Obligitory Animes Thread

If it gives me a boner, I call it fanservice. However, I'm picky and I'll leave it at that.

FANSERVICE isn't anything nudity related at all, it's anything put in to appease the fans. My opinion on it has nothing to do with the fact they're naked, only to appeal to the fans of each show, because it does.

I swear these days there are more UNCENSORED anime spawning, I don't even watch them, I only see the pics from sankakucomplex website, I watch hentai now and read more manga these days, It's just dry....I'm picking up One Piece and other ONGOING series that actually have MEANING!

Your description is different from the colloquial meaning of the word, which is pleasing or enjoyable in nature. By the literal meaning of the word just about anything featured in a work of fiction is service done for the fans, outside of anything created by George Lucas after 1990. The sex that takes place in Berserk during and after the Eclipse is 100 percent brutal and horrific, possibly the direct opposite of "fanservice," as we have come to know it.

Only the the character that it's being done too. It's nature only adds another brutal level of honesty to the show that pleases fans. Just another reason why Berserk is so famous/
