    Not watching self promotion here…(Maybe that’s why you were ratio’d?) But I will say that too much fan service in a show can be distracting especially when a show is trying to be emotional or make a statement. It pulls me out of it a little bit. I liked Alya Speaks in Russian but the weird part with the hypnosis and stripping just was a little jarring especially with the subject matter from the other episodes. If you’re going to do fan service in a show like that it needs to be subtle like in Frienren or go all out like what Konosuba or “The Legendary Hero is Dead” did.

    Your anger bait generalization title, “click me to see if I’m wrong”, with “everybody” is very likely the reason why you’re getting down voted into oblivion.

      I don’t think it’s the amount but rather the context given the character development. If the character is always ecchi then it makes more sense. If you have a random sex scene then it doesn’t quite make sense. That’s true whether it’s anime or a romance novel. In fact anime is often compared to literature, as opposed to other visual media like television because of it’s advanced character development. I’ve got no problem with tons of fan service but I agree it has to be paired with good writing. I don’t find excessive amounts of Plot bad so much as badly written story and plot, now that’s cringe. So in essence I would disagree with the assertion that everyone hates fanservice but add the caveat that randomly throwing in a sex scene does not automatically improve things on its own either.
