Hotter And Sexier / Anime & Manga

Go To

  • In Arachnid, which was filled with fanservice and disservice, Dinoponera was noticeably portrayed under the Magic Skirt rule. No panty shots or any nudity from her. Then the spinoff Caterpillar, which was published on a seinen magazine and had defined nudity on female characters (with at least two of them fighting in the nude), had a reprise of Dinoponera's debut towards the end and suddenly she has multiple panty shots. Blattodea went back to a shonen magazine but manages to be at least as raunchy as Caterpillar, and Dinoponera is stark naked when she is reintroduced.
  • Battle Royale started as a novel and movie with a bit of UST and one Attempted Rape, along with an interrupted sex scene that's stopped before the two involved go all the way. When this became a manga, however, it gained masses of violent, bloody rape of people living, dying, and dead.
  • The Bikini Warriors OVAs come with a "Hyper Sexy" version of 6 of the TV series episodes, which gives them a more explicit retouch, including leaving the girls fully naked with no censorship in a couple of scenes. And that's without considering the OVAs themselves, which features some on-screen yuri and breast-licking.
  • The original Birdy the Mighty manga was a Shōnen series that subjected Birdy to Barbie Doll Anatomy. The remake is a Seinen one with Birdy being subjected to Adaptational Skimpiness and depicting her with nipples.
  • Blassreiter was already a not-so-kiddy version of Kamen Rider, Blassreiter -genetic- manga does the aforementioned things and adds nudity and some sex scenes (NOT Implied type, the softcore porn type) for good measure. Yet it had a bit of a Lighter and Softer appeal to it.
  • In Blue Seed Beyond, the 3-episode OVA sequel to the television series, main character Momiji goes from having accidental panty shots to full-blown Fanservice. The other girls in the show got the same treatment, as well as them being designed to look more mature and with more curves. And the story line is about a new female character that is pure fanservice.
  • In the original manga of Chrono Crusade, Aion is a creep, but treats all the women in his group with respectful but platonic feelings, and while he delights in screwing with the minds of his enemies, he leaves their bodies alone. The anime version has him Forceful Kissing Rosette not once, but twice and attempt to rape another female member of her True Companions, plus several scenes in which he purrs seductively into a character's ear.
  • In Conception 2: Children Of The Seven Stars, the Star Children conception between the partner was more symbolic rather than actual sex. The anime adaptation of the first game attempts to lead the viewer on that actual sex may occur through frequent ecchi scenarios, even after a fakeout in the second episode which confirms actual sex isn't needed for Star Children conception.
  • Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, a manga spinoff of Code Geass that had Nunnally receiving a Geass along with Lelouch, had more fanservice then you can shake a stick at. Not to say Code Geass wasn't hot and sexy, but seems like the manga was specifically playing to the tune of the guys who read it.
  • Cursed Sword Master has a web-novel where the early chapters barely get to Bathtub Bonding. The manga has full-blown sexual intercourse on screen, especially chapter 4.5 that gets as explicit as manga can get without going all the way to hentai.
  • Of all the Cutey Honey adaptations, New Cutey Honey has the major amount of Fanservice and nudity, especially with the numerous transformation sequences of the heroine.
  • The DARLING in the FRANXX anime may have a lot of sexual metaphors/undertones, but the manga adaptation crosses into ecchi territory with uncensored nudity, courtesy of being drawn by Kentaro Yabuki of To Love Ru fame.
  • A reverse case: The first Devil Hunter Yohko OAV had scenes that bordered on softcore porn, like a Brainwashed and Crazy Osamu's Attempted Rape of Yohko. However, the OAV after that one were Lighter and Softer to make it more appealing to younger audiences.
  • Poor Dog Days. Sweet, innocent little Dog Days... while it always had some fanservice in it, it really jumped up a large bit in the second season. By the way, everyone's 13-16 years old (mostly 14 and a possible 12).
  • The Don't Meddle with My Daughter! manga is borderline hentai as it is, but still it dared to go further, after the series ended the author, Nozomu Tamaki, went on make some Doujinshi out it; these self-published extended epilogues (they happen after the series end) contain more detailed portrayals of sex and penetration befitting of a hentai manga.
  • When Mitsuki Oosawa got the job of making a manga based on Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, she managed to get away with cranking up the sexiness in the storyline quite a bit, via several scenes in which the characters are shown either having sex (nothing that graphic, though, more like R-rated), right after sexy times, or having rather erotic fantasies about their romantic partners. E.g.: the scene in which Deirdre and Sigurd confess their mutual love has Sigurd hugging a wet and naked Deirdre who had been skinny-dipping before he came in, and they go through Their First Time right after their wedding; Raquesis and Eldigan are this close to have sex after recognizing their feelings for each other, only Eldigan's conscience stopping him form taking Raquesis' virginity and finally setting into a Last Kiss; Deirdre's train of thoughts before being Brainwashed and Crazy includes more than one mental image of Sigurd and herself naked in each other's arms, and Sigurd also fantasizes about her nude self after her kidnapping; Lex and Ayra decide to get married when they're naked in bed and few after having sex (also coupled with Lex showing Hidden Depths and almost crying into Ayra's naked bosom after his Past Experience Nightmares about his Missing Mom and his feud with Langobalt); and Raquesis and Finn have sex right after their love confession (this one is fully understandable since they're among the youngest members of the army, they go at it right before Finn leaves for Lester not knowing if he'll ever be back to her, and both of them were very emotionally exhausted after Eldigan's execution, with Finn being barely able to keep Raquesis from crossing the Despair Event Horizon).
  • Fairy Tail is well known for its fanservice, but it wasn't as prominent in its earlier years. Similar to One Piece, the ladies went from mostly just slim to incredibly curvy, and the author has shown less and less reservation about how much skin they show, with nudity now not too uncommon.
  • In Food Wars!, whenever an attractive character would eat really good food, the series would depict their enjoyment as their clothes dissolving off their bodies as they moan in pleasure, sometimes with a particular theme. After the first few chapters, the manga would depict this in one panel and move on. The anime, on the other hand, would linger on for 30 to 60 seconds each time.
  • The manga adaptation of From the New World includes far more gratuitous fanservice compared to the anime or the original novel, with far skimpier outfits for the female characters and several ecchi yuri scenes. While the original novel was more sexually explicit than the anime, the manga is considerably more fanservice-y than either, since the sex in the novel is not played especially for fanservice, and is instead described in an almost clinical fashion.
  • Green Green's anime was always risque, but the third omake, the final episode, and the Erolutions OVA (only released on DVD) take it to explicit territory. The former has a comical, but rather racy sex act depicted on-screen, and the latter is full-blown hentai. Of course, the anime was based on an Eroge to begin with.
  • Gundam SEED probably had more explicit scenes than all of the other Gundam series combined (especially in the Special Edition, where we get to see Kira getting out of bed after having comfort sex with Flay, then has flashbacks to such an event during battle). Being in an age where the Internet speeds up the pace of Rule 34 helps too.
  • Go Nagai is well-known for his risky, borderline hentai titles. Heck, his break-out title was the aptly titled Harenchi Gakuen (Lewd School). This one was still a shounen manga though and never went beyond being naughty. In the mid 90's however, a reboot called Heisei Harenchi Gakuen hit the shelves, which finally was a full-fledged cartoon porn.
  • Hanakoi Tsurane: Inverted. Although Nastuma Isaku was never a particularly explicit author, this manga has much more chaste romance compared to others. While in a lot of her works, the main couple get together fairly quickly and is shown to have an active sex life as soon as they get together, the protagonists of Hanakoi Tsurane take two volumes before they even kiss, even more for them to start dating and about double the time until they actually have sex.
  • Highschool of the Dead is already heavy on the fanservice, but still topped itself with the "Drifters of the Dead". Despite its 15min. runtime, it crams in so much in-your-face innuendo, that it borders on being softcore porn. Though the ending reveals they'd all been hallucinating.
  • Higurashi: When They Cry is a murder-mystery involving demons and survival, with some comic relief thrown here and there once in a while. But after the story being wrapped up in the anime, it seems to be getting this treatment with their fourth season, Higurashi Kira, filled with mindless fanservice.
  • In The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, while Amahara is no stranger to creating sex fueled works, his touch is never too graphic in Idaten’s original webcomic; the official manga version drawn by COOL on the other hand is more prone to showing some gratuitous naked breasts and a little more detailed portrayal of sex; the anime version is closer to Amahara’s webcomic.
  • While Idol Densetsu Eriko always had fanservice (despite being aimed at little girls) the DVD release content push it to near-nudity when it comes to the main two characters, to the point you'd actually confuse the show for a hentai. One cover infamously has Rei on her stomach showing off her backside, and the only thing stopping her from being completely bare naked is a thin bra and some bloomers, and another has her wearing frilly white bras and panties. Click at your own discretion.
  • Like the above example (Shared Universe) Idol Angel Yokoso Yoko also has this when it comes to protagonists Yoko and Saki. The anime is also aimed at the 4-12 age bracket, focuses on two girls running an ice cream shop while trying to become idols and actresses, has a cast full of characters with Tareme Eyes and is a Merchandise-Driven Shoujo, but when it comes to promotional material....
  • While the Interspecies Reviewers manga is already pretty high in ecchi content due to the premise (a group of adventurers having sex with Cute Monster Girl prostitutes and writing reviews of their experiences), nobody is ever actually shown having sex; any scenes leading up to sex will immediately cut to the main characters' notes for their reviews, there is little explicit nudity and what nudity there is will be usually used as the source of jokes. The anime, on the other hand, does show sex scenes, which makes it magnitudes more ecchi than the original manga, to the point that the sex scenes are occasionally just a conveniently placed Scenery Censor or conveniently arranged angle away from being full on hentai. The anime was actually dropped by several streaming services and Japanese networks after a few episodes for being Too Hot for TV.
  • Kaguya-sama: Love Is War:
    • Kaguya-sama is a rather tame series, especially for a seinen romcom. Its "Official Doujin" spin-off is literally built on putting the characters in fanservicey situations, and was written by someone who produced hentai of the series.
    • Not in the graphical sense, but late main series’ gags and conversation topics are much raunchier than what the early events ever had, talking about sex becomes more common place as questions pop up about what further steps should one take after hooking up, two gags on teen pregnancy happens, one outlandish misunderstanding of an innocent board game crafting as running a full blown drug cartel / prostitution ring, and so on.
    • The OVA cranks the Fanservice of the first Darkness chapter significantly, turning what was once a straight parody into an Indecisive Parody.
  • After the initial arc of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, the fanservice gradually ramped up until eventually there was a fight scene where Barbie Doll Anatomy is the only thing that keeps one from immediately realizing the female character fighting is Going Commando.
  • The Little Busters!: Mask the Saito OVA, which moved a whole bunch of scenes between the girls that were originally set on the baseball field and placed them in the bathroom (while they all, bar Mio, were naked, of course) and added a couple of random shots of the girls in their underwear getting changed, too. All in all it added up to more fanservice than had been in place in the original VN and main anime combined.
  • The uncensored version of Lupin III: The Secret of Twilight Gemini contains far more fanservice and innuendo than most Lupin III Made-for-TV Movies. It contains several topless scenes, instances of near full-frontal nudity, and two instances of offscreen sex between Lupin and Fujiko.
  • Macross Frontier is this for the entire Macross franchise, in no small part thanks to Sheryl Nome. Sheryl wears probably the skimpiest outfits in the entire franchise and takes a rather different approach to the typical Idol Singer the franchise has become known for. Hell, one infamous moment has her exclaim that her breasts bring the galaxy hopes and dreams!
  • Lyrical Nanoha:
  • My-Otome:
    • The anime is this compared to My-HiME, with the entire setting being built from the ground up to encourage yuri antics.
    • Furthermore, its manga counterpart had a number of non-canon Hentai chapters added to it. Even outside of the hentai chapters, the fanservice levels are Exaggerated compared to the original anime (which has fanservice, but nowhere near as much). The storyline is also changed, making it more harem-like, which for the intended target audience could also be considered a form of Hotter and Sexier. The manga adaptation of My-HiME looks child-friendly compared to it.
    • My-Otome Zwei also levels up the fanservice from Mai-Otome, with the Furo Scene in episode 3 averting Barbie Doll Anatomy and skirting perilously close to the hentai line.
  • Maken-ki! has a harem sub-plot, which includes a fair amount of fanservice. It's mostly seen in the omake chapters about Usui's dreams, which become progressively risqué. The same can be said of the bonus art used as the preface pages for certain chapters, like the one that precedes chapter 45, as well as some of the promotional art for the series.
  • Mazinkaiser has more fanservice than any adaptation of Mazinger Z, especially episode 4, which has sexual humour and nudity.
  • Reversed with the Anime Mezzo Forte. The 2 Episode OVA featured full well animated sex scenes worthy of an adult rating. However, the television series cuts out the sex, but maintains some of the hardcore violence.
  • Hinata of all characters gets this treatment in Naruto the Movie: Road to Ninja. Her alternate-universe self is more assertive, wears makeup and has ditched her baggy hoodie for a sleeveless sweater.
  • Although Ogenki Clinic is one of the more iconic hentai series, some would be surprised to know that the manga it was based on, while still raunchy and explicit, was significantly tamer and was closer to an R-rated sex comedy than straight up porn. The sex scenes never went past visual innuendoes and implied penetration.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion, when moving from anime to manga, made Rei's shower scene (among others) more explicit by removing the Barbie Doll Anatomy and Scenery Censor that was used in the anime. Taking advantage of the R-rating, the movies get a bit of this as well, though not as explicit.
  • One Piece, where every adult female is either a gonk or a sex goddess in her own right. It didn't start out that way though. The most blatant example is Nami, as illustrated here. Part of this can be attributed to Art Evolution. Earlier in the series, everyone who wasn't explicitly fat or otherwise especially bulky was very gangly instead. As Oda's style changed, all characters got a little meatier, whether it meant more muscle definition for the men or more curves for the ladies. Additionally, though the incidents of fan service also increase, even as long-running female characters themselves get hotter, there are also more of them. For instance, by the Loguetown arc (end of the first saga), there were only five living female characters: Nami, Tashigi, Alvida, Kaya, and Nami's sister Nojiko, with only Alvida being fanservice-y, and amongst the men, only Sanji had ladykiller qualities. Contrast that to arcs like Fishman Island or Dressrosa, both of which have oodles of sexy ladies as background characters and as important secondary characters (Caimie, Shirahoshi, Sharley, Baby 5, Violet) and the introduction of many Bishonen-type characters, like Law or Cavendish.
  • In One-Punch Man, the original ONE webcomic has only a few key female characters appearing in and out of story, the most recurring ones, Tatsumaki and Fubuki, are never said to be particularly beautiful by other characters and ONE’s simple drawings don’t put the sisters on any Fanservice situation; Murata's manga adaptation on the other hand really makes use of his high grade art style to make pretty much all female characters in the series have varying degrees of titillation, Tatsumaki and Fubuki have their beauty in display in every panel with borderline skintight outfits, several daring cover pages that has Fubuki posing as if during a photoshoot session, like a gravure model; also if a new batch of heroes that didn’t exist in ONE’s version happen to have a new female amongst them, it’s very likely she will be a very alluring woman as well.
  • While Pokémon: The Series can come off as this, the Pokémon manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu on the other hand is a definite example of this trope, giving most of the female characters large breasts and tight, revealing outfits.
  • Pokémon Adventures is this compared to the games, which feature almost no fanservice. Some characters such as Blue and Gold are more flirty than most characters in-games, and Male Gaze becomes more prominent once Satoshi Yamamoto takes over as the artist.
  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica featured almost no sexual Fanservice of any kind besides a few moments of Barbie Doll Anatomy (and even then, all instances of it were removed for the Compilation Movie). Puella Magi Kazumi Magica, the first spinoff, dove straight into this; Kazumi's outfit shows more skin than those of all the girls of the original series put together, and early stories feature a Naked First Impression and Kazumi failing to conjure up a skirt. Given that the main characters remained middle-school-age, this aspect was somewhat disconcerting, and the likely reason for why the later Puella Magi Oriko Magica and Different Story reverted to the series's standard of "no fanservice outside of Ship Tease" (though they certainly didn't shy away from gore).
  • The anime of Rosario + Vampire has more Fanservice than the manga. It is completely overused and abused in the anime, to the extent that the writers sacrificed the entire plot and Character Development of the original manga in favour of breast and panty shots. Cue cries of outrage from fans of the manga.
  • The anime adaptation of Sgt. Frog inverts this; while there's still some Fanservice, it's a lot more toned down in comparison to the original manga. Even the art style is modified to look more family-friendly.
  • Shimoneta: The anime adaptation quickly gained notoriety due to Anna and her "Love Nectar" being used regularly throughout the series. The light novels and manga only contained one such scene.
  • The spinoff/Alternate Continuity Slayers manga, The Hourglass of Falces, is probably the closest the series gets to this trope (even if it isn't the series proper). Basically, there's actually a decent plot that makes sense, and two major characters who didn't appear outside the novels (Luke and Milina) appear, but it usually falls under the shadow of the sheer amount of BOOBIES. The canonically-busty Princess Amelia gets an outfit switch that includes a short skirt flaunting a pair of panties, Milina's outfit changes entirely into a skimpy ensemble, and Lina makes up her flat-chested status for panty shots. Also, the Tagalong Kid for this manga, Noa, is a living stack of Fetish Fuel (enormous breasts, short skirt, and wets herself in fear in one scene). Add a lot of Skinship Grope, and you've got one hell of a racy spinoff...
  • Super Dimension Fortress Macross: The 2009 manga upped the level of sexuality to a PG-13 status. There's more focus to breasts and legs then there was in the 80s anime. Minmay is hit the worst, prompting a cry of "Haruhiko, you do know she's only 15, right?" (Although that would at least not constitute an obstacle to an relationship with Hikaru since he's only about 11 months older than her)
  • Tenchi Muyo! GXP might be this compared to its preceding series. In one episode, even though it was only a holographic disguise, "Amane"'s outfit was so revealing that even Emma Frost would blush at it. This also led to a bit of Questionable Casting in the dub. Seina's mother looks to be in her late 30s to mid 40s and is a bit on the heavy side, but she has a voice that makes her sound like a woman half her age and thus appearance.
  • With To Love Ru as fanservice-laden as it is, one would consider it impossible for this trope to apply any further, yes? No. To Love Ru Darkness is even more fanservice-heavy than ever from page one, with more nudity (it's not an exaggeration to say that not one chapter goes by without a girl's breasts and nipples visible or complete nudity making extreme use of well placed censorship), Rito's Accidental Pervert antics cracked up to the extreme and many scenes where Yabuki sneaks in glimpses of the girls' vaginas. Basically, Darkness goes from the simple Ecchi to one step short of Hentai! (In Taiwan, Darkness is outright slapped with an R18 sticker and sold in such sections).
  • UQ Holder! started out rather tame compared to its immediate predecessor, but as the manga went on, fanservice gradually returned in full force. As it neared its end, nipples and genitalia were drawn via outline, and scenes escalated to on-screen sex.
