You should probably stop wearing wool socks on the carpet, then. Smiley: tongue

But seriously, what's the series like? Serious, silly, a vehicle purely driven by fanservice?

I only saw one episode, it was kinda silly. I haven't given it a rating yet, but it's pretty meh for me right now.

Oh, I'm expecting a ton of fan service. I mean c'mon, an all-female version of feudal Japan, for "no" reason?

Well, Oda Nobunaga has a "*****" for the main character, and there's a talking dog.

Well, after two episodes, I give it a 5/10.
I'm not expecting anything, really. Plot is gonna be about Oda collecting armor pieces for teh fabled Crimson Armor.

I like the OP/ED songs at least.


Oh, and it's not overly filled with fanservice, yet.

Sankaku's reviews have shown it to be nothing but fan service in the coming episodes. I take anything Artefact says with a grain of salt, but the screenshots speak for themselves. I won't be watching it myself, one series of mindless dribble per season is plenty for me.

Hidan no Aria. And I'm not even sure I'll be taking that one to the end either.

Quote:

Gratuitous display of characters in skimpy clothing, or none at all, under the assumption that it will attract or "reward" viewers. The character is usually female. Fanservice of male characters also happens; but not as often.

This is not just a fan term, but one used during the production of, and even in the dialogue of, various shows. For example, the end-of-episode previews during the early part of Neon Genesis Evangelion frequently promise "more fanservice." although it never seems to deliver quite as much as it promises.

While the specific term "fanservice" arose from the Anime community, the concept of adding a little titillation to a work is far, far older. When nudity or sexual content is an expected part of a work, it's not Fanservice; it's only when the nudity or sex is thrown in "just because" that Fanservice becomes a part of the narrative. For example, nudity in a pornographic movie would not qualify, while Sharon Stone's infamous "beaver shot" in Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct would. Real Fanservice is seldom explicit or graphic — that is the territory of pornography. Instead it is primarily there to "add a little extra" by teasing and titillating the audience.
