Mangafanatic wrote:Oh, LQ, I didn't even WATCH the first episode. It was ridiculous, IMHO. And, actually, the epidose that's labeled Episode 1 is actually Episode 00 according to the studio. I wouldn't even bother with it. There is some fan service in episodes 2 and 3, but it's usually just a scene or two and you usually know it's come. *Hint: Whenever Haruhi says she has a new outfit for she and Mikuru, it's time to start fastforwarding. Coincidentally, the outfit is a bunny outfit. So, yeah.*

Mr. SmartyPants wrote:Okay.... WHAT?
I just watched it now... Where is all this "large amount of fanservice" youre talking about. The only ones I saw were the bouncing chest. I guess the outfit and the camera cutting off right before she changes would count.
But that certaintly doesn't constitute as "lots of fanservice"... something like Full Metal Panic: Fomuffu is faservice. Excel saga has a lot of fanservice. This was just..... more or less nothing compared to those other titles. You are comparing this with excel saga. Have you even seen all of Excel Saga? I assume not.
Mr. SmartyPants wrote:Yes but you didnt watch all of excel saga with me... you saw only a few 10 eps or so (puuchu!)
I don't see all the fanservice you speak of
Mr. SmartyPants wrote:1. I was only referencing to your judgement on ep 1 with my judgement of ep 1. Your definition of "lots of fanservice" for ep 1 is clearly different than mine John... I did not see this "vast amount of fanservice" which you spoke of pertaining to episode 1.
Linksquest wrote:Then you probably have seen much more fanservice than I have to have become callous to it and not as sensitive to it as I am...
Mr. SmartyPants wrote:Edit: I saw eps 2 and 3. There was some fanservice there. Out of the blue too. But I think it was done tastefully without it getting any worse. I also like Kyon's reactions to things. He's a real interesting character.

Luckily, I am 1) A female 2) I can fast forward through it. But I don't really know if I would recommend it to a guy.
Eh, I'm not sure I'd completely agree in the "tastefully" score, Ryan. We definitely saw some bra in episode two. Quite UNtasteful, in my opinion.

Splitter 2.0 wrote:Yes, we saw Mikuru's bra. Big deal, girls wear bras. I'd be shocked (seriously) if you have never seen a bra in your life. It's just a piece of clothing. If I remember right, Kyon was worried about what Haruhi was doing to Mikuru and opened the door, he shut it like immediately after Mikuru said "Don't look", and keep in mind that this is Japan and bras in anime are far from taboo. From what I see, you're intentionally trying to make a mountain out of a molehill as opposed to enjoying what you're watching.

If, and when this series ever comes to the US, I hope they can make the title easier to pronounce and STILL not be cheesy (Tsukihime Lunar Legend, call your office).
