Loki Laufeyson Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) It is the mindset of everyone who said they dislike fanservice in this thread. ... I knew that. Really i did. Hurrrr....Now it sorta makes sense. There's no way that's true.I'm here, at least. So you hate any form of fanservice? What a sad life you must lead...

AnonymousSpeed Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I hate any form if sexual fan service. My celibacy might make that kind of a mute point though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think people complaining about fan service is the main reason why fan service exists. It's like a dumb joke that gets funnier as you repeat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did love me that Summer Scramble especially when Libra is a Sorcerer! Mmmhmmm. I love Xenoblade for that reason. I love how Dunban has a whole skill set based around him fighting with..NO CLOTHES ON! Well, hes got smallclothes but yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I haven't read through all the posts, but I wonder if someone's already mentioned Toaru Majutsu no Index II. The first series had very little to none, was quite conservative, plus it was a great series and I enjoyed watching it. Series two rolls in and suddenly UPSKIRTS and NAKED SHOWER SCENES EVERYWHERE. What the fuck is this? That is what pissed me off about it the most. It's acceptable when you're watching something like Love Hina or Shuffle!, it's almost expected. But not in my Index/Railgun. Piss off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So you're a fanservice hipster? Hahahaha. "If you hate fanservice, say it here." The only time I don't dislike fanservice, is when I'm the only one getting it. Hipster In all honesty... I have been recently >_>; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Oh look, an interesting topic. For me, it depends on context. I will use the following two anime series to explain myself: Sword Art Online (OF COURSE) and Highschool of the Dead. The latter has a hell of a lot more fanservice than the former. I like it a lot better, and one of the big reasons I hate SAO so much is the fanservice. How does that make sense, you ask? Context. Sword Art Online thinks it's good. If you're going to try being serious and really grab the audience with your story, you shouldn't use cheap tricks like fanservice to keep their attention; it just cheapens the work. SAO has so much wish-fulfillment fanservice in it that any semblance of a good story it could have had is no longer existent. Highschool of the Dead, on the other hand, is all about boobs, butts, and blood (zombie blood), and knows it. It doesn't try to get you to take it seriously at all, it's just a thrill-ride of craziness, one that I enjoyed plenty as a result. There is is a middle ground here, though. Sex sells, and sometimes a piece of entertainment may need to take advantage of that just to get itself off the ground and get an audience. Papakiki and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou are good examples of this in anime: they start off with a good deal of fanservice, but when they get going the fanservice largely gets tossed out and they end up being pretty good. It's not the most desirable way of going about things, but it's better than the story never getting out there at all. Then there are other things like Fire Emblem Awakening that just kind of have light fanservice sprinkled around that is never really referenced and you might not even really notice depending on how much you look for these kinds of things. Like the above, not the most desirable way of doing things, but I don't mind it in most cases. There's a manservice side to this, too, but obviously that just isn't as common, and I don't really think any differently of it (if anything we could use more). I enjoyed Free!, though. In the end, sex sells, it always will, and we will have fanservice. Just like I voted not to remove porn from the internet, I'll take my fanservice in moderation. There's some fanservice that I like, and some that I don't. Like, where's my beach scene featuring good-looking dudes in bathing suits?!In Free! Seriously, it's a swimming anime about 5 dudes who go around in swim trunks all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I played Super Robot Wars and is a massive fan of mecha anime, especially the very old ones, and considering that old mecha anime is pretty much synonimous with fanservice, seeing Fanservice is pretty much a neccesity. Anyway, I don't really give a damn because when I see a mecha stuff, I'm too busy drolling over those giant robots fighting each other, so pretty much as long as it did not influence the thing too much, I don't mind.

Integrity Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 For me, it depends on context. yes but since when could these kids parse something like context it's all or nothing, man, all the time (addn: free! is amazing and everybody should watch it, speaking as a straight dude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
