Yea, it really is.
Malia Weinhagen talking about her father Dave Arneson
 

"The biggest thing about my dad's world is he wanted people to have fun in life," Weinhagen said. "I think we get distracted by the everyday things you have to do in life and we forget to enjoy life and have fun.

"But my dad never did," she said. "He just wanted people to have fun."

I think of fanservice as anything that gets more screen time than it should just because its popular.

Like

FFVII Advent Children in its entirety.

Then you clearly don't watch enough anime. :P

It'll change your interpretation on the word reaaal quick.

Neither do I.

There's also nipples, panty shots, maid/bunny girl/school girl outfits, hadaka aprons...

Need I go on? :P

Yes please.

And ryu, you do realise your definition of "fanservice" is simply "anything I don't like but is popular," right? I'm pretty sure that's not what the word means.

I dunno if liking has anything to do with it. I can definately cite some examples demonstrating otherwise.

Fan service, sometimes written as a single word, fanservice, is a vaguely defined term used in visual media—particularly in anime fandom—to refer to elements in a story that are unnecessary to a storyline, but designed to amuse or excite the audience.


There. Defined.

Oh snap, Ryu just cranked this definition up a notch!

Now it's gone from "Super Lame" to "Pretty Lame".

I could deliver, but I might be stepping on a few forum laws. :P
