Too Much Fanservice?

(1/19) > >>

geoffreak:

I just happened to come across this strip in a webcomic, but it brings up a valid point. Have anime series gone too far with fanservice? Or is it that they haven't gone far enough?

Wizzy123:
NONSENSE!!!!!! :D There is no such thing as to much fanservice. Thats why it's called "FAN" "SERVICE"

Fanservice is part of the ingredients for making good anime. Some can do without it, but it's always a plus to have it. I really don't think

they have enough of it these days. Mainly the new anime's for 2008.

zherok:
I think it depends on the premise of the show. Lucky Star is essentially all fan-service, but the entire show is designed around it. In most other animes, they're simply pandering scenes or episodes. They're base filler content. Most of my favorite shows have solid foundations to build off, and I can't think of one that revolves around or relies upon fan-service (excepting again, Lucky Star) to make it great. It's hard to aspire to greatness with panty shots and topless onsen sequences. They're by nature filling in for weak writing.

i kept watching evangelion cuz the previews at the end of each episode always promised more fan service next time. :)  Just kidding, sort of. honestly,  i won't watch a show for fanservice, but when it's there i'll enjoy it.  kinda like ordering french fries and getting ketchup even though you forgot to ask for it.

I loved Spice & Wolf's 'fan-service'; which mainly consisted of Horo saying naughtier things and being more flirty than usual, LOL.
