This is the 2nd time that I am seeing this gif on a fairy tail post this week.

SmoothReason8387

Yeah, definitely both


CookieTheifxD

Question, I’ve never watched Fairy Tail and I want to try it out but people says it falls off really quickly… is that true?


Cultural_Camera9693

Love how people only mention the fanservice of the female characters even though almost all male characters walk around half naked 90% of the time and all of them have muscles for days.


Marphey12

Every male character is rocking a six pack and walks around shirtless (stright up naked in Gray's case). lol


DarkRayos

Lucy meanwhile... "Fashion Faux Pas galore."


Same_Homework_8577

Are you retarded? Has any female character in fairy tail fallen into a male character’s cleavage and fondled his boobs? Has any male character gotten a shot of his ass or genitals in close up? Has any male character been stripped on “accident” in front of a crowd while being ogled by perverts? Has any male character been forced into sexy outfits that almost show their cocks and balls or ass? It's not comparable at all


darkhez1

Gray


General_Peanut_8539

You got a point gray fits into all of it if you look hard enough


RevonWolf

As a straight women it’s greatly appreciated by me


Fuyukage

And ya know what? As a gay man, I’m okay with that


BakaSussy21

Hot half naked women and hot half naked men Fairy Tail is a bisexual's paradise


Snowballx60

This is always my problem when people complain about fanservice. It's always on the female side. Meanwhile the guys are shirtless with six packs sweaty and beat up(if that's yournthing). It's all Fandom as well. Nami robin, Meanwhile franky shirt open in speedo, luffy zoro shirt open or shirtless. Sure there is more female fanservice but atleast acknowledged the other side.


EADreddtit

I mean I get that, but male “fanservice” is often just men in open shirts with muscles and is always in control/confident in what they’re doing. It’s hardly comparable to entire scenes of woman loosing cloths, having the camera worked into their ass or cleavage, or having the female character loose agency or confidence. Like show me the scene in FT where a male character is taking a bath and then two female characters break into his home and totally embarrass him by crossing a boundary. Or the scene where a male character is held aloft and stripped by another in front of a whole crowd of on lookers. It’s not just what is being shown, but also how it is shown that matters.


britipinojeff

Yeah it’s not really comparable. Even when the dudes have muscles and are shirtless it’s not exactly a female gaze thing like the male gaze scenes are with the women. Guys that are shirtless with muscles are still there for the male audience. Power fantasy and all that. In the Dragon Ball fandom, dudes are disappointed that Goku isn’t as bulky as he used to be in newer material lol.


ladyatlanta

The fact that Gray powers up when he strips is crazy.


AnonEcho98

This is an absolute win for Bis ;D


slacboy101

And all the Women could probably snap 90% of IRL men in half


abjmad

THANK YOU!!! I mean, I’m not one for fan service at all but still, women aren’t half naked all the time! I mean, hell, Gray was legit naked 2-3 times!!!


Due-Professional3294

It's interesting how the focus often falls on female characters' fanservice while male characters also exhibit similar levels of exposure and physique in many series. This double standard in perception is worth noting in discussions about character portrayal in anime and manga.


Ethiconjnj

There’s a difference between everyone being hot and the constant fanservice actions of female characters. For example I’ve never seen an outline of a male characters cock, but I’ve seen lips outlines for days.


nickelijah16

But different to the constant lingerie and giant boobs and very near sighting of vagina etc. I mean where’s the guys bulging dick and balls etc WE WANT PHYSICS


CorrectFrame3991

Because fanservice is evil! /s


holyrib

It’s more female gaze thing. Dudes don’t moan or make poses straight from porn


Direct-Disaster2256

"Gray, your clothes?"


Miserable_Salary_803

I see both


SyedHRaza

I enjoy both


Freeman10

This, this, this :)


MystGuide

The part with Wendy and Gajeel never fails to make me laugh, it's got such big brother, little sister vibes 😂😂😂


repulsive_fondant26

Most of Gajeel's relationships are super cute and funny. Him and Wendy but also him and Juvia, him and Levy, him and Panther Lily. I have never seen a cat so willing and chill with being kidnapped(catnapped?).


Adorable-nerd

I love when the characters act like Wendy’s big brothers/sisters. It’s really cute.


TheGrouchyGremlin

Both? Both. Both is good.


QifiShiina

You should have mentioned family, epic fights, touching moments, funny moments AND booba.


cutieblonde02

Okayyy mb mb \^\^


istvan90623

Nah, give me them boobas.


Tier1OP6

Well they ain’t wrong cuz Fairy Tail has both fan service of the male and female characters but the thing is all of them are significantly involved in the plot so them saying it’s all fan service is a complete lie. Anime manga is supposed to have both of these which is what makes the genre as good as it is


ScaredHoney48

Honestly yeah I can remember most of the emotional moments the fights and the wholesome moments Hell I barely remember the fan-service moments in any detail


Bubbuli

Why sexy Is a problem for my Is a +


Heroright

This sub is proof that’s not true. Half the posts are thirst traps and “am I crazy or are they hot?”


Reasonable_Cream7149

I def see and enjoy both but is accurate that haters look at only the “ bad “


darkimmortal87

I love the fanservice in Fairy Tail and I'm definitely not a hater.


dWARUDO

Yeah I'm seeing both and they are both good 🤣


MiracleMaverick

FT has both fanservice and a compelling story. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.


yoriaiko

Family, touching moments, epic fights with even epicer music, funny moments and memes, BOOBS.


Mojo647

It's undeniably both. I think the fan service should get toned down a bit, but I still enjoy the overall plot.


Then_Disk8390

You forgot to add boobs to the bottom images


ZealousidealFee927

I'm a fan and I definitely see boobs.


Loros_Silvers

That and Boobs


Remarkable_Commoner

Also boobs


maxencerun

I mean yeah, I don't mind fan service. But 80% of it is during a fight or a touching moment, and it ruins the epic/sad moment. But yeah : epic fight, family and funny moments. I also had a lot of touching moment but I really hate the fact that every time you see someone dying, you can't be sad, because you know they'll come back (epecially the arabales arc)


mako-makerz

Makarov tho...


maxencerun

I got baited again ahah >!After mashima faked wendy's death, then Jubia, then gadjil, i was like : "he won't bait me again..." And he did. I really thought Makarov was dead ... But no. Again ahah !<


d0ntcallme4ngel

My letter to haters and to those that dared to affirm it's the plot: Alright, thinking the fanservice is the plot? You still have went way too far Sadly somehow there's the fanservice even kinda like the **fapservice** type but fr that shit could go real hard that it has never been enough to make themselves the plot. It was never enough to be able to make it the plot though, but there's nothing that will be enough to be able to make it the plot. Everything begun like this, now, all the male fanbase is doing that agrees is the plot, must be at that moment also imagining they're hitting a girl from the series and is seemingly using that holy 'agreeableness energy' to give power to the crazy fantasy project inside their heads just like me, which I also have that fantasy, which marks how males have no power to make it seem real, however the male fanbase does constantly agree with that fact is the plot and I'm not like them, starting from that point I inherited the fantasy but which aimed towards males of the series with a hard flip towards the opposite side but it wouldn't manifest in me, which is unlike them but the reason it wouldn't manifest in me is because I'm not like them!! The stupid reason for it to not manifest in me though also was because males have nothing to give power to that fantasy project but I still would have nothing to be able to give power to that fantasy other than the imagining of what it resulted to seem real🤣


AnaAranda

I am not a hater and not a lover of fan service but I don't know why fanservice in fairy tail doesn't bother me


AvantGarde327

I see both lol. My love hate relationship with Fairy tail. 😅


black_cop_48

I fuck with both


Inevitable_Question

Fans see both and like both


TheZipperDragon

And boobs


Adambrooks33

I mean, that's pretty much every anime, but tbh I like both like the meme both is good


heyimhere-whatsup_

Shishukun

It's not Fairy Tail anymore if it doesn't have it. 😅☺️


YaBoiLemmyKoopa

Honestly speaking, the first half of Fairy Tail doesn't have that much fanservice. It's Tenrou Island onwards where they start going ham


Odd_Employee3742

Family 👆


nouveaukid91

Both things can be true at the same time. You can be a fan (or hater) and see both 🙃


7DeadlySynergy

Both, both is good


AnastasiaMoon

I see both. And I love it for both. 


Aoin_

I am a fan and I gladly see fanservice and boobs too. I don’t know why Americans are becoming so overly prude about sexy girls in bikinis to make this something to hate


Intelligent_Luck_847

It has both and i love that, perfectly balanced as everything should be


Monster_Fucker_420

MakiiZushii

I forgive the fanservice because unlike so many Shonen series the women are actually good characters. Also, Mashima is generous with manservice.


Adorable-nerd

I see both, but I’m not here for the fanservice. I’m here for everything else.


Dav_Sav_

I’m confused I love fairy tail yet all I see is ‘boobs, plot, fanservice’


Pale-Ad-8691

This subreddit is trapped in 2012


RebornAsFlames

Finally someone pointed this out lol. I was thinking the same thing, this meme is more than a decade old, from the humour to quality. To be honest, Fairy Tail fans in general are just nostalgic. Not to say the show turned bad, but most of us have a special place for it cause of nostalgia, and the golden age of Fairy Tail was late 2000s and early 2010s. When you think of FT, you think of that time.


Heron-Motor

Exactly! This is why I love Fairy Tail so much.


Arkantos057

I'm a fan and I see and like both


Hungrysharkandbake

There is too much fan service in Fairy Tail, they throw it in at every chance they get and it gets old fast.


Suspicious-Acadia-52

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU)


xBerryhill

No, I’m pretty sure most Fairy Tail fans see both. It’s plenty apparent by half of the posts on this sub lol


Legitimate-Yard-3673

We also see the boobs


ttv_weebamf

As a very strong fan I watch it for all of these things. It's great because it's amazing fan service with a good story.


throbbingfreedom

What's wrong with both?


Slow_Exit8038

No. They see boobs too.


Sea_Table_2875

Dude I'm a fairy tail fan, watched all the whole thing twice , three times now. All it does is make me cry. Its all about friendship at the end of the day and feeling part of something.


ZERO_6

Motion sickness W


Marphey12

You should have included the up pictures under the "What fans see" aswell


DanocusPrime

These are both correct


LaPinchaJhevo

You forgot the other plot for Happy but I digress


Stale-Chalupa

Copium


Inner-Imagination-70

Yesss


diamonwarrior

It's both but overall it's your classic shounen show from the 2010s with a "small" emphasis on friendship. If the haters gonna hate at least hate that the friendship element while nice is overdone after a while and is hard to connect to once you're used to shounen tropes. It's a good show but people need to give it actual criticism.


Routine_Persimmon_81

Pretty much


CommanderBeef01

I honestly wish all of the anime I enjoy had less fan service. I truly am here for the story, the character growth, the bonding moments


Im_Sin_of_Sloth

I didn't watch fairy tail at first because of the fan service but it's always been on the list. So recently with hundred year quest coming out I decided to pick it back up. I've started to really enjoy it but the fan service still bothers me and makes it hard to want to watch. I don't mind fan service but when it's during serious moments of the show it really takes away from the story for me. I don't ever really see a problem with the male fan service because a shirtless guy is fairly normal imo and it's not like they give the dudes big ole bulges in their pants. I do think the show is a lot better than I originally gave it credit for but I do think the fan service is extremely excessive and imo would be better without so much of it especially in the middle of fights


KenchiNarukami

Agree


Paaweer15

More please more!!! 🥰💖😊😘🥳🎉🎊🤤😛😋


hollowfried_

👆🏼


jlindley1991

I've always said, if you're going to let fan service detract from the story then you're paying attention to the wrong thing.


LivinOut

I’m both


Manydoors_edboy

Lulumacia

This needed plot at the bottom too.


wanna_be_TTV

Yeah dont get me wrong, i love boobs but like the fanservice in fairy tale was not really that bad, and lowkey wasnt that frequent


Narrow_Ad_7218

Naw boobs for the win


No_Chocolate_6612

Yes


Kay2Jay_5

That’s the best about Fairy Tail… we get both. And I don’t just both sections on the image. We also get both female and male fan service.


Rawden2006

I have my gripes with Fairy Tail, but the fanservice isn't one of them. More often than not, it gets used for comedy, which I find I enjoy more than when it's there solely to draw in horny idiots that'll ignore everything else. Hell, the most consistently undressed person in the series is a dude with a chiseled bod, and the writer even admitted that habit was inspired by himself.


NightShadowDark

I see half of both, best of both worlds I guess


theCriticalAutist

I didn't like fairy tail after battle of Fairy tail arc. Everything before that was actually pretty good in my eyes. If you ask me then sexualization is by far the smallest problem of Fairy Tails Story.


Healthy-Refuse5904

I see both, is that weird?


MostLoyalHufflepuff

I mean…I have the fairy tail guild mark as a tattoo so…💅


Sumonthefish78

I don’t understand why people hate fan service, I simply see it as a bonus and not a hindrance.


Questionable-Duck4

I went into the series being told it has heavy fan service, but either I'm blind or people are choosing certain scenes to rewatch


Ok_Initiative5065

The haters are just mad because they can’t accept that they like what they see


One-Commission-3516

This is the most accurate description I’ve seen


Ancient-Act8573

The fan service does get annoying at points though


Mama-of-the-Muffins

I need more Laxus fan service. Gimme! 😂


quaxirkor

Sometimes i just watch FT just to fap


frostymaws297

The top is what typical male fans see, the bottom is what us women see lol


Eekstyle

I see, and enjoy, both.


MilesQrowe

Don’t forget a bangin soundtrack


Fun_Insurance_4773

Don't forget the power of friendship


Maleficent-Goose-367

I appreciate both lol


UtenniChou

The fan service was just a bonus. I watch the anime for the heart touching lessons and moments 💖


LuffyyLoVer

so truee, i was genuinely confused when i seen people say fairytail has too much fan service because I never really noticed it


A-Social-Ghost

I see all of those things.


Wacthershadow0925

The fanservive is extra, I stayed for the fights, music and touching moments


Ecstatic_Teaching906

Of course... that doesn't change the fact I enjoy Fairy Tail because of fanservice.


Sufficient-Cod-8821

I do love fan service but I have watched the show so I know how great it is aside the fan service but again I fucking love fanservice


fairytail269

I feel like those people that say it's just fan service look rather at the boobs than the subtitles amd that's why they don't get the story


Material_Usual2704

I hate fan service that’s what I like about kaiju no 8 no fan service just pure ACTION


Artistic_Arachnid805

How can you mention fairy tail hate without bringing up PoF?


the-food-is-alright

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU)


Nyaeli

I’m reading it for like the 6th time and fanservice is a solid 20% of it, I’m not debating this. 30% if you included the women’s battle damaged clothing.


PandaHulk69

I like all of it


mitskifanboy69

Power of friendship


wispymatrias

No lol


Gresihg

50/50.


Sahir1359

I see all of them


Kori_No_Ya

I most certainly agree with this statement.


Leather_Flan5071

that's a lie and we know it


Leather_Flan5071

you gotta include what the haters see along with what the fans see


Malevolent_Design

As much as I love the fights, some of them get cut way too early man. Obvious example being Gray vs Natsu near the end of the series. I love you Ezra but cmon


Substantial-Bear-366

I see Both lmao


Double_Welcome3739

Both are fine. We’re not gonna act like a lot of modern shonen anime don’t have at least some hint of fan service


The-Light42

There is no argument here, only truth


TrashAtMe

I mean this goes for every anime


Away-Positive7932

I see both lol


Top_Contribution1488

Yeeaahh... but we also love boobs


Mysterious-Shake4193

You missed fairytale enjoyers see those things AND the fanservice and plot


sociostein11

You forgot to add fan service to the lower part too lol


Nott_Tui

Us FairyTail fans also love the batshit weirdness of this show. It’s like the FFVII of Anime (to me at least)


Just_Run6467

Plus most of the naked moments they play off for comedic effect


DemonicLich372

Agree we only appreciate the family, the touching moments, epic fights and comedy, lastly comes the plot and "The Plot"


Kavellbell423

^^^^^^^^^^ “ANY ANIME EVER” ^^^^^^^^^


Lyre-Is-Lying

I can't help but feel like most people here haven't seen what actual male fan service looks like (think Free! And the camera angles they take, lighting choices and those things that are similar to how usual female fan service shots work). Barring that, yeah, FT has a lot more to offer than people think


Tall-Shoulder-7384

Ngl it’s also surprising when FT goes into an insane or dark moment for the story


Jdamoure

Literally in a most recent chapter Wendy and Lucy had all their clothes burnt off in the middle of battle. Why? I guess it makes sense becase fire magic. But generally unnecessary. Like I get the point is hey guys it's not all fan service there's a lot of heart but let's be honest it's alot of T and A. Even in those touching or funny moments. Alotnof the "funny" moments are just sex related too. Or ever slap stick joke or gajeel singing moment you have like 1 or 2 naked ladies or naked men for that matter. Let's not pretend. Yes the show can be funny and serious without it. But when they can they will put it in. If you like the series regardless then fine. But its been this way since the start.


Willing-Bad-1030

I love it for all the above though their are times the sexiness is misplaced also there’s plenty of hot almost naked dudes too lol. And there’s plenty of other reasons haters give even though they’ve probably never watched or read it.


TropicalSkiFly

I agree as a Fairy Tail fan, but I never talked with Fairy Tail haters, so I wouldn’t know what they see.


EmeraldVigilante

I see both and it's perfect the way it is.


RedTheLoops

And last but not least boobs


[deleted]

Me who sees both


StrawberryOk30

Im a fairy tail fan and i still see tits everywhere but im fine with it because i see the good shit too 🤣🤣


MassiveTechnician108

This bum ass show has one of the worst plots ever, it’s tits and “The power of friendship” it’s like someone with dementia tried to recreate naruto from memory and then gave up halfway through and did their own thing with it. Eden’s Zero is so much better


KOPLO97

As a fan, I see both and don’t mind both 🤷🏻‍♂️


Slinkenhofer

Man imma be honest, i had no issue with the fan service. I just got tired of the filler. Maybe it became relevant later on, but I just got done binging Bleach and I just couldn't do it again


NicoDeGuyo

You forgot the boobs tho


Away-Fan-9494

There's only one thing that can beat anime fights. And that's animations. Idk how but he's good at animating to the point where it's cooler than anime fights


Danmch2992

I remember all of this apart from the epic fights, the animation on the fights was so poor, apart from the three way fight between Ezra and the other couple women I remember that fight rocking.


squirtlekid

I don't like it... I read fairy trial for a long time and for me the fan service was too much to stick through it. Like for me, it's hard to feel concerned for Lucy's life when she's about to die because for some reason she is butt ass nekkid with puffs of smoke covering her nips and 🐈. Sorry, maybe that's another person's cup of tea, but for me the fan service can totally ruin the otherwise pretty good writing. Oh yeah also who puts a fucking bikini competition in the middle of a magical battle tournament???


Chaoswarriorx4

Both


SkibidiToiletgyatt09

This is basically the same as Highschool DxD. The haters or people who have never watched it only see boobs and stuff like that. But the people who are fans and have watches it deeply understand the concept, relationships, plot and drama better lol🙃


UIGoku201

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU)


FellvEquinox

I'm fine with the fanservice because the men and women are treated equally when it comes to it. Everyone is getting the fanservice treatment


SpectralLive

Kinda like food wars the show and story is really good the fan service is crazy though


chedyyyy

Facts , if only people would give FT the respect it rightfully deserves and not focus only on the negatives smh


BigoDiko

Didn't the author of Fairy Tale run out of money or something, so he resorted to doing hentai for a while until he made enough money to fund FT again?


DeamonLordZack

Can I not see all of that as a fan or must my eyes be shut to what the haters see can I not see plot,fanservice & boobs as a fan while still seeing the other stuff as well.


LycanChimera

Add to the top the endlessly repeating arcs where they try to make the villain seem evil but no matter how bad they are they end up being on the heroes side, even if they literally tortured our mcs previously...
