Thanks for the clarification.
It could be 10+ years of me misremembering the explanation. The person who told me this was Korean, so it seems more likely that I misremembered than them explaining it wrong.
- Comment on Oppa oppa 1 week ago:
Someone told me that Oppa means ‘Uncle’, but in the particular district of Gangnam the word Oppa/Uncle also means Pimp.
So it’s basically a song based on a pretty bad pun. I’ll protect you like an uncle, and by Uncle I mean Pimp.

In my post I recommended Promised Neverland, Ranking of Kings, and OddTaxi as maybe Zero fanservice.
I’d say that Frieren, Sihate no Paladin (btw: its “Faraway Paladin” in English), Spy x Family as maybe 1/5 or 2/5 fanservice. Tame in the great scheme of things but … its worth discussing.
-
Frieren has some “Fern has large breasts” jokes. 1/5 Fanservice, low but there’s some jokes there that might make people uncomfortable especially given that Fern is young.
-
Spy x Family has the Sister x Brother thing going on. Discomfort is obviously the point. 2/5 Fanservice.
-
The Faraway Paladin had a few uncomfortable jokes I caught regarding Will walking in on Mary. Overall 1/5 but maybe like 3/5 on that one scene and its implications especially how Blood acts afterwards. Maybe I’m just overreacting to that one scene from earlier though but I think that’s exactly the issue that the original poster was talking about. (Like 99% of a show is solid and that weird 1% joke just throws you off with way too much of a sex joke, especially given how tame the rest of the show was). But yeah, aside from like, that one or two scenes (which I’d only rate 3/5 on fanservice in isolation, nothing close to like Kill la Kill), the rest of the show is either 0/5 or 1/5.
- Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta – English name is “My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom”
This is another one. Its largely tame and fun. But there’s a lot of prepubescent blushing, marriage proposals, getting together and dating. There’s the “adopted brother x sister” thing going on though, so I’d have to push the rating to 2/5 at least.

Oh right. For the OPs of the original recommendations / “Zero Fanservice” shows:
-
Promised Neverland: Orphans (IIRC, 12 years old or so at the start of the show?) discover that there’s dark secrets in their orphanage. They need to escape. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB2t5y7ujlg
-
Ranking of Kings: Bochi, the 1st Prince and 1st in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Bosse, is deaf, mute, and weak. The sickly Heroic King is worried about what will happen to the kingdom after he dies. The court (especially the Queen) is obviously favoring the stronger 2nd Prince. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5SSAXK6bQE . Classic Fairytale feel and tropes (magic mirrors, emperor has no clothes, blood magic, deals with devils, magical stepmoms, shadow people, etc. etc.)
-
Oddtaxi: Murder Mystery / Noir story with a twist. The protagonist is the Taxi Driver with damn good memory. The taxi rides of his customers largely have to do with the murder mystery and leads to the core of the murder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX-Ry1VxeDQ

Opening 1 and 2 for My Dress Up Darling. Obviously a fanservice show with all the dresses (and sometimes sexy-dresses) involved. But since its female-gaze centered, its a different feel.

Hmmm, I always considered Faye/Cowboy Bebop to actually be on the more sexualized side.
I’ll recommend Promised Neverland, Ranking of Kings, OddTaxi my top recommends for zero-fanservice shows.
There is slight fanservice (less than Cowboy Bebop) in Zenshu, that I think most people will find tasteful (a little bit of a silly hot naked springs scene but seriously Faye/Cowboy Bebop was a lot worse).

Apocalypse Hotel from last season.
A bit of a depressing start but pivots hard into ‘thinking’ comedy and philosophy.
- Comment on I wonder if it's working or not 2 months ago:
Discover has an alliance with JCB, the #1 credit card of Japan.
Discover (mostly) works on JCB, and JCB (mostly) works on Discover terminals in USA.
This means that Discover is a ‘guest’ on Japan’s credit card network. It’s JCB that will have the main say of what is or isn’t allowed in Japanese payments.
- Comment on I wonder if it's working or not 2 months ago:
Could you explain?
I’ve heard of years of examples of Visa/Mastercard going after the Japanese Doujin market. Never have I heard of anything from Capitol One.
- Comment on I wonder if it's working or not 2 months ago:
Steam suggests that ‘Payment Processors cited Mastercard Rules’.
Itch.io suggests that Visa specifically sent them a note, but more importantly that Stripe forbids sexual content.
We need to be smarter about this. We cannot just let random Twitter and Reddit outrage memes control us.
Fortunately, Visa and MasterCard have been assholes to a large number of international folks so I’m kinda okay with this? But the controversy this past month on these sexy games is poorly researched in general IMO.
We are seeing big tech (Reddit and Twitter) flex their muscles and see how easy they can attack other companies.
- Comment on Itch.io has begun restoring NSFW content, but only if it’s free 2 months ago:
Itch.io is currently saying the problem is Stripe, and maybe Visa.
Historically (ex: otakuusamagazine.com/visa-and-mastercard-refuse-t…), I’d say Mastercard and Visa are both to blame. But the jury is still out on wtf is going on here.
I’m not sure who pressured Steam. But Itch.io (aftermath.site/steam-itch-porn-censorship-collect…) is claiming Stripe and Visa are pressuring them.

Discover seems to be the best bet to me so far.
Discover is on the JCB, UnionPay, Troy and RuPay. (japan, China, turkey, and India respectively). Probably many more.
Similarly, a JCB card should work wherever Discover is. It’s a billateral alliance.
Oh, and all Discover cards work on Diners Club International because those two networks completely merged.
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 months ago:
Discover has an alliance with JCB. So that’s just Discover in the USA.

Ummmm.
ACH is how you get your paycheck, and it’s being updated to FedNow.
Zelle is an independent network as well.
And of course, there is Discover and AmEx.
There is also cash, check, money order. They still work today, just people largely forgot how to use them.

If there are that many mistakes here, then it’s likely malicious compliance. Someone was ordered to edit, so they edited in the most obvious manner possible.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 3 months ago:
They already did.
There’s that ‘Raw Edit’ video that is missing over a minute of footage because they forgot to edit out the timestamps.

- Comment on OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom • Overlord: Sei Oukoku-hen - Movie Discussion 5 months ago:
Overlord is late stage storytelling. The author is calling in hooks and writing the actual ending… Which is always a difficult task.
Most stories / shows get dramatically less interesting as hooks and plot points diminish. But it’s how you reach an ending. It’s rare for endings to feel satisfying in any media especially if it’s taken years or decades+ to build up.

Green Squadron (stealth / intelligence experts at finding monsters) failing to recognize a monster?
Remember that Suzukiri / Yellow Jr. Rank1 instantly recognized Fighter D in Ep. 1.
Occam’s Razor is that Green Squadron recognized that Fighter D is actually reasonable at stealth / subterfuge and decided that Green Squadron was the best place for him.
- Comment on OVERLORD: The Sacred Kingdom • Overlord: Sei Oukoku-hen - Movie Discussion 5 months ago:
I saw it in theaters. It feels… mean. I know we’re well into the “evil” arc of Overlord so its well into “evil Overlord conquers the world” kinda thing.
There is still a lot of good Overlord humor and laughs though. So the occasional “comic relief” to the rather heavy tragedies that Ains is now inflicting upon this country.
- Comment on American Audiences Flock to "Hatsune Miku" Film: Colorful Stage! The Movie Grosses US$2.77 Million at U.S. Opening Box Office 5 months ago:
Hatsune Miku is closer to a musical instrument in that many different musicians use her voice in many different kinds of songs.
Saying you are a fan of Miku (on a musical level) is roughly like saying you’re a fan of Trumpets.
I personally am into songs like Karakuri Pierrot. youtu.be/DDjcqu9uvUE
