Okay so I'm bored with a huge bus ride allll night and most of tomorrow too on my way home from Anime central.

Would anyone like some anime recommendations? Just designate:

*Genre
*Objectional content - how much fanservice, violence, etc. (Not sure what fanservice is? ask me, please don't google it. XD)
*Intended age range/gender (13 and under, 13+, 18+, for boys or for girls or both)
*Subtitled or English dub? (NOTE: i cannot guarantee the language content on subs because while MOST of the time the worst is an s-word it all depends on the sub team. But subs are often much better than dubs as far as vocal quality)
*Length - movie, 13 episode series, 24-26 episode series, 52+ episode series
*anything else? what kind of story are you interested in? character types, aesthetics, story tone, artstyle, etc.

That's actually still on my to-watch list so I can't tell you whether it's any good. Sorry! (I can tell you this tho - for US viewers anyway - it's legally able to be streamed on www.crunchyroll.com for free)

All I've heard is that it's good, it's about music, and it's a tearjerker. I definitely wanted to watch it but have been busy with other series.

Fanservice is a lot of things. It's all visual and it's all meant to appeal to the fans outside of the story itself. (Rarely it could be just a reference to something old or another series - a callback or something but usually ita gratitous content....) It could be as mild as really short school skirts or guys who have a tendency to go shirtless. The stuff I have watched will go as far as mostly undetailed nudity, up-skirt shots, bathing scenes, extremely revealing costumes, etc. I'm also aware of the big culprits when it comes to fanservice that I haven't watched so I can recommend what series aren't worth trying.

(This is why I said don't google it because you're gonna find all sorts of icky stuff on google)

Not to be confused with fan disservice which is elements that ordinarily might be used for fanservice but end up coming off really horrific. (For example nudity during an autopsy is fan disservice)
