That's your own fault, not the show being bad. Again, the anime wasn't advertised as a boing boing boing fanservice!!! anime
But the anime was never advertised as such. If you had read the plot synopsis before watching the show you'd know
Wait, so it's boring just because it's not about Super Sonico boucning around with her tits fully exposed for 25 minutes?
Not really, no. The anime adds quite a lot of depth to the character.
That's advertisement for the game + figures, not the anime. The advertisement for the anime didn't have that much sex appeal.
Super Sonico's interactions with the characters around her (her grandma, her band members, her manager). After reading the rest of the post, I understand that you only watched the first episode and is now butthurt because you didn't get to see any nudity. That's like only watching the first episode of TTGL and get disappointed that there are no super robots in the anime because the only thing you read about the show was the words "super" and "robot". |

For expecting fanservice? Probably. The show being bad? No, the show is just bad. I'm not sure what was funny to you, but I found nothing funny. Super Sonico also just seems like a cute girl doing cute things. Like thats not interesting to me. If you like it cool. I'm just saying there could have been some ridiculous fanservice which would have been somewhat fun. And since all searches involving this character are nothing but that, I excepted that.
Because even in the first episode there are hints at something far greater. While the Gurren hasn't become full yet, you still have an awesome mech battle in the 1st episode. Plus the beginnings of a cool plot and some engaging characters. if all you knew was that it had super robots and watched GL, you shouldn't be disappointed, because you see the beginnings of the mechs powers. If all you knew was Super Sonico, you'd look up a google image search (like I did) and see that pretty much everything is with her boobs and ass being emphasized. You'd see that she's basically a merchandising item so if you watch her show expecting story or characters that would be insane, but it's probably going to be pretty fanservicty because everything else relating to the character is nothing but fanservice. You'd watch the show and be pretty bored. or not if you like watching cookie cuter anime chicks do stuff. |

Ok, I don't know anything about the show but I thought being a gravure idol was about the tits and fanservice with no actual nudity. Are you saying this show is like a PG movie about the porn industry? I can understand the complaint then. |

As someone who has watched three episodes of the show: it's not a bad show.
There is fanservice, but it's not over the top. |

can we find some sort of middle ground here and just concede that Rahx finds the show boring, and everyone else that likes it doesn't and just move on?

jeez. Chaos is happening here.
 And I'm sorry Getchman. I'll follow your wish after this 
From analyzing your posts. I conclude that the Moe Slice of Life genre is just not for you. Your basically arguing about the problems the majority of those shows have. Even K-On, Lucky Star, Non Non Biyori, Tamako Market an even Hidamari Sketch have them. You can freely argue how you don't like it. But your conclusion to why people like it seems offensive even to me since your solution to watching a slice of life show like Super Sonico expecting some high rate fan service should be too close the stream window and watch porn instead. Don't act all innocent that your last sentence which was double spaced from your paragraph which can be freely interpreted by people given your odd use of it after your criticism which I can agree with somewhat until that single sentence is all alone waiting to be respond with dislike. Yet you question why it bothers people. The Moe Slice of Life genre tends to lighten sexual comedy cause fan service of the physical body is not why were here to watch cute girls do cute things. They may talk about adult things of the human body, but that is different from physically interacting with them. A-channel is the closest that I could find so far to fit your wants with the main silent moe character always uppercutting her friend just for the purpose of lifting a boob or two.
I was with you thinking jet_ made a bad analogy with TTGL. But you made a bad one yourself. Plot synopsis is PLOT. Not a genre or character development chart.
You can't suspect the contents of a show blindly just by looking at character designs in other forms of entertainment or commercial advertisement. You don't think or assume that there is some light-hearted comedy in the evangelion movies/show when you see their shaving commercials/pics. There can be but that is not only subjective but in the small minority. You look at not only the plot synopsis, but trailers or production information. Another example could be my impression of Attack on Titan. Looked through synopsis, trailers, production talk and information. Then from there I formed my mind on it with expectations. Attack on Titan was enjoyable crap, but lost expectation on the possibilities of being high grade FMAB material with Berserk writing completely from what the creators were trying to show in my eyes. I criticize the show but I don't piss on the fans trying to point out my problems or hiccups then divert the problem by saying that fan should get down on his computer and type a load of what you grade to be, "substance"? You know, like you just did with Yuno07? Overall I could agree with your points if you just left THAT sentence out and actually gave a passable argument with Yuno after his/her comment that made sense to your attitude. |

Seems a strange title to license. Is Super Sonico even that popular outside of Japan?

Pretty much. Rahxephon91 is just parroting the same cynical, AMB BS that people love to rattle off on this site. It's petty, ridiculous, and is done just to get a rise out of people. |

Well, there was the Udon artbooks... outside of that a Super Sonico themed shows seems pretty niche to get picked up. EDIT: It's almost like it's living within a void for it's main hook: "do you like the Mascot for VN company Nitroplus that has only released a handful of titles in North America, most of which have been 18+ titles? Then you'll like this anime all about her!" That reminds me, does anyone have a link to the Sonico Shock Infinity trailer - THAT is what I wish the anime were like! Maybe in a sequel series (similar to Muv Luv Alternative)? "Sonico Shock Infinity, a cross between Nitroplus mascot Super Sonico and BioShock Infinity, “coming 2014?”" EDIT2: Nevermind, found it --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnSijX7e9vg Last edited by FlamingFirewire on Wed Jan 22, 2014 2:49 pm; edited 2 times in total |

It's always a bit of a mug's game trying to figure out why Company X decided to license Title Y. Presumably, Sentai has sales figures from shows comparable to Super Sonico and thus believes they can make a few shekels from a release. It seems like it would be a fairly easy show to market:
YOU LIKE BIG TITS??? GUESS WHAT, SUPER SONICO'S GOT BIG TITS!!! ... I really should be working on Madison Avenue. |

This might be kind of unrelated. but when it comes to these boring slice of life shows, couldn't we at least have more unique and interesting slice of life shows like Kamichu where there's at least some sort of unique hook?
The problem I had with Super Sonico is that the direction just feels super calculating and Super Sonico is literally the amalgamation of every single slice of life character. Those are my opinions of the first episode, but man, did it drain my enthusiasm for the show when I was expecting they'd do at least something different or unique with the character. I'm half expecting a mid-show twist or something, but I doubt it's going to happen at this point. |
