Just the characters dressing in silly costume and having a Formula One race with ox drawn carts. Or the latest episode of Uta Koi, which was also a load of fanservice. Things like the Nunnally in Wonderland Geass spinoff, although that had plenty of fanservice of the tits variety too. Fanservice is something that is completely irrelevant to the story and is just something for the fans to enjoy. You might as well try take the robots out of the show, they’re as relevant as the tits. It might make you sound like the world’s biggest weeaboo who eats a diet of pocky and sushi, uses the word ‘kawaii’ unironically and has huge folders of anime porn because the women in real porn “don’t look like real women”, failing to see the huge irony in that statement.Įcchi does nicely encapsulate what these kinds of shows are though. The word ‘ecchi’ appears to have fallen out of general usage, which is a shame. There really has to be a better term for that. I don’t feel calling this episode all ‘fanservice’ is strictly correct, since tits are as important to Muv Luv as racism.
What I wasn’t expecting to be forced to write about was a fucking beach episode. The use of Japanese lore and traditional values in a post-apocalyptic setting. The race relations, international diplomacy and cultural contrasts. When I confidently strode in and ripped Muv Luv from Shinmaru’s pleading grasp, I was all pumped up to write an in-depth analysis about the latest episode.
