Where exactly did you get 10 from? Everywhere I've seen she's 14 (wikipedia says 16) at the start of the show, so 21-23 in the second half. If she is 10 that would mean she becomes a 17 year old teacher, and that's where I draw the line for ridiculous.


Wait... she was 14? I thought she was 10. I remember that someone said that she's 10, but oh well, he's wrong. Sorry if I mislead some people around here.

Japanese people are sick

Well they like to play the characters' stories, like well at Heaven's Lost Property Ikaros is +1000 years and she looks like a 17 years old girl, is an anime logic (which is still weird)

No they don't. They just like giving petite little girls big tits because they care more about fanservice than plot

It's funny how defensive you're getting. I'm just saying they care more about fanservice and you agree.

In the end, fanservice is the outermost shell that lures many at a first glance; then come the rest to catch and hold on to them.

Many came for the fanservice and stayed for the story/action/characters/drama/premise, not the other way around...ish?

Maybe he's referring to the story (and animated cutscenes) of ChronoPhantasma...


Wait, he's referring to Alter Memory! IT EXISTS! RUN FOR IT!

Some studios do, but you're treating it like it's a bad thing.

Fanservice can be pretty annoying sometimes.

At some point there will be so much fanservice that it's just substituting for erotica.

Might as well go online in that case.

Not really, fan-service is there as an easy way of keeping the fans attention and to distract them from the usually mediocre characters and story. The only times fan-service is used to lure people in is when the whole show is purely fan-service, in which case the show is targeting only people who enjoy fan-service.

I only watched the first episode of Kill la Kill and I can't tell if its fan-service or well-played comedy.
