>How about series that are good throughout?
rare not only in anime but most mediums. You kinda have to understand that people that make your works are people not robots

I can forgive a series going off to a rocky start since they want themselves and the audience to get acquainted with the story and will never call them "complete garbage"

>>145142217
I with anime would be mostly manga adaptions again.

so many good manga that needs adaption but they won't because they're adapting "I've been transported into another world and have a cheat ability and a harem" over and over. even though I'm currently only reading LNs nowadays I still want anime adaptions to shift out of it

What I want is more original anime because contrary to what you say no manga "needs" an adaptation.
Sure, I always appreciate a good one when it happens and there are even some better than the manga, but an original anime can work on a clean slate without the problems from transitioning from a medium to another and adapting an existing material.

>>145142810
The funny thing is that both Emilia and Rem are waifu bait, Emilia just to a lesser degree because she doesn't take shit from Subaru. Rem is wish fulfillment: the character once she warms up to Subaru. It's Reifags Vs Asukafags all over again and I can't wait for the shitstorm when Rem falls into a whale induced coma and Subaru then tells her that he loves her in episode 25

Self-inserts are low effort media that only pander to teenage boys(or girls) or losers-- quite a broad audience.

Give me a good story and interesting protagonist(s)-- I don't want fan-service with raunchy shit.

>>145143367

For me, using scientific terms out of context is insulting to the generations of scientists who worked there lives for our sake. Instead of shitting on the graves of scientists, I would much prefer authors to come with original ideas instead. I have no problem with magic, spells and curses because after all, it's fantasy.

Here's an example of fanservice in a series that caters to woman. No, this VN isn't yaoi or gay. It's just a fanservice bad ending that happens.

Thats how girls feel when they catch you watching a fanservice moment in your favorite anime. Awkward and uncomfortable as fuck.

>Not gonna lie friend. You kinda sound like a fag

Yes, homosexuals appreciate fanservice. That's because fanservice in almost all scenarios has no substance. There's no meaning for the fanservice to happen or deep symbolism, its just there to give the guy watching a boner.

Fucking waste of time those scenes are.

Doesn't really matter if you're gay or not. There's just no substance to fanservice most of the time.

Fanservice is OK when there is symbolism/lore involved

For instance: Phantom - Requiem for the Phantom has fanservice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3vq3WH4Xn8

but it has a religious symbolism depicting the crucification of Jesus Christ, so it's OK.
