ANN tried to address why there isn't fanservice in the new Ranma 1/2 show and failed miserably.
- matrix07012 :thotpatrol: :cunnyEmpire: repeated this.

"5.) “Global” means global. It's easier when remaking a show to excise those parts of the original that often ended up cut or edited for local broadcast standards. A quick question for you. Did the original U.S. television broadcast include these scenes, or were they edited out? And! Did you watch Rama 1/2 on the telly-box or years later via file sharing or streaming? This may influence your personal view on whether or not fan service is important to this series or not and finally…"
Again, westerners ruined again but this excuse is flimsy at best and disingenuous at worst.

"5.) Butt cracks, boobies, and panty-shots aren't necessarily considered essential to the overall narrative and character development of any anime series. Regardless of whether fan service is an important part of the overall entertainment some viewers get from the anime they choose to enjoy, it's hard to argue that it contributes anything substantial to the story."
OK, this is bullshit and should be called off. People who tries to downplay eroticism and nudity as fanservice are morons. Anime is a visual medium where we can expand the boundaries of what is attractive or not, and if the story relates to genderswap, coming of age or if you want to go there, even about the trans experience, removing the body parts and taming the "sexiness" does a disservice to the show and the story. It's like pretending Barbie's body is anatomically accurate.
I can argue that the availability of butt cracks and boobies is part of what makes Anime great in the first place. Not all Anime needed it but it's there for a reason. If the cultural progress that we have achieved demands that there should be less of it, then I should I say we moved into a sex negative world where Puritans have won. And that's not really a creative environment we should tolerate.

"3.) A lot more women and girls watch anime these days. I would like to think that most anime creators welcome this development and want to make programming that is as attractive to this growing segment of the audience as it is to the male segment;"
If only you know that women can be as horny and deviant as any other men. That's true equality.

"4.) As anime becomes more accessible and more popular around the world, the average age of anime audiences continues to fall, with some surveys claiming that as much as half the audience is aged between 10-18. It is understandable, then, that some shows created for mass appeal globally may tone down or remove fan service entirely;"

"1.) Global anime audiences have moved on from traditional anime fan service. The audience mix is younger and more diverse both gender-wise, culturally, and ethnically than ever before, and with that comes different perspectives and standards as well as expectations. In 1989, anime creators wanted to make a hit anime that as many people as possible would enjoy, but that prism of success was very local and very specific: Japanese audiences watching the early evening anime slot on FujiTV (one of the original co-producers);"
Westerners ruined Anime, again.

"2.) The global audience for strong female leads in a long-running anime series no longer sees fan services as a necessary ingredient in their enjoyment of the aforementioned program. Fan service is a niche interest for a small segment of the audience and a mild distraction for the majority of the audience at best;"
