Does fanservice make an anime better or worse?

In theory, it can only improve the anime, since it's just the addition of seeing your favorite character's panties or whatever
In practice, it becomes the only reason for the show's existence, destroying any somewhat decent part of the show that may have existed.

Imagine if every scene in K-ON was merely a way to build up to Ritsu fondling Mio's tits. Sure, that may be enjoyable now that you've watched the whole show, but would you get anything out of it if it was that way from episode one? If that was ALL the show was?

Everything in excess is bad.
I think the same applies to it.

Worse.

If I wanted my erotic stuff I would just use my pornographic Chinese picture books. An anime should focus on the story.

Good fanservice has a way to blend in with the anime and come naturally, bad fanservice sticks out like a thumb in your eye due to the forced situations and cliched scenarios.

you can't ruin shit

Better.

Because it deters normalfags.

Actually it attracts retarded weaboos

>>143304255
Worse.
Its one of the reasons why I dropped Fairy Tail aside from the shitty story.

I think it depends on the series, really. It can go either way. For example I thought it felt a bit awkward & out of place in Kuma Miko, 'cause it was just countryside comfiness, but in Netoge it was great.

I'm in love with Yui.

It's just used to redeem something already terrible.

>>143304255
There are some anime where it's acceptable, but in most cases it just makes the series reek of HikiNeet body odor.

>It attracts the people it's intended for to the determent of those it isn't intended for.
Good.

Neither, it's a treat for the fans. People will say it made their stupid anime worse, if it wasn't stupid to begin with. T&A and panties didn't ruin HOTD or whatever, you're just a dumbass with unwarranted expectations.

Fanservice is not always limited to sexually inciting material either.

>>143304255
Better. Always.

It can ruin a series, for me Tai-Madō Gakuen 35 Shiken Shōtai was fucking ruined by the ecchi and fan service of it, it doesnt blend in

Usually I don't mind a little but of fanservice but in K-on case I am glad that Kyoani decide to drop most of the fanservise. Nowadays they do the opposite though.
