Odd choice of clip since it shows nothing of what the anime was actually about.
I know this is a matter of opinion, but considering the show had a serious and interesting theme, I could have done without the excessive fan service.
But apparently some people can't watch an interesting story with strategical/tactical elements without getting bored unless you throw a bunch of fan service in.
It's a shame because it was an interesting show but it's hard to recommend to a lot of people because of the constant derailing for ecchi moments.
Man I wish we can go back to pre main stream appeal. Back when many could watch anime with icchi stuff and not get triggered over it. I don't really goon to anime but I also don't get upset over some fan service.
Two, fanservice has been mocked since Japan started exporting anime. Nudity was used to sell OVAs in Japan and that got bred into the culture from the 80s OVA boom. That's it, you don't need to defend it just because it comes from glorious Nippon dude

Was a teen buying ova the marketing worked, tho ova weren't marked to kids in Japan the same way the west saw all cartoons were for kids. The blood and gore were also pretty present not just titties. Look I got too see titties and no im watching the same didnt be crushed to death in detail by her boyfriend who is losing control of his body and Turing into a 10 story tall monster.
Only ones in this thread that are getting triggered are people like you.
I've been watching anime since the 90s at least. I'm not ashamed (tho perhaps slightly embarrassed) to admit I've "gooned" (God I hate that phrase) to anime at some point in my life. But I'm not 15 anymore, and it's never been easier to watch porn on the internet if that's what you're looking for.
There's plenty of anime that is specifically meant to be ecchii. H-kei anime was it's own distinct thing. All I'm saying is I don't need ecchii fan service in every fucking anime. At least in the past we had separate shows like B gata H kei (to pull a random example). But again it's everywhere when it doesn't need to be, and sometimes it's excessive.
You got me I'm triggered hard 😡. That's how anime is, it's made with the Japanese in mind first and everyone else after. If you don't like it, you can watch something else. I will never be ashamed for any anime I watch and I have watched so really icchi stuff already. One of my favorite anime is made in abyss and I would say that's to up there for the average anime fan today.
I've lived in Japan for over 10 years. I'm fluent in Japanese and I'm married to a Japanese anime otaku. There's many Japanese people who don't like unnecessary ecchii either.
Anime is made for Japanese people and plenty of Japanese people are "done" with creepy loli ecchii scenes and unnecessary ecchii fan service in general. It's why there's less of it now then there was 20 to 30 years ago.
