Not really, Strike Witches has constant implied and made pantyshots, which is one of the reasons I will never add it to my favourites, the idea of the entire world facing a grave alien danger together?
Awesome, Montgomery and Rommel fighting together is probably a childhood dream of mine.

The only thing about GuP that came close to fanservice was the mentioned bath scene.
Oh wait, one of the girls wore a bikini once for a few seconds, the moment came and went past faster than a strafing A-10.
But I guess that’s a point for you?

I would like to know what kind of animes you watched… I have a feeling you chose quite the wrong tag when looking for animes.

Here you go, and remember to activate captions.

Oh come on, anime girls fully clothed? If you are a fan of the culture and normally only wear napkin-sized miniskirts, it doesn’t mean that it is what everyone would call fully clothed. If fully clothed ends only when you see everything, you’re missing quite a few shades of grey from between. There is anime, there is hentai and there is anime that borderlines on hentai.

Western culture enjoys ADULT women as sexual objects, but does so also with men. We don’t however, treat underage boys like sexual objects and neither should we treat underage girls that way. I promise you, if you dress your 12 year old daughter like GuP and take her to a public place you’re going to get shady and judging looks. Upskirt little girls are not a good form of entertainment.

But honestly, if there was no exposition of adults as sexual objects, we would all just be prudes wearing spacesuits to cover our whole body and turning the lights off the moment we step into the bedroom. The point here is that adults are capable of consent because they are capable of handling the consequences of that consent. Children are not and that’s where the distinction between the two comes from. You should leave children alone to figure things out on their own until they are ready to take part as adults

I didn’t state it’s better than DB at all oO
I simply stated the fact that DB, too, has it’s awkward moments.

If I wanted to highlight an anime that is better than both I would’ve gone with one of these:
Noir, Clannad, Zipang, Valkyria Chronicles (Game not anime), School Rumble, Macross, Space Battleship Yamato, Gundam, and a metric ton of others.

DB is a good anime, but not one of the greatest, it’s one of those series that you grow up with and age with.
(Remember how DB went from childishly to more and more “serious”?)

From that PoV DB is a great anime, it’s set up in a way that you watch the initial season as a young child, DB Z as a teen and DB GT when you’re in between teen and adult.
Why do you think GT went with the young Son Goku appearence?
Nostalgia.

A similiar trick the Harry Potter movies used, the audience (for the most part) grew up together with the protagonists.
That’s some marketing cleverness right there.

Edit:
Btw, I rate GuP with a 6/10, and the only redeeming features are the tank battles and occasional funny moments. (Waking Mako with a dud shell)

This. You think the Germans get the short end of the stick, the French don’t get any of the stick.

Yes. Except unlike the WTF-100 it is actually a real design.

you cannot define GuP as a better anime than DB. since GuP is overrated because of peoples like you mate (“OMG GIRLS DRIVING TANKS SO MOE”). from my point of view, anything MOE and anything COOL should NOT be MIXED. Touhou excluded.

Heh. Do You know about that American game called baseball?

- Fully clothed
Belt length mini skirt, constant implied upskirt shots. STRIKE ONE
- One bathroom scene
The sole fact that You know such thing by heart says a lot about the target audience. STRIKE TWO
- And 9/10 animes don’t either
9/10 animu is now girls doing things while scantily dressed. Oh wait, it was always like that. STRIKE THREE
aaaaaand you’re out!
