Why isn't the term "Fanservice" in the Lexicon?
Any answers? |

Well, the Lexicon is a project that is in the process of implementation. After all, the Lexicon indes page clearly states: "That's all we have for now. Would you like to suggest a word to add in the lexicon?"
If there's something missing, make a suggestion. If you feel you can cover it sensibly (and I do mean sensibly) and eloquently (and I do mean eloquently), then write a suggested entry and submit it. "It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." - abunai |

here is the current definition of fan service in the lexicon
It merely needs a tiny bit of touching-up and then it will be ready to post. |

We should also add Scanlation to the Lexicon, as it's to the manga world as Fansubs are to the anime world.

Here's the current version:
Can someone suggest a good non bishoujo/bishonen example of fanservice? |

I didn't see what was wrong with what you had before. I think gratuitous amounts of transformation sequences, cute mascot placings, and tournament fights/battles are examples if you're thinking along those lines. I think you should add something having to do with having lots of pretty, bishie men. Right now it's all having to do with male fanservice. |

You could also correct the persistent typo:

Occasionally I've heard of detailed action sequences involving mecha referred to as "fan service".

Fan service is the act of adding something with no direct relevance to the story or character development into an anime (or manga) for the purpose of pleasing fans. The most common form of fan service is the addition of scenes of scantily clothed, seductively posed, well-endowed women, or something similar (panty shots), also cpmmon in anime and especially manga aimed at female readers are similar situations involving male characters. However, fan service does not have to be sexual in nature. Other forms of fanservice include gratuistous amounts of detailed mecha transformation scenes, mascot placings and so-on.

Typo fix:
It wouldn't hurt to add some whitespace, either. - abunai |

Ikki Tousen is a good example of pure fan service anime.

Smash Hit and Love Love, as well as the unedited (non-broadcast) Girls Bravo are even better examples of the phenomenon, at least in so far as gratuitous pantyshots and the like are concerned.

Typographical term for that extraneous stuff that isn't text and which prevents the text from being an illegible monolith. Observe: ____ Exhibit 1 - entry without whitespace (but with typos corrected) Fan service is the act of adding something with no direct relevance to the story or character development into an anime (or manga) for the purpose of pleasing fans. The most common form of fan service is the addition of scenes of scantily clothed, seductively posed, well-endowed women, or something similar (panty shots), also common in anime and especially manga aimed at female readers are similar situations involving male characters. However, fan service does not have to be sexual in nature. Other forms of fanservice include gratuitous amounts of detailed mecha transformation scenes, mascot placings and so-on. ____ Exhibit 2 - entry with whitespace (and still with typos corrected) Fan service is the act of adding something with no direct relevance to the story or character development into an anime (or manga) for the purpose of pleasing fans. The most common form of fan service is the addition of scenes of scantily clothed, seductively posed, well-endowed women, or something similar (panty shots), also common in anime and especially manga aimed at female readers are similar situations involving male characters. However, fan service does not have to be sexual in nature. Other forms of fanservice include gratuitous amounts of detailed mecha transformation scenes, mascot placings and so-on. ____ See? Much less uncomfortable. I don't mean the breaks need to be at those particular points - and with a text of this length, one break is really enough. But they need to be there, or you have one long run-on paragraph. Andweallknowhowlegiblerunontextis, don'twe?
