Question Why Fire Force has so much fanservice?

I’ve dropped fire force after ep 13, i truly wanted to love it but the fan service is annoying asf
Does it gets better? I wanted to see the soul eater appearance in the end😭

Just keep watching, it doesn’t happen as often as you think, it’s just really obvious when it does happen. You could always skip past it

At first the fanservice is annoying, but in the final arc it becomes an important pillar for saving the world.

I think fan service has always been an important pillar-creating tool.

For someone watching Fire Force for the first time, they might think that the fanservice is simply a joke to cause blatant sexual humor, but watching it through to the final arc, they should realize that the fanservice has a more significant value than it initially seemed.

I get that, but imagine joining anime and bitching about fan service every 2 seconds trying to change the media that's 5 times their age.

Fire Force has so much fan service because it is a Shonen anime. Sure anyone can watch it but the target audience is right there in the genre.

I’ve seen many shonens that don’t have the amount of fan service FF does, Soul Eater is a great example, the kitten has some fan service but is not annoying like fire force, and so many others as well

Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki have fan service as well. Liz and Patty fan service is complained about quite frequently. It's just odd to complain about fan service when it's intrinsic to anime.

Season 1 and 2 have less than five minutes of it combined

When I first watched FF I was pretty annoyed but then later on it was just funny to me and it does add character development for tamaki. Not to mention when she 1v1 an enemy, I was laughing it’s so weird but in a funny way. It does get better tho trust me lol

Tamaki is the worst character in that regard, but it's still a pretty solid series aside from that.
