Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?

Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?

Actually depends. Overdoing it and making it the main point of anime will make it obviously worse.

Also fanservice cant carry a shit anime on it's own

Yes.

If they spend time animating it well, and it's actual nudity.

Mostly worse, if I wanted to jerk off, I'd watch porn or doujins or whatever. Can't grasp the point of luring horny teenagers into watching anime.

Do nude sexually arousing scenes make a tv show better or worse?

Depends on how well is delivered.
Also lets remember fanservice isn't only nude anime girls doing ecchi things.

Sexy fan service in a manga made by a woman is best. Really fires up the boner

Worse, it's the #1 reason why people make fun of anime. Everyone I know, who enjoys it, enjoys it on a ironic level.

Depends on the anime and the fanservice.

Fanservice makes a good anime better.

Fanservice also makes a bad anime worse.

It's the other way around.

i am always pissed off when theres an scene that should have an upskirt shot but it forcefully doesnt

Fan service is like adding pizza to a party.

You are either improving the party. Or your party is lacking and thus you are ordering pizza.

Better. But if the show is really shit then better doesn't make the show good.

>Fanservice also makes a bad anime worse.
I disagree

Mostly worse. Can't take it serious anymore at that point

That's not fanservice though. That's pornography.

This is fanservice.

Spot on.

There's nothing inheritly wrong with fanservice itself (it CAN be done tastefully), but the problem is that most studios just shove it in your face and completely overdo it.

It's a shame really, because subtle fanservice is a lot hotter than blatant fanservice.

/thread

Depends on the anime

problem is that for half the population (iq under 100) the subtle fanservice goes unnoticed and the blatant fanservice is just barely noticed by them

Fucktarded nostalgiafags think all fanservice aresexy fanservice. Gore fanservice is also okay to these fucktards. Fucking shita.

I like it when it's done right, and in the correct amount.

Exactly the opposite. Fanservice can make a good anime hard to take seriously, and fanservice can make a shit anime entertaining at the lowest level.

>Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?
Fan-service is better. If it's fully nudity it is a bit much at times.
Usually it's best if they only hint at nudity.
The idea of nudity is far more titillating than actual full nudity.
The moment has so match the maturity.
If a couple is getting hot and heavy you can add more but stop at a point.
Lewd stuff should have limits, and fully nude stuff should be tame in that it's not sexualized.
Fully nudity should be in innocent moments for instance a wave comes on the beach and takes a girls swimsuit with it.
Showing full nudity make the anime a porno so it has to hide it using leaves or objects moving across the screen.
If you can see nipples or genitals you've passed a line.
It's no longer fan-service at that point, it's porn.

Depends on the anime. |'m not watching BokuMachi to see tits, but if I pick up something like Hajimete no Gal and it has no fanservice, I'll drop it after the first episode.

Worse of course. It's basically the author trying to lure the readers with waifu/husbando fap bait. To me it feels like the author doesn't trust his art (unless for fanservice), character construction and storytelling skills.

Fan service is good when they get a hentai artist on per diem to draw a proper pair of tits

There's no fan service in hell I guess.

I think if it's natural to the unfolding events and doesn't feel like a wink-nod from the author, then it's fine. As an example, a steamy romance scene with some undressing and physical contact might be appropriate in the context of a story, while a generally non-sexual comedy show dropping in some titties strikes me as crossing the line a bit

(Full disclosure I like fanservice 99% of the time. I've watched every single episode of the -Monogatari series including movies, so it barely even registers anymore)

>Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?
Of course it makes it better, you get to know the characters more in depth. Some shows are so shit that they don't have fanservice so you don't even know how big are their tits or what panties do they like to use.
How do you expect artist to draw doujins of them if they don't do this? That's why Haifuri will never get doujins.

>Monogatari fanservice
good
>Other fanservice
shit

Yes, you can compare the doujin quality and the amount and quality of the fanservice and see thay're connected.

something akin the fanservice of jojo's mother can be rather entertaining without making the show worse.

Who make these questions? I bet is a woman.

It can somewhat redeem a shitty anime, but it detracts from a great one.

Why aren't there any good Yamada and the 7 witches doujins?

tasteful fanservice always makes it better

It's rare that I get to say FPBP but you earned it

>fanservice cant carry a shit anime on it's own

It carried Fairy Tail for 60something volumes and over 250 episodes, user.

It makes it better, but better enough that it's worth the degree to which it commonly interferes with the writing.

I hide most of my powerlevel, and fanfiction is one of the reasons why.
I have no hesitation in praising or recommending a truly great anime, but when one has stupid fanservice I just can't bring myself to do it. For me it can turn a genuinely good show into a guilty pleasure.

Yes

Better

Fpbp

It's an integral part of Japanese media. What really fucks me off is the whole "they're just sacrificing artistic integrity for money", because it's completely fucking wrong. Japanese have loved farcical sexual expression as far back as the meiji period. It's been ingrained in their art for decades. They've been using sex as a big joke for longer than we've all been alive. What some retards don't seem to grasp is that nips just enjoy it. Plain and simple. It's not selling out, it's not money grabbing, it's just what they like to make. Similarly to how they love slapstick humor far more than we do. It's just a consequence of they way their art has evolved over the years.

I think it is the prude americans who have problem with fanservice.

Yep

2D > 3D

it depends on how its presented, sometimes it can be good but too much of it is bad. You gotta work it in gently but with a firm grip like your kneading dough in the morning before baking bread

Better hands down. It can turn a crappy anime that is terrible into something that is tolerable to watch. It can also help a great anime by making it more fun to watch.

>does icing make a cake better

>Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?
no, it doesn't
good anime are good with or without fanservice

>good anime
>fan service

>implying that an anime can be good without fanservice

>What really fucks me off is the whole "they're just sacrificing artistic integrity for money", because it's completely fucking wrong.
literally just compare highshool of the dead's anime to the parts of the manga afterwards
at least in that case its brutally obvious the fanservice was just inserted to get extra cash

ping pong was pretty good
though i guess that had like one bath scene with a female character

>ping pong was pretty good
Unless winona ryder was involved, it can't be good.
Haven't seen it though.

If the fan service has no connection or relevancy to the narrative then it's probably just distracting and doesn't really need to be there.

I have watched otherwise not great anime because the fanservice was of excellent quality. The promise of good fanservice may also make me pick up a series I wouldn't otherwise consider.

And then there was Wake Up Girls. Panties and white bikinis galore in the first two episodes and then all gone. Total bait and switch.

worse.

its just distracting and says you need to dangle shiny keys in front of your audience rather than deliver a good story.

i can watch porn if i need to get off

why not just watch porn

worse

>they love slapstick humor far more than we do
what's with that

Fanservice is literally for kids or degenerate retards.

I want to fucking watch an story with actual depth and thought put into it, not to masturbate.

Better of course. Fanservice does everything better.

Exactly this. Fanservice should be the icing on the cake of a good anime. Not the cake itself.
That same people also thought Fairy Tail was good.

What if it's something like TLR?

Literal cringe

sexuality is a positive force that belongs in everything

if u disagree u are normalfag or american

>parroting 50s freudian shit
>calling others american

don't be a gay

>wanting to watch an actual anime instead of porno makes you gay

i didn't want to pull this card but you left me no choice

you know who whines about fanservice? reddit

Depend on the plot take queen blade all the show is fan servise and for me is shit but they make 2season of this shit

Depends on genre. Fan service works when its done in light mode.

Excessive fan service like Eiken/Dragonaut is more of a turn off in a disgusting boob fetish than actual funny. No one likes big boobs, no one like excessive boobs.

Everything else is okay, in relative moderation.

Also To Love Ru is a God's gift to man, if he/she/it exist.

>If normies think something, we have to think the opposite!

Normies dislike eating shit. You should start getting into diarrhea meals then.

If the anime is good it makes it worse, if it's bad it makes it better.
Basically it pulls it to average.

I honestly fanserve to be sprinkled in. Like when it happens, it's noticeable. Maybe for comedic effect. It only gets annoying if it's done every couple of minutes.

I concur, but what about fanservice that is so treated as a natural part of the world instead of something special?
One could say that this would count as overdoing it too, but at the same time if it's treated as normal within the world it does not feel distracting or overdone at all, at least not to me.

>no nude
>no nipples
>fan service
No.

>watch good anime
>last episodes turn to fanservice meme

Fanservice ruined highschool of the dead.
Fanservice saved mahou sensou.

What about Needless?
>Episodes 1-7 work like your typical action sci-fi with a little fanservice sprinkled in
>Get to episode 8
>Battle damage fanservice galore
>That ED

Contextual fanservice can make a show better.
But fanservice for the sake of fanservice is always going to be detrimental to the overall experience.

How the hell would a dumb bloody haremy zombie survival show get ruined by fanservice?

>action scene
>camera zooms 1" from the girl panties
>can't see shit captain

Feet fetish is fan service?

>saved mahou sensou
Where is my ultraman picture when I need it.

I don't see the problem.

Fan service in appropriate moments is always superior, it's half the reason to watch animu. Quit taking cartoons seriously.

...

It should either be the main focus or shouldn't be around at all.

TLR does it the way it must be. Makes the fanservice actually good. with beatiful girls with long legs and big soft breasts being constantly fondled.

Most cheap fanservice is pretty lame.

Better, but only if it doesn't replace actual plot

THE main problem is Fanservice without a good story foundation.

Neither. It doesn't influence the story/characters in any way.
