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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||
