Has anyone else here never gotten into anime?

So I think it is called "fan service" because it is probably like this: Hey do you like Bulma? If so, hey fans, here is a shot of her panties.

So it is basically just a way to corrupt the audience, and a cheap way to get some people to watch.

A lot of anime is designed for teens and adults, and I have also read that Japan has more relaxed standards for what kids watch.

That is just my explanation, since you asked.

Again, with corruption and immorality. I'm no fan of the fan service, that's for sure, and I'm very picky about which animes I watch (cos 95% are trash according to my probably equally trashy standards), but seriously... If anyone is corrupted by cartoon panties*, they were already mentally ill to begin with.

* "corrupted" in this case refers to them basically going on a raping spree, not fapping over it, which obviously is more than okay. Hey, whatever, I don't judge.
