I personally hate fanservice. My preferences are usually seinen slice of life shows like Uchuu Kyoudai and Natsume Yuujinchou. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed NGNL.

The whole show NGNL seemed to be a satire to all the "popular" animes as of late. Game world? Check. Boobs? Check. Sis-Bro love? Check. "Intelligent" blabberings? Check. OP main chars? Check. The whole show seemed like it didn't take itself seriously and was just there to see if people will enjoy a show that is pretty much a moshpit for all the popular tropes in anime. Even episode 6 which was literally an episode designed to show ecchi didn't take itself seriously. Sora blatantly removes the "unsafeness" of nudity and just unleashes a torrent of nude scenes without the censor filters.

All in all, this show made a perfect satire of itself. I thoroughly enjoyed the show through its onslaught of cliche and fanservice, and I do feel like checking out season 2. This is all personal opinion, but I want to hear you guys' opinion on this outlook.

I kind of dislike pointless fanservice, but the way they integrated it into the story in ep 6 was brilliant. Even when they were messing with Steph it was fine, because that was just like a side effect of them bullying her. Really, the only unnecessary thing were Shiro's pantyshots, but there were only 2 or 3 of them in the entire series, so whatever.

Steph-chan in a sexy doggy get-up is the perfect fanservice.

Enjoyment for NGNL: 7/10 (however don't want or wish for a second season)
Overall rating as an animation/adaptation: 4/10 for reasons that people have agreed with me whenever they don't have their rectum plugged.

I'll admit I'm a bit biased here and there, but all in all, most of the respectable people that disagree with me and love this anime do agree on most of my factual points, that this anime fails to deliver many of it's ideas that it brought in the beginning.

If you want to argue with me only (Which you clearly do since none of your posts have been contributing any sort of argument towards the topic), hit me up in the messages and don't keep bumping these topics that you clearly seem to disagree with.

I liked the show but there was a little bit too much fan service for my tastes, if they cut it all out we'd have a whole episode left for more plot development, I'm hoping for a second series though.

I enjoy fanservice quite a lot so I'm totally okay with it. Eventhough it was unnecessary sometimes and made the plot feel kinda unfocused.

The only thing I really dislike about fanservice is when it treats the viewers like an idiot and/or thinks all its viewers will get off to the most immature ecchi aspects imaginable. NGNL did it with class though, and pretty much purely for comedy so it worked out great. Also all the girls in it are actually pretty cute for once, unlike most ecchi tropes that are 99% boobs and nothing more (I'm looking at you DxD).

Unlike what quite a people seem to think, fan-service isn't an inherently bad thing. It just depends on the amount and how the work utilizes it.

It's only fanservice if you feel turned on by it. ;)

Fanservice doesn't necessarily mean sexual content, it includes everything that the audience would want. That being NGNL was full of fanservice, I mean full of fanservice. I don't mind the usual panty shots or bra shots but for this anime, it annoyed me more than anything. Also, Steph is by far, one of the worst anime characters in existence. Literally no merit whatsoever.

Just because it has all the popular cliches and tropes doesn't make it satire. NGNL never tries to mock or expose the stupidity of these cliches which is what satirical shows do. If anything, NGNL glorifies and benefits from the said cliches.
That being said, I do agree that it isn't supposed to be taken seriously and is just 'dumb fun'
