| Fanservice is only good if it's done by Go Nagai. Other fanservice is uninspired and pathetic. That's the truth. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| There isn't really anything wrong with fanservice imo however I just hate it when it's overdone, it kind of takes the novelty away. Also If it's overdone it takes some of the seriousness out of the show for me. delulytric said: >Starts anime with serious plot, gives people impression of perfect anime. >Anime introduces moe/harem/fanservice any shit after certain X episodes. |

| Many times fanservice ruins a good anime... |
I luv u |
| It really doesn't bother me, I don't care if it is there I don't care if it isn't and I won't score an anime lower just because of a lot of fanservice. Well I am going to be watching High school DxD New soon so if I did score lower because of fanservice it would probably get a 1. |
Look at my wonderful signature. |
| Pathetic, disturbing, stupid, and unnecessary. Excluding To Love Ru. (Motto and Darkness) I liked it. But others? No. |
 |
| There are a few anime that I don't mind fanservice not one bit: Freezing- Yeah, it is full of fanservice, but somehow that anime assimilated fanservice with it's story, so I don't mind it; HotD- I mean come on. That anime was made for fanservice purpose. If you hate it, don't watch it, simple as that. Characters are attractive, and drawing is hellishly good; Kaze no Stigma- Fanservice here and there, but nothing too much to hate. I hate fanservice with moe characters or something similar to them. Or those oops situations. I mean come on, what are the chances that girl will fall from stairs using big boos as cushions and fall right on your face? |

| If you don't like fanservice, you're a faggot. If you like it, you're a weaboo who will never get laid in his/her life. Isn't that basically how it is? |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Oh yeah, another reason: The Mighty Whitey feels its values are (or at least should be) universal, so they try to impose their morals and ethics on cultures that are different (a word that, in its mind, is interchangeable with "inferior") because the existence of that which are different from themselves creates cognitive dissonance, thus to them opposing social values are a direct challenge, a threat to be wiped out. |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |

| I think some people don't like it because in some animes sometimes there is too much fanservice.I don't care how much they put in as long as anime is enjoyable to watch. |
 |
| For me nothing but it need's to used right.Prime example would be Highschool DxD New in "serious" moments it isn't being serious like Issei fight for big tits for trying to join the enemy because he is perverted as him.Its ecchi/herem and that's what you get it isn't trying to be serious at all. |

HalfMetalJacket said: Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing. Or something like that. This, it becomes annoying after a while. I think Gurren Laggan had a perfect amount of it while still sticking to other things. FMA Brotherhood pissed me off by adding huge tits on Winrey. |
| 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. Mod Note: Topic merged with previous version. |

| 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. |
| fanservice is great. There are all kinds of fanservice, but people seem to mind only sexual fanservice. |

| Carnival Phantasm is best fan service ever created. Non-stop hilarity and it's just oh so likeable. aka not panty / boob shots but just good content & fun |
| A guide to living with that one guys ugly signature on MAL. 1. See that SullyNathan has posted last in thread, abort thread. 2. After clicking quick reply, close eyes and type out reply. 3. Try to scroll as far down as possible before replying if you prefer to keep your eyes open. 4. Report said signature for being offensive to the eyes. 5. See he is active in thread, scroll through thread while trying not to have eyes burned, sigh, click back & lose interest. 6. Move to another part of MAL forums where he does not visit. MAL Jesus where are you? |

| Seeing a 12 year old mentally challenged girl's panties isn't really all that exciting. I got out of 7th grade a while ago. |

|
| There's nothing wrong about it but sometimes people just want to see plot you know, or character development, even if it's just a little, but the show is only good at throwing fanservice at our face, at some point, it gets really frustrating. I've lost the desire to continue watching a show before because of this. |

Red_Keys said: Seeing a 12 year old mentally challenged girl's panties isn't really all that exciting. I got out of 7th grade a while ago. That sounds like a very specific kind of Hentai more than fanservice, but I suppose Bakemonogatari is using younger girls (too young?) as well. I don't mind it so long as it's part of the comedic relief or takes place during a scene that's unrelated. |

| Fanservice is incredibly broad, but it's not inherently bad and it can't be proven as such. Art is subjective, get over it. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| Fan service exists for no other reason, then the fact directors/studios want anime to sell, without the need to put any effort into the anime at all. How to make a crappy anime step 1: Put ecchi or fan service in it. Now the anime is doomed to be just good at best, and most likely will be far worse. |

Panty shots aren't the funny bit, usually the reaction of the characters around the fact that panties were shown are the funny bit. If you don't find the reactions funny, fine. -- Immahnoob said: 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). |

Zoltor said: Fan service exists for no other reason, then the fact directors/studios want anime to sell, without the need to put any effort into the anime at all. Well, to be fair, as the name implies - fanservice is for the fans. People, as a whole, like it or don't mind it. Just that it appears that the more engaged audience (which I assume the people on MAL are) is more inclined to dislike it than the average viewer. |

| Didn't Yama no Susume have a bunch of lewd camera angles before the last episode? I vaguely remember a scene where one of the main characters was on the phone with another, and the screen was focus on her crotch the entire time. Is this the right anime? |

| Fanservice anime exist because a lot of the anime buying power are pathetic, depraved, horny japanese teenager that buy shows with their dick instead of with their brain. It is the lowest form of pandering of any kind, replacing brain thought and actually interesting themes with hur dur boobs panties HOT BUUUYY hnnngng WAIFU By buying shit fanservice anime you are helping the japanese industry be even more shitty than it already is today. Not that it can help, Japanese media is already rotten trash by now. |

You need to ask who these "fans" are that its aimed at. The answer is, pedophiles and 14 year olds. I watch anime for the story, not to wack off 4 times every episode of an anime. |

Which I always found funny, because no real fan, would ever in a millions years, want to have their favorite char be degraded like that. It's a stupid title, for a practice no one with more the 2 brain cells to rub together, would ever get enjoyment from it. |

| Imo, anime giveth and fanservice taketh away. The set ups to insert fanservice into an otherwise non-ecchi show always seem to be some brand of tired, predictable, creepy, borderline sexual assault scenarios. It's rare to find a scene where it doesn't seem forced or pointless. Just watch hentai! Then again, fanservice is fulfilling a demand. And that demand is gratuitous titillation. It's really a subjective thing. |
Zoltor said: It degrades both the characters, and the story(lmfao that is, if there's even a story to beginwith). What's so degrading about sexual scenes? I suppose it's a matter of morality, and I have none. I don't find sex/sexiness degrading at all. As for all the 'pedo' replies, I guess that is an acceptable reason. I don't mind anything that's a teenager or above showcasing sexiness. It's a very natural part of life (disregarding the forced scenes which usually indeed suck). Hell, it's better off if pedophiles are enjoying anime than real underage porn (not to mention actual rape). |

Don't try to change the subject, fanservice does not = a sexual scene, all it is is a bunch of cheese 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. Hentai is a hell of a lot more respectable atleast, and it doesn't try to hide what it is. Plus it also has a legitimate purpose. Where fan service, and ecchi is nothing but wannabe hentai, that is used because it can be sold to people under 18. |
