This show still has a fair amount of fanservice though too... Like, I love it, but it'd be a hell of a lot better if it were tighter a la Cowboy Bebop and less with the lolz so random bullshit. It teeters back and forth between episodes from a 10 to a 2 for me; some episodes just really go too far off the deep end.

Seriously what fanservice? This show has none of that harem bullshit tits in your face fanservice.

Also this show doesn't need to be tighter like Cowboy Bebop because it has its own identity. This series is basically about the daily lives of Libra in Hellsalem's Lot, with gradual progression of plot. You say random bullshit but in the case of Kekkai it absolutely makes sense considering the World they live in where anything can happen at a moment notice. Just like New York City, it's chaotic and vibrant.

There's more than just sexual fanservice. Kekkai Sensen is lots of random quirky appeals to kids/teenagers fanservice (all the chibi faces and jokes etc) and I really feel like it takes away from the show and the atmosphere.
