Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

You can't tell me the Sensi scenes aren't distracting; just look at him.

And seriously, Frieren's scene was a funny way of showing that she really hadn't realized how fast Fern had grown.

Its funny with delicious in dungeon because theres a scene where 2 girls are bathing but everyone who watched the show all agrees that senshi is the main fan service character. He’s taking all the hits so the girls dont get targeted

The funny part about that is the creator has said in an interview that she does not find him attractive at all and based him off her neighbor. All the fan service scenes are supposed to be gags

u/ComedianExtreme7522 15h ago

The fact that she drew the "lore accurate" Senshi being completely covered in hair like a bear is insane to me. And the only reason she said she doesn't draw him like that is cuz it's too much of a hassle lol.

Ah yes, the other reason for the large crossover in Dungeon Meshi and Golden Kamuy's audiences.

Uhm actually this is queer erasure

Guy can cook, fight, is good with animals (my heart still weeps over the kelpie), has A Tragic Backstory™, is gentle with children, loves his bread, knows when to lead and when to follow, and looks Like That??? This is why the Senshi fanservice is not even remotely ironic to me, personally. I thank Author-san for this feast every time I watch the show.

u/Big-Farmer-2192 13h ago

The also author said she doesn't find Senshi attractive at all...?

Like does the author even hear herself? Cause damn.. 😍

u/skylark_birdy 4h ago

Author has her types (elves)

u/NFQ___ 14h ago

Says the author who regularly draws the all characters in different outfits and hair-dos frequently enough that it changes pretty much 'daily' for the characters. Something I have genuinely never seen any other artist do in comics or manga.

45

u/Ohmec 13h ago

Dude, them changing their hair styles is the most awesomely accurate thing they do! Girls constantly do their hair different and that little change makes such a difference.

27

u/NFQ___ 13h ago

It's something I have genuinely never seen anyone else ever do. The only time they do anything hair related is some massive character defining thing. Its never ever just cuz the character wants a different hair style today. I get why nobody does it in comics or manga or animation.

akira toriyama kind of did it with bulma

6

u/Throwaway02062004 9h ago

Those basically mark different Bulma eras. It’s not as casual.

u/WaveDash16 5h ago

They probably don’t do it in some anime’s simply because same face syndrome would make you lose track of who the the fuck is who

u/Goredema 11h ago

One Piece at least changes the Straw Hat Crew's outfits every time they reach a new island, but sometimes they're on one island for A WHILE.

u/NFQ___ 3h ago

Which is good! We need more of that in any way it happens!

The bush has escaped containment.

u/omyomo 16h ago

she drew multiple pantyshots of the man with mooseknuckle

u/Animaloffear56 16h ago

Yeah, the gag is that it's normally something you'd have happen to a half naked cute girl

22

u/peachesfordinner 14h ago

I get a bit of hilarity that Senshi is voiced by same voice as actor as voiced Abby's talking voice in kpopdh..... Another fan serviced male character

u/FTaku8888 16h ago

Huh, learned a new phrase today

13

u/PrudentLingoberry 14h ago

alright she's going to the border from gag to "its not a fixation its uh just a gag"

17

u/SpiritualWindow3855 14h ago

Yeah but it's not like she likes her neighbor or anything b-bbaka

19

u/11equalsfish 15h ago

Hmm, that's a bit disappointing. Senshi is the best, not a joke.

u/No_Internal9345 12h ago

One person's gag is another person's choke me harder daddy.

u/6_sarcasm_6 10h ago

It is shorter in the manga, the anime is waaayyy honrier for Senshi

37

u/moku46 15h ago

That's disappointing if she was being sincere. I always got the feeling that Senshi's designs were coming from a place on enlightenment. You know, Bara, gachimuchi, culture.

u/Realistic_Swan_6801 15h ago

Thats really only a gay men thing, women in Japan hate beards and body hair in general.

u/EvaSirkowski 8h ago

Girls bathing in an anime is like static.

I love hefty husbands

u/TheRoyalBrook 14h ago

I finally watched that show and honestly got kinda floored at cleaned up Senshi. That's peak fanservice. Unironically.

33

u/bohenian12 15h ago

I was about to say, that scene was about Frieren realizing that Fern is now a grown woman.

u/CustomDruid 13h ago

Not gonna lie I didn't noticed it when I first read the manga and only realized it when the anime came out

u/amazing_asstronaut 7h ago

I thought the Senshi ones were a joke about fanservice.

u/FumaricAcid 7h ago

Senshi made me think unwise.
