Why I Hate Fan Service In Anime!

As anime fans, certainly, you will have come across the term fan service.

But what does it actually mean?

Well, fan service in anime refers to the sexualized depictions of anime characters to serve as entertainment for its audiences. Hence the term fan, as in viewers, and service, as in ‘entertainment’.

Fan service comes in many form.

These acts can range from the dominant male character flipping a female skirt, or a scene showcasing panties shots, or a combination of both.

Another famous example of fan service is fancy jiggling boobs physic.

Yep, they are simply too common.

Evolution of Fan Service In Anime

Fan service has its origins all the way from the classic era of anime in the 80s.

Some of the most mainstream forms of fan service are magical girls shows, featuring half-naked transformation scenes.

Since then, these similarly explicit scenes has been the norm for fan service within anime.
