There are tasteful ways to include fan service and the execution is what matters
Show is meant to be smutty ? It’s about quality
Show not meant to be smutty ? this better be relevant to the plot in some way

If it’s relevant to the plot, or a feature of the genre, is that even fan service? I thought fan service, by definition, was extraneous sexuality.

I’m curious, on a legit/fanservice spectrum, where would you place Kill La Kill? It shows tons of skin, but it’s a legit part of the story. Of course it’s a dumb premise, but they lean into it anyway, and it does drive the plot in several instances.
As an aside, I enjoyed it a lot because I absolutely love Studio Trigger and their art style, but I’ve stopped recommending it to anyone because the conversation always goes in one direction. I’m not surprised, of course, but I wish people had the ability to resist fixating on that one element and appreciate the cinematography, character development, music, voice acting (including Nobuyuki Hiyama!), and all the other things that make it great…
