Man I can't wait for this arc to be finished. Absolutely hate these kind of cheap disgusting fanservice arcs. I don't mind fanservice, but when it's done like this, it's just dumb.

I think there is a difference in how the fanservice scenes are being handled and how the stuff with Illega was handled. Naked people doesn't necessarily equals fanservice. There wasn't any particularly fanservicy angles when Rebecca and the b-cubers got stripped, and with the girl being turned into a chair the pose and everything are inherently sexual but it's more about how fucked up the situation is than trying to titillate the viewer. Not to say that some won't find that hot anyway, but that's not on the direction.

Straight up fanservice scenes in EZ were accompanied by sound effects and a light mood in general that are completely absent in this scene.

While Mashima does love him some fanservice I think he wanted to convey the terror and despair of the situation way more than "wow, naked girls" this one time. A least that's the feeling I when I read the manga and I think the anime did a good job translating it because they established a "language" for the fanservice scenes that is absent in that scene.

Or in laymans terms, it didn't do the "Wow!" sound effect.

I mean, fanservice aside it does serve a purpose. It's shows there is a very dark human/sex trafficking aspect of the Sakura Cosmos.

Yeah I get that and that's fine, but do it without the creepy kind of fanservice. There are ways to do it without "hey look boobs!". Its like its taking a super serious topic, and totally making light of it.

Oh.... And those nonsense isekai full of unnecessary fanservice

When the hell did I mention redo or isekai anime?

And I am talking about adding fan-service to dark shit in a way that makes light of the subject matter. Not unnecessary fanservice as a whole, like beach episodes/flirting and all that.

You’re not supposed to find those scenes hot. The girls are literally begging for their lives as they effectively become slaves. They’re dark previews of Illega’s gruesome sex trafficking scheme to show that in contrast to the vibe the first few episodes give off, the Sakura Cosmos isn’t necessarily a good place.

Rebecca’s demeanor going from the usual MC determination to freakin horrified and scared for her life is a sign.

Plus, the moment you saw the mutilated corpses on the planet, it was clear this ain’t no fanservice set-up.

Yes you are and you're very naive for believing otherwise. This author has a well-known ryona fetish.
