You sound insecure tbh. If you like it, good for you, no reason to be triggered if someone else doesn't like it.

There are a lot of anime fans who can't stand Mechas, and despite I love mechas, I don't go around telling them how do they watch animes without liking mechas.
I don't feel the need to force others into what I like to validate what I like. Only insecure people do this.
Anime is not a genre. To each their own.


I'm not forcing anybody to do anything, and I don't even like it lol. I was just making a joke about how the medium is oversaturated with "fanservice," and that it's hard to like one and to fully avoid the other. But I guess "insecure" is the new most common thing to call people on the internet I guess.

No, it doesn't get better.

I also have Kill la Kill in my favorites, but there's no contradiction. Fanservice & ecchi only work in comedies (in the broader sense of the term, as the opposite of drama), since ecchi = playful erotic content. KLK has both comedy and drama elements. On the other hand, Summertime Render is a 100% serious mystery thriller story and that's why it's literally the only anime I've ever seen in which fanservice is detrimental.


Thank you, finally a mature answer. I don't get why so many people got triggered by that question in the first place.
KLK has a different tone, and it could be argued that it was literally mocking fanservice.
On the other hand, this is not what I expected from Summer Time, given the premise I read..

A lot of people answered your question in civil manner, yet the only one (misleading, on top of that) that fits your bias is supposedly "mature"?

Summertime Rendering also has plenty of comic relief used brilliantly to relieve tension between arcs.
Both of those instance of ecchi, Hizuru's boob pillow and Mio's pantsu are properly played off in comedic manner, so there is a huge contradiction here.

There is no such thing here like in Isekai Labirynth Harem, such as busty, naked girl being brutally murdered on screen or anything like we have seen in Highschool of the Dead.

Just started watching Summer Time Render. 5 minutes in, already 2 distasteful fanservice scenes. Including showing the underwear of a girl that looks like 14yo. Had to pause it and come here to check.... Is it going to be like that during the whole show?


Actually at first i thought that too, but it's not the case the fanservice scene you're talking about is actually significant and will prove why it was significant in the very last episode. Also from episode 3 there was absolutely zero fanservice in this anime and it was purely mystery and suspense. I suggest you continue with it

bro just because mio showed her pantsu doesn't mean it's going to be full fanservice. even what you call "fanservice" can help progress the story at some point. not all fan services are bad imo

"misleading"

The fact that the fanservice in Summertime Render bothered us is undeniable; we may discuss about the reasons as much as we want, but they'll always be subjective. I even like the ecchi genre, which makes this case particularly unique.

Good point, High School of the Dead. It didn't bother me in that case due to the trashy/cartoonish tone of the show (bullet through boobs, stuff like that).

There’s no unnecessary fan service. That’s one of the two only panty shots in the entire anime, and both of them serve to the plot, I’m not even lying. Please watch it.

Kill la Kill fans no longer try to make their purely fanservice-bait show look deeper than it actually is. Now they simulate fanservice overdose to other anime.

Half the replies are pointing out that I have KLK in my favs, so I shouldn't be bothered by a panty shot or even call me a clown.
A mature reply is to give a clear answer to my concerns, without trying to lecture me or sound clever by pointing out my favorite anime.

Maybe it's the way I came up with this thread. But this was an honest question. It wasn't intended to diss the show. I don't know anything about it, except there's time travel involved. And I just watched 5 minutes...
I remember asking the same about Gurren Lagan, for example, because the first couple episodes bothered me, people gave me a heads up about how fanservice goes and was toned down after a couple episodes, and it helped me.

Saying, that "Summertime Render is a 100% serious mystery thriller" is an overt lie, because it has quite a lot of comic relief, so your statement is completely misleading. Also, both of those instances of fanservice are played off in comedic manner.

Yes. Doing such a thread only five minutes into first episode is unwise. You should not rush or act surprised, when people will point out KLK in your favorites, when subject of fanservice is brought up. Especially since you literally called this fanservice "distasteful", which is just a blasphemy.

Yes, they were played off in a comedic manner and that didn't fit with the overall tone of the show, in our opinion. I'm not going to say that you're wrong, this is subjective.

they somehow Integrated those scenes into the plot. Though the fan service aside this is one of the best anime of the year and is completely worth a watch. You'll forget about the fan service shot after an episode or 2

nope. fan service is not the main focus. just a sprinkle on top to keep it exciting though it's exciting without it. it's a must watch 10/10.

Update : Just finished watching the show. Started strong, was a good 8/10 until ep 11/12. Then it went downhill until the terrible last couple of episodes.
What a letdown!!

Still a 6/10 because the art is beautiful, got attached to the characters and the concept was great. But wow, what a waste.
I had the wrong idea about the "fanservice" and the romances are actually pretty well done for once...
Why do so many animes tend to go trippy and messy in the end? Conclusion of a story is so crucial, it's like mangakas don't know how to end a story properly...

Yo, I know this thread is old but I just wanted to say thanks for asking the question; I was asking myself the exact same thing about whether it was "that" kind of anime and went looking on google to see if it was worth continuing. The older I get, the less I can tolerate unnecessary fanservice.

I appreciate all the answers that get straight to the point in answering your question and refrain from immature or rude remarks. I'll keep going then! πŸ‘

@justbenedict1908 That's right, I'm not here to enjoy animes anymore. I'm here for the thrill of seeing the downfall of new promising/overhyped shows. The best feeling is when those shows don't get renewed for a 2nd season, then all light fades away from the fanbase's eyes, replaced by despair. It's particulary delightful when it's a younger fanbase still full of hope and delusion, like the Solo Leveling one. Can't wait to see that happening.
You can call me the rookie anime crusher. >:)

"Overdose" is a simple pantyshot.


While I can see what you mean. I think this is really just a girl falling into the sea, with a skirt on^^ It happens.
It's not meant to make you horny, lusting for more of that - and it's not a fanservice heavy Show, in general.

@Merve2Love There was also the scene right before it with Shinpei throwing himself into Hizuru's boobs. They're both not necessarily "overdose", but they did both happen within the first 5 minutes, so it was pretty frequent. Typically with anime that indicates that it'd be a common thing going forward.

I think it's perfectly valid for someone with a distaste for fanservice or even someone who isn't accustomed to anime's tropes to ask the question OP asked at that point. If you like that kind of thing or it simply doesn't bother you, then that's cool too.

And to both of you, if you don't like something, don't watch it!

And no, you're not suppost to know in advance, you try watching it, and if you see it has stuff you don't like, you stop watching it and move on to the next thing

@Merve2Love I think the "overdose" came from an overall sentiment watching multiple shows.
I was able to finish the show, thanks to the helpful replies on this thread, and wrote a small review.
Turned out fanservice was the least of Summer Time Rendering problem to me.
The show had a great start but the second half of the season was forgettable at best...

@pastelfeelings Yeah I agree with both your comments. I'm not sure why some people take it personally. It's not even a morals thing, it's just personal preference from an artistic standpoint.
I recently found out that Imdb has a good nudity rating system (+ a description of the scenes you can expect) for most shows/movies/animes if that can help. I think it's pretty neutral and not judgy.

Silence, everyone. A Frieren fan wants to talk about "consistency in 2nd half" ('philosophical' drama x battle shounen) and "sexual fanservice x show's tone" (Fern breast jokes, foot fetish triggers)!
