And I thought the tournament arc was horrible......this takes the cake.
Might as well make this hentai as this point. Tits and vagina were practically shown and it had nothing to do with the story. I can't take this shit seriously at all.
Smh.
Don't you think this is a BIT drastic? I'm looking at your anime list and you pretty much have seen little to no ecchi. Fairy Tail is REALLLLYYYYY mild in comparison to the majority of anime with the 'ecchi' label and is less 'ecchi' than many anime that don't even have the label. But it is certainly not even anywhere remotely close to even being in the same universe as hentai.
I am a feminist (kinda) and yes, fanservice bothers me. However Fairy Tail NEVER took itself seriously. Ever. I'm not sure why anyone tried to take it seriously, honestly. Because of this, the fanservice in Fairy Tail really doesn't detract TOO much, especially since the whole thing feels more like a parody than anything else and when there IS fanservice, they pretty much say "LOL FANSERVICE" right after. Although I admit this most recent chapter was a bit much. Fanservice is generally only a huge issue when a series wants to be taken seriously, such as in Elfen Lied and SAO for example.
That being said, I invite you to go pick up a volume of Ranma 1/2 or even watch the first couple episodes. Full-on nudity, but the anime lacks an ecchi label and while it 'shows' more of the female body than most other harems I consider it to be the only non-sexist harem. Nudity is less of a problem than what they do with it. I consider full-on-nudity far less sexist than a panty shot, for example.
Again- Yes, this chapter was definitely a bit much but come now- Hentai? Really?
