Got to love how Usagi Drop is the background image for that video. ;D
But how many people laughed their ass off at this? I recommend to watch, it's hilarious!
"It objectifies the female characters, I can not identify with the character I only see them as a pair of tits and ass."
Just, wtf dude. ;D ;D

Or in other words, "I can't care about female characters unless they're figureless, sexless dialogue machines, just like my hero Ayn Rand." Just another one of those "everything must be completely innocent or hardcore pornography, no middle ground is allowed" types. Love how he talks a big game about caring about female characters' personalities, then goes on a slut-shaming rant about Inori's outfit in the latter half of Guilty Crown. While completely ignoring the more normal clothes she wears earlier. Then top it all of with an "anyone who disagrees with me or has different opinions is retarded." Yeah, real objective there.

Fanservice in general is childish so I can understand it being annoying in many cases. Sometimes it fits the world, but even when it does it's usually because the world design is built to pander to fanservicing. Take "Tehchi: War on Geminar"... the fanservice was annoying as hell to me. It fit the world, yeah, but only because the world was created based on a 14 year old boy's wet dream. "Robots AND titties AND super special magicool man AND 90% of the population is girls who all want the D!"... yeah. No thanks.
Every medium has it, but it's more noticeable in anime for because of the added bouncing and how blantant it gets. For some series people mention fanservice but I don't even notice it, because it's a subtle thing or them overreacting... but in the really fanservicey shows it's fairly ridiculous. Part of that is the categorization issues we have in anime. There are too many categories, but at the same time not enough. Anime encompasses every genre you can think of, and there's definitely a "Beat off material for young boys" genre. Since it's hard to define the exact genre/content of an anime based on a cover image and blurb it's easy to pick something up that isn't the exact genre you're expecting. When that happens it's easy to get annoyed by things like fanservice, so I can understand the bitching. On the other hand I'd rather just realize I'm not the target audience for the title and move on.
