Yeah, the number of pantyshots in Girls und Panzer is zero. Zero.

The only big seller I can't for whatever reason discern its success is Infinite Stratos, it just sits like anomaly for being a fairly generic harem that somehow manages to outsell everything like it by several factors; there's far better harem anime that do worse consistently.

There's a difference between being discerning and being closed minded. If you are rejecting 85% of show purely based on their key visual, then you are assuredly missing out on shows you would like.

Additionally, if you preemptively dismiss all but 15% of shows, turning around and complaining about how oppressed you are by the lack of choices just comes across as petty whining.

YOUR tastes are not special enough to be granted any sort of special accommodation.

I do know what you mean but i was also talking if i see a picture of cute girls i kinda know what's going to happen and i'm out.

Is YQ:HnU self-contained or not? I wanted to watch the other YQ series but never got around to it.

A "boob show" is one that exists solely to show off (usually badly-drawn though the virgin audience would of course be incognizant of that) boobs. Like High School DxD or Ikki Tousen.

It [Kill la Kill] isn't completely focused on boobs. The show has other redeeming qualities and the fanservice mostly comes from a few characters such as Ryūko, not nearly the whole cast.

Well, it's not like it really shows anything, so the same level of titillation isn't present in the same way as Senran Kagura, which also shows nothing, but does focus more on the jiggles and cleavage.

How do you have to "dig" to find games in that list at all? I don't play military shooters or sports games, either (I'm cool with sandbox, though), and I don't have any problems finding games I like. That's a long list, and there are scores of Action, Adventure, Fighting, and Racing games.

Still, I watch D x D for its comedy and "out of control" male lead, which I can only get from this show; It makes me wonder if some people watch this stuff blind to the idea that it's a medium rather than a genre and "anime" covers everything from kid's fare to porn.

Tits: 31 shots

Ass/Crotch: 21 shots

Running time: 21 minutes, 51 seconds-- or 1,311 seconds, or 21.85 minutes

Averge number of tit shots: About 1.4 shots of boobs, naked or under bras, every minute--or one shot roughly every 42 seconds

Average number of ass/crotch shots: roughly .96 shots of an ass or a crotch every minute, or one shot roughly every 62 seconds

Average number of fanservice shots: About 2 shots of boobs or ass/crotch every minute, or one shot of some kind of fanservice every 25 seconds.

Does not count OP or ED (as it isn't in this episode)

Total Episode Length: 20 minutes, 45 seconds, or 1245 seconds

Boobs: 19 shots

Ass/Crotch: 13 shots

Ratio of T/A: 1.46 boob shots for every ass/crotch shot

Total Money Shots: 32

Time to first boob shot: 8 seconds

Time to first ass/crotch shot: 1 minute 11 seconds--77 seconds

Average number of boob shots: .915 boob shots every minute--one boob shot every 65 seconds

Average number of ass/crotch shots: .626 every minute, one every 95 seconds

Total average of fanservice shots: 1.54 every minute, one every 39 seconds

Final Analysis: Compared to episode one, episode 2 has only 61% the amount of boob shots, 61% the amount of ass/crotch shots, and 70% the amount of fanservice shots in general.

And then there's the other side of the coin; "If I like it, it has other redeeming features and it's not just food for perverts". If you define the show by the three leads/most reoccurring characters Ryuko, Kiryuin and Mako then yes, that is fanservice from the whole cast; In fact, I think you can list their boobs as their costars.

And that's okay.

Hey, did you know that Girls Und Panzer has zero panty shots? Zero. Sure, it has other basic fan service bits such as two bath house scenes with no real nudity, just some bare butts, there are no panty shots.

My theory is that many Type A fans are too busy being picky and over-critical, seizing on any flaw or imperfection as an excuse to not buy a series, thereby making themselves look discerning and elite. Type B fans, for all their supposed intellectual and personal failings, are more forgiving and more willing to buy what they love, so Type B continues to dominate. *"Type B" also includes non-prurient otaku-oriented anime like K-On, Hidamari Sketch, etc.

I think Type A fans just don't really care about anime enough to spend the money (its like 350-400 dollars for a 12-13 episode series), while the Type B fans are far more hardcore about their hobby and willing to pay it. Its really tough for people to be able to stomach those kinds of prices unless anime is basically their entire life, and Type A fans to me seem more like "Normal" people who happen to watch anime and enjoy other types of entertainment as well.
