so the plot, art, and characters are not good enough to sell the series? you have to pump it full of rather ridiculous sex appeal?

ME!!! Can't stand it, whether it's in shoujo or shounen. That's why, by extension, I usually never read harem manga.

It sure doesn't do anything for me. In small amounts, I am able to ignore it. If it is done to excess, it takes away from the storyline a little. I still have yet to read Highschool of the Dead, even though I enjoy zombie apocalypses a lot, as it is said to have loads of fan service. (I have ordered volume 1 to give it a shot though) .

Seconded. It ruined Evangelion for me, and it also has a problem being just about the only thing contained in some works. Such as Negima.

I hate fanservice. Absolutely hate it. It's really the only thing that
keeps me from watching shows like Gunbuster and fullmetal panic. |

I can tolerate fan service but at times its REALLY distracting and somewhat insulting.
I really want to read and watch Highschool of the Dead because I love me some zombie action. Sadly the overt fan service has put me off. |

I find it more annoying in anime, actually. Maybe it's hypocritical of me, but I can appreciate the occasional well-drawn pin-up in a manga. (Seraphic Feather comes to mind.) But the jiggling that often accompanies fanservice in anime really turns me off. (Note to animators: breasts are not filled with air. They do not float and must obey the laws of gravity.) That said, total gratuitous fanservice bothers me, like the covers to some of the Gantz chapters. Is there really a point to showing the girl mostly naked when it has little-to-nothing to do with the story?
But I ramble. Bottom line is, anatomically correct, occasional fanservice doesn't bother me. Excessive and/or random does. |

Like it, actually. I'm funny that way. Can't say that I disagree that it's getting pretty overused, though.

It doesn't particularly bother me, except when it's excessive or completely unnecessary. I remember one panel in the manga Remote, when the main character is being sexually harassed by her boss, and he is spanking her, but the panel is drawn looking up her (short) skirt. Just no.

It doesn't bother me, either. But then, I did just finish watching High School of the Dead; and I go into reading "smut" knowing darn well it's "smut"... I guess I'm just desensitized to it after all this time, maybe. There came a point where it was more, "Oh, that's a really cute bra/pair of panties," or "Gollygeez I'm glad I'm not lugging those things around," and that's about it. And yeah, I think it's become almost expected, that it'll happen at least once in just about any manga/anime--some a little more extreme than others (and--bytheway--to the "censors": honey
 we all know what's behind that steam).

I like fanservice, the more the better.
Fanservice is something that is added strictly to appeal to (or service) the fans. I am a fan and I want things that appeal to me. I cannot think of anything that I have ever read that would be made worse by the addition of fan service, and a lot of things that have been made better by it. I am speaking of fanservice in general, but if you want to limit the definition to "sex appeal" I would still feel the same. I doubt that I would still be reading "Negima!" if not for the fanservice. There are a lot of other things that I like about the series but they would probably not be enough to get my time and money if the girls were flat-chested, ugly and kept their clothes on all of the time. In my opinion, whether fanservice is "good" or "bad" depends upon your personal preference for the type of fanservice that you are seeing. Which makes it just like everything else in manga, and anime. |

You do realize for the most part "fan-service" is meant to distract you and take you away from the bad or flawed story witting, just to keep you interested in the show/manga. Any manga that I read that had fan service or at least a good amount of it usually had very flawed story and just was a big distraction. It's more obvious in manga when the writing is bad since it all there on the page for you, and to throw panty shots and big breasted girl in just to try to distract me from the story or lack of, is just an insult to the reader. I don't mind it here and there but when it becomes a distraction is when it becomes a issue. |

No I do not realize that, not at all. Do you have anything to support that accusation? |
