Hiding Anime Sex Appeal In Plain Sight

Flying Witch and Amanchu have been the most beloved iyashikei shows of 2016--but none of the conversation surrounding them seems to address their near-constant fanservice. Why?

meh. this is true for all media. I've no idea why you focussed on Iyashikei shows as they have to follow the 'rules' just like any show. whether it's a western soap opera, a mecha anime or some series on HBO. people prefer pretty people on screen and throwing criticism on these shows about this just seems arbitrary. I mean, the 'cute girls doing cute things' is pretty much the definition of the whole genre! what about shows supposedly made around cooking or sports? so much blatant fanservice even when the theme is clearly something else. More than anything, give the same criticism on mahou shoujo shows and you'd at least have a point. nanoha and even cardcaptor sakura are maybe even more in your face about it than something like flying witch is! that has to be wrong on at least 5 more levels. I'd like to see you dare tackle that can of worms!

I wasn't really criticizing these shows at all, besides my complaint about tight clothes which is just a personal issue. I was mostly criticizing the double-standard of the audience.

I like this type of fanservice because i can watch it in front of my family and if they "they are too sexy with unrealistic clothes" i will tell them stop objectifying the woman you sexist fuck, you just have a perverted mind.
