Does fanservice bother you?


And when I say fanservice, I'm referring to things such as gratuitous panty shots and unnatural breast physics (which seems to get more and more outrageous -- look no further than Konosuba for a recent example). I'm curious to get some opinions. I've seen some people commenting on the overabundance of it in anime these days.

Personally, I really don't care if the show itself is good and the characters a) are self-aware of how silly the situations are (again, Konosuba is a good example of this), and/or b) the writing is strong enough to make the characters fully three-dimensional to the point where the fanservice is something that is entirely secondary.

Chances are, if the characters and the writing aren't good, I'm not going to keep watching it anyway, so overall, it doesn't affect me much. I will say that it does seem out of place in a lot of shows, though, and it's not a necessary thing.

It doesn't bother me, but seems like the animes that attract me don't have much or any in it.
