Now I would to see a poll of "Pandering to myself in anime. Welcome or unwelcome?", with:

"Do you like it when anime panders to the demographic including yourself, by including the sort of stuff you like in anime, even if it's not the sort of stuff the general public likes?

1. Yes
2. No"

As long as they don't over do it. Overall, I find it unwelcome since I run into more that doesn't pull it off too well. Guess it just depends on the show and if I like the type of pandering, but even then, less time on that and more on story/characters.

I don't mind as long as it's not too... you know... actually as long as my little brother doesn't see it I'm fine.

Do I like it when companies give me stuff I like?

That should be a no brainer Smile

Pandering in Anime is somewhat an insult to the fans. Manipulating one's instincts just so they watch your material and pay for it is rather inhumane. It is psychologically proven and it is obvious that pandering in Anime would only hurt the fans psychologically, while they're happy about it; not to mention how it is included in Anime that's intended for young children: In which case this goes beyond being just inhumane. To show such materiel to children so repeatedly is a crime against society. It is 99% pointless and needless in most of the times. So my vote would be a proud "NO".

You took the words right out of my mouth! Very Happy Plus, that sort of material (partially revealed oversized breasts, panty shots, etc.) isn't the reason why I became interested in Japanese anime from the start, anyway. I can enjoy any show without the need of any sort of pandering.
