times where too much fan service messed up a otherwise great anime

[Riot3000]

I have never heard of an anime ruined by fanservice. I can't even think of one I mean Code Geass I guess but it so few adn far between that I would not say it was ruined.

High School of the Dead was not ruined by fan service it knew what it was and let you know in the beginning it was going to be a soulless baseless b movie grind house circus of slaughter and depravity and you were going to love it or not so it was in no way ruined by the fanservice.

I say that stuff is just cheese cake I hate how fanservice has only now been narrowed to panty shots when it is actually a pretty wide category. Also are we talking like beach episodes and panty shots I would say that is fanservice but Ghost in the Shell and Elfen Leid I would not call fanservice that is just nudity because nudity in my book.

So now I can not say I know of a series ruined by fanservice I am just not wound tight enough to see any thing major.

The only bad fanservie I can think of Eiken and that is just so bad is good to watch to see how bad it is.

Dragonball Z, I mean come on, it seems like every character is either in skin tight clothing or sleeveless with their bulging abs protruding through their shirt necks.

Don't get me started on all the orgasmic onomatopoeia and the way their shirts all inexplicably tear off once they start fighting.


Hell, even the 13 year old character is forced to go partially topless. Disgusting.

And the fact that everyone collectively jizzes whenever something big happens:

OT: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

The Pillar Men are the most fabulous of villains. I guess women love this stuff, I just find it both funny and odd. I don't think it really messes up the anime though, I just thought I'd put it out there. I fuckin love JJBA

Very good points about DBZ I know my cousins like DBZ just to see all the ripped shirts.

And JoJo just no fucks to give you can't even complain about Jojo becasue the scene where a character peeks at a women in the tub is blip on the radar to those FABULOUS poses. God Bless that series.

I noticed that Stardust Crusaders doesn't have a lot of manly posing going on... what is happening!? D:

Fairly sure Kodomo no Jikan sweeps the field. It's a great story with a seriously unfortunate section of the fanbase, but the occasional fanservice tends to lead to people writing it off as nothing but pedophilic pandering.

I'll second you on Kodomo no Jikan. Literally, whether you think it's a great, well written story or "lol pedoshit" (as the head of TVTropes declared it before demanding it be cleansed from the site) ultimately boils down to your tolerance for certain varieties of fanservice and the general concept of the plot. I will say this though, it's probably the only manga I've ever seen get less creepy as it gets more loli.

The anime only covers a tiny bit of the story before it was cancelled, and they did that thing where they censored stuff that didn't need to be censored to make it seem worse than it was.

"I'm glad that I didn't do it." <-- That line, after an otherwise warm and fuzzy scene where a female teacher gives a girl advice on how to get someone to like you, without the context in place seems weird. In context, the entire scene including that line is wrong and creepy and awful.

After that, I tried to destroy all sense of sexual desire in me(leading to depression) and now I'm trying to find a way to like fanservice while still being more analytical with characters. One example was my experience with "My Mental Choices are Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy" or "Noucome". The show has a lot of funny moments, a protagonist that actually isn't a douche, and some heartwarming moments, but the fanservice just kept making me smack my head and going "what the earth" (the censoring didn't help, it made situations seem worse than there were) and I can't come to a conclusion about it.

I've seen "My Mental Choices are Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy." Sweet chaos is the source of the unavoidable choices both an asshole and a perv. So is the main character's teacher who looks like a loli (and comments on that fact a couple of times, and was a former victim of the same curse). Of course, once you realize how he's supposed to break the curse, the choices make slightly more sense in context (it's possible to see how following them enthusiastically regardless of how insane they were could have got him there quicker), but yeah...

I know while I am enjoying stardust crusaders for its zany fights and very interesting villains and references the poses have been too few and far between but I still have some ways to go so it might hopefully get jacked up to 11 again.
