The creepy fanservice is a big reason I don't like Japanime.

Other than that, if I were to go into pure hentai territory, I can name a few names I definitely watch for the plot... and for the sex... ;p

I dunno if I especially like many series that are basically completely based around the idea of fanservice, or that are ecchi and...not much else. If something's mostly only ecchi then I'm typically of a mind to ask myself "why am I not just watching/reading porn for this instead?"

That said, I can still enjoy stuff with plenty of fanservice as long as there's something more substantial going on in with the story.

...I need to start watching Shimoneta. Sounds like my kinda jam.

Ugh, I hate fanservice. Too much can easily ruin even a great show. And the inevitable accidental boob grope scene is the absolute worst scene in any show it appears in. Period.

If I had to choose, though, I guess I'd go with Elfen Lied. Mostly just because it's the only one that I actually enjoyed. That was despite the fanservice, though, and not because of it. And I actually DID watch that show for the plot.

Best fanservice scene. NSFW:

Really guys, really not one image related to Ikkitousen? That anime is "Plot" heaven.

And Kanu is my Waifu.
No, we wouldn't forget Ikki Tousen, or its relative, Freezing.

Psssst, there is totally not a bad joke on my part behind that spoiler tag.

Did someone say "PLOT"

Sometimes the plot can be quite gripping.

Though at times you got to really look hard for it.

Other times it takes a bit of time for the plot to grow.
Yes yes, we all know you watch it for the plot.

Heh.

Miura came dangerously close to creating the perfect manga. He had to pull back a little bit, or all the other manga writers would feel bad. Kind of like how davinci built genius war machines with intentional flaws.

Even satoshi kon had it occasionally.

I don't know.
Attack on titan? Does that count? Lots of butts and animation porn there.

Yoko from gurren lagann didn't really add to the story and I kept watching that despite her presence, not because of it and the "fan service" in elfenlied was so drowned in gore, I barely registered it as such.
I don't know if whatever steinsgate did was "fanservice" but it was very japanese, very alienating and very annoying and distracting from the story and I didn't like it.

Berserk kinda did "fanservice" if you consider things like innocent townspeople getting brutally raped to death by monsters and nude monsterchildren that get covered in gore as "fanservice" and i liked that because it actually supported the setting so I guess that's one instance of "fanservice" I liked there but that shit won't ever make it into the anime and will remain manga material only so I guess that doesn't count.

Really, asking for peoples favorite fan service is kinda like asking what their favorite ad is.
I can't fathom people who intentionally immerse themselves enough in what I perceive as annoying noise to block out to have a list of "favorites".

Ok the thread kinda confusing me so I'm going fanservice as in the boobs.

I suppose my all time favourite fanservice (as in boobs AND an actual plot) is this underrated gem
Yes I admit I originally watched it for the boobs (I was in my teen) but the more I watched, the more I loved the characters personality wise. I just love Rio for her obsessive money grabbing and spending wise, Maya obession with gun, Yugi the pervs, Lilican computer expect and Narvel (my waifu) obsession with her tech and aswell the the serious no nonsense Maki!

Runner up is High School of the Dead.

Eh, I hate for this to come off like I'm one of those people who get hard-ons for nostalgia, but I prefer fanservice anime from like the 90's/early 2000's era of anime. Back then they made you "earn" your fanservice and appreciate it, even shows like Agent Aika or Ikkitousen where there are panty shots in every other frame (sometimes several of them at once), whether accidental or intentional its just their for your viewing pleasure. They rarely randomly and suddenly threw it in your face and for fucks sake it wasn't a premise that held up an entire show. But I think most importantly, most of the time at least, it was consensual or at the very least wasn't 'as' demeaning and dehumanizing as it is now.

Off the top of my head RIGHT NOW, I think Dirty Pair Flash, Tenchi Muyo/Universe, Burn Up, Golden Boy, Agent Aika, Variable Geo, and Grenadier were probably my favorites of that time.
