"Fan Service" what is this.. sorry I'm new
.
Can someone email me with a tiny description of what exactly is meant by this
term. I read it a lot in respones and it's getting the better of me.
Any other terms I should be aware?
Thank much!!

Okay, I know a million people are going to say the same things, but fan
service means serving the perverted tastes of fans. Clevage, bouncy
chests, panties, panty shots, bathing suits, showers and towels, and of
course naked girls. Well, it also includes basically anything sexual as
well, although sex scenes and the like aren't "fan service", strictly
speaking, it has to be gratutious, and not part of the main point of the
story.
Anyway, you know what it is when you and your friends go: " WOOHOO! "

Fan-service is when the female Ranma loses his shirt or when a panty
is revelaed.

It usually means "unnecessary nude scenes (or panty shots etc)"
here in raam. Sometimes an entire episode can be sort of fan
service (eg, "Girls Squadron In The Snow Country" for Airbats).
BTW, it is not an anime-specific word and rally means is
"unnecessary things/act/etc just to please (appease) fans".
So, to me, things like "Tuxedo-power Make-Up!" in SMoon and
the costume-plays by Saber Dolls in SM-J are "fan service", too.

An euphemism for "gratuitous scene", since it's there
"as a service to the fans". Example:
- Cute girl gets a new outfit, and they do a slow panning shot
from the feet to the head. Extra points if said outfit is
sexier than her usual clothes.
- The mecha does a really cool pose for no
discernible reason after beating off an enemy.

Just to clarify, fan service does not necessarily have to do with
anything sexual... it just usually does. ^_~
Basically, it's throwing in something 'cool' that the usual, or
majority of, fans of the series/movie/whatever will enjoy, even though
it serves no actual purpose to the story. Usually, yes, this is
sex-based, like random cleavage/breast/panty/sex shots. Some other
examples would be, in anime, gratuitous use of mecha, gratuitous
massive explosions and other things that make loud noises (^_^), and,
well... pretty much anything gratuitous, you see, that will make
people, as E Ross puts it, go "Woohoo!"
Sometimes an entire movie or a whole series, such as a spin-off from
a popular series, can in itself be completely fan service. And I will
refrain from naming any particular ones I may have in mind here...
The point is, it'll be cool, but it won't be necessary. In fact, it
may even retract from the enjoyment for some people who are
disappointed with such an obvious ploy. Usually, it's overdone and
quite obvious, too. Fan service is not meant to be subtle.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that it's necessarily serving the "perverted
tastes of fans." It's meant to please male viewers by having gratuitous
displays of the female body, which is something most guys like a lot
anyways (the female body, that is).
However, a lot of people don't appreciate the gratuitousness of it. I
think you would be more right in saying that "fan service means serving
the perverted fans."

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of Nihao my Concubine and

To hell with that when you have....GENREI ROBO!!!!
Actuallt the spooky part was in the bathroom when Ko-Enshaku was using
the bathroom. Yikes!
Earlier I said it was a series since I was under the impression that
there were more tapes beyond the two I had see. Were they numbered
funny or something because I was sure it ran for several more episodes
beyond that.

Uhmm... I don't see anyone mentioning that girls get their fan service, too.
Several scenes in 'Saint Seiya' come to mind, as well as 'Bastard!' And don't

What happened in ep. 8? I can't remember.
Besides, a problem with some fan-service seems (to me, at least) to be a

A few days ago I got in 37-44. Lot's and lot's of hard-core female
fan-service.
Hey...what are YOU doing watching subs?
FY is an example of an anime you'll never see dubbed. Definitely to
long (can we tie that in with the dub-liker's attention span?) That's
a good thing for some anime that would be an insult to dub, like LoGH.

Last I checked ADV already had the rights and plans to start releasing by
the end of the year. And, judging from their current policy, it'll be both
subbed and dubbed.
As to dub-liker's attention spans... Ranma seems fairly popular, and It's
had well over 50 episodes DUBBED.

That doesn't say much about a guy's personality and character if people

The primary reason wasn't the fan service. The primary reason was: while I
certainly appreciated the performance of the writers, animators, musicians,
and seiyuu (after all, Touma Yumi is one of my favourite seiyuu, though my
most favourite (female) seiyuu is, as evident in my sig, Tsuru Hiromi), FY
wasn't "my type of story." Too, I liked the artwork and BGMs in Hanayori
Dango, but I lost interest in its story after Ep 8. OTOH, it's more probable
that I'll watch more Hanayori Dango than FY. I may begin to regret I didn't
watch more Rayearth when I could.

The vast majority of posts I make are not offensive towards anyone.
It's just seems that way since the only threads usually worth
responding too in RAAM require people to take sides on an issue. And
as far as that goes, I have never called anyone a 'moron' or issued
any other plain slur. The worst I can be accused of is indirect
attacks on attention spans and reading abilities.
And I like to think of it as not being offensive but rather having
character :)

Mark, none of your attacks are "indirect" and calling someone "dyslexic"
is very much a slur. Against the person and dyslexics.
And there's no problem with taking sides... But if you are going to attack
a viewpoint, attack a viewpoint, not the person who has that viewpoint.
Also, you need to understand that different people have different tastes.
Not everyone likes things as Mark David does.

Sure. Character can be defined as personality. Which does not need to
offend anyone. I'm sorry you seem to think so.

Well, AFAIK Japanese girls care for bishounen just as much if not more than for
studs... I heard in a Newtype survey Shinji did pretty well.

Shinji... is not quite fan service material ^_^
More like the GWing boys, or maybe that shower seen in Gatchaman
'94... that's nice ^^

Newtype's readership is mostly male science fiction anime fans. Those
who respond to the monthly poll even more so. Therefore, even the
Gundam X characters did quite well despite the show crashing into
early retirement in the ratings.
Shinji is not a bishounen. Mitsuru and Shinobu are bishounen.

How about some good beshounen fan-service? I always wondered how
female fans felt about that sort of thig.

A sound was heard, drifting upon the winds, that nestled in my furred,
wolven ears. Arnold Kim <arn...@umich.edu> had spoken such sounds, and
what I perceived of them was thus:

_Someone's_ gotta find him cute. ^_^ Or cool. Gratuitous shots of a
cool guy will work (doesn't always have to be sex, I say). Maybe
somebody should run Shinji through Scott's test. ^_^

Don't forget judging others and not listening to valid argument, too.
