"Crossing the Line Twice, hard as it may be, can also occur at some point, thus using the fanservice for the advancement of the plot. Negima! is a mild example of this, whereas something like Strike Witches goes further and Seikon no Qwaser may be the definitive example of the phenomenon."

This couldn't be any more vague if it tried. What does that mean, and how did these shows achieve it? It's not explained on their individual pages, which both merely mention that they're full of fanservice. The third one doesn't even have a page, which I can only assume means it got cut for being porn...

Without more specificity, I think this whole paragraph needs to go.

How about the nerd type of fanservice? Is it covered elsewhere?

I'm not sure, that one's too exclusive... Thinking about it now, I think it's something more akin to Mythology Gag, but more, how should I put it, expansive.

Sounds like you might be looking for Continuity Porn?

"Fanservice also consists of things designed to please longtime dedicated fans: Shout Outs, Bonus Material, in-jokes, etc. "

Where is this from? It goes in a completely different direction from the rest of the trope. Recommend deletion.

I've seen a lot of people in at least game journalism that refers to fanservice in the non-sexual sense that's designed to please longtime fans. You know, as described in this lexicon: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54

Could anyone make these images into an Image Links page?

An open mind and compassionate heart are among the most important qualities we can have.

I think that this trope has been applied far too often. Some tropers seem to think that any nudity (or some partial nudity, or certain body parts) qualifies as fanservice. This trope should be reserved for erotic uses of nudity and partial nudity used for audience appeal.

... Explain a situation where nudity is not used as fan service to give some reference here.

Not objecting to the deletion of this trope's former image, but does anyone here besides me think we should have a different image in general from what we've got here? I have nothing in particular on mind, but the current one comes off as fan-disservice.
