Agent Aika didn't try to pass for anything else but an action anime with lots of panty shots.

If next week is as bad, or worse, than this week, at least Kurumu was meant to be a moeblob. Moka, however, needs to invest in a longer skirt.

[kujoe]

...Kurumu is a moeblob?

[Midonin]

Maybe not the right word. But she's at least a little more fanservicey than Moka. The...assets and everything.

[kujoe]

Moka arguably has more moeblob traits than Kurumu, I think. For me, a moeblob is a character who is meant to be displayed on screen mainly because of her cuteness—a hodge podge of different moe elements such as clumsiness, cuteness, naivete and a sweet personality.

Kurumu in comparison, despite having her own moe points, is fanservice of a different sort.

[Midonin]

Ah, I see what you're saying.

i keep in seeing some Dragonaut bashing here (im actually a big fan) ..im not upset about it since everyone has thier own opion but what i do hate is people dragging a show through the dirt cause of "Fan service". Every anime has some degree of fan service... some more than others but to bring down a anime cause of a fan service is out rite silly.

Im not a big fan of harem shows but i do enjoy some like Seto no Hanayome, Love hina (which was my first harem show i watch) and hmm wat else...i guess this one too. I did notice the fan service are important for this harem show heance why i dont mind it that much. The so called panties shots in rosario are not even that bad.. oh no some white panties are showing not like we havent seen them before. i decide to give harem shows a shot this season so i download a new anime called H2O ~footprints In The Sand and

Spoiler for sneeze:

some blind dude sneeze while a girl sat on his face

now i see that more offensive and tastless than just pantie shots.

Well yeah, but it's not about it being offensive. I watched Green Green TV. If you can get through that, then you will be prepared for ANY kind of "offensive" fanservice. The real issue here, is that fanservice is slightly annoying when used excessively. What we're seeing in R+V isn't even typical fanservice. Fanservice, when done at its best, is situational and does not require the lead female character to devote half of her screentime to her backside. Being able to see Moka's panties when she is just standing around is more than overboard. One wonders why is she even wearing a skirt

I'd also like to point out, the first episode of H2O only has 2 instances of fanservice in its entirety. Now examine the fact that H2O comes from an eroge of the same title. All things considered, the amount of fanservice in H2O is looking pretty good to me.

[Kinku]

well its guess just me... but if a girl sits on ur face and ask not to sneeze and doesnt get up rite away make no sense to me.

I could see your point about the panti shots but as long she not shoving her privates into people face or showing them off to characters of the story i think its just fine. Im mostly trying to defend Dragonaut about the fan service but since this is R+V fourm i prefer not to discuss the pro and cons of Dragonaut.

[Sassarai]

Well didn't you do something you didn't want others to do to Boobynaut by bringing up H20? (I like Boobynauts btw)

I found that H20 sneezing scene to be funny and disgusting at the same time.

[the follower 89]

well i don't totally dislike fanservice, but the execive use of it is way too much, and i don't like it, the only reason i would whatch this is because i have read the manga and i like it not for the fanxervice, i think if the decrease it will be better for the show.
Atleast in the manga they respect moke a little bit, her panties are almost never shown, but in the anime you see her pantiews more than anything else, and i hate that.

[ktchmeifucan]

R+V is a quite ecchi , you may say A quite!! , yes a quite , i've read the manga and is outstanding , i been looking for this kind of series since a long time ago , sound's weird , but is the truth.

I preffer Macross f of course

[NoOneKnowS]

finally able to watched the first ep w/ subs. Lol at the part where Tsukunes father is drunk and accidentally picking up the "whatever that is" paper. The ep pretty much sums up the 1st chapter of the manga. I'd be like this fore a few Ep's more (monster of the week). It'll get more interesting after that.

[FlareKnight]

Well I'd guess Moka wears a skirt due to the school regulations, though agree it doesn't seem to be very effective at doing its job . Kurumu is definitely has her own unique traits compared to a moeblob. Though we can only imagine what the show will do with her character.

[bball_machine]

I can understand why we're discussing about the fanservice in this show. Occasional fanservice is okay, but in Rosario to Vampire, it's a bit too frequent. Do people think this is actually less appealing? It's like, you start to take it for granted, because it's always there.

Agent Aika is a terrible comparison. It's an OVA and everyone watch it knowing there will be boobs and panties with close to zero story. You can say that Aika is an exhibition of service. Rosario is a different story, chapter 1 of the manga almost had no fanservice and they managed to do all that in the premiere. It's like they cut off 5 inches of Moka's skirt on purpose.

[grey_moon]

Personally I like fan service, but it can go overboard. I couldn't even manage past 1 episode of Green Green (I made it to 3 just to make sure I wasn't prematurely ejecting it from my to watch list). What I really hate is when they sacrifice story line and butcher characters for the sake of fan service.

So far fan service level for me is not too bad.

It's fanservice for god's sake. If you can't take it, don't watch it. There's no such thing as fanservice being "tasteful" or whatever. You either tolerate girls showing off their panties in animes or not. Whether you feel it's done excessively, tastefully, etc is just your own opinion. The fact is that there are flashing of panties. Complain all you want, I only used Aika in response to the "excessive" complaints and not that I disagree with your opinions.

Also, as one who read all 10 volumes of the manga, my complaint is actually the LACK of fanservice in the manga. The author can't seem to make up his mind whether to put in fanservice or not the manga. There are a few panty shots in the manga but there are also a lot more scenes where there should have been panty shots (Moka and her high kicks) but the author for some reason decide to shade the exposed region Black. I mean Moka has been high kicking in your face for a gazillion times and I see black but when she does nothing I see panties? What the hell?

At least the anime producers decide to make up their mind and go all out with fanservice. Whether you like it or not is your own opinion. And it's free anime you're watching, so at least complain on something more substantial like plot.

Quoted for truth.

The problem though, is that I really want to like the show. When there are parts of a show I like, then I find it difficult being forced to chose not to watch it just because there are endless parade of panties inserted into the visuals for no reason. That is annoying and can overwhelm the show's positive attributes. Oh look, there's a girl on a bicycle who isn't sitting on her skirt just so she can show off her panties. Oh look, there's another one. Uck.

I'll feel really unhappy if I stop watching this show just because the panties are overwhelming.

[Phantasmagoria]

Lol, I believe there will be more when Kurumu comes into the picture. I would love to observe the kind of responses we will be getting here!
