Is Fanservice hate nonsense?
falconmick:
my issue with fan service is
1. its not needed, I'm watching the anime for the Action, not the panty action.
2. Allot of the anime characters are fairly young, which makes the series a little off putting, I know most of them now days go under the all characters are 18+ banner, but yeah.. From the history of anime + the way the characters are drawn it's still off putting...
I know allot of people do like it though, so I won't make too much of a fuss, it's not just me watching the anime and I still watch it even though it has the fan service.
Just thought Ide give an opinion that was slightly different to the general vibe of how this post has gone
Oh, btw, I made this post because I'm watching Kore wa Zombie Desu ka... If you like panty shots then hurah! you found your anime.

I'm a big fan of fanservice. Just yesterday I asked myself, "why don't they make shows/movies with fansercive like in anime?"
I wrote alot about it before and I see the "hate" from two sides.
1) I watch alot of Ecchi shows and it's an art on itself when done right. As mentioned before, I also see 3 catagories. You can have hardcore fanservice like Ikki Tousen, kanokon, I like those shows, it's fun, great characters and good Ecchi. Next we have some with more story, Girls Bravo, B H Gata Kei, Love Hina,... and as last "serious" with a touch of fanservice (which I consider normal as in point 2).
But a bad show will always be a bad show, no pantyshot can safe Strike Witches. Lately I notice an increase in nudity, those shows also carry the Ecchi tag while I don't see anything sexy, naughty, erotic, etc. in those shows. Qeens Blade, R-15, Ladies vs Butlers,... are shows I dislike because they offer nothing. Those shows are full of meaningless nudity, there's no value in just trowing boobs at you. Artistic value is zero.
Note: Many people complain about HoTD but I liked the show just because the fanservice, mediocre zombie show + fanservice = me happy.
2) People seeing ghosts. Some are too focust on looking for things that aren't there. If you watch western tv shows and movies you will also see partitial nudity, shower scenes, a girl in bikini, sexy ass shots,... But people don't see it because they aren't looking. Here you have your anime elite, they see sexy girl: complain about moe. A 8 year old girl: complain about loli's. Something erotic or just a girl in towel, bikini, pantyshot: complain about fanservice/Ecchi.
So yes, fanservice hate is nonsene. The majority of shows aint focused on fanservice and they don't show anything different than regular tv shows and movies.
If you hate a show due fanservice then you have watched the wrong show, it aint for you.

Well, I thought SW was plenty enjoyable regardless of the fanservice, but maybe that's just because lolis and guns. Idk.

I don't have an issue with fan-service, unless it comes at a bad time.
Like, imagine, if during the final fight in Akira, Kaori's tits are show as she's absorbed.
