Fanservice is Our Service

Listen to the episode in iTunes!

Shownotes:

Fanservice is something we see a lot in animation. Seeing out-of-place nudity in a cartoon can be funny or cringe-worthy. In this episode we’ll be talking a lot about not only fanservice, but nudity in animation and the cultural differences between Eastern and Western countries it reflects.
