Anime Fan Service: Good or Bad




Nami

Fan service or service cut is a term used in the anime community to designate some scenes added to please the audience in other words it`s about servicing the fans.There are different types of fan service,it can be long and violent fights scenes (DBZ,One piece, Bleach...), an hyperactivity or a superhuman strength(Eyeshield 21, Inazuma eleven,..) or it can also be a full shots or a demonstration of robots(saga Gundam, Code gease,...).

Lupin III
But the term is now commonly used to refer  to erotic or sexual scenes in manga or anime. I remember in the 90`s anime were very family friendly, I used to watch them with my dad who is a big fan of dragon ball  and captain harlock. I don`t think I can watch an anime with him these days, that would be too awkward. Most anime  now  have some forms of  eye candy,the most common are sexy maids and girls in bathing suits or a shower scene.  Are all these ecchi scenes really pleasing to anime fans?

It`s like a trend amongst mangaka now even the big man behind One piece is using some sort of eye candy, it`s amazing how nami and robin`s boobs got bigger in the two years time lapse, I wonder what kind of training they went through.One piece is a great anime with a unique storyline and some amazing fighting scenes, no amount of ecchi will make it better than it is now.He should leave that to anime that hide their lack of originality behind ecchi, harem and incest.Fairy tail should be recategorize as a hentai, Mashima sensei is hurting this great story with his overdone ecchi and tasteless nude scenes. Then again I`m a girl I guess looking at giggling boobs or underwear POV is not as enjoyable to me as it is to the male audience.

I always liked male oriented anime, the very first anime I ever watched was saint seiya. I have been watching shonen anime ever since, the fighting scenes or the characters badass attitudes that`s what I like the most about shonen manga or anime. I can`t stand shoujo or any other sh*tty female oriented manga or anime, but with all the ecchi or harem we have these days, will shonen manga or anime still be the same?
Back in the Dragon Ball Z or Bleach days, there were barely any nudity in anime and honestly I miss those days.
