How much fan service?

Kruzy said:
Well 6 episodes of slice of nothing ever happens so that kinda counts as fanservice.

Slice of lifey moments are totally fine, just not into the very provocative moments...

IMO the series is worth it, you get a side of slice of life at the beginning, more action than most "action animes" have at the last half and comedy all around.

All the time, every episode. This show is nothing but sexualizing children. Run away while you still can.

I'm not a fan of fanservice at all but I find it worth it to try to ignore it for this series. Even though the fanservice gets more, uh, intense, so does the plot. Gets more serious too.

Think of it as a Warhead. Covered with a sour coating of fanservice but then you get to the sweet center of plot...unless you don't like the inside of Warheads. >_< Ignore my analogy if that's the case.

Such a shame to see this anime sink so far down when it has so much potential...

I would make the distinction that since Illya and her friends are already in middle school, they are teenagers.

ViviKitty said:
does the manga tone those elements down at all?

Not to me because season 3 is good just as the previous seasons. Also fan service? There's barely any fan service in this season in my opinion because the first half of season three focus mainly on the comedy and slice of life with Illya and her friends which it also part of last half of the 2wei manga. The second half of season three focus mainly on the main story which is based on the final chapters of 2wei manga. Also unlike most anime with some unnecessary random fan service, this series fan service plays a part in Kuro's character because she needs mana in order to live, that's why she needs to kiss Illya or Miyu.

Personally, i think the judge will be convinced.

MightyM16 said:
lol what show did you watch?
The first half is full of fanservice, even with a mandatory beach episode and yukata episode

And even in the second part Silver Link doesn't shy from adding fanservice content. the most recent Kuro /Illya kiss didn't happen in the manga for example

And even if the kisses happen for a reason, it's still fanservice

to OP: it's a series full of fanservice it's worth it for the plot ( when it gets serious) and action scenes, but if you're disgusted by the loli fanservice it might get difficult to watch

AllenNoah said:

And then that moment when you realize that in the main verse

As if I needed more reason to hate the Einzberns. They want to get us all arrested.

The scene where Illya's yukata almost fell off yeah that was fan service because it was random, the scene where Irisviel and Leysritt wearing a bikinis are also fan service because it was random and it didn't happen in the manga. I don't count as fan service when Illya is hanging out with her friends during their peaceful time. And did you even read my post? I said the mana transfer kiss is fan service but it plays a part in Kuro's character and is necessary.

mangamuscle said:


If by fanservice you mean cute girls doing cute things (like you might see in Non non byori, which had in season one a beach episode and my bet is that last episode of s2 will have the visit to the shrine in yukata), yeah, there is plenty, this is the good ending for Illya, if you watched Fate Zero you will recognize this is the future Kiritsugu wanted for her and her Irisviel.

mangamuscle said:

If you are talking about erotic fanservice, there is little to none to the point of being quite forgettable (aside from the scenes I already mentioned in a prior post). So please do not mix the two kinds of fanservice, the OP is obviously asking about erotic fanservice.

But it makes a world of difference, I would not be able to endure this show if they pushed panties into my field of vision for no reason at all (Rosario+Vampire sesons two, I am looking at you). It is not even like this show added mana transfers to the fate universe, Nasu made it canon long ago (and even then, Nasu did not create tantric magic).

Maybe you did not read the OP post, they have already watched the two prior seasons, so talking about "loli fanservice" is old news, they asked about the level of it.

MightyM16 said:


You also forgot the beach episode as a whole with Luvia, Rin and Ruby shenaningans

And the kisses?
It's still fanservice
SL doesn't exactly need to focus on Kuro and Illya's lips and their saliva so much but they still do. They try to make it as hot as possible, aka: it's fanservice

AvatarJinzo said:

Again did you read my post? I did said the mana transfer kiss is fan service. I know it's fan favorite.

MightyM16 said:



You argued that the mana transfer plays an important part in Kuro's character and so is therefore necessary, I kind of agree

However it's definitely not necessary to show a close up in their mouths and their salivas mingling in the lewdest way possible
This is an example of random and unnecessary fanservice you said it didn't exist in Prisma

AvatarJinzo said:

And I also said it was fan service as well. Also the manga did show Illya and Kuro kiss in a intense way and showing their saliva up close while they were kissing to transfer mana to kuro.

astroprogs said:

Pretty much.



Also, hey, long time no see, man.

laidellent said:

dafuq...you are alive?

MightyM16 said:

So the manga has unnecessary fanservice too?
Idk, I didn't read it
In any case SL does their part as well, last episode for example the kiss featured there didn't happened in the manga at all which shows SL goes their way to show loli kissing scenes

C'mon we both agree it was fanservice however in one of your first replies you said that Kuro/Illya's kiss wasn't an unecessary fanservice which it isn't true, there is no need for SL to make it so lewd other than to do unnecessary fanservice

AvatarJinzo said:

I said the fan service plays a part in Kuro's character. Kuro kissing Illya is necessary because she needs mana in order to live so kissing Illya is one of her best options, the other option is intercourse but that won't happen in this anime. The kissing is fan service yes but it's also necessary in Kuro's case because in the manga Kuro said it's more effective if they both put feelings into it, that's why we see the saliva and why I said is necessary because it's not random and it's in the manga. And you didn't read the manga? If you didn't read the manga than there's no point trying tell you this.

MightyM16 said:


You aren't getting
We agree it's fanservice, but what I'm saying is that it isn't necessary for Silver Link to make the kisses as lewd as they do

Also I researched the manga and the kisses there aren't half as lewd as the anime ones which means SL adds unnecessary fanserivice through their own volition




See, I'm not saying the kiss itself is unnecessary since it's part of Kuro's character, but the lewdness SL puts into the kiss is plain and clear unnecessary fanservice

AvatarJinzo said:


See even in the manga the mana kiss is lewd with saliva.

OneTrueEmiya said:


Lol that. It does help that the manga is well, a manga, and doesn't have all the sound effects, etc that the anime has.

I thought it's kind of agreed upon that while Prillya appeals to TM fans and magical girl anime fans, it also appeals to a certain controversial demographic. For those who feel uncomfortable, don't worry too much. There definitely won't be this much fanservice next season.

AvatarJinzo said:

It doesn't bother me at all. Besides next season will be the best one because it will be based on Drei manga, which is more serious than the last two mangas. And a certain Controversial demographic?

MightyM16 said:
There is no denying the anime thrives in making their lolis kiss each other look as lewd as possible, which is clear unnecessary fanservice made to appeal to this certain demographic

mangamuscle said:


It is not clear to me how unnecessary said fanservice is. I know I am not the target demographic, since I a neither a lolicon nor japanese, but maybe a big percentage of those buying the disc releases are both, so from a marketing point of view it is not really necessary.

A solution might be to ask crunchyroll to create an alternate pg13 version of the series, that removes those frames that might make some people feel uncomfortable, as in, it would be obvious they are kissing, but they instead show the sky, a wall or Caren's dead pan face.

MightyM16 said:


Not talking about if it's necessary or unnecessary in a marketing standpoint

It's unnecessary because it adds nothing to the story and plot when for example the alternative you talked about could be perfectly used just as well

ViviKitty said:
How much fan service is there in this season compared to the previous one? We really loved the first season a lot, and the second season was great aside from the fan service, but we haven't started watching this one yet because we're unsure if continuing is worth having to sit through all that fan service over again. Spoiler free input will be appreciated of course.

MightyM16 said:


It's undeniable that Prisma has an appeal to lolicons, and please compare that one in the manga to the ones in the anime, the one in the OVA and the one in the latest episode ( that didn't happen in the manga)

There is no denying the anime thrives in making their lolis kiss each other look as lewd as possible, which is clear unnecessary fanservice made to appeal to this certain demographic

OneTrueEmiya said:


I agree it's completely unnecessary plot-wise, but I suppose that's how they pay their bills. I tolerate all this only because I want to witness the sheer GAR that will be in 3rei.
