Why is fanservice so prevelent in anime? I'm not one of those tumblrites who thinks it's sexist or some stupid shit like that, it just annoys the shit out of me because it's mostly pointless.
If I wanted to watch porn, I'd watch porn. Am I in the minority here?
Nah I don't get it either. I think it's supposed to compel you to buy the DVDs but it just makes me want to go to pixiv.
If there's not a lot going on in a scene why not sauce it up a bit?
It's like icing on the cake.
>Am I in the minority here?
Yes. I believe faggots are a minority here.
I like it when it's well made (like in monogatari series). All the dialogue wouldn't be interesting without SHAFT visual directing and ocassional fanservice.
Anime that rely only on fanservice to sell are almost exclusively trash though.
>Why is fanservice so prevelent in anime?
Because it's by and large an industry that lives off a handful of socially handicapped, sexually deprived nips.
Normalfag detected.
This
Otaku wouldn't buy figmas and uncensored BDs and keep the entire industry afloat if not for fanservice
I feel the same way about jokes. They're pointless. If I wanted to watch stand up, I'd watch stand up.
>Yes. I believe faggots are a minority here.
the summer meme
I like fanservice that is mixed in with real plot. If it's shown too easily or if nothing else is happening then it's not interesting
Sadly, that means most fanservice is uselss to me.
This. Sports anime are out, too, for obvious reasons. And if it's fighting, there better be some magic shit or else I'll turn on some MMA instead.
...
wouldn't you do it if it were allowed? and it also allows for a larger fan base
and what's so bad about "fun and cute?"
it's the only way they'll actually sell you dope there's like 800 animes being released each season jesus christ
Because pandering sells.
References to tanks or random anime, panty shots and meta jokes all encompass fanservice.
If it's done well it's great.
That's because you watch fanservice shows. I could make a list a hundred shows long without fanservice of any kind but I'm too lazy. Go ask on /wsr/ or something.
Because its part of anime.
If you hate it just stick to something else.
No, I think a lot of times it's just tasteless shit too. Any kind of breast gags are always awful cringey garbage.
fanservice exists in 3dpd too. whine some more faggot
That argument can be made about every subject within the genre. One could even use your very argument against non animated shows. It's simple, sex sells.
I wouldnt watch anime if it didnt have fan service like any other straight guy
mostly it's just icing without a cake, that's why I think it's pointless
Then don't watch shows with fanservice idiot
exactly. the camera lingers on female characters asses and tits all the time in traditional media
Turn it into an audio book and listen to the gratuitous dialog instead you faggot.
>hurdur, all eroticism and titillation should be outright pornographic
Literal fucking philistine.
>Am I in the minority here?
Hopefully, or else I will have lost all hope for this board.
This to be honest. Tits are art.
I already lost all hope. We're now indundated with the same "anime is dead, they don't have enough mature shows like my live-action TV" fags we used to mock.
This.
OP is a fag.
I like fanservice when it's done well.
Sex sells
Because lewd is great
Shut up sexist tumblrite
Why do you automatically associate fanservice with pornography? Something that's sexy doesn't have to be pornographic.
indeed
Why does anime even exist? If I'd want to entertain myself I'd read manga.
fuck you
Wake up Japanese women are ugly as fuck
Because there are people who like it.
Sexual stuff is the number one problema that stops me from recommending otherwise good shows to other people not in the genre. Anime will never be really mainstream while this continues. But welp, their main revenue asks for it, so. :/
>implying it's a bad thing
I still find Aimi from Stereopony attractive and her squishnose.
Depends on the context, pointless titillation is crap like Game Of Thrones, or Monogatari, or most superhero crap.
Highschool Of The Dead, Mad Men the sexuality is pretty much part of it rather than something thrown in.
Admittedly I'm using Sup Forums examples or people go out their gourd thinking only anime does it.
i think you are just scared of boobies
This
The average Japanese woman looks like shit.
Aside from that, it really depends on the anime. Though pretty much all of them do end up having some sort of fanservice in one way or another.
Most anime is dependent on blue ray sales which are primarily bought by pervy japanese otaku.
The average everyone looks like shit, though
>Am I in the minority here?
Yes. Fanservice is great.
it keeps the self righteous prudes with bloated sense of moral superiority from bringing their own brand of cancer in
that's point enough
It's a love/hate thing for me. I like tasteful fanservice but the ones that are too in-your-face suck.
otaku make the anime for otaku and not the normies
this comes with both positives and negatives
Mad Men has no fanservice, faggot. It's an AMC show.
Japs are perverted yellow monkeys
The negative you're stuck with characters that have no logic what so ever sometimes.
Postive, often inventive scenarios.
It's like that bitter sod Miyazaki said you have people that don't like human beings trying to write them.
fanservice is garbage in manga too. See: berserk
Are you making that suggestion that it's not calculated to have Jon Hamm shirtless as often as possible?
>>If I wanted to watch porn, I'd watch porn. Am I in the minority here?
yes
no it isn't
felt plenty serviced after seeing them so it can't be garbage
How the fuck is that fanservice? There're no deliberate close-ups of his pecs or bulge. They're just showing a shirtless man most of the time.
maybe that one time where they showed roger's butt or that other time where don was fucking that woman and his daughter caught him, they showed his naked legs but that's basically the only actual fanservice mad men had. they never showed the cowtits naked for instance.
Fanservice is cancer, but only when it feels obvious. If it's done subtly, you can usually get away with it. For example, Lucky Star is nothing but pandering. Even though it's not particularly sexual, it's still pandering. But it works really well. Similarly, WataMote is a sombre and mature take on the issues that degenerate failure NEETs face every day, so it doesn't feel like pandering when Tomoko does things that I do. Meanwhile, Himouto! Umaru-chan is fucking shit and I'm going to bring that up in every thread I post in until the end of time because it's completely fucking terrible, soulless, committee-designed shit.
Nope. Count me in.
But, if you separate fansevice from Pornogatari franchise, you literally got nothing left.
>implying the only fan service is pornographic
>implying the worst kind of fan service is pornographic
kek
>putting garbage like HOTD next to fucking Mad Men in any sentence
Fucking cancerous post. HOTD has fanservice for the sake of it so how the fuck are they even remotely similar you disgusting weeb.
I concede I was having a giggle.
TV wise and fan service I don't have much of a clue not having watched it for a while.
As far as anime goes though I don't really like non contextual fan service when an episode only has 20 minutes to tell a story.
I feel it's needless and mildly condescending to the viewer if in a cliche manner.
>talking shit about Highschool of the Dead
I'll fucking fight you irl
Shit man, I'm sorry, I was joking because most people deem any scene with Jon Hamm being assertive panty wetting.
>Liking trash like Highschool of the Dead and comparing it to Mad Men
Yes I will fight you and I will fucking rekt your shit, nigger.
pandering is pandering
getting rid of fanservice means you're just pandering to people described in
I didn't compare it
But it's not trash, fuck you
Stay in denial then. Weebs are the fucking worst.
i always though it was generic as fuck. i thought most people agreed with that.
don't get me wrong, I dont' think it's super fucking good
I love it because it's so extremely silly with it's sexual stuff but has a serious undertone
it's like a "serious" arc/episode of Gintama if you replaced the jokes and lighthearted scenes with tits and ass
It's certainly not the next Code Geass or NGE but it's not terrible. It knows it's strengths and plays to them without trying to act like it's not happening (looking at you, To Love-Ru and other bullshit like that)
