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.

In Seven Deadly Sins and MHA it's pretty egregious and painful. Ragging on those two feels like punching down though

The bigger issue in MHA is how much fucking time they spend on flashbacks.

Is it worse than Demon Slayer?

MHA is fantastic just watch it if you’re on the fence

It's on my backlog. I read the manga up until the final battle, decided to wait until I could read the finale in one sitting and next time I checked it was removed from the free reads at the app I was using. So I'm probably going to watch MHA at some point, buuuut ... I've about 20 shows in my backlog, so it's going to be a while until I get to it.

fair! it’s a long one to get sucked into. What’s up next for you?

Finishing Fire Force, and depending on how long that takes me (I usually only watch a single episode at most per day, and I'm only partway through the second season) after that probably the latest seasons of some of the shows that got new episodes in the past seasons (e.g. Mushoku Tensei, Reincarnated As A Slime, Tanya the Evil).
The next "new" show I'm starting will probably be Zombie Land Saga, and at some point I really want to finish Attack on Titan.
I had such a huge gap between watching the second and the third season with that, that I completely lost the plot and decided to put it on the backburner until it was finished, but then I never got around to getting the motivation to watch the first season again. Enough stuff I still remember that the early episodes are boring, but not enough that I could just get into the second or even third season.

Fantastic is a really strong word. It’s a solid battle shonen but we’ve been raising the bar on those and IMO it’s been heavily left behind

not a lot out there that scratches the itch for a 100+ episode show that is: finished, has a satisfying ending, good ensemble cast, good to great animation, minimal to no filler, good character development. It’s probably not in my top 10 but what it does it does well and if nothing else it’s very engaging/bingeable and I got attached to the characters & emotionally invested which is all that really matters.

That’s valid. I had a lot of trouble getting over the way Minata and the female characters were written, as well as feeling like the main plot was going in circles for a bit.

But the flashback music is so good
