If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

I like fanservice but it isn't why i watch DxD, there are far better series for fanservice.

There is a tiny bit of merit in liking Bake more than Nise. Beyond that however, Nise being the least popular is just further proof that Mongatari "fans" are either not honest with themselves, and/or want to pretend to be hipsters by liking wannabe artsy shit (which is a laughable concept, considering Bakemonogatari is one of the most popular anime of all time).

IDK what DxD has to do with this, I've never commented on it ever. Not even relevant to this conversation in the least, as far as I'm concerned.


IMO the wannabe hipsters should jump ship to my camp, and hate on Monogatari, that way you can be a true hipster.

No, there is no series currently airing that has better fanservice than DxD, not even my anime.

I mean, it's uncensored big bare boobage in your face.

And Sent, I think Nise isn't as popular because the fanservice (and the season as a whole) is mainly focused around the more unpopular characters. If it was all Senjougahara then... dayum.

No, that's my point. I wouldn't deny liking fanservice, thus when I say I'm not watching Monogatari for the fanservice you can take my word for it.
Sent's idea that you can only appreciate it or be fascinated by the dialogue and wanting to understand it more if you're fluent is just bullshit.

Well I think Sent hates Bake a bit too much (just like he hates Lucky Star too much :D), but I still think Monogatari S2 was bleh.

I wasn't talking about this season in particular, in general i feel that there are better series for fan service and i would definitely watch DxD even if it didn't have it.
That said i do like fan service and obviously don't mind it being there, and i also don't think the fan service in DxD is bad. As a series, it does have a ton of great girls to show off anyway.

Xebec is where you go for the best fan service in animu.

Oh yes, lots of puns and word play that 100% rely on fluency in Japanese, entire plot points based on word play, so fascinating, so good.

For the record, I don't HATE Bake. I gave Bake a 6. Its definitely lower tier, but its not like it makes me breath fire of rage like Card Captor Sakura or something.

Just because a series does a thing well doesn't mean you have to watch it for that reason. That's how I see It. We all have different priorities. I watch dxd cuz the plot is decent and its hilarious. Fanservice is just a welcomed bonus.

Might as well watch hentai if you want pure fan service.

Xebec is where you go for the best fan service in animu.

But I don't understand why other past series having better fanservice makes one unable to watch DxD for its fanservice.

You can watch all of them and appreciate all of the fanservice ten times over.

About DxD without fanservice: If it didn't have fanservice I wouldn't watch it. It's extremely mediocre otherwise. Most of the humor is based off of the fanservice. I'd like to see you guys try to argue against that, because then I'd really know you were in denial.

and you have no idea how satisfying it is to understand some of them even if it's just some after looking more into it.

I get a lot more satisfaction out of that than out of anything else anime related tbh. Thus my innitial wording and calling it fascination because you really WANT to understand it. Even if you don't understand it you end up looking stuff up until you get at least some parts of it.

Is it as satisfying as being on IRC, see Uta make a pun, and figure it out? Because that isn't very satisfying.

That is the opposite of satisfying. :<

It actually hurts my head. Hence why Choco is 4ever ignored.

I don't really care for uta's puns so no. I mean let's be honest, looking up nadeko shit is stupid and I don't get any kind of satisfaction out of that and all the love I have for her is based on Hanakana and her being a stupid moeblob. So there's that too.

I didn't say one couldn't watch DxD for the fanservice which is why i only said that it isn't why I watch it

I read the LNs because i genuinely enjoy the characters and setting, even if the fanservice was removed i'd still be both watching and reading although i'd definitely be enjoying it less, afterall i DO like the fanservice, but it isn't the main draw for me, it's just a bonus ontop. And even then there is far less fan service and lewd stuff in the light novels.

Still doesn't make sense why you can't watch something for something just because there's something better with that something. There are better romcoms than Ore Monogatari, but why would that suddenly make you not want to watch Ore Monogatari for its romcom? It makes absolutely no sense.

I don't know about the LNs, it's possible you can enjoy the LNs without fanservice. The anime, however, is 80% based on the fanservice, humor and all. For the 20% of plot, it's nothing out of the ordinary and in fact, in my opinion, is what brings it down.

Guys, I just wanted to let you know that the best girl in the Monogatari Series is Mayoi Hachikuji (alias snail). Thank you for your attention, feel free to carry on.
