[[File:YokoMsFanservice.png|link=Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|frame|[[Male Gaze|BEHOLD!]]]]
* Ash's female companions in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' are basically supposed to be this to younger viewers, according to [[Word of God]].
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* Virtually every female character in ''[[Gunbuster]]''.
* Sayaka Yumi from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' (especially in the fourth episode). In the original series it was more prevalent in the manga than in the anime. The busty yet brainy twins, Loru and Lori, from the manga from ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' and ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' also gave good examples. Jun Hono from ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' also suffered from it.
* The Dark Magician Girl of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' is ''the'' incarnation of fanservice for the series. Long blonde hair, bright green/blue eyes, an outfit cut low on her breasts, which are round and large, a very short skirt
** And hey, pick pretty much any female duel monster, there's tons of them with designs of all imaginable fetishes.
** Mai Valentine, to the point it's a [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''. Midriff-baring corset, miniskirt, ankle boots, large breasts, and more. Tea is more subtle but is still very shapely, and her outfits usually consist of a miniskirt or shorts with stockings to emphasize her ''very'' long legs, and sleeveless shirts showing off her bare shoulders.
** Asuka/Alexis in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|GX]]''—big breasts, a dangerously short skirt, and long legs which are further complemented with a pair of ankle boots. She actively tries to avoid that title, but the love-struck characters won't let her. In the manga, her boobs are even bigger, not helped by the fact her introductory shot is a low angle, and an entire duel centers around her winning a beauty
** ''Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's'' with Aki/Akiza, Large breasts, a victorian-style outfit with a long coat, a corset and stockings, long red hair. Early in the series she's pretty much the poster girl for [[Black Magician Girl]], being a sadist who takes joy in causing pain and suffering by manifesting her cards for real—keep in mind most of Aki's cards are plants and thus an attack from them is usually in the form of [[Combat Tentacles]]. And then there's her skin-tight low-cut leather riding duel uniform...
* Faye Valentine from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''. Of course, the only other female member of the main cast is a tomboyish 13-year old, and it's hinted that [[Distracted by the Sexy|Faye may be doing it deliberately]].
* The mountainous [[Cool Big Sis|Rangiku Matsumoto]] on ''[[Bleach]]'' is hardly shy about bringing up her godly assets in regular conversation, while the exhibitionist [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Yoruichi Shihoin]] has no qualms over strutting around bare-ass naked in public at random points, the aggressive [[Hot Mom|Ikumi Unagiya]] is an adult-type Tsundere with a biker chick outfit, and the fetishistic [[The Ladette|Kukaku Shiba]] has damn-near every single mainstream
** In episode 352 we get a huge fanservice shot of Jackie Tristan's crotch while she fights Ichigo.
** Furthermore, the shameless [[Alas, Poor Villain|Tia Halibel]] seems to prefer wearing [[Stripperific]] outfits for practically the entire time she's on-screen; the antagonistic [[Dark Action Girl|Cirucci Thunderwitch]] wears a Gothic Lolita dress and exhibits a sadistic dominatrix-type personality, complete with a whip as her main weapon; the playful [[Catgirl|Haineko]] flirts with and teases various characters of both genders alike, regardless of sexuality.
** [[Genki Girl|Orihime Inoue]] often wears outfits that seem tailor-made to show off her curvy, busty figure... but in practice, she's a subversion, since more often than not said outfits are rather modest, compared to clothes that other girls wear in the series. In example, her [[Woman in White|Hueco Mundo white dress]] is ''very'' form-fitting, yet at the same time it covers her whole body pretty much from chin to toes. And also, when she ''does'' wear more revealing clothes, they often
** One episode turns virtually every female character (that is reasonably considered to be of age) into Ms Fanservice.
** Rukia can be seen as pretty fanservicy too (no matter how some of her fans deny it). While she has [[Pettanko|a rather flat chest]] ([[Petite Pride|which is kinda fanservicy in itself]]), she gets quite the focus in regards to [[She's Got Legs|her gorgeous legs]] and [[Does Not Wear Shoes|her often bare feet.]]
** Given that nearly the entirety of the series' cast is
* While Misato Katsuragi is not the only source of fanservice in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', she embodies this trope so well that she even makes jokes about it in the voiceover for several of the series' [[Post Episode Trailer]]s. [[Jerkass]] Asuka is the second main source, and it's intentional on the character's part. Her [[Freudian Excuse]] has the effect of making her a total
** Misato actually gives surprisingly little fanservice throughout the series, making her [[Post Episode Trailer]] fanservice promises more a case of [[Trailers Always Lie]] than anything.
** Rei Ayanami is a cross between this and [[Fetish
* Fujiko from ''[[Lupin III]]'' would have to be included, given that Misato and Faye are more than slightly "[[Spiritual Successor|inspired]]" by her.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' has [[Dark Action Girl|Revy]], who can show off her legs [https://web.archive.org/web/20090222072030/http://www.onemanga.com/Black_Lagoon/0/45/ that] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100403115854/http://www.onemanga.com/Black_Lagoon/13/02/ many] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090321210609/http://www.onemanga.com/Black_Lagoon/14/07/ times] and yet still be a relevant character.
* Sakura Yamazaki in ''[[Blue Seed]]'' (although the other female characters certainly are attractive, she is the only one who flaunts it).
* Weda, the [[Hot Mom]] and [[
* Mikuru, the resident [[
** Haruhi herself is another example. She does seem to like her bunny outfit a lot, and more generally has no problem showing off her figure.
* Tsunade from ''[[Naruto]]''. She's got a huge rack and only wears [[Absolute Cleavage]] outfits.
** Anko Mitarashi. She wears only a fishnet underneath her [[Badass Longcoat]].
** Kurenai Yuhi, in one of the openings Jiraiya stops to
** Ino. After the [[Time Skip]], she also wears fishnet like Anko. Still, even before the timeskip, when she was twelve, she seemed to wear only about cloth straps as underwear and bra underneath her (scantily, compared to the other similarly-aged characters) clothes.
** Mei Terumī. That is all.
** Naruto. [[Gender Bender|At times.]]
** Karin wears extremely tight short shorts and cultivated a, er, sultry attitude for Sasuke's benefit.
** Sakura is very
* Most of the women in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' are large-chested and wear tight outfits, but it's especially noticeable with [[Bottle Fairy]] Sumeragi and [[Anime Chinese Girl]] Liu Mei. The first season could be particularly blatant about it, especially early on, while the second one was somewhat more prudent. Then there's Nena Trinity - An [[Evil Redhead]] with large breasts dressed in [[Sensual Spandex]] [[Zettai Ryouiki|and long socks/boots]].
** Meer Campbell from ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', a war orphan with large boobs and a great singing voice who is hired to become Lacus Clyne's [[Body Double]]. While Lacus's public image was that of a sweet and kind [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]], Meer took it for the [[Hotter and Sexier]] route.
* Shown as the page's exhibit picture is Yoko from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', a [[Small Girl, Big Gun|shapely young woman with a sniper rifle]], a [[Scarf of Asskicking]] and a flame-painted [[Walking Swimsuit Scene|bikini top]] with [[Who Wears Short Shorts?|teensy shorts]] and [[Zettai Ryouiki|stockings]]....and very little else. Her [[Beach Episode]] swimsuit is less revealing than her normal outfit. And later on she got a short video titled ''Pieces of Sweet Stars'' that's basically just an excuse to show off how hot Yoko really is, going all the way to show her ''topless'' and well-tanned (on the beach).
** Post-timeskip Nia also counts, what with the outfit as the {{spoiler|Anti-Spiral Messenger}}.
* Rushuna Tendo from ''[[Grenadier]]''. Her manga incarnation may very well be the Grand Poobah of Fanservice. Even the way she [[Unorthodox Reload|reloads her revolver]] is fanservice.
Line 85 ⟶ 84:
** This even happens a lot in the series itself, from her [[Stripperific|stage outfits]], including an [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] shot ''on stage'' (holographic), to [[Godiva Hair]], [[Shower Scene|ShowerScenes]], and an entire ''episode'' devoted to [[Fan Service]] (nearly all of it of her). She's not the worst offender on this example list by far, but generally if there's a [[Fan Service]] shot in [[Macross Frontier]], it's probably of her.
** From the second opening? We should have figured this out before we even saw the ''first'' opening. In fact, we should have known this [[Hello Boys|from the very beginning]].
** [[The Movie]] cranks it [[Up to Eleven]] with her concert, which has so many
* Elisabeta aka Petrushka from ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''.
* Lady Susan in ''[[Zatch Bell]]'', whose name in the Japanese version is... well... [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Big Boing]].
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
** And for the non-loli crowd, her familiar is also pretty well rounded?
** Not to mention Fate again after getting older.
* [[Evil Is Sexy|Lust]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
** Also [[Hot Mom|Sloth]] to a certain degree. (Specifically, the one from the first anime, [[Gonk|not the second.]])
** [[Shorttank|Win]][[Bare Your Midriff|ry]] too.
** And Riza.
* Machiko Mai form ''[[Maichinngu Machiko Sensei]]'' got a panty shot (or MUCH more) [[Once an Episode]]. She doesn't like it ''at all'',
* Honey Kisaragi, the main character of the ''[[Cutey Honey]]'' franchise (unsurprisingly, given that she was created by [[Go Nagai|the man]] who invented anime fanservice). Her default 'hero' outfit has a [[Cleavage Window]] that borders on [[Absolute Cleavage]], and in ''[[Cutie Honey The Live]],'' her outfit is [[Hell-Bent for Leather|a leather one]] that shows off ''all'' her features just perfectly while still being mostly cartoon-accurate. And she takes the [[Magical Girl]] [[Transformation Sequence]] to a new level - the transformation mechanism actually makes her clothes disintegrate and reintegrate in a new form, leaving her quite naked for a good few seconds while in
** [[Go Nagai]] also happened to invent ''[[Kekko Kamen]]'', a more, ahem, blatant example.
* Fujiko from ''[[Zettai Karen Children]]'' goes out of her way to show lots of legs & boobs, despite being the highest-ranking officer (and president) of BABEL. One scene even has her giving orders while being barefooted and wearing an ultra short miniskirt for no good reason whatsoever.
* ''[[Please Teacher!]]'': Mizuho Kazami. Dear gods, the voluptuous redhead that is Mizuho Kazami!
** [[Hot Mom|Her mother Hatsuho]] far outshines her (and she's over 40 and looking even ''hotter'').
* ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' has Carmen 99 and Fasalina.
* Yanagi and Fuuko serve this purpose in ''[[Flame of Recca]]'', aside from their other roles as [[The Medic]] [[Love Interest]] and [[Action Girl]] respectively.
* Sedusa and Ms. Bellum in ''[[Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z]]'' definitely fit this trope.
* Sanae Nakajima, the [[Meganekko]] from ''[[Sumomomo Momomo]]'' is the heir of the horse family of martial artists. Most of the horse family's fighting style involves kicks, so Sanae is constantly strengthening her legs and thighs... And then there's the family heirloom, a [[Fetish
* Melinda from ''[[Somedays Dreamers]]'' gets a lot of [[Male Gaze|shots of her in a miniskirt]], and she is not shy of showing off her cleavage either. Curiously, main character Yume is not far behind in that regard, even though she is much younger and therefore not quite as well endowed.
* Any of the [[DearS]] are Ms. Fanservice really, but the [[Christmas Cake|TEACHER]] in that series, [[Gainaxing|OH MY GOD]]! She [[The Glomp|glomps]] nearly [[Marshmallow Hell|
** In the mood for ''[[Christmas Cake]]'' I see.
** It should be noted that in-universe at least, she's ''so'' over-the-top ALL THE TIME that her antics are actually [[Fetish Retardant]] to her students.
Line 112 ⟶ 111:
* Margery Daw from ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' is a very blatant case of this.
* Simca, in ''[[Air Gear]]''. ''All. The. Time.''
** Almost ''every'' ''[[Air Gear]]'' girl, actually. Kururu and Ringo have their moments as well, and Kururu's [[Wrench Wench]] friends are pretty much ''all'' naked at some point.
* Senou Natsuru in ''[[Kämpfer]]''. The twist? He attracts the fanservice part in his [[Attractive Bent Gender|Kampfer girl form.]]
* While not exactly as revealing as other examples, Yuuko of ''[[
* Ryoko from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]
** Not to mention Nagi during the beach episode of ''[[Tenchi Universe]]''. Solely to piss off Ryoko.
* The older girls and women in ''[[Soul Eater]]'' fit this.
** Blair is practically the incarnation of this. And thanks to the Book of Eibon, she's [[Mr. Fanservice|both]].
* Mylene Hoffman/Agent 009-1 from ''[[009-1|Zero Zero Nine One]]'' often goes to mission briefings wearing a really short skirt, tends to wear [[Modesty Bedsheet]]s as a [[Sexy Backless Outfit]] and her ample breasts double as machine guns that cause [[Clothing Damage]] when she fires them.
* Lum from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' is definitely this. Her normal outfit is a tiger stripe bikini. [[She's Got Legs]] and [[Bare Your Midriff]] going for her. Granted, she isn't nearly so outright and openly super sexy and suggestive like the other examples. However, she somehow manages to be very enticing and quite attractive the whole time.
* Lucy/Nyuu from ''[[Elfen Lied]]''. Even when Lucy is being [[Ax Crazy]], there are frequent frames zooming in on her cleavage. She's also frequently seen naked. Nyuu takes it even further with her fondness of her breasts being touched. Her cleavage is toned down in the anime adaption [[All Men Are Perverts|unfortunately.]]
* Although all of the girls in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' get their fair amount of fanservice, Satella is extremely flirty and well aware of her good looks, as well as the curviest woman in the entire series. And in the manga, she's also a [[Shotacon]], which means she spends a lot of the series giving Chrono [[Marshmallow Hell|special]] [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma|attention]].
* Lamia from ''[[Maō Dante|Demon Lord Dante]]'', pretty obvious there would be at least one since it's [[Go Nagai]]. While Medusa does wander around half-dressed-to-naked most of the time since her cover in the human world is as a model, Lamia wears a fetish-y outfit that, with her dark grey skin and long ears, make her resemble a Drow. And then there's the fact her raison d'être is to have Dante's babies and conquer the world with them. Fortunately for humanity, he thinks with the head on top.
* Naomi Flugel from ''Zoids/ZERO''
** Kotona Elegance and Re Mii of ''[[Zoids Genesis]]'' fame would go on and take the title from her.
** Moonbay and Adult Fiona from ''Zoids: Chaotic Century'' fit the trope to a tee. Especially adult Fiona...given how her outfit seems to put her... assets in full view.
* ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]'': Hideyoshi fits this trope perfectly. The series is even aware of it, as whenever there is a possible point to insert fanservice, they make sure she is there. Dressed in various costumes including nurse and maid, and appears as the round girl (girl holding up the round number) in various suggestive positions and clothes. The only part that doesn't fit is her flat chest, but for some, that's also an appealing factor... Wait.... [[Wholesome Crossdresser|HE'S]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|A]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|GUY]]?
* Mizuki Tachibana from ''[[Gravion]]'', seriously [http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3881/65603685.jpg look at the clothing she wears]. Couple that with the all the [[Gainaxing]], [[Male Gaze]] and [[Clothing Damage]], she might as well be called
* [[Femme Fatale|Junko]] from ''[[Desert Punk]]'' invokes to trope to get other [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|mercenieries to do her job for her]].
* Female assassin Yuki from ''[[SEX]]'' likes to wear leather and latex bondage gear and extra high heels on missions. She's also seen lounging around half-naked, for no reason whatsoever. Main character Kaho is also this, increasingly often as the story progresses.
* ''[[Inuyasha
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' has Erza and Lucy.
* ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' has plenty but a special mention goes to Tomo; DEAR GOD THOSE BOOBS!!!
** She has no problem being topless in front of a stranger holding her hostage.
* ''[[To LOVE-Ru
* ''[[Darker than Black
* Misaki of ''[[Kaichou wa Maid-sama]]'', aside from having to work at a [[Maid Cafe]]. She has been caught in a couple of indecent incidents.
* The subject of most of the fanservice in ''[[Birdy the Mighty]]'' is its title character, Birdy Cephon Altera.
** More to the point, [[Invoked Trope|this is how she makes her living,]] as her alter ego Arita Shion. As herself, though, the
* Blue Rose from ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]''. A bit of a unique situation in that she's well aware that her attire is rather risque and even her parents comment on how it might be inappropriate. However, since she's a superhero sponsored by Pepsi, ''they'' choose what she wears.
** This is more of a [[Deconstructed Trope]], considering that she's marketed as a mix of [[Faux Action Girl]] (she does have [[An Ice Person|decent ice powers]], but her fanservicy outfit puts serious hampers on her fighting skills and she doesn't have much hand-to-hand skill) and [[Romanticized Abuse]]r (people think she's a hot dominatrix, but she's ''as much'' a [[Tsundere]])... and she '''hates''' it, due to how far her public image is from her real personality.
* Kureha from ''[[Tokko]]''. She likes to walk around topless with only a [[No Shirt, Long Jacket|unzipped leather jacket]] covering her, a jacket that tends to come open in fight scenes.
* Shizuki Kumiko form ''[[Gekkoh]]''. A [[Hot Chick with a Sword|Yakuza schoolgirl]] whose body seems far to adult for her school uniform.
* Hannah from the second ''[[Black Butler]]'' anime [[Vapor Wear|doesn't wear underwear under her dress]] save for [[Of Corsets Sexy|a corset]], has big boobs and hips, has a very beautiful face (save for [[Eye Scream|an eye of hers]]), and gets frequent [[Clothing Damage]].
** Beast of the Circus arc.
* A few females in ''[[
* Toyed with in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]],'' since the female characters ''do'' have more than one trace and yet the males are ''way'' more sexualised than they are. ([[Double Standard|And yet the fans sometimes slutshame the girls and "forget" how the dudes are way more fanservicy]]). The closest to the trope and the most prominent would be Hungary ([[Ninja Maid]], [[Action Girl]], occasional [[Bifauxnen]], shown in [[Chainmail Bikini]], with [[Boobs of Steel]]) and maybe Belarus ([[Elegant Gothic Lolita]], [[
** Zigzagged with [[Cool Big Sis|Belgium]] who is the only female in the 2010 Christmas Bloodbath to be shown in her bra in-comic, but in a sketch on the author's blog was shown covered in a blanket, saying that it wasn't going further than that. Other than that incident, she is usually drawn in very conservative outfits.
** [[Ninja Maid|Hungary]] and [[Anime Chinese Girl|Taiwan]] recently got a [[Hot Springs Episode|Hot Springs Strip]] together.
* ''[[Rail Wars!]]'' has [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Koumi]] - the other main and recurring female characters take turns providing their share of [[Fan Service]], but Koumi provides more than any two others. (For one thing, it seems that Koumi has never heard of a sports bra. For another, she suffers a large amount of [[Clothing Damage]] in episode 6.)
* Irina Jelavić's sexiness is her best assassination tool in ''[[Assassination Classroom]]''.
* Ryo Fujihashi from ''[[Fire in His Fingertips]]'' is quite voluptuous and has large breasts. Even Souma blushed when he saw her in a bikini as well as a see-through nightgown despite having seen her fully nude previously.
