| rdfs:comment | - Fanservice is a term used to refer to gratuitous content, usually of a non-graphic sexual nature, included in a work solely to appeal to the fans without adding to the story. Usually involves shirtless men, women in lingerie or bathing suits, nudity of varying levels of explicitness, cleavage or underpant shots, yaoi or yuri, etc. Non-sexual fanservice can include things like fancy scenery shots, complicated special effects, particularly vile and/or hated characters getting what they deserve, and gratuitous explosions. Everybody loves explosions.
- The typical, but not only, element of fan service is racy or sexual content used to titillate the viewer, such as nudity or other forms of eye candy. Shower scenes were a very common fan service in anime of the 1980s and 1990s, while many more recent TV series use trips to Onsen, beaches or trips to tropical locales in order to showcase the characters in bathing suits or various states of relative undress that would otherwise be out of place with the tone of a series.
- Fanservice. It's just freaking awesome. Examples. Enjoy.
- Fanservice was founded by Loopstah an angst filled youth who discovered that his adopted father was in charge of a facility secretly developing Giant Robots in order to take over the world for the evil "Black Hand of Zargo", a dark cult of devil worshipping fanatics. Distressed at this Loopstah broke into the secret research facility on a small island in the Pacific determined to put a halt on his adopted father's evil plans.
- Fanservice is a term that applies to any manga or Anime that has a lot of basis in the appeal of fan, usually erotic. Fanservice for males is often chracterized by an idealisticly pretty girl, often times with large breasts, very shapely figure and often putting a male and female into an erotic situation with each other (i.e. a night at the hotsprings) this can also be accomplished through full or partial nudity, or skimpy clothing.

Fanservice for females often lies in Yaoi manga, with much of the chracteristics only being applied to men instead of women characters. guys are very well toned and strong. Again nudity partial or full may be involved heavily.
- Fanservice was founded by Loopstah an angst filled youth who discovered that his adopted father was in charge of a facility secretly developing Giant Robots in order to take over the world for the evil "Black Hand of Zargo", a dark cult of devil worshipping fanatics. Distressed at this Loopstah broke into the secret research facility on a small island in the Pacific determined to put a halt on his adopted father's evil plans. Once inside the facility through a series of accidents and comical blunders Loopstah found himself inside the cockpit of the only completed Giant Robot, a 50 ft tall combination of God and Machine known as Pantyflash. Due to some incredible luck it just so happened that Loopstah was the perfect genetic match to pilot the mechagodking Pantyflash and he soon took mastered the control, although not without considerable soul searching, philosophical wonderings and a whole boat load of self doubt and self loathing. Using the newly awakened powers of the mechagodking he unleashed destruction upon the research facility, killing all of the scientists and soldiers with his "Superrrrrr Panty GigaSword!" attack along with copious use of the lesser "Panty Flashhhhhhhhhh CrimsonArc" attack and the reliable but weak "Pantyyyyyyy Punch!". Overwhelmed by grief and despair at the destruction he had wrought Loopstah fell into a pit of despair and flash backs to his childhood with his adopted father, unfortunately all such soul searching ended abruptly when his adopted father's real son arrived also piloting a Giant Robot. Driven insane by the death of his father, Sephikefkaroth Jecht'necron paused only to flick back his long silver hair befor launching into battle against Loopstah and Panyflash, piloting his own mechagodking "Ultimecian Neo-Exdeath Type 4". Pantyflash was critically damaged by the devastating "Vegnagun" attack of SJ's mechagodking and all looked lost but with the appearance of the ghosts of Loopstah's dead parents he was able to draw on inner reserves that had previously lain dormant and transform Pantyflash into the SolarZero Pantyflash DragonGod form. SJ and the UNE Type 4 were unable to withstand this new form of Pantyflash and with one blast of the "SuperCelestial CrystalGod SoulHeart Dragon of Heaven EternalWind Nightmare Pantyflash Cannon" the whole of Tokyo (for the fighters had somehow crossed the Pacific all the way to Japan during the battle's duration) was destroyed in a ball of nuclear fire not seen since the last time Tokyo was destroyed (the 16th). Staring at the destruction laid out before him, Loopstah vowed to rebuild Tokyo anew as Megatokyo 1 (as Tokyo 2,3,4,5, NeoTokyo 1,2,3,4, SkyTokyo, GeoTokyo 1,2,3, SubaquaTokyo 1,2, and SpaceTokyo had all been used before). He swore that he would build a mighty nation and bring peace and prosperity to the world using Pantyflash only for the good of mankind and thus the nation of Fanservice was born.
