Gratuitous panty shots and crotch shots in MF Ghost S2…
From just one episode picked at random:
I can picture the female characters saying “Hey, my face is up here” to the cameraman.
Why is anime often so incredibly sexualised?
Japanese culture is different from Western Judeo-Christian-origin cultures.
It’s more liberal in some ways, more conservative in others.
This. I’m not surprised if the Japanese look at Hollywood movies and think why are American movies so incredibly violent?
Because it’s target audience is teenage boys
If you think that’s bad, you should check out the stuff targeted at girls.
Anime is much closer to a medium than a specific genre.
Of what I’ve watched, it’s Dandadan and Frieren. If I have to pick a best one, it’s the latter. Its fanservice is so subtle you won’t notice if you are not aware.
There’s the one boob envy scene, and that’s all I noticed.
I love how no one has said anything about Dandadan, because, of course it’s Dandadan. If there’s anything Dandadan is most definitely not, it’s subtle.
Fun show, though, except when it chooses to traumatize the viewer for no apparent reason.
Übel.
Ubel’s armpits shots were fantastic.
Frieren looks like it was directed by Quentin Tarantino, at times.
So many feet shots!
(Also, as others have mentioned, Übel’s armpits; but, mostly, feet.)
Feeteren
I think the OP thumbnail is the one that least suffered going from manga to anime, sadly anime is getting too censored even for Japan’s late night tv, 2.5D seduction was a fumble according to my friend that reads it.
So unless it airs on cable or something like Ishizoku Reviewers we get stuff like Ayakashi Triangle and the Ranma 1/2 remake.
