Unclear Description: Jiggle Show get usage counts

Lord of Castamere
[up] Fast Eddie wants this thing to be an article about "TV shows like Baywatch", and we are supposed to come with a good description for it. How could we do this? I think that first we have to decide if this will be restricted to Live-Action TV shows, or if anything that seems to run on fanservice appeal counts...

Instead, I have learned a horrible truth of existence...some stories have no meaning.
Gainaxing is about animating breasts' jiggling individually and in different directions.

Jiggle Physics is about animating jiggling in video games. Animating hair, clothes or fat jiggling, besides just breasts.

Well, this isn't a trope so much as it is a genre.

My previous suggestion for the laconic before the lock (thanks for opening Ironeye!) was: "genre where the emphasis is on attractive and sexualized characters (often female) and the plot is secondary to the fanservice". I wouldn't mind expanding beyond Live-Action TV, since I'm sure there are works in other mediums that were created just for the fanservice.
I think there are probably quite a few films or animes that can qualify for the same description. The term hasn't to my knowledge been used about them, though.
The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.
[up][up]I like that description. It's clear and concise.
 
Fast Eddie cleaned up the decription and made the whole page in line of what his vision of the trope should be, which we were deliberating about in this thread. I don't think there is anything left to be done here.

I like it.

Sounds fine, although I'd like to put an Excuse Plot pothole in there somewhere.

@feather since the term jiggle show originated in the west, it's not often used to anime. The term there is 'ecchi'.

@Animeg: That I know.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
