/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>16339220
I don't mean panties literally always being shown Strike Witches/Aika style, but a character that wears some sort of outfit that would show them off a lot, or something you'd see in an erogame probably but as normal clothes, since that guy was talking about the character design being more otaku pandering. That one chick from Saki's one outfit (pic related) probably fits what I mean, though I gather that Saki is a fanservercy series in general.

>New Game.
>there are quite a few episodes where they show panties.
Anyway, are they(the anime makers) going out of their way to show panties in those episodes and comment on them while panning across them in closeup, or are they just casually showing them off while the character is bending over or something and not really pointing it out? 80-90s had stuff like that(fanservice focus scenes) too, but they also had like... casual lewdness?
Oh, I think Sekai Seifuku would qualify. It's definitely otakuish and doesn't really go out of the way to be lewd while still having characters that basically, actually literally, walk around in underwear.

Btw
>if you're talking about moe slice of life shows.
I don't know if the original guy meant moe as in exclusively slice of life, but action things are included for me. Most of the 80s-90s shows I was thinking of was about were about cute girls doing action things anyway.

I'm not sure how much Sekai Seifuku qualifies on the moe girl front though. It's a show that's full of moe girls, but there's a male protag, even if he looks like a girl too. But then that's probably to make him seem non threatening, so it probably does apply after all. Its definitely otaku oriented at the least.

Anyway it's not really meaningful to compare to slice of life shows in that way, I guess, since the point was anime moved to those kinds of shows to pander to otaku with cuteness and innocence, so it's kind of weird to say "here's a slice of life with panty shots a-plenty". Basically, I got off track myself.

My point should be about moving from those kinds of pandering of pointlessly sexual character designs to pure ones because anime became about pandering with pure characteristics, about that creating a division between these pure shows and ecchi fanservice shows without much mixing, and that people who say anime is more pandering(in the sense of 'anime is now sexualized moe garbage') now are incorrect. It's much less sexualized moe garbage and more pure and innocent moe garbage, at least among shows featuring lots of cute girls. Hence, you don't really get those kinds of designs much anymore outside of anime specifically about lewd characters.
