Poll: Does Fansevice bug you?

[Humble85]

I found the fanservice in HOTD hilarious, but later on somewhat annoying. I caught myself thinking "Come on...enough is enough, alright?". I dont want to get aroused every ten seconds while I'm watching someone hack zombies! One can actually overdo fanservice.

 

[GuNyU]

not if it turns into the point of the whole series... like queens blade... or seikon no qwaser...

 

[Wintermoot]

some of it like OMG BOOBS!!!!1111!!!!ONE ELEVEN bothers me it gives anime a bad name crossovers/cameo on the other hand are great like the onsen (yes I know its ironical) from Gurren langan had some really good cameo,s from other Gainax series (the bunnie girls in the onsen are from other series like Gunbuster Mahoro Matic and Neon Genesis Evangelion to name a few) the same goes for non-anime crossovers if I want to see naked boobs I,ll prefer the internet
PS reference to other movies/TV series are also fanservice right? I also prefer that

 

[Asturiel]

Frankly it doesn't bother me at all until the point where I start getting tired of it (HotD is suffering from this) shows such as Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou had it's fair share of fanservice, but frankly I didn't care. So long as it isn't done to death in a series, I don't mind.

 

[doodger]

It's annoying, for me at least.
It's hard to pay attention to, say, a swordfight, when both duellist have a g-size bra.

 

[DSK-]

No it doesn't bother me. I don't watch anime for the purpose of seeing fanservice anyway.

 

[bubba145]

I don't care really if it destroys the story then yes otherwise no its funny

 

[Sallix]

It used to, then I hit the later stages of puberty.

 

[Fbuh]

Not if it is done in moderation. For instance, the Hot Springs episode of Outlaw Star was perfect. It was one episode, and it was at the end of the series. It capitalized on viewers having thought, whether consciously or not, "Man, I'd love to see dem bubbies" throughout the whole series.

 

[Blow_Pop]

It depends on how the fanservice is presented......For the most part I dont mind and typically find it hilarious other times though..........

 

[GundamSentinel]

It's about a little taste in fanservice placement. Faye Valentine was fanservice, but that didn't make Cowboy Bebop in any way less awesome.

I don't mind fanservice, as long as it isn't paraded around every second spoiling the important parts (like plot, something that many producers really should be paying more attention to instead of weird boob physics...).

 

[RedBeta22]

"Fanservice" is one of the reasons I cant stand Anime. The other reasons? Well, there are just to many. Don t get me started.

 

[chinangel]

erm...
/finds that last option mildly offensive.

I'm not a prude, I just don't think there is a reason for pointless fanservice.

 

[ExileNZ]

Depends on the quantity. Some series are actually decent with just a flash of panty here and there.
Some series try to hide how shitty they are with panties and boobs every 10 seconds (Ikki Tousen, I'm looking at YOU - though I hear the manga's pretty good).

Using sex to sell is one thing, but when sex practically outweighs everything else it's pretty sad.

Just got some more Sakura Mail. That's full of sex, but it's supposed to be, it's seinen. The story's decent and the characters are well-developed, if not always likeable. But how long can you watch something that pretends to be about something else (and worse, asks to be taken seriously) when half the shots are close-ups of boobs and panties? I'll tell you: not very long.

EDIT: Also, you forgot the "sometimes" option, which is why I'm writing it up here. I love boobs as much as the next guy.

 

[Demongeneral109]

If the fanservice is playing up a ship or for comedy I don't mind it that much (The Rosario+Vampire anime comedy with intermittent badass from inner Moka used fanservice for the lulz, and even lampshades it at least twice) Code Geass also did it well, developing various ships and -mostly- threw it in tastefully so that it made sense in context. But if its taking the fanservice seriously (trying to pull in the croud with boobies) then it annoys me more than anything, its an insult to my intelligence! That and most anime fans are at least fairly intelligent, and (in my mind at least) the dregs are the only ones who enjoy 'serious' fanservice outside of Hentai.

 

[Demongeneral109]

Really depends on the show. If the show has lots of sexy sub-plots and such then fine, if they just stick a random boob-shot in right in the middle of something like.... Star Trek, then its pretty silly.

uh, you do realize Trek did that right? Kirk anyone??? (I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, if you are.. sorry )

 

[Necator15]

I think it's unnecessary at the very least, and disruptive to the story at the most. I don't feel that it adds anything to the story unless you're a 15 year old boy.

 

[Axzarious]

High school of the dead isnt that bad, heck, I barley even noticed it, as the show itself was entertaining... And the 'fanservice' didnt seem to blatantly defy the laws of physics, and seemed "In place" (As in not thrown in there for the heck of it or whatnot... its kind of hard to describe) unlike that 'reel' posted earlier.

And example of blatant fanservice would be ikki tosen or however its spelled, with unneccecary cutaway shots, or shots from an angle that really have no buisness being there, other than to show fanservice.

 

[Racecarlock]

Fan service only really works if it's a natural part of the story. Sometimes something can show boobs while staying serious. Anyone ever seen devil hunter yohko? It knew when to do fan service and when to keep things serious, and could even do fan service while keeping it serious (have you seen her transform?). So it really only comes down to if it's used to distract from flaws, the same way some games use pretty graphics and bloom (Halo 2 and 3), others use their franchise title (Halo 2 and 3, GTA IV , Bioshock 2, COD modern warfare 2, star wars games), and some use life simulation elements (Fable 2). Besides, if I want animated boobs, I go for hentai artists.
