Beats masturbating to a pocket copy of the Constitution, I suppose.
*on topic* for someone who watches a ton of anime/reads manga, 'fan service' can be very, very annoying. Sometimes you can roll with it, because it's just silly/cheeky (Strike Witches) but I do love it when a producer goes out of their way to deliberately remove any fan service or 'ecchi' from the animation ('Sword Art Online' and 'Girls und Panzer' for instance).
That said, SAO does have a worrying 'big brother/cousin/step-brother' unrequited crush thing, but that's Japanese cultural differences at play.
SHORTER: anime is great, stop masturbating over it!
Hey, my dad carries a pocket copy of the Constitution around!
I have mixed feelings about fanservice. If it's just there to get people turned on, it's usually messed up, but I've seen it done really well as a joke. See anime used for the gif for this post, which is literally an entire running joke in anime form.
For sure – Is This A Zombie and Strike Witches are (probably) right on the envelope of what's knowingly funny, disturbingly silly … or maybe it's because those series send themselves up.
I can usually ignore the mandatory swimsuits/beach episode, but yeah, I've soldiered through some painful series which have been ruined by stupid oversized bouncy breasts and very worrying outfits and side plots.
I guess it's the "male gaze" thing.
The funny thing is I like hentai, I even have a few H-games (nice review site here), but I too find I can't stand stupid cheesecake fanservice!
The latest/final expansion to my JRPG MMO drug of choice is centered around Miss Designated Love Interest. It doesn't seem to matter what the player character's sex is, about one third of all dialog interactions are focused on her breasts and another third on her hips, complete with gratuitous male-gaze camera angles. This on top of the cued crying (because Mary Sue waifus have to be vulnerable to be attainable), the stiffly choreographed movements more at home in Idolm@ster than in anything that's supposed to seem alive, and all this jammed into a bunch of wonderfully contrived "shared moments" that leave you thinking that the writers would really rather be writing a dating sim.
So now, in my esteem, she's gone from "mildly annoying" to "Can I kill her now?" She can handle herself in a fight, but every time I want to see her, well, my sword hand sometimes has a mind of its own.
Saw that live last night and could hardly believe my ears. Would've made a post of it but the Hayes' show is unlinkable and/or unfindable. Or it may be on Facebook which would amount to the same thing for me.

Sometimes a series doesn't even know it's going too far and is unintentionally hilarious: http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/…
But luckily we have the internet, where someone would do this to that scene.

Just because they have no brains does not make boobs stoopid! Though they do tend to render me stupid, so there's that.

The difference is that anime isn't all I clop to!
