Also, the analogies for this discussion are getting progressively more awkward. |

Anime fanservice tends to be lighthearted and kind of whimsical in nature. That clashes with scenes that have a more serious mood, imo. Quote:

This is why your cafe/Hawaii shirt guy analogy isn't applicable. You can turn away from the guy who wears that t-shirt and just focus on your your friend and/or your meal. When a big ass-shot happens, turning away from that means that you're ceasing to watch the show itself. I never said that fanservice is wrong. I was just saying that the term "guilty pleasure" isn't entirely without validity. Quote:

Fan service during action scenes are no problem for me nor do I see it a problem or a distraction. I do believe my mind is smart enough to catch a glimpse of the fan service which I can enjoy whilst staying focused on the actual action.
A lot of the times, action scenes are built up, and if not built up, then at least performed well enough to entertain. I'm not going to let a panty shot or some exposed cleavage tear my focus away from what I've been concentrating on this whole time, the characters interacting and plot heating up/reaching it's end. Sure i'll take a gleam at it and probably mention it in my comment about the episode but it's not like that's going to affect my opinion on the action itself =/ If we're talking about fan service that has more screen time than the actual action, then sure, it would kill the mood a lot. If we're talking about 5 minutes of action, then 2 seconds of a panty shot, followed by another 3 minutes of action, then I think people can at least tolerate that since it's the animators way of giving the people who do like fan service something instead of nothing at all. Just my opinion though

Anyway, it’s not an option anymore if the fanservice shots are shoved down your throat (or in this case, they slapped it in front of your screen). Trying to ignore it is like trying to ignore the giant robots in Gundam fights. You know how futile that can be. All that said, I already said in my earlier post that my opinion that I posted is for myself and not trying to force it to others.

(The analogy is a trap either way you do it because you've made the two mutually exclusive, just like the "porn" vs. "not porn" false-dichotomy that was contested in the first place. )

That's illogical, which is the exact point I'm trying to make. If you want ass shots and panties then your time will be better served in a show, or better yet genre, that caters to those particular interests. |

If I wanted to see a tokusatsu show, why not just watch one? There are plenty out there. And I do. But when a show uses tokusatsu elements (Nyarko takes the gold star in this category), comedically or not, it gives the series some additional meaning to me because it puts together two things I enjoy. Maybe the toku element isn't completely emphasized (like me having to deal with a romance plot that may attract other people, but isn't my primary attraction), but because it's there, it grabs my attention and makes the show something only it can be. This works for fanservice too. It can be in small amounts or large amounts, but it's a surprisingly flexible element that can be blended with a lot of things, and not just comedies. |

How many people who liked Strike Witches also liked Nanoha StrikerS? The core appeals of both shows are fairly similar, but one has less fanservice in action scenes than the other.

RE Baseball analogy: I think it's a bit weak. Let's go with round girls in a boxing match or buxom cheerleaders in a basketball game.
No comment on Strike Witches and Nanoha StrikerS because I did not either.

And one has WWII elements while another has mecha show elements mixed with a largely original set of powers and rules, and one is a sequel to an established property while the other isn't, and so on. Comparing any two shows only works so far. It eventually starts to look like a really blotty series of Venn diagrams.

Most of the fanservice fighting scenes in Vivdred so far imho are -Serious as in not "not important." -Fluffy -Fanservice While the situations are very important for the characters, the anime doesn't present them as "serious" (as in not fluffy). Quote:
Maybe if the story becomes epic good and you really want that part of it, I would see why you want it to be different so much, but as of now, we are 1 ep in, it's not too late to jump ship if you don't like what you see. I generally wait until ep3, but if I don't like the way a series is going, I'm not going to watch it, simple. Quote:
I think the context of the scenes and the series lends itself to fanservice including in fight scenes. I don't see the need for a break from fanservice just because they are fighting. Quote:

Back to the Hawaii shirt analogy. LB!'s fanservice is like a person in a Hawaii shirt walking past you. Vividred is like the person standing in line in front of you is wearing a Hawaii shirt. It's even more noticeable, but I'm still not distracted. Quote:
