Let's all point at the newbie...
Hello, obligatory newbie post. But, I come bearing a mini-wank.

Anime Fanservice... Probably listed under things you should not ask about at a gaming board...

Guardians of Order is a company that makes roleplaying books, among them an anime role-playing system called Big Eyes Small Mouth. They maintain message board on their sites where fans can exchange information.

It isn't unusual to see fans as for anime recommendations, and that's how it started. A new member asked about anime he could watch with his girlfriend -- with one minor stipulation. His girlfriend equated female nudity/fanservicy shots with sexism, so he asked for series that didn't have any of that. While we were all mentally running through our anime colections to check for nudity, some comments were made on the peculiarity of the request... well... it spiraled downward and became the Big Battle between this Guy and his Repressed Hyper-Sensitive Girlfriend and the Intolerant Misogynist Bigots.
