This is the main thing about anime that I dislike. I don't mind fanservice in general, but it really feels out of place in
certain animes. Certain animes have fairly serious and interesting plots to them and/or work perfectly fine without fanservice, so I dislike it being added in beyond a few comedic relief scenes. It feels really forced when used a lot, and an unwanted distraction or breaking of the mood.
Just to be clear, I don't mind
Ikkitousen. And I don't mind
K-On! Those animes are really upfront about what they are (ecchi and moe respectively). And there's definitely a place for animes like them.
But a few times in the past year I've started watching an anime that I thought would be a pretty serious straightforward story and it gets bogged down in excessive fanservice. It's like going in to a movie expecting
Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and ending up watching
Kiddy Girl-And.
