Not sex humor, no, just generic fanservice humor. You know the kind: "oops, I fell onto this girl's breasts and then she slapped me across the city!" "lolol us teen boys are gonna peep on our female friends/classmates at the hot spring!" or the "I'm a girl who just lost her clothes and I'm so distressed and embarassed as the camera lingers on my body!"

Like, I'm not anti-fanservice, I'm just tired of these tropes because it's always exactly the same, like it feels they're included out of obligation more than anything. Like, if you're gonna do the hot springs trope, do something interesting with it. Don't just reuse the same joke for the 18369th time. Or alternatively, just don't do it in the first place. Looking at you, Persona.

So it irks me when I get rec'd a new anime and these tropes rear their ugly heads. It makes me roll my eyes.

More original fanservice please. And more girls owning their sexuality instead of being meek/distressed about it. The latter just makes me feel sorry for them.

Yes, I know this is Wendy's, thanks for letting me vent, cashier.

tl;dr: Fire Force kinda sucks

There are very few anime comedies that vibe with me. Oddly enough, Hajime no Ippo a boxing anime has my favorite humor.

It's very boys lockerroom type stuff that feels authentic. Whether they're calling out Ippo'a giant hog, tricking a friend into eating a giant bug, or when a series of lies results in them thinking one of them is a pedo and calling the cops on him. It's all pretty legit funny and reminds me of dumb shit we did to eachother in hs

Honestly, I think I outgrew it my teen years. Keep in mind though that I'm the type of person that despises Dragon Ball Super Goku's personality. Same with Asta from Black Clover and Sora in KH3. I don't find them humorous either.

I've never outgrown it... One of my favorite Manga is Monster Musume... Which is nothing but fanservice... Especially anything involving lactation... I swear Okayado figures out how to include it in every volume somehow...

That's not to say I don't like other non-fanservice stuff either... I'd probably say my other favorite Manga are Delicious in Dungeon or Helck and those don't have fanservice...

Am I reading the same topic? It seems like most people in this topic are saying that type of humor is cringe and dumb. Im one of those personally and its the reason why im selective with the anime i watch.

Only like two people are in support of it, one of those being the TC and even they are saying they're tired of the same old stuff.

EDIT: Okay it's more like 4 people but my point still stands, it's not really unanimous in here

Modern anime fanservice is such low brow swill, and I especially hate the horny lecherous bastard MC types that seem to be mainstream these days and get praise from internet dumbasses for being "original" and "subversive" despite being everywhere now. You know, cum brain idiots like the main guy from High School DXD.

Japanese humor in general is pretty bad tbh. A lot of it boils down to one person saying or doing something silly and then another person directly pointing out how something silly was done.

I read some absolute garbage just to waste time, but I dropped Fire Force halfway through the manga and don't even remember why. I do remember it got overly predictable and derivative of other series.

Kill la Kill is parody. It's deliberately over the top and making fun of those tropes.

Or alternatively, just don't do it in the first place. Looking at you, Persona.

Persona 4's hot spring scene pissed me off because they give an option that's gated behind a skill check, but even if you had the requisite skill level the result is the same as if you hadn't. >_>

It can get old pretty fast. Well, I fully admit I like stuff like Monster Musume and I'll always have a soft spot for To Love Ru (Which has accidental perv moments that defy the laws of physics), but that's because the premise itself is interesting. Or things are just absolutely absurd to the point of ridiculousness.

That being said, there's gotta be limits. Not every show needs fanservice, and a lot of the usual humor is honestly more annoying than anything else.

The character who's entire personality is "horny" only brings a series down. Yes, including the grandfathered ones. Peaking on girls in the hotsprings is a trope that should have died after Love Hina ended, and some other tropes stopped being funny and started (Well, "started") being creepy as hell.

Tbh, I've been finding myself less and less tolerant of it recently

Some of my favorite shows (including Kill la Kill and FLCL, since they were already brought up) have lots of fanservice but some shows recently have been turning me off

For example, I was willing to give Dandadan the benefit of the doubt that it was just a quick (albeit gross) way to pop Momo's Bankai in Episode 1... and then it happened again. And again.

Hahari in 100 GFs is another example, she might honestly be, like, third in my least favorite anime characters of all time, she's such a bad character, she drags down other characters by association because I know that she is commonly featured with them

U right. Those tropes get really old fast. No issue with fanservice or sex at all in anime, but those gag's have been running since 90s. I'd also like to get rid of the herbivore MC who freaks out at the sight of anything remotely sexual. Also, "he got a GF so every male character hates him, because they don't".

The trope I'm tired of is

Oh look, two characters with feelings who have been dancing around it for dozens of episodes are finally about to have an innocent moment of affection together...

Oop there comes the comedy character lumbering in to interrupt, and now we're right back to spinning our wheels again.

Sigh.

The worst is when it's basically and/or borderline sexual assault but the anime/manga series just keeps treating it like it's a "tee hee" type of joke so the character gets to keep doing it over and over again.

This happens significantly less if you move on from series aimed at teenage boys. Whenever anyone complains about this kind of thing, 90% of the time its for a battle shonen that theyre not the intended demographic for.

Pretty much this. Anime like these are generally for kids, and as such don't try too hard, so they're packed with these old tropes.

Honestly, didn't like Pluto. The story was just kind of a tired trope as well. I give it a pass as it is an older story, so it was probably much less tired during it's time.

Really? I'm struggling to think of any fanservice humor in Dandadan.

Even in the bit where they're all naked, the humor is more about how awkward they all are about being naked than fanservice.

I wouldn't say it's meant to be funny (at least I sure hope not) but all the scenes with the aliens trying to assault Momo

I guess you can argue if it was supposed to be fanservice there either but it was a sexually charged aspect so I thought it was worth mentioning

FWIW, after where the first season ends off the series is relatively clean from that stuff (there might be one more weird scene I remember, but definitely not nearly as prominent as it is in the first couple of arcs). After that it's a pretty wholesome series, outside some of the backstories being pretty heavy.

*WARNING* Light Spoiling

There's only one scene where the aliens "assault" Momo. The rest of the time the aliens are trying to capture Okarun to acquire his "banana". The story mostly follows the pair's quest to recover Okarun's literal manhood. The anime seems to be steeped in sexuality and nudity of both sexes, though Okarun is definitely the whipping boy.

This show has an episode where a guy is trying to recover his penis from aliens?

I may have to give Dandadan a shot after all.
