Too Much Fanservice?

It was not that drastic of a divergence from the series LMAO. ;D

Yeah I guess it was just a drastic departure of what I was hoping it would be. Not that Code Geass was bad or anything I just had an image in my mind of what it was going to be and when I actually watched it I found that it wasn't that.
miwasuzuki:
errr...but are you guys not tired of seeing the same fanservice happening in all animes? i kinda gets retarded after awhile...especially if you're used to ecchi stuff.
Forte Grazia:
I think the problem is that Americans are more used to Ecchi themed scenarios with the ever dominant multi-billion dollar global porn industry than the Japanese who are just getting their feet wet in the industry.
To date there have only been a handful of Japanese stars who have crossed over to mainstream American porn simply because of the fact that most American males do not find whining, crying and or baby-ish behavior to be arousing unless there is painful anal penetration involved.
It could also mean that the fan-service will be over-sexualized in some cases to compensate for the fact that either there is no fanservice in the edited for TV version, or that porn is really hard for children to get in Japan these days so it is fufilling a small purpose for the local audience.
If you notice the type of Ecchi present in the fanservice of mainstream Anime series are a bit more sensual, mature and less childish from a Western perspective than actual Japanese porn for some reason.
WinglessOne:
Haha, very ironic. I've been talking with some of my friends about the fact that a large majority of anime title's have at least one beach/hot spring episode that rarely has anything to do with the actual plot. Reading this topic I realized all it was was fanservice. But I don't think we can just flatly go ahead and say there is or isn't too much, it all really depends on the setting of the anime and how well its integrated into the series as a whole. The whole Lelouch thing was stupid, but not necessarily out of place in terms of the setting, but in regard to the plot it had no real meaningful value.
Tatsujin:
fanservice = the root of anime.
