What is male fan service?

Post by Rorschach » Mon Oct 25, 2004 12:09 am

I was just noticing a thread on how women view anime girls. What I'm curious about was the mention that female fan service (meaning the "accidental" or casual exposure of female flesh supposedly) has a male counter-part. Considering that where exposed flesh is concerned, there just isn't much to look at on guys, what exactly does this male fan service involve? Big pecs? Lots of muscles? A Scottish guy's kilt flying up? Do girls really go for this stuff?

Really, I'm not just being sarcastic here. What is male fan service?

Male fan service is what my latest video could have used more of (but I didn't have enough room).

Specifically, I failed to include this shot:

Observation: the people at J.C. Staff apparently need practice on drawing (detailed) shirtless males...

From what I've seen (I could be and likely am wrong on this) male fanservice usually means the guys are especially pretty and being ambiguously gay doesn't seem to hurt...

it's gotta be the guy all shirtless and sexified, or when it's like really romantic and the guy looks kinda feminine in a romantic scene and says shtuff that sounds like it was ripped out of a romance novel

I guess it depends on who you are talking to.
Some girls like the tough, shirtless guys with the male thongs.
Others like the bishonen who is ambiguosly gay.
Some like the romantics over candle light.

Males notice the female fan service and females notice the male fan service.
