i appreciate fanservice as much as they view it, uncensored.

Pandering to fans is pretty common in modern Western animation (think something like Family Guy or The Simpsons). It doesn't lean towards sexual content but it amounts to the same. It's even a trend in many computer animated movies. I'm pretty sure I remember the last Shrek movies getting faulted for worrying too much about focusing too much on the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" sorta mentality and not enough about the plot.
Either way, an anime centered around sexual fan service still comes across as a weak hentai. =/

Not familiar with a lot of anime, so I had to look it up. Reading wikipedia's synopsis of the first episode, I have to say I won't be rushing out to see it. =/
I very rarely drop a series entirely. I'll burn off or move to an external hard drive a series if it's not immediately worth watching. But if I were to add up all the series I have dropped before finishing, Ecchi ones would easily top the list in terms of genre. I'm not against nudity or sexual content, but the problem is the genre is an excuse for poor writing by flashing some tits. Often, these are not even particularly nice looking tits. The show is probably not going to be about a particularly mature romance. And as a comedy it's doubtful they're going to be particularly witty or funny. They as a genre aren't necessarily identical, but the details that separate them from each other are frequently unimportant and they're just going through the motions. Personality types defining characters are usually a pretty big part of this. Characters become defined by what eccentric stereotype they bring to the series.

I don't really care about too much fanservice or whatsover, as long as, no oversize boobs... :D LOL

I agree with all of that. It really wasn't plausible how all the different girls kept hooking up with him. I was glad to see some stupidity forcibly removed from the gene pool at the end of the anime. :)

(click to show/hide)he fucking deserved to die. but god ... sikai (spelling?) died for his sake. forgot what that other girl's name is, those two should have realized it from the beginning. girls should stay away from guys like him, and guys need to stay away from girls that resemble him. they live among us, and are a fucking nightmare to deal with (and i had a relationship with a girl like that, if anything ... she is FAR worse than him, bad memories.)
