Do you question the integrity of a show's narrative if it has fanservice (barring ecchi shows, obviously)?

Hell no. If I didn't want to see fanservice, I wouldn't be watching anime.

Sometimes, but it really depends. Bath scenes almost always make me roll my eyes, as do hot spring episodes and girls getting walked in on changing (and then hitting or yelling at the man for not knowing).

If it's non-sexual fanservice, then cool. All for it. Fan disservice as well, ala in Attack on Titan, you get to see nipples and a dick...but the nipples are on an old hag titan and the dick is attached to Grisha Jaeger, and it's tiny as fuck.

You should question the integrity of anything sold for profit.

Fan service doesn't just have to be sex related.

That being said, as long as it doesn't detract from the story it's fine.

No. If the show is great in other aspects, fanservice tends to just make it better. But watching something that has nothing going for it apart from fanservice is boring. I don't care about fanservice of characters that are nothing but walking sex objects.

As expected of a jew.

Isn't it just porn at that point though?

Nah, just a pessimist.

You should question the integrity of the building you live in.

It's up to code.

I don't give a shit about an anime's "integrity". I'm watching to be entertained, not to be impressed by how earnest they are.

Fanservice is annoying if it's out of place. But so is anything else that seems out of place, like comedy shows trying to pull off drama.

>comedy shows trying to pull off drama.

I fucking hate this more than anything. Almost every comedy anime has to end on a drama arc.

Is that a man's ass?

It all depends on the type of show. In some series it not only works but it is required. Others are destroyed completely by its presence

Yes.

Men should not have asses that small, it makes me feel confused.

Fan service is for men and uneducated people only. Even if it's the most popular anime in Japan right now, I can't get myself to watch One Piece with their primitive female character design. It disgusts me and non-manga fans who think manga=porn with no plot or artistic value.

Attack on Titan is the only manga in the world who shits on your perverted phantasies and deserves an Oscar for it.

>Attack on Titan is the only manga in the world who shits on your perverted phantasies and deserves an Oscar for it.
Go fuck yourself

I guess you've read about 20 manga.

fanservice can add to the show.

It's the reverse for me.

Would this count?

This is hilarious.

I tried to watch this anime with my friends and all male friends left the room at this scene.

So weak.

No because I'm not an oversensitive faggot. If it bothers you so much stop watching anime you pussy.

all a matter of subtlety.

I watched this anime with my friends and we all ended up sucking each other

I believe that fan service should be an extra/spice and not the meat/maindish of anime if that makes any sense.

I am usually not into gay/yaoi stuff, but that looked cute.

No, I'm not ashamed of the human body and human sexuality unlike most retarded westerners. If something can tell an engaging story, have enjoyable music, and also give me a boner, it's pretty much the perfect art form. Only a fucking retard thinks art doesn't also exist largely to stimulate the penis as well as the mind. What the fuck do you think all those famous painters and sculptors were doing? Just drawing the naked body for no reason at all? No, they were jacking off. It's ridiculous how westerners try to cling to this idea of seriousness regarding art.

Oscar Wilde would intentionally spill his champagne on you and break your knees right now.

Real art leaves fanservice to the viewer's own imagination.

The purpose of fanservice is to service the fans. It doesn't necessarily have to be sexual in nature, although most people use the term to specifically refer to sexual fanservice. If it's annoying, then it's not fanservice.

If it it's a serious plot and the narrative is disrupted by any kind of "fanservice", then I'd certainly be bothered by it. If it's something like a super robot show, then I expect the whole point is to get the viewer pumped up and feel happy watching it so it would be fine in that case.

It depends on how well it's integrated into a show. For example, I don't mind the manservice in Yuri on Ice nearly as much as I mind Izetta being whored out.

Actually, this. Flying Witch had an ass-shot in every episode. But you could very easily ignore it and never notice it. Good fanservice isn't obvious and in your face, and distracting.

Funny because I remember Izetta being whored out at all.

*don't remember

I shall use this picture to scare normies running back to tumblr.

Fanservice is a positive. Full-blown erotica is a negative unless it's ironic.

Look at this circle jerk. The url you guys were looking for was Tumblr not Sup Forums

Pretty much my thoughts on the topic. If it doesn't feel positive then it's more like fan-disservice.

I want tumblr to leave. Just fuck off, all of you. Man, these threads used to just be bait and everyone would shit on OP for being a fucking faggot. Now it's a circlejerk of gay bullshit that belongs anywhere else.

this

What does this thread even have to do with tumblr? OP was asking a legitimate question and even used a still from a fucking yaoi anime rather than critiquing female exploitation or something stupid. If you can't form an argument beyond "tumblr strawman" then you're just making yourself look like a fucking retard.

This is some really strong bait, you got me

Depends. In some comfy shows I'd prefer minimal fanservice so I don't go every minute without fapping my brains out. Gochiusa was hard to watch for this reason. Pic related did some nice and clean fanservice where it was just characters interacting with each other

You too, back to tumblr.

This is sad and pathetic.

It starts getting really bad after episode three, with scenes that serve no purpose besides
>look at Izetta's cleavage
>aren't those some lovely manabags

The /k/ fanservice is spectacular and should be applauded, but whenever Izetta's bust is shoved into my face I can't help but think we could be seeing something more relevant instead.

...

Why

You're asking the wrong question.
Why not?

Imagine having regeneration. You could get a prostate massage from the inside. Only one cut needed.
And gorefags don't get much service at all anyway.

YoI is an ecchi show though.

>having normalfag friends
Or actually
>having friends

It's not on mal so it isn't.

Go away and stay go we dont need your cancer here

You don't mind Victor's bare ass displayed on screen but Izetta's boobs bother you?

Not really. I'm more bothered by the "generic cute girl whose only purpose in this story is to be a generic cute girl doing generic cute things"-type of character that has to be shoved in every story that has even a whiff of being slightly dark. I don't understand why they always do it, it just doesn't work for me.

I'm glad someone said it. Tired of seeing people praise yoi when it's just another fujobait show.

Is this tumblr falseflagging now?

These threads have been around for fucking years, and Sup Forums always used to enjoy figuring out what the right amount of fanservice was.

YoI is refining the fujobait recipe for anime.

(You)

Eva is kino and it had fanservice.

I actually laughed so hard at this. (You)'ve earned it

Pretty insecure tbqh, probably noticed they were faggots upon watching Viktor in his naked glory.

Yes of course. It is bothering to see naked people and she has mosquito bites where the light shines and she says "oniiii-chan~" all sexual-like and it ruins all enjoyment I placed in it because they felt the need to pander to otaku. I don't watch those shitty anime though, you can usually tell just by looking at the show.

Another thread to purge?

It's a fucking cartoon. No, I don't question the "integrity of the narrative" of a cartoon.

>it's just a cartoon

Sorry Reddit you stopped at the wrong board
Go be a normalfag and/or teenager somewhere else

Only if fanservice is the only thing it has for it.

neo/a/ got late to the party and thought all of those ironic fanservice-centered-threads were true. Their brain is rotten and beyond repair and you did this to yourselves, meme loving shitheads.

Because tumblr hates "sexualization" which is really just a natural state of humanity. Wearing clothes is more a perversion of human nature than being naked. There's nothing wrong with fanservice in anything, if a show doesn't have fanservice that's fine, if it does then it's just a bonus. A show that's completely fanservice is still totally fine, the only reason it's bad is because of the story, not the fanservice.

Fanservice and a story with integrity can definitely coexist, it's just that they usually don't. I don't fault YOI for it's fanservice, hypersexualized male characters are still a bit of a novelty and the writing holds up regardless.

Yuri on Ice's fanservice really drags the show down a notch or two.

I can handle the QUALITY during the skating scenes but there's no excuse for the amount of trashy dialogue like "his skating is so beautiful it could make even a man like me pregnant!" or Christopher's trashy monologues where he says he is literally going to cum from skating. The male nudity in YoI is the least trashy or embarrassing thing considering how downright awful the dialogue is at times.

The amount of fan service in Bakemonogatari left me not wanting to watch the sequels due to how bad it got some times. I really liked the rest of the show aside from the fan service.

Anime and manga always had awful dialogue though.

It depends on how it's presented. If a show has a serious scene but instead of focusing on the characters all you can see is the main girl's panties than I am against. I think sex scenes are okay if they move the plot forward but things like a random "skinship grope" scene puts me off because women don't act like that and the characters become less real to me.

But sex is a central theme of the series since half the MCs performances are about it. Chris is obviously a foil to Yuuri with his 'mature eros' and even though he's ridiculous, it's a comedic series to begin with. The pregnant line isn't supposed to be taken that seriously either.

Yes. But it's realistic for figure skating.

But then we would just have a literal circle jerk left in this thread.
