6* If you're aware of ''Anime/{{Albegas}}'', it's either for two reasons: 1) you're curious to see what would have happened if it made it to the final cut of ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' or 2) you want to see breasts getting groped.
7* Outside of the ''Manga/BlackButler'' fandom, the series is often known for the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything corset scene]] and the scene where Ciel was DisguisedInDrag. That dress is his IconicOutfit despite being only worn once.
8%%* The anime of ''Manga/ChargerGirl'' is best known for the scenes where Plug wets herself.
9%%* ''Anime/DivergenceEve'' has a very serious and complex sci-fi plot, but that doesn't get talked about much. Instead, most people focus on the fact that almost every female character (not an exaggeration) has breasts the size of their heads and wears extremely tight-fitted clothing. It's almost impossible not to talk about the fanservice because of how omnipresent and out of place it is with the seriousness of the plot.

13%%* ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'': What if Franchise/{{Pokemon}} was your typical Battle Shounen? The manga is notorious for this with most of the girls having a lot bigger bust size and [[MaleGaze lots of shots of the butt on characters]] and [[{{Stripperiffic}} girls that wear very little clothing.]] Misty is the prime offender here, with a normal outfit that shows lots of skin and a swimsuit that shows [[{{Underboobs}} some of her breasts from the bottom]] as well as [[{{Sideboob}} the side of her breasts.]]%%unsure%%
14%%* ''Manga/ElfenLied'' is probably best known as that manga (or [[AdaptationDisplacement anime]]) with huge amounts of nudity and gore. Most of the nudity is in the context of MindRape or psychological abuse, but that small detail easily falls to the side.%% unsure if FanDisservice counts%%
15* Most dismiss ''Manga/FrankenFran'' as some weird medical fetish manga, [[CoversAlwaysLie judging by the covers.]] Nevermind the horrific versions of each cover on literally the next page or the fact it's actually a horror-fueled BlackComedy.
16* The only things most people seem to remember about ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet'' are the scene where Amy dances for Ledo in a skimpy outfit and the BeachEpisode, despite the fact that the rest of the series has about as much fanservice as a Disney movie.
17* ''Anime/FlintTheTimeDetective'' is a pretty harmless series about a cave boy who travels through time to find creatures known as Time Shifters. In Episode 21, Flint and his friends travel back to ancient Greece to find a shifter who grants superhuman strength to whoever he touches. During the episode, the Shifter comes into contact with one of Flint's companions, which causes her to [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever become giant]]. What more, after suffering ClothingDamage, she's given a fitting playboy costume to wear for the rest of the episode. This episode is perhaps the most well known one in the series, and is likely what has kept it from being forgotten.
18* ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' is about a group of people about to die that are cloned by a spherical machine and forced to hunt aliens whom live secretely on earth in return for their "new lives", being full of moments of thriller and drama because of that. However, most people likely know it for two reasons: first, the extreme violence and gore; second and last, the large amounts of nudity and sex. The fact that the manga also features [[LadyNotAppearingInThisGame random and almost naked women]] in its chapters covers doesn't help.
19* ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'': ''Gunbuster'' is [[Creator/HideakiAnno Hideaki Anno's]] first directorial work. While it's a decent precursor to ''Evangelion'', sharing many of the same themes of PTSD and alienation from others, the OVA series is mostly known for having multiple gratuitous breast shots as well as scenes of full nudity, gaining the nickname "Bustgunner" in anime circles.
20* {{Discussed|Trope}} InUniverse in ''Manga/IGotMyWishAndReincarnatedAsTheVillainessLastBoss''. A major part of ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Saint and the Four Knights]]''[='=] popularity comes from the cut scenes where Karen heals the (usually) male romantic options and then proceeds to strip them to make sure she got everything. This is the one thing Elizabeth wasn't prepared for when she was on the receiving end.
21 * ''Anime/JapanAnimatorExpo'' is a series of shorts organized by Creator/HayaoMiyazaki (the brains behind Creator/StudioGhibli) and Creator/HideakiAnno (creator of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''). They're a means for names in the anime business to create things without interference from production committees or studio censors, and what gets produced are hugely varied in themes but always visually amazing, whether it's sweet, action-packed, breathtaking, humorous, profound, depressing, or anything else. However, the only short that gets a lot of talk, besides the ''Evangelion'' ones, is "[[http://animatorexpo.com/mememe/ Me! Me! Me!]]" a music video about an otaku's [[DisneyAcidSequence fever dream]] that consists largely of identical crowds of the same woman gyrating half-naked or fully naked eager to jump ([[ImAHumanitarian and eat]]) his bones, set to pulse-pounding techno/rap.
22* ''Manga/KillingBites'''s finale had a scene where the muscular, shirtless Leo pins [[RavenHairIvorySkin Yuuko]] to a wall and tells her she's his [[SexSlave slave]] now. It lasted about two minutes and both the characters involved were minor... but to this day, ''every'' thread discussing the show inevitably includes a screenshot of that scene.
23* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'': Nowadays it's mostly known as "that one show with the female character in a latex suit and uses whips", especially due to all the fanart produced on Website/NewGrounds.
24%%* The {{Stripperiffic}} heroine of ''Anime/KillLaKill'' makes the series a GuiltyPleasure by design for many viewers. However, those who endure often come to appreciate the series' other strong points, such as humor, intense fights and its larger-than-life characters.%%unsure%%
25* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'':
26** ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' only had fanservice manifest in a HotSpringsEpisode, very early in the series, but it's the reason most commonly cited (right before the TransformationSequence and HomoeroticSubtext) by people who [[HypeAversion don't want to watch it.]]
27** Later seasons proudly fly the fanservice banner, making ''Nanoha'' known pretty much as a [[YuriGenre Yuri]] series with magical girls in it. It's one of the few to have adult females in an ([[HideYourLesbians ambiguous]]) relationship and even rarer in that they adopt a daughter.
28* ''Anime/MagicalPokaan'' was a CuteMonsterGirl version of ''Anime/GalaxyAngel'', but what everyone seems to remember most is {{Stripperiffic}} [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent wolfgirl]] Liru, who went on to become a BreakoutCharacter. Other memorable incidents include Yuuma's occasional MarilynManeuver due to ChunkyUpdraft and a FuroScene featuring overdeveloped [[VoluntaryShapeshifting tanuki]] "{{g|enderBender}}irls".

32* The best known of the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fillers is the pre-timeskip arc where Naruto and Team 8 travel together. The most remembered scene in that arc is without a doubt the waterfall scene. Naruto spots a naked girl dancing in a waterfall. Unknown to him, it was Hinata practicing a new jutsu.
33* Mention ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' and most people will inevitably think of Fanservice or ClothingDamage. Yes, the manga has a lot of fanservice, but it also has a ton of CharacterDevelopment, an epic plot, and a ton of [[CoolVersusAwesome awesome fights.]] Still doesn't keep the fanservice from overshadowing just about everything else in the popular perception of the series. It doesn't help that the early volumes were more {{fanservice}}-heavy than later ones. To make matters worse, a lot of people's only exposure is the first anime, which is severely lacking in a lot of the more combat oriented storylines. Ironically, the second anime lacks any fanservice what-so-ever.
34** In-universe, Takane D. Goodman is remembered by others for getting naked a lot ([[ClothingDamage although never by her own choice]]) and little else, except for her co-workers, who try to console her about that.
35** In fact, Takane is so used to it that, [[spoiler:when she challenges Negi (and loses)]] in chapter 345, [[spoiler: when she ISN'T stripped of her clothes (which is how Negi usually and accidentally wins against her a lot), she's insulted, and DEMANDS that he undress her]].
36* ''Manga/NurseHitomisMonsterInfirmary'' primarily makes use of fanservice through the title character's boobs, but it also notoriously treads across miles of fanservice territory with the wild post-puberty changes of both students and staff. [[LampshadeHanging Both are even discussed in-universe]].
37* ''Literature/OcculticNine'' is a paranormal mystery series where one of the characters is a huge-breasted genki girl. Lovers and haters of the series focus on her breasts and ignore everything else about the show.
38* The seventh ''Franchise/OnePiece'' movie ''Anime/TheGiantMechanicalSoldierOfKarakuriCastle'' is an adventure involving a golden crown, giant robots, a giant turtle, and a (non-canon) explanation for how Luffy got the name for his Gear power-ups. All of that is brushed aside for Nami and Robin's breast enhancements, constant bouncing, and fetishistic outfits.
39* Certain episodes from ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' are more well-known for characters wearing fanservice outfits than the stories and important events that unfolded.
40** In ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'', the episode "March of the Exeggutor Squad" has Ash's Charmander evolve into Charmeleon and the episode "The Misty Mermaid" has Misty's Horsea and Starmie departing from the main cast. But these events were barely remembered by fans because those episodes also feature Misty in fanservice outfits, the Goldeen showgirl leotard and the [[MermaidingSwimsuit Magical Mermaid costume]] respectively.
41** In ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'', the episode "A Pokévision of Things to Come!" is best known for Serena wearing a Fennekin [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine bare midriff outfit]] and Ash reacting with surprised confusion, fueling [[ShipTease Amourshipping teases for the fans]]. The rest of the episode, however, is mostly about Serena trying out Pokévison and bonding with Fennekin, and she mostly wears conventional dresses and cooking outfits.
42* The short lived ''Shonen Jump'' manga ''Manga/RookiePolicewomanKirukoSan'' is this trope to a T. The titular character is a green-haired, busty, hyperactive cop who caught the eye of fan artists all over, resulting in an explosion of fanart for her after only a few chapters were published. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to keep the manga going, as it was cancelled after only six months of serialization.
43* The anime adaptation of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' is much HotterAndSexier than the manga, with breast and {{panty shot}}s galore, which has caused some backlash from certain parts of the fandom, but usually not to the point that it ruins the series for them. At least not until the 2nd season, which largely discards the plot in favor of even more fanservice to the point that most [[EstablishingShot Establishing Shots]] include ''someone's'' panties.

47* ''Literature/SoICantPlayH'' has a fairly intricate plot concerning the balance between the human world and [[AnotherDimension Grimwald.]] It also features gorgeous art and character designs by Kanai Yuuko, with animation by Studio Feel. Yet, if you go by most forum discussion, you'd swear the series was nothing but boobs and Lisara being [[ClothingDamage stripped semi-nude]] in all of her fight scenes.
48* ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'' had a prominently large proportion of male viewers watching it only for Chun-Li's ShowerScene. Apparently {{fanservice}}-loving Creator/MasamiObari noticed and provided respective shower scenes as well on the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' and ''VideoGame/BattleArenaToshinden'' [[TheAnimeOfTheGame spin-offs]] he directed.
49* ''Anime/SwordArtOnlineTheMovieOrdinalScale'': Fans most talk about the scene where a bathing Asuna climbs out of the tub with her nipple and butt visible. Which wasn't in the theartical cut (the bath scene was there, but not the nudity), only in the home release.
