I don’t get why everyone dislikes fanservice
unless it’s done well (I can’t think of an example at the moment), I dislike it because it’s either pointless padding, actively undermines the character development, or is wildly inappropriate
Exactly. Story wise, it’s just filler. And it gets old very fast.
Ironic that the manga displayed here has a rabid CP lover fanbase.
The heavier they go into the fan service the less I care about a character. Doesn’t matter how deep or interesting they are. It’s like a complete inverse. The more of one the less of the other. I’m not talking about interested in a sexual way either. I mean I simply stop caring about the character in general and when they are on screen I actively loose interest in watching the show. I want well designed characters thay have personality and plot points.
Fan service sucks. Can’t even watch Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex without gratuitous close-ups on the main character’s ass. Kinda takes me out of it.
