What are your honest thoughts about fan service in anime, Sup Forums?

Light humor or needless distraction?

If done right, it's just the thing to help me rub one out.

I think there's tasteful and then there's LOOK AT THIS ASS LOOK LOOK LOOK

source?

Boku no Baka

Usually pretty cancerous honestly.

I'm not a fan.

Don't mind it. Keeps the prudes out.

Fine with it if infrequent.
Hate it if it's constant.

>I think there's tasteful and then there's LOOK AT THIS ASS LOOK LOOK LOOK
Yeah, but sometimes they can overdo it so much it becomes amusing instead of annoying.

I like it when it's used sparely, makes it more memorable.

It's good and people who dislike it should probably just find another hobby.

A powerful instrument used by several anime series to compensate for terrible story, idiotic characters and/or horrible pacing. For example: the monogatari series.
When used lighly is not that bad. When the entire show depends on it, its completely disgusting.

I don't really care it either ways.
It doesn't bother me, but since there isn't any real sexual ones of lolis, I don't like it either.

Its service for me so I like it

every anime need more fanservice.

I hate all fanservice

Its distracting, if I want to masturbate I just go straight to porn, watching fanservicy shows sounds like a waste of time for me

Fanservice is the life blood of anime.

Depends on the show. If I decide to watch a shlocky comedy/Harem/ecchi/whatever, yeah, sure. If I'm watching Shonenshit, I know it's to be expected. It's when it breaks into kther genres/shows up in shows randomly that it's annoying.

Either Rin x Sen, Ran -> Sem or Rin x Sen + Ran -> Sem

Yes, these are actually the titles.

same here dog

It needs to have just the right amount of saturation. Not so much that the other elements of the story are muddled by it, but just enough that you get a sense of cuteness and maybe even a more adult sense of slight lewdness from it. Humans are intrinsically sexual creatures, it's important to treat it with reverence and respect.

no its sauce, specifically ypgurt

Need sauce.

Can drown out the show

its funny to see a little thrown in

Pretty much this. Use it once or twice and at the right moment, it's gets a hearty chuckle. Use it every other scene and your just using a stale running gag.

This, the more normalfag and casual deterrent laced into our anime, the better. This is why loli and incest service should be especially embraced and supported regardless of one's personal taste.

If she's not going to get fucked through every hole, do not tease me.

What constitutes fan service is somewhat ill-defined. It's one of those 'you know it when you see it' things

It helps the writers so they don't have to think about a story to tell, if an anime focuses more about naked waifus over an actual plot, it's shit.

Yeah Konosuba does it right.

Fanservice is everywhere. Be it in mecha, in guns, in homages, in actual cute grills, in callbacks, etc.

To hate fanservice is a disservice to yourself as a fan.

/thread

>A story revolving on fanservice, probably better than most of your collection.

Yeah, IDK why so mad about it, a good taste of it is fine. Abuse it and it is still fine, just dont expect to be taken seriously.

Shit, forgot pick.

>IDK
>pick
Go back to facebook and then kindly kill yourself.

If it involves cowtits, then it's disgusting. Too many scenes of that and I'm too repulsed to even continue watching.

Hello gay Lord.

How are you doing tonight??

Fanservice should be an accessory and not a selling point. Thats something many dumbasses here dont realize, and call names to people who dont want 90% of the episodes being lewds shots. If you really want to fap to your anime, go watch hentai or go to sadpanda you fucks.

Things that once were childish insults to me are now honorary titles.

KonoSuba does it right though, because it plays the gag completely deadpan. Literally no one in the show ever mentions it, even the MC doesn't give the slightest hint that he notices or cares.

Fine in theory but it gets massively overused and in general is done in such a way that kind of undercuts the plot. Like, in KLK there were story reasons for the fanservice and those story reasons helped us learn about. And then Satsuki's mom started molesting and it just turned into retarded pandering.

Pretty much this. Almost everything is pandering.

Depends on the show. Some shows it's the only good thing, and it ruins others.

Mostly the latter. Ladies vs Butlers was actually pretty good. Such a shame

such a shame the fan service ruined it, i meant

you know full well which fan service people are referring to.

It's so overused and unnecessarily sometimes.

Do lewd scenes have to be present to sell anything? I doubt it.

most of the time it is just needless distraction,but it can also be used as a form to present humor (prison school)

Well, try comparing rosario vampire manga to the anime adaptation.
One had fan service, the other was nothing but. See which one bothers you more.
It really depends on the show, it's best applied in comedy and/or shows geared towards horny 13 year olds. I'm still autistic enough to fap to it at 26 anyway.
TLDR: It's usually a part of the kind of show it's in, not a distraction from it unless its in an out of place lengthy scene of its own in an otherwise story rich setting.

Depends on the show and genre, there are shows that use it well and some other that go overboard with it, in general i like fanservice as long as it goes with the anime theme and/or if there's a purpose to it.

Mostly garbage, but occasionally good if you have people with an iota of talent working on the show.

It can be as fanservice-y as it wants so long as there are still aspects about the show that I like. Eventually it just stops phasing me

Not enough fanservice these days, especially loli fanservice.

I can stand just about everything except the "accidentally falls and gropes/ogles/rimjobs a girl".

Should be a thing you have in a series now and then purely as a service to viewers.

Shouldn't be a full on genre because it kills the fucking appeal of what it is.

Having an entire show around boob presses and panty shots is fucking stupid. But it sells like crazy.

If it's in a series that obviously isn't meant to be taken seriously, I don't mind it. However, if done for no reason and jammed in awkwardly just to sell it to hormonal teenagers, then it can ruin a show completely. *cough* k project *cough*

But not if it replaces quality. If an artist wants to express sexual ideas in their art, however controversial, they should be allowed to. It's when sex is used as a way to sell media and interferes with artistic expression that I take issue with it. Sadly, this happens all too often in the industry.

I don't give a fuck the more fanservice it has, the more happier my dick is. Sometimes it does get annoying though.

when your tl:dr is roughly the same length as what you already said, it's not necessary.

Section 474.19 of Australia's criminal code is what I think about fanservice, to be honest.

The asses were nice but the floppy titties were a bit distracting.

>chuckle
>gag
What? Why is fanservice suddenly comedy? Or are you talking about a specific kind of fanservice?

Pointless

>*action*
Fucking kill yourself back to MAL.

Absolutely necessary, both because it's good to have at least one thing out there that knows about our dicks and because it's useful to have a normalfag deterrent in an entertainment medium. Just look at how many people tend to call lewdness a "needless distraction", having a way to instantly find out whether someone's opinions have any value or not like this is amazing.

You speak like a pretentious faggot who's implying that quality and sexuality are exclusive to each other.

I don't mind the odd ass or titty shot, or whatever else, as long as there aren't retarded pratfall shit like in TLR (which is fine for TLR, because it's a silly series, but I can't help but feel it's cheap in most other series).

Good fanservice can often come from the official art, at that.

He didn't say they were exclusive dude, just that sexuality can't replace quality.

You can have
quality/sexuality
no quality/sexuality
quality/no sexuality
no quality/no sexuality

Sadly the industry thinks sexuality will make it up for the lack of quality, and hormonal horny teenagers will buy it anyway so it works.

Granting me visual intimacy with characters is part of making me feel closer to them.

That shit's true to life.

Don't tell me you've never walked around with an erection and fell dick-first onto some girl's ass, happens all the time.

I'm no longer on the level where my brain even registers a mere panty shot. Wow, someone has an ass, I never knew

...

That looks straight out of hentai.

Its what Anime is about, the core and essense of it.

TLDR

Don't like it. It is too mild for my tastes and when it gets "hard" it still is weak.
Latest example: Monster Musume. Couldn't get past episode 2. The icecream blowjob scene is pathetic, so is the nipple rubbing.
I don't get aroused by this weak faggot shit so it is just me sighing 20 times per episode, couldn't even laugh.

tl;dr fanservice is cancerous, can't stand it even on fanservice series, let alone when forced in a random one.

Hahahaha, this is the future of Sup Forums.

Generally most of fanservice is just a blatant BOOBS IN YO FACE instead of being erotic or having sexual tension. If I just wanted lewd images, I could get thousands of those in few seconds on any booru, filtered to match my tastes.
The epitome of that are sudden close-ups to oversized, disproportional tits in stupidly skimpy clothing, jiggling annoyingly for no reason. It just screams LOOK, BOOBS! BOOOOOOBS!, stripping entire scene from any feminine charm. Obnoxiousness just kills the boner.

Even some heavier ecchi, where MC is forced to molest girls, lack any chemistry. It's just a passive girl moaning and reluctant guy doing mechanical job to hit his daily quota. No "they want each other" vibes, no passion, no emotions, no focus on characters, just bland softcore porn. It's repetitive, it gets boring.

Since everyone is a faggot in anime realm and properly portrayed making out/foreplay/sex are harder to find than unicorns, the best kind of service you can hope to get is some a bit more subtle, seductive scene.

I like it. If someone doesn't like fan service then don't watch that anime.

>the best kind of service you can hope to get is some a bit more subtle, seductive scene.
Pretty much this, or if not subtle, at least rooted in character and story.
Best I can think of are White Album 2 and Yosuga no Sora. While the ecchi scenes are hot, they're also conveying character information and story progression.

I am absolutely against it, mainly because this harlot kept promising it week after week, with almost no delivery whatsoever.

What the fuck

Unless it's the whole point of the show or played for laughs / shenanigans, I'm against it, because most of the times it's just tits / ass in your face in a really tasteless and obstructing way that doesn't fit the mood, characters and show.

It still doesn't come close to having sex with a real child. Sexualize animated girls all you want but all it will do is just get you in the mood.

>tasteful
More like shit taste

I'm ok with that.
I am not an feminist nor an Pat Robinson.

>What are your honest thoughts about fan service in anime
It's shit.

Sup Forums is dead

Why are you even watching anime then?
Anime is synonymous with fanservice

I like it.

I'm not

Because the use of it is so pathetic it's hilarious. And we can't help but laugh at the fact that you morons keep falling for it as good content.

>HURR DURR HOT ANIME TIDDIES
>this is the only way to sell something in our time
>these retards keep falling forever for this shit
It's your fault too, Sup Forums.

I want tumblr puritans to leave.

>fanservice anime sells
What universe am I in right now?

Please show us proof it doesn't

Check out a sales thread sometime, bud.

Easy boogeyman you got there. Even something as generic as reddit would have been more on point.
