What are your favorite fan service moments/series?

Post by bobbarker31 » Tue Dec 21, 2004 8:24 pm

Yes, this might be an odd request, but I have heard people talking about fan service for some time here. Just wondered what people's favorite moments of fan service, what series and which characters?

I guess I will start. One that stands out in my mind is Faye Valentine just before she gets away from Vincent in the Cowboy Bebop movie. She defys gravity several times in those scenes! :wink:

Another would Ms. Kei Yuki from the Captain Herlock series. The latest OVA opened up with her in a bath tub :shock: :D

There are plenty of others, but those were the ones in my mind right now.

This is a crazy topic that someone with alot of self confidence would make. I'm not posting anything but this is a somewhat "interesting" topic that I'm surprised no one has replied to.

I know people have seen this topic and something immediately goes to their mind with the subject. Whether it is Touga and Sionji all over Akio's car in Revolutionary Girl Utena or the always promised fan service in the next episode previews by Misato in Neon Genesis Evangelion. :wink:

:D It is something that people think about. :P It is something that everyone has at least one instance in their mind when they hear the topic. I am surprised too that no one else has posted to this.

Now... is this limited to sexual-fanservice, or any fanservice that gets my...blood boiling? ;p

Rurouni Kenshin

-During the fight with Saitoh, when Kenshin's hair springs free and he does that slow, double-shadowed walk with his glowing amber eyes. That is just damn hot. o_o

-Pre-Kyoto arc, right after Katsu makes his appearance. When Sano leaves after the party and Kenshin is pretending to sleep - you get that slow shot of his eyes and his expression and then the wind fluffs his hair (where did that wind come from? Who cares). ;p Blatant fanservice, and very yummy.

-The ending (?or opening?) of the Kyoto arc, the almost ghostlike movements of both Sano and Kenshin with that woodsy background. Their expressions and the ultra-artsy (aka effeminate) way they're drawn there is just delicious. My mother actually admitted that Sano was sexy when she saw that, and she's a firm believer that animated characters can't be sexy. :P

Prince of Tennis

-In the first big match between schools, when Fuji opens his eyes for the first time - that entire match is excellent. He goes from softly smiling 'strange one' to 'oh wow he's hot' in a matter of seconds.

-Right after Ryoma gets his Segaku uniform, when he swings the jacket on and they slow-motion the scene to drag it out. The fanservice is so thick I could drown on it, but it's still fun (cute, rather than hot).

Saiyuki

-Demon Goku; any of the scenes where he loses his limiter and turns gorgeous. I think every one of those scenes - fights or not - are laden in fanservicy shots. But it's his only chance to go from comic relief to sex icon, so I don't blame them. ^_^;

-The first opening sequence is just full of fanservice scenes, all those half naked bishies lounging around looking vulnerable...it's a wonder guys actually watch the series. :lol:

-Almost any scene or episode that revolves around Gojyo, he seems to get the most sexy male shots in the anime. Second only to Sanzo, who ends up with at least one vulnerable uke shot per episode (don't care for that myself, but I appreciate the fanservice for what it is).

Yu Yu Hakusho

-During the Makai arc when Kurama is having his private meeting with Yomi and the assassin, he gets that cold (emotionally) but evily hot expression after Yomi walks past him and it shifts into the double-shot of him and his past Youko form. The entire scene is just yummy, but Kurama is especially gorgeous in that episode - he's still effeminately drawn, but he has a lot more masculinity than he usually does in his human form. Gotta love that.

-During the long movie when Kurama strips and does his moonlight bathing scene. Heh...that's a given. One look at him without those pretty clothes and no one would mistake him for a girl. :twisted:

-During the Dark Tournament Karasu vs Kurma fight, when Youko Kurama does the 'bang' movement and grins at the camera. Blatant fanservice scene, but very much appreciated. ^_^

-In the Pre-Sensui arc when Hiei finally shows up again and has his little showdown with Yusuke. His expression during that entire part is great, but afterward when he's licking his bloody arm he has the cutest little tongue. Yes, I know I'm psychotic, but yummm.... :oops:

-In the Sensui arc when the guys are following Sensui into Makai and Youko Kurama tests out the barrier by touching it. Everything from the way his hair and tail fly back, to him lapping his burnt fingers - it's all good. 8-)

-In the Dark Tournament 'first match' between Hiei and the quickly-dead fire guy (whose name I can never remember), when Hiei rips his shirt off. That's as blatant as the Youko 'bang' scene when it comes to fanservice. :wink:

-In the Sensui arc when Yusuke first takes on Raizen's energy and shifts (not the recap of that scene from the beginning of the next episode, I mean the original footage of his transformation). Majin Yusuke's expression when he looks up, his grin, and that hair - it was the first time in the anime that I realized Yusuke was hot. ^_^;

-At the end of the Sensui arc when the Rekai team tries to arrest Yusuke and he turns and threatens them with a display of his energy. I think it's the glowing eyes that really get me there, though the half naked body and that hair help, too. I mean it, if he'd looked like that from the beginning, I'd have favored him over Kurama. :shock:

It's nice to be reminded that there's fanservice out there for girls too. :D

One of the BEST fanservice shots ever in Melody of Oblivion (though it may have some symbolism :roll:)!

Though I heard once that theater arc starts, that's where it get more interesting. :twisted:
