Fan Service, Ya or Nay?

For years now, it's always been a debate.

Is Fan Service a decent thing to do with our favorite anime girls? Some will argue yes, other no, but in the long run, its all of us, even the ones against it that enjoy it. We,North Americans, have a fetish for humongous breasts. Face it. In today's society, it's all about bigger, better, stronger. We can derive that from the 90's porn industry and television market that brought us shows like Baywatch and many more.

The anime female characters were always well equipped. Think about Misato from NEON

GENESIS EVANGELION or Nina Purpleton from MSG 0083 : STARDUST MEMORY. We probably reached a brand new level with Gundam 00 (see the picture above if you're not familiar with the females from the show) or even Highschool Of The Dead. I can't say I didn't like those anime. In fact, they're part of the small category I can call my favorites. But do we give the wrong image of what we really like in anime with the whole Fan Service thingy?

Right now, Internet is flooded with porn. Yes, porn. An lately, I've seen more and more Hentai stuff popping....why? Because search engines classified them in the same bracket. and that's wrong!

Fan Service is a thing. Who doesn't like a cute girl in bikini or in underwear? We can see them all over the place in ads and even in buses. So it's the same thing, but as an anime! So why people

look at those with disgust?

Because they're so easily associated with Hentai! And what is Hentai? Hentai is porn!

So, with those stupid references, they all think that every guy and/or gal that watches anime is a freak and/or a god damned pervert. I don't think I'm a pervert! I probably watch porn as much as anybody you know, if not less!

I am for Fan Service. The manga and anime artists in Japan and all over the world are drawing wonderful creatures. Let's enjoy their work.
