fan service but not enough to bring down the anime, you're just nitpicking there. Mirai Nikki was stupid with or without the fan service. The others I haven't watched, but I feel like people are overplaying fan service, it's not that big a deal

Here's the thing, everywhere I look here people QQ about too much fanservice. Now, don't get me wrong, being sexist isn't a very positive thing (so ideally we'd have more fem-service) but how does a few scenes with fanservice in a show that IS NOT a slice of life or drama genre reduce the rating?

For me, the only time I can recall being bothered by fanservice is when I watched a slice of life show about little girls called 'Yama no Susume' (5 minutes an episode, 13 episodes) which was pretty good for the 5min show concept, and then inserted unwanted and unrelated fanservice right at the end of the last episode (which was an 'OVA').

To further explain myself - I can see how it can get annoying if it's excessive and deters from the show's 'feels'. I can also see how it sucks if it takes up time from the show, but from what I've seen most fanservice is either part of the comedic relief (thus not taking time) or taking part during a scene while it doesn't affect the scene itself (recently watched Bakemonogatari and it did this well without taking time from the dialogue).

So yea, explain yourselves if you can. And, again, if you're a lady (or gay) and find it sexist - I'm all for making more femservice.


I love tits,ass and panty shot fan service. I would love it if it was in my favorite tv shows had those things.

-I was referring to shows that try to set themselves up as serious,not how serious you take them

-As I stated above,while most of the time it's not enough to bring down the show itself (Except AKG),the individual scenes themselves can (and probably will) be annoying,as i stated with Kallen Booty,and the few times it did have fanservice ended up being out of place

-And who knows,maybe i am nitpicking,i just genuinely find those moments annoying

Ok, you cleared that up nicely - Vongola.

I watched Geass and came with the serious-business attitude and thus went out very disappointed. I wish someone would tell me it should be taken as a parody beforehand. Anyway, I take it as a parody show.

I get the feeling that I responded in this topic already, but apparently I haven't since it was only started a few hours ago. Fanservice becomes "bad" or perhaps better said annoying when it becomes distracting. Just when that happens depends on the person watching. Of course if the story isn't any good to begin with it can become a crutch for a series.

IDC about fan service it's just most fan service shows suck cause it detracts from the character. An example is Steph from No Game No Life. The worst character ever invented, her whole point was to be a walking bundle of fan service.

I found Jibril even worse than Steph (who acted more like a human than most of the characters in NGNL)
For some reason I read Jibril as Avdol and I was wondering how Jojo got dragged into this.

fanservice in itself is not bad.. I mean that's why it's called fanservice. But too much of anything is bad especially if the fanservice is too overwhelming and the plot is getting inconsistent because of it. But I'm too lenient when it comes to fanservice that it doesn't affect me that much.

* Because it is often out of place and can ruin both mood and pacing of a show.
* Because it is often distasteful, overdone and unrealistic.
* Because it is objectifying and degrades the character.

If I watch a show and it shows fanservice in my face, I immediately lose a huge chunk of my respect for that show. For anyone who likes it, go ahead, watch til your heart's content, but I find it difficult to enjoy an anime that has scenes where I'm supposed to drool over bodyparts.

Nothing is wrong with fanservice, except how they do it in fairytail because that's way to obvious. If it was tagged Ecchi I wouldn't have a problem with it, but they didn't and that's why Fairytail's fanservice is just plain bad, because they use the most random things just to add fanservice.

if a show needs ecchi scenes to keep the viewer interested then the writing in the anime probably sucks.

There is no such thing as an ecchi anime with good writing and compelling characters.

Fanservice is incredibly broad, but it's not inherently bad and it can't be proven as such.

Art is subjective, get over it.


No one is asking for proof, this is a way for me to learn why the hate exists beyond the obvious reason of taking time from the actual show that could be better spent in theory (thus I expanded upon comedic relief and during-dialogue fanservice).

The hatred is irrational and fan service can be easily implemented not to "waste" any "time".

Me too, I hated that. I kept yelling at her to be more usefull. At least the others made up for it. I find fanservice natural but if they shove in too much I wouldn't get far unless its HSOTD. Its still good just needs to tone it down. Like Chobits for example. My favorite romance but its not all fanserviced and it still completes what it set out to do.

I see what you're saying, it just gets very repetitive after a while. If you're going to make a show indirectly about sex, then why not just go all the way through and make it a hentai?
Just my opinion though.
