Back in days of old in the late 80's up till the late 90's and i would even say some where in the 2000-2002 Fan service in anime was very very subtle. The most you would ever seen is a bit of upskirt, a bra flash or even the obligatory bikini beach scene in every harem anime episode or semi nude girl in the hot spring in the obligatory hot spring episode. It really did take a lot back then to get little boys and peverted men to get riled up. Minimum fan service from their favorite character and they had boners so hard it would take a ice pick to soften them. Nowadays with shows like "High school DXD", "Ikki Tousen"," High school of the dead" and with any Harem show nowadays the fan servies within those show are so overwhelming that other shows are starting to pick up on it and relying solely on it for its success. Prime example:The Bakemonogatari series. In the Original Bakemonogatri seires the fan service was subtle so subtle it was overlooked by the plot of the show. When Nekomonogatari came around the fan service was somewhat noticable but then again the plot out ruled it. Now that the second season of bakemonogatari is out and even though it 3 episode in i can tell its just using the fan service to make up for the the lack of the plot or the slowness of the plot. I really hate when shows have to rely on fanservices for that and that what 90% of anime that are coming out are doing granted i know that bakemonogatari is a exception because i know they can pull them self out of the hole somehow but others when they know their anime is going to suck they flash us with characters with huge breast or give us ass shot. Half of these anime might as well be full on hentai. "So i can't Play H" is a anime that might as well be a full on hentai. Today most of then industry feel that if their isn't any fanservice in their anime it won't do well and that isn't true. I miss the glory days when the fan service wasn't so "In you face". Where the fan service was a treat after a long dry spell of action, depression and clusterfuckery the that when you get the panties and the bras and if you were lucky the naked chick now it like"why by the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
I don't know I just feel like today's anime relies to much on fan service.
Do you think there is too much or too little of it in todays anime?
